Someone just dropped their suitcase on my face while boarding the plane. My glasses flew two rows and my ears are ringing. Just “whoops”?!??
Driver just said I’m the coolest person he’s had in the car. Invited me out for drinks. Flattering since he said he drove Bono last week. 😁

Emptied trash on the puter (after a week of nothing in particular) and freed 30Gb. Now I’m worried…nothing that big shoulda been in there.
I’m starting to think that the scooter was the wrong choice of transportation on a day where the doc is going to dilate my pupils. LOOK OUT!
RT @Lesley3fold: Great lunch meeting today with @AvereGroup and @Robert1er. Now, time to catch up from being out last Friday!
I’m unsupervised tonight. @jennbc is in SF watching a Canadian fella named Bryan Adams. Not sure what to do with this rare free-time.
Anyone like arugala? I’ve got enough to choke a horse and it’s leaving my garden today. Seriously, salad for your whole family.
If you’re lucky enough to be in Sacramento right now then you know it’s officially scooter season!

Sweet deal on Coombs vacation. Anyone else?: 2 nights in coastal redwoods cottages, breakfasts, wine etc. $193: http://bit.ly/eEo3lv
Tremendous Wisdom: RT @ericlaurits There may not be an un-suck filter, but 15 layer masks can come pretty damn close. http://bit.ly/dX11eX
Only 19 per customer. Who’s coming with me?: 50% off at Sushi Cafe or Hokkaido Noodle House http://t.co/310ZU34
I’ve got a roundtrip ticket reward on Southwest expiring Apr 11th and I can’t use it. Anyone in need of some last-minute-travel love?
I’m 95% certain the mouthwash I just swished with is in fact magic bubbles soap. Down from 98% certainty yesterday, so there’s that…
On the law of exclamation—Terry Pratchett: “five exclamation marks is an indicator of ‘someone who wears their underwear on the outside’.”
I am proud to know this fine American (savant). http://mattozan.tumblr.com/post/3859569302/happy-pi-day
With @jennbc out of town I’m unsupervised so Sugar and I cuddled up to watch “Inside Job.” Finance fascinates us. http://bit.ly/bI7Egp

I tweaked my knee yesterday while trying to outrun some angry dogs while on my bikeride with @rossdrum. Now I’m limping with no hero story.
I’m pretty sure this carpet belongs in my home. http://twitpic.com/j2uws
I’m not sure who’s winning this battle: me, trying to fix this old house or Sugar who’s trying to tear it down. http://twitpic.com/j4ebv
Imagine being in International news for losing a game of chess. Ouch. Kasparov beats Karpov in historic chess rematch http://bit.ly/jl4Mp
If I’m quiet on twitter for the next couple days it’s because I’m MMSing my brains out. If I’m not quiet it’s because, well I’m not. #iPhone
Oh no folks! The Coombs’s are bringing it tonight! Smoked mac n cauliflower n cheese followed by choc covered bacon http://twitpic.com/j4ug0
The Coombs’s duo of bacon didn’t win iron chef, but both dishes garnered the most discussion. Also, need more chocolate for our choco-pork.
It shouldn’t be so easy to blow someone’s mind but apparently printing to .pdf does it everytime (particularly for state employees).
Every once in a while someone calls to warn me about a s**t storm coming my way. I rarely know whether to thank them or curse them. #badnews
As a problem solver, I am astonished that the longstanding gap b/w number of wieners and buns took so long to work out. http://bit.ly/aFAj7
Just wrestled my inbox from 300+ down to 14. Totally not able to move on remaining 14 items. I’m worn out from all this efficiency.
It’s time for reasonable conscientious passengers to fight back! http://bit.ly/1jtybS
I think this calls for a caption contest. Submit your entries! http://bit.ly/3xXWR
It changed my life: The ultimate productivity blog (via @smbmcb and marco.org) http://productiveblog.tumblr.com
Just gave Sugar a bath. I’m pretty sure I can accomplish anything.
We got a brand new puffy bed for Sugar, but she fell off of it. Perhaps too much puff? http://twitpic.com/iwrov
These two will do this ALL NIGHT LONG if we let them. http://twitvid.com/7A1B5
A video explaining today’s NY Post hoax by the Yes Men. My favorite is the NY Post employee at 1:11. #fakenotfakestuff http://bit.ly/19tRuZ
I am inspired today. Not in that feel-good kinda way, but in that uproot-your-life-and-change-the-world-in-radical-fashion kinda way. #uhoh
I built a website as a favor for someone 11 months ago. They never called back to take the reigns. Now they are asking for access. #toolate
The Yes Men strike again! It’s like the Onion only truer. http://nypost-se.com/
Good judgment? Dangit! I’m on a fortune cookie losing streak. http://twitpic.com/i37xy
RT @TimothyRusso: JetBlue crew on flight 53 rocks!! They ran to find the cane of the lady next to me…..they found it in the ladies room!
Just had a co-worker threaten to kill me with cake. Diabetic assault sounds rather pleasant, doesn’t it? Note to self: learn self-defense.
Anyone out there use OSX Server? I’m flirting with the platform and would love to hear people’s experience.
Why, in 2009, is it so damned hard to get wifi in state office buildings?
I have a pair of jeans that think I’m 6’2”. Anyone have denim hemming skills? Willing to trade for dance lessons or money (take the $).
Great, this is the least of my strengths. The future is looking bleak… http://mobypicture.com/?ksvqny
Right?!?! http://twitpic.com/hvu0d
#floodsac @jennbc and I just got recruited into “The Sharks” which sounds more like a moped gang than a social justice flavored bible study.
Been fasting for the last 14 hrs with the exception of half a bottle of wine. Any guesses on whether or not that’s sufficient for bloodwork?
RT @jennbc Sugar is upsidedown and snoring loudly. http://yfrog.com/162crj
Apparently maintenance is checking a “loose fastener and possible fuel leak.” that, along with weather, means I’m getting home late tonight.
I’m supposed to be in Houston (according to my ticket) though I think we landed somewhere entirely different.
