  • Woke up from a lovely nap to see a bunch of old white guys talking about race and being post-racial. Suddenly I want to sleep for 100 years. #
  • @gnumoon Please, I beg of you - throw a Big Mac at him. #
  • Anyone out there got a Ping.fm beta code they’d like to share? #
  • @michellej Average home price for a detached single family home in Vancouver - $616,496 (as of March 08). That price is for a dump. #
  • @tiffanybbrown Pharmaceutically speaking, I’m a fan of "the big W". #
  • @michellej It’s not unheard of for people here to spend upwards of 30% of their monthly income on housing. #
  • @tiffanybbrown I’ve not had any side effects with the W, but I do have to take it with breakfast, otherwise my tummy gets a little upset. #
  • @tiffanybbrown But I’ve taken things that caused astronomical weight gain (that I still can’t get rid of a year and a half later). #
  • I have the Captain Kangaroo theme going through my head. #
  • @neoCarla The sun. "Good morning sunshine, it’s a happy song we sing ’cause we’re happy to see you and the good times that you bring." #
  • @neoCarla Actually that should be "Good morning, Captain" #
  • Said theme song: http://tinyurl.com/5mmus5 #
  • Why was Emmy Jo only Doug’s "helper" on New Zoo Revue? #
  • @RPM Someone’s looking for you… http://tinyurl.com/5jztmj #
  • @ruby He tucked his t-shirt into his sweatpants. Not a good look. :D #
  • I think Tyler Hansbrough is incapable of keeping his mouth closed. :D #
  • Rogers finally announces the iPhone will be in Canada "later this year". Maybe I’ll stick with my N82 and get an iPod Touch. #
  • Trying to make the library’s browser based auth work as an access point on my phone #
  • Yeah! Got it to work! Now let’s see if the N82’s battery drains quicker with the browser running in the background. #
  • @anildash mentioning Michael Jackson inspired me to cue up "got to be there" on my iPod. #
  • Holy cow - a YouTube comment reminded me that back in the 70s you could get 45s on the back of cereal boxes. #
  • @mathewi Re: the iPhone - yes and yes. However, I bought a Nokia N82 because I got tired of waiting for the iPhone, and I won’t switch. #
  • Carleton U and the U of Ottawa allow non-university students age 16 and over to borrow books from their libraries. Cool. #
  • So tickled that I get to hang out with @mellemusic @felicious and @allaboutgeorge this weekend. #
  • And @misterjt too, if he’s around. #
  • @dotlizard I’m sticking my fingers in my ears and pretending I don’t hear said debacle. #
  • @misterjt Melle and Fel are taking me to their whisky spot. I request the honor of your presence. :) #
  • @dotlizard Oh, I did that at the end of last week. I swear, it feels like 2004 all over again. #
  • Listening to Billy Bragg for some perspective. #
  • @drublood There is an African American man in the running for the democratic nomination. Trust, the US has come far. #
  • @drublood That would *NEVER* happen in Canada. Never. #
  • And Russell Peters comes up on my iPod during this discussion on race. My iPod is psychic. #
  • The Russell Peters bit I’m listening to: http://tinyurl.com/5dl72w #
  • @mellemusic I said whisky. No ‘e’ please, I’m Canadian. ;-) #
  • @mellemusic No comment on Canadians. *giggle* #
  • I wonder why so many people prefer LibraryThing when Shelfari’s interface is much nicer. #
  • I didn’t realize Stephenie Meyer’s new book was for adults and wasn’t part of the "Twilight" saga. Anyone read it? #
  • @dotlizard Ah, that explains it. Thanks! #
  • If I have you listed as a friend on LibraryThing, would you kindly d me my screen name? I can’t remember it to save my life. #
  • @msjen Have a great time - I wish I could go (and I wish I could test more phones…) #
