- Beautiful sunny Sunday. Unfortunately I’m about to head to the office. #
- @ZoeSasha Every Sunday morning is a Sigur Ros kind of Sunday morning! Uh, except this one. I needed Spiritualized to get me moving. in reply to ZoeSasha #
- Seriously, my productivity at work goes up at least 10% when I listen to any of Spoon, The Toadies, Mates of State or Neutral Milk Hotel. #
- blip.fm needs an ‘artist = dead’ flag so it doesn’t ask me if I’d like to know when Muddy Waters & Son House are playing concerts near me. #
- 1/6 of the way through the MLB season and the Jays lead the division. What the what? #
- Finally listening to the new Bishop Allen. Very twee, but very catchy. Tweetchy. #

- Girl next to me at Fran’s was fighting back vomit. I beat a hasty retreat. #
- And now the 2 old men sitting in the barber chairs are railing against the liberal media. Did you know the NY Times backed Stalin + Hitler? #
- @Andrew_D No, that was the Sunset Grill. That’s where I’d planned to go but the line was 20 people long. Fran’s was plan B. in reply to Andrew_D #
- @rshevlin It didn’t kill me so much as make me snicker. The conspiracy theories got worse from there. And no, they were at least 50. 🙂 in reply to rshevlin #

- Can’t get Kim Deal’s wailing/moaning on “River Euphrates” out of my head right now. #pixies #endlessloop #
- @Timinator It must be a conundrum for you. You get to go home early, but the reasoning behind that decision is SO flawed. It must kill you. in reply to Timinator #
- @Timinator OK, well, maybe not so much. It IS sunny out, after all… #
- Until this Advil kicks in I would appreciate it if y’all would refer to me as Captain Migraine. Thanks in advance. #
- Need to find a better quality version of “Lafayette Blues” by the White Stripes. Because it might just be their best song. #
- @mmpartee Morriss, I’d say hi, but I’m still not talking to you following that whole Bruins-Canadiens thing. in reply to mmpartee #
- Just got a huge (but awesome) pile of work dropped on me. The challenge now will be to keep it from ruining #hotdocs09 for me this weekend. #
- @modernmod Because you’re on the patio I hate you with the burning passion of a thousand stars. Big ones, too, not those little dwarf ones. in reply to modernmod #
- RT @gajarga: This will not end well: http://tinyurl.com/dznzal ATTENTION @modernmod !! #
- Dan needs a beer like the Jays need a starting rotation. #

- @modernmod Do you mean Babur? Babar is the cartoon elephant. 🙂 #
- I think our waiter has been eaten by wolves. Or possibly swallowed by the earth. #
- @Weedrummerbhoy What’s to translate? r = ah. Like the British, but more nasal. #
- @modernmod “I’m Confused” by the Handsome Furs = winner. in reply to modernmod #
- @modernmod alright then. while i’m at it: “chancer” by the von bondies. or “21st birthday” in a pinch. #ukula in reply to modernmod #
- @modernmod good choice. one of my songs of the year so far. in reply to modernmod #

- Reason #31 for feeling dumb today: left my umbrella at home. And it’s raining. Oh, and no coat either. So, uh, that’s #32. #

- Car alarms: quite possibly the most poorly executed idea ever. #
- Never thought I would experience hearing Neko Case played over a grocery store’s speakers. #
- “Obsessed” #1, “17 Again” #2 and “Fighting” #3. 29%, 56% & 35% on Rotten Tomatoes. #cinematicapocalypse http://is.gd/uHCA #
