• DADDY’S GETTING ME A KINDLE FOR XMAS!! I mean Santa. YAYYYY!!!! How did he KNOW? ;-) ::jumping up and down:: #
• Finally at the back of the line for a Kindle. :-) They haven’t given me a date yet. I’m assuming the wait will be not unlike waterboarding. #

• Twitterrific is sending things without me hitting the fricken return key! I was SAYING I love Junior Mints but they give me a stomache-ache. #
• @ijustine: Junior Mints are covered in bug juice y’know… http://tinyurl.com/nyton I like to nibble around the edges, then smoosh. #
• Cortical Spreading Depression… a brain thing, related to migraine auras / scintillating scotoma. Google it… http://tinyurl.com/34cl4y #
• From hot out herre – a rare meme: > 1) go to wikipedia and click random article. that is your band’s name. > 2) click random article again; that is your album name. > 3) click random article 15 more times (or however many times seems >     appropriate for your band); those are the tracks on your album.

• Just took care of Wil’s Christmas present. EEEEE!! I can’t stand it. You know how I feel about boxes, and surprises too. They drive me mad!! #
• Googling for a papercraft Kindle, as an email gag gift for Daddy. Seems so obvious, but I don’t think anyone’s made one yet. #
• @jonathanboyett: Damn straight! I only wish Apple had come up with this first. #

• Got woken up way too early by a buzzsnort. Not my own but it very well could have been! I do that AND talk in my sleep so I’m the lucky one. #
• Amazon Filler Item Finder (via Metafilter)
• Bad Behavior antispam plugin for WordPress et al

• When I get the sleep-paralysis thing where I think I’m getting up, I can “stretch” my “leg” into the air and actually feel the burn. Freaky. #
• The TV was on (IRL) and I could “see” it… but when I put my hand up to cover that view, IT WAS INVISIBLE. Everybody look at your hands! #
• Earlier I’d caught a young woman who’d broken into the house. Shrank her down to 3 inches and held her squirming while I called the cops. #
• @gruber was there!?! I told him I’d just shrunken the last intruder and he’s like “heh… in your dream!” and I’m all… “well, yeah!” #
• Gotta very wily spammer trying to post pharmaceutical links in my Scintillating Scotoma group after I told him nicely to STFU. GRRRR!!! Ban. #
• Louisiana Fried Chicken forgot to give me my dirty rice, so I walked back. They made it right AND gave me free 7-Up cake. Customer service! #
• Wil and Happy last night at Armadillo Pizza

• @tigerbeat: after living in Chicago, I’m trained: the parka only gets put away in July/August. I know it looks stupid but I like to be WARM. #
• Now a Craigslister is offering ***$800*** to anyone who’ll sell him a Kindle. The hysteria is crossing over into total pandemonium. #
• Google Safe Browsing: Report a Malware Page
• Adding an Amazon Associates link for every mention of the K-word on my site’s twitter-feed. I could get $40! Doubtful but you never know. #
• Telling a funny story about a looney ex-boss. I got a million of ‘em, I’m a magnet for crazy bosses. (Ask me about the one w/ a shotgun!) #
• Befuddled over a tracklist for a comp I didn’t even know I was on. Not saying it’s not legit but you’d think I’d remember giving permission! #
• New iPhone’s acting weird. Home button won’t wake it after it’s been sleeping > 30 secs. Gotta press top button, then home, then slid … … #
• AS I was saying before I was so RUDELY cut off… “…slide. WTF?” Is that normal for newer phones? Sure didn’t work that way w/ original. #

• F’book newsflash: (name withheld)’s relationship status is no longer listed as “complicated”. Heh. And btw my site went kablooey just now. #
• OMG Daddy bought a Kindle! Fished in, fished in! I am vicariously super excited about it. #
• Just got back from Apple Store. THEY GAVE ME A NEW ONE! And headphones too! (the old ones were pretty fuckered up.) Steve, you are my king. #
• (I meant a new iPhone. I would’ve edited that but Twitter won’t let me.) #
• @BluesBro: naw, the Sprint comes with it for “free” (heh). But yeah I don’t think you can use the network outside the US. Hopefully soon! #
• Huh. The new iPhone is at 1.1.1, gotta upgrade. BTW it doesn’t have the bell icon on the mute-switch! I’m no longer SUPER special, just OK. #
• And on the tenth day, the ol’ jalopy was moved out of our spot. I hope they didn’t read it here though. I’m not THAT passive-aggressive. #
• Somebody on Craigslist is offering *$550* to anyone who’ll sell him a Kindle this weekend. Man alive, I haven’t seen such hype since June 29 #
• Wil got a big box from Amazon today. It’s been staring at me, sticking out its tongue even though it’s just a buncha deodorant or something. #

• Rainbows End by Vernor Vinge (The whole book, for free online in one bigass text file)
• DAMMIT! My iPhone’s volume rocker just lost its clickum. It thinks I’m pushing the up button and won’t stop. ARGH #
• HA! I got my geeky dad all intrigued about the Kindle. I *knew* he’d be into it. :-) #
• Met up with the wreck-a-stow lady. Status upgraded to “probably sometime”! FU if it seems an odd choice for a webcoder. I’d love it there. #
• I love mystery packages even if they’re not for me. Wil got one and it’s driving me mad even though it’s prolly just boring ol’ boy stuff. #
• For somebody who doesn’t even own a car anymore, I sure am indignant over that jalopy parked in our spot for the last 9 days. #
• LOL!! In the Kindle video demo of the dictionary feature he looks up the word “profligate”: recklessly extravagant or wasteful of resources. #
• The Amazon Kindle
• My iPhone is now useless for podcasts, unless I want my ears blown out by the faulty rocker switch. Got an appt with the genius tomorrow. #

• Trying to figure out how to get a PDF ebook onto my non-jailbrunked iPhone. Dying for a Kindle but it ain’t gonna happen anytime soon. Meh. #
• You can put PDF booklets into iTunes. But they don’t sync to the iPhone! BAH!!! #
• Sony just released a PSP firmware upgrade with no changes whatsoever other than the version number. How do you spell “fa-cock-ta”? #
• Part of the menu-that’s-not-on-the-menu at Jodie’s
• I’m full of Jodie’s #
• Regarding parking-spot territorialism: In Chicago I’d cook a pot of oatmeal and pour it on the fucker’s freezing windshield. Or dream of it. #
• I thought SpyMac was a Mac rumors site?! Looks like MySpace shook it up in their barf bag. (I’m so grumpy I must sound like @hotdogsladies) #
• Remembering the last guy who called me Edie. I couldn’t go to the funeral, obviously. #
• Bedbat? Is that meant to be kept under the bed, or over?

• Why is it that whenever I have a plane-crash dream, I’m always in the cockpit getting the worst possible view? #
• If there’s no food or drink allowed on BART, how are you supposed to shop for groceries outside your home turf? I’m overthinking this, yes. #
• I want a Kindle! Even though it’s way overpriced, and buglier than a Mattel electronic-football game from 1977… http://tinyurl.com/taxq7 #
• 452 characters per minute, with 87 correct words and no wrong words. Hot tamale! http://speedtest.10-fast-fi… #
• The sock has been found. No thanks to you people! #
• I soo wanna insinuate myself onto someone’s roundtable tech podcast, so I can bitch about Macs/gadgets/webstuff. Role model: @ambermacarthur #
• So ashamed I could only name 35 HTML elements! Wasted a full minute not realizing the clock had already started. http://tinyurl.com/2492aa #
• EMI to Cut RIAA Funding; Death of RIAA Near? (from Mashable’s lips to God’s ears!)

• I got 51 songs on the new Amazon MP3. :-) #
