• I got my Withings scale! Using public shame as a motivator, it’ll be tweeting my weight daily. (I’m a fatass.) http://twitter.com/edithscale #

• I’ve been enthusiastically supporting elimination of all Flash from the web since about 1996. ;-) It’s a scourge, I’ll be glad to see it die #

• Fully bathed in the Apple Reality Distortion Field. I want an iPad and I want to move ALL my data to the cloud. Can’t wait for iTunes/Lala. #

• @mgrimes: Yep, still vaping and snussing, and still mopping up spammers on Trog’s forum. ;-) #

• I’m excited, yes, but disappointed the iPad won’t run normal Mac apps. And no camera for video chat? Not that I’d ever do that, but still. #

• KNITTING IS FUN! #

• My eyes are getting really bad, really fast. Somebody waved at me from only like 15 feet away and I couldn’t tell if I knew her or not. :-( #

• Ordered a Withings WiFi scale. Don’t think I’ll be using the twitterbot feature… would public shaming help me lose weight? I don’t know man… #

• Karl raided our apartment to watch football ‘cuz his cable’s out. Definitely the first time football’s been shown here during our tenure. #

Took me a month to knit… I’d made one for my sister Lucie and liked it so much I wanted one for myself. I used a free pattern by tentenknits, and the yarn is Misti Alpaca Tonos Worsted, in the colorway Impossiblue.

• I got my health insurance card in the mail! Effective in Feb. First insurance I’ve had since that Muze job in 1993. I can’t even believe it. #

• @teapotgirl: all yarn & guitars safe & dry. kitchen was the best place for disaster, considering we don’t even cook or keep food in it. heh #

• Raining cats and dogs, but just outside. ;-) Still cleaning the kitchen – toaster & microwave were full of water (unplugged!), prob. ruined. #

• Plumber gone, waterfall subsided, kitchen partially cleaned up. EVERYthing got dripped on w/ rusty water & must be washed or thrown out. :-( #

• A burst pipe upstairs, it’s raining in our kitchen! #
