@monicabyrne13 are you coming back to Durham? in reply to monicabyrne13 #

Confused about how to navigate the multiverse when i hop dimensions #fiftyfirstworldproblems #

@monicabyrne13 keep gnawing the proverbial femur of opportunity to fetch out that marrow of success, wherever. Visit next time you're in D? in reply to monicabyrne13 #

having finally gotten home from work i will maybe read about either heroin addiction or sisyphus. yesterday was all crucifixions. #cheeriest #

@mkazoo nostrils, ventricles, & tentacles: wending a reproducible path amid supracisrealistic hyperfoam. (self-help or mystic grad school?) in reply to mkazoo #

@AIGAdesign, oh please don't be shortsighted. #savemikejoosse #

@monicabyrne13 sounds good to me–never yet been there. Let me know when. in reply to monicabyrne13 #

@BunchOfSteve which will inevitably lead to a role in some teen dance movie… Hm. I've never wanted to halt the singularity before. in reply to BunchOfSteve #

@AllisoNicole86 if it's not the weekend proper, it's close enough to page dr whiskey. in reply to AllisoNicole86 #

pitch-perfect comic, "Darkness." by @Bouletcorp, link via @beatonna http://t.co/RnSyDHIA #

@realvalnolan in belfast, everyone is an atheist. because in belfast, it's true. #hellfast in reply to realvalnolan #

@mkazoo i like this sentence, "i will never put my toe in it." this person has clearly thought about what he will put his toes into. in reply to mkazoo #

@mkazoo he's almost certainly carrying a list of acceptable toe containers. in reply to mkazoo #

Inspired by my run yesterday, I have done a push-up. #whew #done #

@rstevens keep searching for mindcontrol diseases, i guess? might be gray, or red. (++thanks for the watterson reminder. hipdeep in rereads) in reply to rstevens #

@taylor_audrey "utopia" is more and more a narrowed & individual perception. i think clute said utopia was borges's library. (or something.) in reply to taylor_audrey #

oh hey if i just write one novel every day i will meet my horrendously unrealistic goals and quotas. quotas plus goals. goaltas. quotolls. #

well hey if all my first drafts are better than dostoevsky times lindquist to the power of faulkner eternal sum flannery o'connor then i win #

aherm, aherm, lindqvist with a latin spelling. we latin folk don't differentiate between v's and u's; what what, so posh, us. #

@nicoletaylor28 my envy exists, unsurpassed. notify edwardius that he has a camera & a strap in the mail to him. imma tryin' real hard-like. in reply to nicoletaylor28 #

now reading: william burroughs, naked lunch; paulina claiborne, tears of wolf and spider; mark helprin, ellis island. #

Sam spade narrating "apple bottom jeans" makes it an even more delightful song. #

Oh so I guess now it's weird to mutter to yourself in Sean Connery's voice every time you put on new socks. #HheurtsTheToas #

i'm just thinking of more reasonable ways to make money. #
