- RT @feliciaday: Guess who finally joined Twitter? @ActuallyNPH Yes, that's the real NPH. He's new here so be gentle. #
- This Jigsaw Jones Mystery book I'm reading to Aidan just totally quoted Airplane. #
- "The nurse's office? What is it?" "It's a small room with a cot and little sink, but never mind that. This boy doesn't feel well." #airplane #
- Friggin' laundry still hasn't learned to fold itself. Man, I heard training cats was tough, but this laundry just isn't getting it. #
- Dear Grad Student: No, I will not interrupt my busy day to spoon-feed you information that is available if you'd just read the references. #
- Oh jeez, now Buzz is playing for the other team. RT @buzzbishop: Canucks bandwagon makes a blockbuster trade. http://bit.ly/45gGwD #
- WP experts: I've uploaded pics via FTP to my wp.org install. How do I get them to appear in the Media Library? #
- RT @jianghomeshi: Serious, u had never sung b4? Cory Monteith (Glee): "No. Nothing. You'd invite me to karaoke & I'd say no. Too nervous." #

- How did I not know about @grooveshark? Started with DCFC + nothing but good songs for 6 in a row now. Better than Pandora used to be! #
- Setting out on my ride home. Looks like I'll need the storm jib and a survival suit just in case. #
- The ability to add descriptions to Twitter lists has finally allowed me to bring context to a few of my lists… #
- Well, *I* thought "How It's Made" was a better choice than watching "Melrose Place" but even I was getting bored learning about sandpaper #
- Wow. Heading to Victoria today? The 1 PM is almost full already! Hope you've got reservations. #
- Some cyclists' sense of entitlement and disregard for others' safety disgusts me. #dumbass #
- Fortunately I had the chance to discuss the diminished mental activity of one such this morning, for several blocks. #dumbass #
- Although I suspect he was more put out that an older, heavier guy on a mtn bike caught up to him after yielding to peds & cars #dumbass #
- Wow, Wordperfect still exists? Why would someone use that over Openoffice, KOffice, Abiword, Google Docs, or any other free offering? #
- RT @dadventure: Hey YouTube, your new parenting channel is cool and useful, but why call it "for Mom"? why not "For Parents"? #
- An awesome post by @stv on teaching kids it's ok to make mistakes ends with the truism: Parenting is hard. http://tannock.net/?p=1934 #
- Although, I think I like "Parenting is challenging" better than hard. #
- Coming up soon on @cbcvancouver Radio 1: @policemuseum. I wonder what's in his basement now? #
- Ugh the baby's sleep problems are having wide ranging effects. Fell asleep around 8:30 last night. #
- RT @shanenickerson: 6:09am and I'm watching Dora the Explorer. I hope this is the one where she gets murdered in the spooky forest. #
- Pet peeve of the day: Web apps that resize my browser window. Do NOT mess with my careful window arrangement. #

- Well, crap. My Karmic install corrupted again. ext4 and my SD card just aren't playing well together. #
- For the past few weeks we've been putting Aidan to bed with audiobooks instead of music. He likes it but it keeps him up too long I think… #

- At home alone for the first time since Gwen and Aidan spent an extra week in NS while I came back to BC some 4 yrs ago. Weird. Quiet. #
- There's no denying it now. Q is officially "walking" #

- DC-3s? Are you kidding me? #IcePilotsNWT #
- So the football game is on now, 10 am. It seems a little early for beer and nachos. #BCLions #CFL #EasternFinal #
- Mind you the way the #BCLions are playing, I'm not sure beer is going to be enough. #CFL #EasternFinal #
- Dear #Huggies: Your EnjoyTheRewards website is broken. Won't let me in w/ Chrome, tells me to use FF. FF tells me SSL cert is borked 1/2 #
- Then the site won't let me in w/ FF. This has been a negative experience on your dime. #Huggies #Fail 2/2 #
- When I finally make it to the #Huggies site, I discover I can enjoy the rewards of being a Huggies MOM. You really know how to piss me off. #
- Attention all marketers following me. If you continue to refer to me as a Mom, you continue to alienate me. Why not say "PARENT"?! #

- http://twitpic.com/ql4mb – Taking Christmas pictures in front of the fire (A + Q) #

- Well jeez. Whitney Houston came back from the dead to get an AMA, why didn't Michael Jackson? #tasteless #zombieWH #
