It boggles my mind that Wil can walk out of the house and off to work with no bag on his shoulder, and nothing in his hands. #

Wil comes home with glitter on his face every night even tho he’s not one of the employees required to wear it. They call it circus herpes. #

New Years ’08

@djearlybird: Whatchoo talkin’ bout, did you do one too? OH THAT. That’s nothin’!! Not even a blip on my annoyance radar. Not what I mean. #
@djearlybird: p.s. I will only slander nameless faceless tech-information bloggers, not friends. Did you use a pie chart? I don’t think so. #

Christmas at the Tonga Room

edith — Thu, 27 Dec 2007 07:59:37 +0000

Wil took me to dinner at the TONGA ROOM! And I talked to the whole family, and even heard back from my ol’ pal Shelley. Awesome Christmas. #
@hotdogsladies: thanks a LOT for getting “Don’t Pay the Ferryman” stuck in my head. Argh!! Well, it could be worse. Could be “Lady In Red”. #
I said I wouldn’t, but I fucking poured my heart out to Shelley and now I’m plumb tuckered out! Trying to catch up, there’s too much to say. #

Merry Christmas everybody!

@meimaimaggio: I bet @SantaClaus has a computer built right into the dasher-board. ;-) Merry Christmas / happy holidays everyone! #
Wil got me a Brookstone charging station for my geegaws! It’s soo pretty. Satisfies many lusts: gadgets. organization pr0n. and wood things. #
(It can now be revealed that I got Wil an Expression Pedal to go with his Line6. He needed it for his pedalboard. & it was a real surprise!) #
Wil got me tipsy with a champagne cocktail. We’re going for a nice Xmas dinner later; he won’t say where! Says it’ll be more FUN than fancy. #
(p.s. we’re taking BART, don’t worry!) #
Oh I almost forgot! Go get your annual copy of me sing-humming “Silent Night” over on John’s music page! http://johnwhitney.net/music.html #

Ever since I moved to WP, my content’s been getting splogged like a mofo. Wonder what scraper they’re using? Maybe I could htaccess ‘em out. #
@McChris: Great idea, I forgot you could do that. I wonder if you can buy a gift card using a gift card? #

Kindle books now wish-listable on Amazon! Although, for now the button only appears if you visit the book’s customer reviews page. #
Wil is a prolific movie reviewer on his F’book Flixster. Super smart &/or funny. I.e. for Vanilla Sky: “I personally prefer chocolate rain.” #
5 stars for Pootie Tang! “it’s a baddy daddy lamatai tebby chai. That’s a canapan, all the way down. wa-da-tah.” I concur. #

Ohhh… somebody at Kindle Korner is saying that although you can add Kindle books to your wishlist, nobody can actually buy them. Psych! #
@Ihnatko: I’m afraid of that too! I never blog on my blog anymore, but here I can’t shut up. You’re hands down my favorite tech writer btw. #
Honest Gift Tags

A box. For me! I love it.

edith — Sat, 15 Dec 2007 07:59:45 +0000

Oooh I got a box from JJ! But I can’t open it, so I gave it to Wil to hide. Otherwise it might start talking to me. #
Finally made the appointment for my ultrasound. Sounds like a *great* bargain for the uninsured, and LOTS of fun, I can hardly wait! Pfffff. #
From Kindle Korner: Amazon now allowing MP3 and Unbox downloads to be purchased with gift cards… Kindle books coming soon too, hopefully? #
“A Christmas Memory” by Truman Capote: http://tinyurl.com/6qfyu …I had a teacher at Austin High who would read this aloud every year. #
Twitter will be down all day for maintenance tomorrow, so I won’t be blathering as much about the Kindle, talking boxes and bug-candy. Enjoy #
Ran into friends, they asked what I’ve been up to, I couldn’t think of anything! Afterwards I thought of LOTS of things. How embarrassing. #

Invisible hands

edith — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 06:59:03 +0000

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. #

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! #

Coughing with Sandy

edith — Thu, 15 Nov 2007 07:59:25 +0000

I would love to try iwantsandy.com but it seems to be bogged down. I’m getting internal server errors and it won’t send my activation info. #
Sandy’s talking to me now. But eww, in Comic Sans MS? What, is that back in style now with the cool kids? #
Now I have this obscure Carpenters song stuck in my head. “Ewww, Sandy…” #
I think I have to fire my new assistant. What’s the syntax for that? #
Wil & I have been passing a cold back & forth for the past few weeks. Now he’s better and I gotta bad cough. Must lay off the smokey-treats! #

Chicagoist got me craving a nice Cuban sandwich with fried plantains. Do they even have those in California? http://tinyurl.com/2rw2km #
Wil’s at work so I turned off the lights and played like I wasn’t home. Now I can eat the emergency candy! I bought it in case of marauders. #

Finally using the blogroll feature in WP, to display my “other stuff” links. Looks exactly the same, but it’ll be easier for me to maintain. #

Wil just Craigslisted himself a gorgeous blue Crafter acoustic, and I am so very jealous. I’m the one with the blue guitars in this house!! #

Great name guys. “Moco” means “booger” in Spanish. http://tinyurl.com/ytxzy5 05:00 PM #
Wil got new strings for his upright so he’s playing on ‘em to stretch ‘em out. Thinks it’s very silly that I’m all wowed by his playing. #
Seems like it’s gonna be too cloudy to see that lunar eclipse tonight. Bring the helicopter ’round… #

Radio show in SF

edith — Sun, 11 Jun 2006 05:34:00 +0000

I’m going to be playing on KUSF in San Francisco this coming Tuesday the 13th, at about 10:30 or 11am PST. It’s a show hosted by a certain "dj schmeejay" and I think the whole show runs from 9am to noon.

My pal Wil Hendricks is joining me on upright bass — y’all might know that name from his work in the Lofty Pillars and on various Simon Joyner and Califone records. Wil scared up an acoustic guitar for me to use, borrowed from a bandmate of his. YAYYYY!!! I’m excited. I wasn’t expecting or even wanting to do any shows while I was out here but this’ll be a nice low-key, fun thing to do.
