Twitter Weekly Updates for 2009-08-23

  • Trying to figure out details of location for #KFABOS. Anybody got a clue? That information is really key to getting it moving. 3 weeks! #
  • Don't care who I'm helping out, temporarily changing schedule to begin work at 8:30 am is criminal. Off now… harumph. #
  • Showed up at 8:30 to find the set-up I & 4 others were asked to do completed by the 1 lady who came 5 min early. #Sigh. Coffee time till 9. #
  • Touring possible job sites, I try to picture myself spending my days surrounded by infants. Results not pretty. Bilingual gibberish? Nope! #
  • Visiting a YMCA daycare in an old building with wood floors, high ceilings, big windows. Reminds me of elementary school. Could I work here? #
  • Putting in placement preferances: 1 Only library branch w/ AC. 2-4 Other library branches. 5 R2LP office, data dept. NB No daycares, please! #
  • @sarahdopp DoDOOdodoodoo in reply to sarahdopp #
  • If you read my tweets and are interested in #KFABOS, then please get your adorable patootie over to the wiki & sign up! http://tr.im/KFABOS #
  • @sarahdopp Having had both experiences, I couldn't agree more. (Also you are so on point with me today! Two replies in 4 hours! That's mad!) in reply to sarahdopp #
  • Off to another day. Opted to not show up at 8:30. They can take it out of my hide if they want, but I'm sick of my time being wasted. #
  • Growing less patient w joa training everyday. Even the useful info is nestled in quantities of crap. Need the #kfa model here: 20 min, max. #
  • 'In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.'-MLK. I think of #KFA. Please, spread the word. #

Twitter Weekly Updates for 2009-08-02

  • Safe now in Providence, connected with @zacmakes, found internet and connected with @maymaym. Much packing to do, but all's well. Hooray IM! #
  • So hot and muggy I'm sitting in my undies, not wanting to pack or clean. I miss #SFO #fog and cool weather, and more. But, pack I will. #
  • Said it was too hot to pack. Was correct; did not pack. Now, to Boston. If I must be unproductive, let it be with friends and cake. For Joy! #
  • Much cooler today. I will pack, dammit. I will! #
  • Knocked out one room, cleaning at all. It feels both like a huge accomplishment and like a very slow start, at once. Showered, now I feed! #
  • So. Sweaty. Wash, then go fight eldritch beasts, cooperation-style. Then back for v. late packing spree. I WILL finish the kitchen tonight. #

  • Morning. Apartment is full of light through venetian blinds. @maymaym & I look like zebras and cats. Last night's booze cedes now to coffee. #
  • Left apt for walk @ 1:30 pm. Returned @ 10:00 pm. Ate bagels, fried clams, smarties & walked. So much. Now, home, safe, happy, exhausted. #

  • After spectacular smart night with @jamesbcarp,@sarahdopp, @maymaym, we awake to a pile of dishes and a trip to Ikea. Next stop, furniture! #
  • Went to bed with hair slightly wet, awoke with perfectly styled faux-hawk. Unsure what the universe is telling me. I need ill-fitting jeans? #
  • @dandelionjar Rock On! Will you be getting a tan, or just Science? in reply to dandelionjar #

Twitter Weekly Updates for 2009-07-19

  • @bewareleopard I have not, but I will check it out. That does sound like a delicious picture! Also HI! #
  • Off to meet with realtors and perhaps find out where I'll be living come next week. Wish me luck! #
  • RT @maymaym British N.H.S. suggests !youth have "an #orgasm a day" to be healthy & gets slammed by !sex fear-mongers: http://tr.im/sd1Q #
  • Much needed lazy day. Hoping to get a few things done on the internet, but mainly lounging in boxers from @maymaym (they have coffee mugs!) #
  • Just signed a lease! Garret 1bdrm close to my old place, w/ pking, clawfoot tub, gas stove, little window over sink w/ view of downtown pvd. #
  • @astralknowledge OH MY GOD maxgladstone.com! Why did I not KNOW about that? Will now lose endless hours in your lovely ramblings. in reply to astralknowledge #
  • Am landed safe in SF. Radio silence of travel extends to relative silence of time with @maymaym. I look up; here he is! Why look elsewhere? #
  • Today: laundered, watched @maymaym fight w/ finances & win, found groceries, wandered. SF=½ vacation, ½ domesticity. No surprise, really. #

Twitter Weekly Updates for 2009-07-12

  • Home in Ann Arbor this week, spending time with my post-operative mother, the outdoors and the internet. SFO in T-10 days and counting. Joy! #
  • Rereading journals of drawing & poetry from when I was 12-13. It's a harrowing, necessary, experience. I loved hard, had mood swings, raved. #
  • Made beef carpaccio, tabbouleh, berries (blue, rasp, red currants) w/ creme freche. Red wine & coffee. Now to shower & retire from Mom-care. #
  • Today: errands, haircut, get health-insurance info, whip practice, finish iTunes organization, shower in sun, futz with iCal (check!). #
  • With new haircut, I believe I am officially a Lesbian Impersonator. That's ok, though, my boy owns more skirts than I do, so it evens out. #
  • Redsox defeated Oakland A's, this night.. I find that liking the Sox is genetic for me, in the same way hating Paul Eckman is. Thanks, Mom. #
  • Today, Gyno appointment and STI screening. And showering in the sun. #
  • Joined friend of family on walk; he likes brisk walking in 80+ heat, wearing a straw hat & smoking a pipe. Survived smoke-free. Sunshowered. #
  • @maymaym This time, you, psychology, retirement, transexuals, me, life. He's a pretty amazing guy. Next time I'll ask him about pipesmoking. #
  • @maymaym Oh, Wonderboy. At this point next week I'll have been off the plan for a half hour, but will probably just be keeping you one edge. in reply to maymaym #
  • Back to Providence today, & then to BOSTON for NELA FFF. And then BACK to PVD to get an apartment? With internet & such? That would be good. #
  • @damsorrow Short answer is Yes, we're heading out soon. I'm heading to one apartment, @zacmakes to another. We'll miss it, but it's time. in reply to damsorrow #
  • Off to Boston for MtG, friends, catching up. Tomorrow, NELA FFF, perhaps a new whip? More friends. In the mean time, of course, SMS. #
  • @maymaym What were you daydreaming about, Wonderboy? in reply to maymaym #
  • Good at love, bad at sleep. Will beat the time-zone beasties in the end. #
  • Possibly Lovecraftian board games instead of FFF? In the New Reality, @helio_girl does What She Wants, even if it's Not What She Planned. #
  • Failed to defeat the monsters, grabbed coffee. Now friends @ a concert, I sit in their house, watch Dr. Who, wait to meet FFF folks and eat. #
  • Crying as I drive seems to have become a habit. My insides are bruised and mushy. I must find time to mourn. There is no comfort left me. #

  • Salad w/ chicken & avocado followed by potato chips and dulce de leche icecream. It evens out, yeah? #

Twitter Weekly Updates for 2009-06-14

  • Enjoying the lovely day and lack of schedule, but I know that unless I make plans firm, the ease will turn to drifting & strife. So, I plan. #
  • Moon over brooklyn inverts the clouds, hides and peeks, lights the sky-rooftops are flight. #
  • J. Edgar Hoover notes, the FBI can’t interfere with “oral-genital intimacy, unless it has in some way obstructed interstate commerce.” Good. #
