I feel crummy tonight. Why do I eat two loaves of Jimmy John’s bread instead of real food? I’m a carbivore, just like Luther Vandross. #
@ninavizz Agreed, but getting back & forth across the border is so, so tedious now. Blame 9/11 and that guy who owns the Ambassador Bridge. #
@ninavizz Yeah, I always assumed it was federally owned but apparently not. Old but evocative profile of the owner: http://rurl.org/xt9 #
@zaren The phrase I always used to use was “built on a burial ground.” #
@ulotrichous Ooh, quad Xeons? Cheesegrater case? I miss working on those things all the time… but I don’t miss carrying them. #
Mr. Treehorn treats OBJECTS like WOMEN, man. #

http://is.gd/1GIB might be the worst thing ever inflicted on kids by adults. Naturally my kid loves it. More on blog as it develops. #
The CHS page on Arborwiki is a little short on the details. ["So fix it, jerkass, it's a wiki."] Shut up, http://rurl.org/xpr #
@mollyali I like howto, but on the other hand, I prefer “e-mail.” Isn’t it ironic? LOL #

@zaren Has C’cast gotten in touch with you yet? A couple of the senior customer service folks watch Twitter. #
Liked watching the 4×100 relays but could’ve done without the commentary. #
Dara Torres “might have had one more miracle.” Got that you guys? Silver Medal = NOT A MIRACLE. #
NBC made the AUS Men’s 4×100 team sound like Olympic griefers. They coulda ’shopped greasy, curly ’staches on them too. To make it clear. #

Two people I follow have almost the same icon from that manga icon site. Up/down cursoring btw. them makes a crude but amusing animation. #
I know it’s a bit late to remember Carlin, but John U. Bacon had a nice elegy for him a couple weeks back. http://rurl.org/xk5 P.S. “NC2A” #

@loresjoberg I just showed this to @victorlams and he pointed out that the dude has a BEAK too. Ouch. #

@jessamyn Don’t you have to pretty much add the 1 and area code to everything dialed from a landline anymore? Or is it still simple in VT? #
Spent much of yesterday going through my old NNW feeds to try to get started on feedreading again. #
…I feel like Rip Van Winkle. While I was gone, Cruel Site closed and its feed is Drudge Retort now… #
…I was subscribed to a gaming blog called UUDDLRLRBA+Start and it’s now redirecting to something called “The Bra Blog”… #
@pfanderson One of my friends at Merit NOC is looking into the Yahoo issue. =) #

US Relay Swimmers FOR THE GOLD! #
@andrhia I R NOT STALKR. #
@ninavizz I bet you the night they close will be an awesome killscreen… Oh, wait, you said 12 Galaxies, not Twin Galaxies. Never mind. #
@jweise I’ve heard you need to dl Silverlight, M$ verion of Flash. Available on Macs but only the Intel ones #
if @khage or anyone else is still looking for video of USA pwning France in the 4×100: http://rurl.org/x9l Warning, it’s a “laddish” blog. #

Stupid “Mamma Mia.” Two days later and still, I have ABBA songs stuck in my head. http://tinysong.com/1eOI #

@kbanas Did he tell you you share a birthday with Renteria? #
@kbanas Kristin Hersh? Charlize Theron? Jimbo Wales? Michael from “Lost?” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/August_7 #
@kbanas I guess that means Elizabeth Taylor and I are soulmates. Seems like it worked out a little better for you. #
