• Okay, now I really have to work. I’m not kidding, I’m really going to do some work today. Seriously. #

• Been doing more data entry work for Drag City. Me: “I worked 2 hours and 45 minutes today!” Wil: “You must be exhausted.” Heh. It’s true. #

• Why so quiet? Well I’ve been working my ass off, quite literally. Lucie & Mama get here tomorrow, I’m so excited! Have to clean off my desk. #

• Yay, I got paid for the work I did. What a concept. #
• The new Thin Man album’s out! I did backups on 2 songs. The last song’s the killer, even though I’m not on it. ;-) http://tinyurl.com/5go793 #
• Boston: Don’t Look Back

• Worked again. It went better than last time, but I’m still too slow, asking too many frickin’ questions. I wanted to hit the ground running! #
• Argh! Mac is a computer made by Apple. MAC stands for media access control: every networked computer has a MAC address. Yup. You’re welcome. #
• Just finished “Kafka on the Shore” by Haruki Murakami. Oh my god. Wonderful. Can’t recommend it highly enough. I’m all choked up about it! #
• @pallbear: I hope you’ll love it too…it’s not a difficult read like the real Kafka! BTW the Kindle version is spotless. Not even one typo. #

• I put in my first day at work & my brain hurts a little. It’s a weird system but I’ll get used to it. Also: I wanna buy an electric scooter! #

• I got the mini-job!! Yayyyy!!! ::does the happy dance:: #

• Oh man. I might’ve stumbled onto a good PT data/webmonster gig. It’d be like one day a week, leaving 6 full days for lollygaggin’ at home! #

• Applied for a seriously cool job, even tho I’m not sure that job actually exists. Can I just elbow my way into the best company I can find? #

• Memphis Minnie – Videos and mp3s
• Trying to remember the first piece of spam I ever got, that would’ve been like ’93. I think I wrote them back. “How did you get my address?” #
• Applied for a datajock job. My resume is such a joke, but I do have skillz. Too bad all record-store attempts have failed, it’s slow season. #
• FUCK! I accidentally followed a bunch of people I didn’t mean to follow. I blame Twitter for not explaining that “next” button. #
• (These are people Gmail put in my contacts, who aren’t necessarily ppl *I’d* call contacts, or aren’t even using their Twitter. Sorry folks) #
• Reexamining what happened… my fault: boxes were checked, I didn’t notice. “Continue” might oughta be changed to “Follow” tho, for clarity. #
• @senorfluffface: I kept you, on purpose! I only deleted the, you know, support ppl (Gmail auto-added) and ppl who don’t use their twitter. #

• Job-hunting is crushing my soul. Somebody needs to put me out of my misery, pronto. #
• You know what? Some people are really, really nice. #

• I need a frickin’ day job. Wish I could work for Google. Or… anywhere cool, really. Who would have me? What could I do, who could I help? #
• For somebody who doesn’t usually give a crap about politics I’m pretty excited about Obama gaining steam in this election. #

• @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. #

• Ugh, I need a job. #
• Whatever happened to making Stacks on the desktop? Wasn’t that part of the first Leopard demo? Steve’s a big fat liar but I love him anyway. #
• Last time I submitted a resume to a record store, the gal said “you know, they’re probably gonna throw it right in the trash!” Such is life. #
• OMG THEY SAID “MAYBE”!! I’m thrilled!! #
• MISSING: One of my very favorite socks. Last seen on my foot. Please help!! #
