- @documentingme i concur. today = http://tinyurl.com/5qefxe #
- @chrislibey added to the reading list. some of these sound amazing. #
- 1000 dead in Zimbabwe’s cholera epidemic. cholera means fatal diarrhea. you get maybe a few days to live if you don’t immediately rehydrate. #
- cholera puts our economic depression into a helpful context. at least you’re not crapping your life into a pit from drinking infected water. #
- @tofermoran we’re there in spirit. our flesh must follow. #
- Got the Gormenghast omnibus back out of the library, as well as Stephenson’s new brick, Anathem, & Bely’s 20th century classic, Petersburg. #
- listening to Rzewski’s “The People United Will Never Be Defeated: 36 Variations on a Chilean Song,” which is just as wonderful as it sounds. #
- learning to humble myself. not a swift learner. #
- Movie night success. Fellowship makes even good things sweeter. Early morning tomorrow. #
- But I, being poor… #
- Man, when it gets late, everything in my room turns into a grappling hook. #
- airport. roommate. early. #
- Played accordion in the hallway and sang the ever abraisive “Hey good morning, it’s morning, I’m a jerk in the morning” key-less wondersong. #
- In other news, my roommate is awake. #
- writing. must finish that short story…. #
- @mathiasreese You only get to go through the special boy line because you brought midget water. in reply to mathiasreese #
- @documentingme it’s actually “pass her palm…” but same idea. don’t you misquote our songs, boyo. in reply to documentingme #
- @documentingme also: the only time i’ve seen you that early, i was trying not to wake up your grandmother. And that’s not a “yer mom” joke. in reply to documentingme #
- @acarvin Good musical choice. Also: Black Rider is a good album for such weather. Indeed, any weather. in reply to acarvin #
- @jayrosen_nyu isn’t that true in the newspaper too? or on television? people are the problem, not the medium. in reply to jayrosen_nyu #

- @documentingme @tofermoran whatever, man. i’m listening to swedes weep into microphones from across the sea. in reply to documentingme #
- @tofermoran every day i miss it a little more. and swedes weep everywhere. i should know, i’m 1/2 a swede. so i weep on half of the places. in reply to tofermoran #
- @tofermoran the other half will declare a vendetta & possibly stab/shoot you. i’m conflicted. but both sides will write bad poetry about it. in reply to tofermoran #

- word of the day: “pismire.” it’s an antiquated word for ant. i found it in this poem: http://www.potw.org/archive/potw193.html #
- Lotus Notes contends for the number one, absolute worst piece of software produced by human beings. It may be worse than Windows ME. #
