- Dear toddler. Wake up for a feeding at 5am if you must but the deal is that you go back to sleep afterwards. You broke that deal today. #

- Other than "saving the NYT" and "locking up the gaming market" why on earth should I want a iTablet? #DontSeeThePoint #KoolAidFreeFor35Yrs #
- The Cons must really be worried about the latest polls. They're calling coalition governments undemocratic again. Ignorance isn't bliss. #

- iWin! $499/$599/$699 #iPad #CalledIt #
- $629/$729/$829 for 3G model #

- This "artist's rendering" included in latest Vancouver 2010 mailing http://twitpic.com/102lu9 So … the BC Place roof is coming off then? #
- .@Miss_Scarlett99 @gdmitchell points out it's Turin. Wasn't implying that they'd actually remove the roof but that they were misrepresenting #
- Still coming down from adrenaline rush of early-morning phone call. I hate early-morning phone calls, they usually portend Bad Things. #
- Just to clarify: This call wasn't bad news, just an out-of-time-zone early-morning call. #
- The force is strong with this one: @_scifidad_ #

- Really? I know that Science World is now "Sochi Building" but it's subtitled "Russky Dom"? #

- Boss keeps wandering by + chatting. :facepalm: It's like he has no idea how long it takes to get back the groove I was rudely pulled out of. #

- Dear @bctransit @skytrainlady (+ Canada Line acct?) When elevators are down (see: Van Centre) would be helpful to say where next nearest is! #
- Because (@bctransit @skytrainlady @canadaline) wheelchairs and strollers are a bit stranded when there's just a sign saying "out of service" #
- Maybe those should have been addressed to @translink. No idea. You guys need to consolidate your accounts. #TooConfusing #
- Cats, kids, and colds conspired against us last night. I'm beginning to think we'll never get a full night's sleep again. EVER. #
- And now, to go and put in a few hours' undisturbed work at the office. #
- … and the boss shows up. So much for a few undisturbed hours' work. Argh. #

- OK, now I'm really confused. Her back seems to wrap all the way around. #
- I bet all those celebs beneath her are thrilled. They're now coated in Pink juice. Gross. #
- Go go gadget 3D glasses! #
