Have decided that links and twitpics get posted without commentary. The point is YOU CLICK. 
- Just watched somebody get totally busted for reckless driving. –
- That was seriously hilarious. If you check out the BrightKite link, you’ll see this wasn’t in a great part of town. There was a cop car ahead of us in the left turn lane, and the light to go straight turned red. A car pulled up and stopped normally, then suddenly a car went screeching up behind him with a loud squeal of tires. He stopped before hitting the other car, but :A: and I saw the cops in front of us craning their heads around, and then they got out and went and had a chat with Mr. Drives Too Fast. We had to wait through the light cycle for them to move, but it was worth it for the laugh!
- Extremely sadly empty here. Craft section is virtually nonexistent. Not much else interesting. –
- I single-handedly tripled their GLBT collection. Literally. Myself. –
- The above two tweets are from the in Baltimore. You can get all the books you want there for free. People donate books, and we’d been saving up a ton of gay-related books to bring to them. Normally we wouldn’t travel so far just to donate books, but we know the Salvation Army would have thrown them out, so we waited until we needed to make a trip to Baltimore. The shelves were horribly bare, though; signs said that it was their busiest time of year for pickups and slowest time of year for dropoffs. I didn’t find a single thing I liked enough to take.
- Got a neckloop for the first time ever. Hoping it works. Here to see Cats. –
- Ah, the most realistic part of Cats: Intermission, where Old Deuteronomy sits and watches all the people moving about.
- Oh, and the neckloop is broken of course. Turns out I don’t need it though…I already know all the lyrics to the whole musical.
- It was a great show! I don’t think neckloops ever work though. I asked around online to see if people ever bring their own or anything like that, but no one was able to help me. God, I loved the show though. I could have sat through it again the very next day.
- 1st came 4 the peanuts, didnt spk up, wasnt a peanut. Then came 4 pistachios… (HUGE apologies 2 Niemoeller)
- Nobody commented on this on Twitter. Harumph. I thought it was funny. Horribly offensive, perhaps, but funny! The pistachio recall doesn’t seem to be making as big an impact as the peanut recall, though, so I suppose most people didn’t even get the joke.
- Driving on the Hill itself is like playing Gran Turismo, moving to the front of the pack by dodging and weaving. #
- I think I will repost my #ilovedc Tweets without commentary. I try to make them speak for themselves anyway.
- Every time I see a motorcycle zoom past, I think “yeah…life’s pretty cheap to that type.” #
- I really do. Not if they’re driving normally, but if they’re being jerks I think it!
- really wants to be made into a LOLcat. A very tiny LOLcat.
- – Potholder in progress, going very slow
- – Time for cherry blossoms!
- Kids all over The Hill, some dressed up (pages?) some not dressed up (tourists) – I love American right to access govt #
- Could’ve paid $5 for a book on Half.com, but the author has a Half account and it was only $15. Got from author – now that’s direct support!
- The book was by Lew Golan; that link takes you to the book on Half.com where you can order it from him too!
- How come nobody told me Old Navy has XXL sizes?! Picking up some awesome basics for cheap!!
- I spent $200 that day; ended up returning $60 of it (two dresses) but I was so impressed that they had nice basics for cheap. The tops are so thin though, you can see my piercings, so I can’t wear them to work!
- Went to Apple Store. Got $30 headphones w/mic; they DO work in iTouch AT LAST. Tried several cheap mics, none worked. Naturally.
- I bought a $5 mike, a $12 mike, and a $15 mike. None of them worked. The $5 one had earphones that worked, but the mike part didn’t. I have no clue why none of them worked; a few were listed as being compatible with iPhone which theoretically meant they were compatible with the Touch (though using a mike-only unit means you don’t get to hear whatever sound is playing) but none of them were. It took the official $30 Apple brand to be compatible. Ah well, they seem to be not too bad, I’ve ordered little foamy caps to make them stay in my ears.
- Also got the $20 sensor for Nike+iPod to use in my walking class this summer. (Shut up, I needed a PE credit.) Plan to cut up Payless shoes.
- I ended up buying a $10 sensor pocket for my regular shoes, it velcroes around the laces. I’ve been finding that the thing is quite unreliable though, sometimes it just decides to conk out and not measure anything. I’ve used to measure the trip from here to the local shopping center; it’s about a mile, but the last time I walked it, the Nike+ only picked up 0.05mi of that! I’ve looked around online and a lot of people have this sort of problem, even if they have the expensive Nike shoes.
- Oh praise Bob! allows iPhone and iPod Touch users to get direct access to iPod_Control. Now I can upload workouts!
- It turns out the iPhone and iPod Touch cannot be used in Disk Mode. There are various apps that allow you to pull your music off them, but iFunbox was the one that actually let me access the directory structure of the iPod Touch. Good little program.
- Oh my god. Restoring the iPod Touch puts all your apps back in alphabetical order. I want a computer-based icon arranger now more than ever.
- It turns out there are a couple of those, but they all require you to have a jailbroken device. I’m not interested in jailbreaking mine at all. I like the warranty too much, plus it’s a pain in the ass. A friend at school has an iPhone and he jailbroke it, it was pretty cool when he showed it to me but he said had so many problems that he ended up just undoing the jailbreak.
- Just heard this good story on the radio:
- RT @mactavish: Trending words on Twitter: Jenny, Autism. And it’s bad. People are buying into her dangerous nonsense.
- See, I told you kitty was in the paper: Yay!
- -xkcd tattoo = win
- I am still so full of delicious cheesy goodness. I want to skip the “entree” next time though. Just cheese, salad, chocolate. #
- We went to the Melting Pot and it was good but expensive. We think next time we will just try to do cheese and chocolate. Does anybody know if they allow you to do that? They make a fuss over it being a two-hour meal so I worry that having less than the full spread would cause problems for their scheduling and they might not allow it. But mmmm cheesy goodness.
- Interweave Crochet drives me nuts. Mission Falls 1824 Cotton for a baby bib. $20+ of yarn for a BABY BIB. How about some RH Super Saver?!
- They are always like that, too. Interweave Crochet suggests the most expensive yarn possible, I think. I like Crochet Today or whatever other magazine it was that suggested realistic yarns. Why are people such yarn snobs? What’s wrong with Lion Brand?! But seriously, you could make the baby bib pattern with $6 of Red Heart Super Saver and it would be FINE when it got spat upon and whatnot. Hell, you could probably do it with $6 of Lily Sugar n Cream too. It’s a baby bib for crying out loud, you don’t want to use expensive yarn with that!
