@documentingme<\/a> i concur. today = http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/5qefxe<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
@chrislibey<\/a> added to the reading list. some of these sound amazing. #<\/a><\/li>\n
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. #<\/a><\/li>\n
cholera puts our economic depression into a helpful context. at least you’re not crapping your life into a pit from drinking infected water. #<\/a><\/li>\n
@tofermoran<\/a> we’re there in spirit. our flesh must follow. #<\/a><\/li>\n
Got the Gormenghast omnibus back out of the library, as well as Stephenson’s new brick, Anathem, & Bely’s 20th century classic, Petersburg. #<\/a><\/li>\n
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. #<\/a><\/li>\n
learning to humble myself. not a swift learner. #<\/a><\/li>\n
Movie night success. Fellowship makes even good things sweeter. Early morning tomorrow. #<\/a><\/li>\n
But I, being poor… #<\/a><\/li>\n
Man, when it gets late, everything in my room turns into a grappling hook. #<\/a><\/li>\n
airport. roommate. early. #<\/a><\/li>\n
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. #<\/a><\/li>\n
In other news, my roommate is awake. #<\/a><\/li>\n
writing. must finish that short story…. #<\/a><\/li>\n
@mathiasreese<\/a> You only get to go through the special boy line because you brought midget water. in reply to mathiasreese<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
@documentingme<\/a> it’s actually “pass her palm…” but same idea. don’t you misquote our songs, boyo. in reply to documentingme<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
@documentingme<\/a> 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<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
@acarvin<\/a> Good musical choice. Also: Black Rider is a good album for such weather. Indeed, any weather. in reply to acarvin<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
@jayrosen_nyu<\/a> isn’t that true in the newspaper too? or on television? people are the problem, not the medium. in reply to jayrosen_nyu<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
@documentingme<\/a> @tofermoran<\/a> try some christmas disco: http:\/\/is.gd\/cwvs<\/a> useful counterattack against other people’s christmas jackson 5 mixes in reply to documentingme<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
@tofermoran<\/a> good a musical place as any to start, i suppose. take with some salt. http:\/\/www.pitchforkmedia.com\/node\/148119<\/a> in reply to tofermoran<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
@documentingme<\/a> @tofermoran<\/a> whatever, man. i’m listening to swedes weep into microphones from across the sea. in reply to documentingme<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
@tofermoran<\/a> 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<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
@tofermoran<\/a> 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<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
@documentingme<\/a> and at the end \/ something that bends \/ our sniffing sensibilities. \/ screwum. (wamp-wamp) in reply to documentingme<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
@mathiasreese<\/a> glad you’re safe. how was the flight? in reply to mathiasreese<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
listening to sections of famous operas played by antique music boxes. it is everything i dreamed. #<\/a><\/li>\n
@mynameis_shoe<\/a> welcome. this is the internet. welcome to the internet *cue techno 10* in reply to mynameis_shoe<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
@mynameis_shoe<\/a> it’s a series of tubes. it’s all a bathroom, proverbially speaking. in reply to mynameis_shoe<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
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<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
Lotus Notes contends for the number one, absolute worst piece of software produced by human beings. It may be worse than Windows ME. #<\/a><\/li>\n
@craigmann<\/a> that’s a lot of quotes, man. in reply to craigmann<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
