  • @arsepoetica Seasons 6 and 7, but mostly 7. #
  • @arsepoetica Things took a turn for the worse, but got better under Debra Cahn (seasons 6 and 7) #

  • @RPM You are my hero of the day, lady. #
  • A Canadian network is running a story claiming someone in the Obama campaign told our govt not to worry about NAFTA b/c it’s just talk. #
  • Reading CTV.ca | Obama staffer gave warning of NAFTA rhetoric at http://tinyurl.com/3asdhw #
  • Correct me if I’m wrong, but I got the sense that neither Obama nor Clinton said they would absolutely revoke NAFTA, just renegotiate terms. #

  • @patiomensch I doubt it too, but it made for an odd pop culture moment. #
  • @jbrotherlove If you spotted a whisker in your lasagna, be concerned. #

  • @arsepoetica And there’s a 189.6% chance I’m glad to hear I make you laugh. #
  • Wondering if I should show my face at the SXNW party at SXSW. Wondering if I did, if I’d get a lot of "You’re Canadian?" looks. #

  • @geekandahalf I married one, moved north, obeyed the law, and waited 5 years. #
  • Calling the Vancouver PD to tell them I lost my passport … inside my own home. #
  • I can fill "crime" reports online at the VPD’s website. Yay, technology! #
  • @msjen Oh, goody. That means I can be as snarky about the Royals as I choose! #

  • This list of Vancouverites heading to SXSW makes me feel really anonymous - http://tinyurl.com/2qtjo3 #

  • @geekandahalf OMG, I love you. #
  • @arsepoetica I’m taking that to mean "Why do y’all always get loud when you’re in a group?" #
  • It just occurred to me that I’m going to be working downtown. The photographic possibilities will be endless. #
  • @mellemusic That whole question can be framed as "I’ve never had any experience with black folks other than what I see on TV. " #
  • @adodom Not really a problem here in Vancity unless you’re taking photos on transit #
  • @geekandahalf Oh Sheila? #
  • @geekandahalf See, now you’ve gone and made me look it up on YouTube. Jam with me, everybody! http://youtube.com/watch?v=locRDFcIuiY #
