Gah! I left my car radio on while working on the yard and now the battery is dead! Anyone have jumper cables I can borrow tomorrow?

Is there any discount you get at age 30? New rights? Able to run for office? Somebody tell me what I get out of being another yr older?

Listening to hundreds of bills in Assembly Appropriations committee. Surprisingly, >7 of my two dozen bills will live to see another day!

While my relationship is still thoroughly intact, somehow the CA Supreme Court made my marriage feel a little less meaningful today. Thanks.

Hanging at Cafe Trieste waiting for sound check for @jennbc’s show with @the_hits at Maggie McGarry’s.

Just read a great tagline for Petosa Accordians: “Quality is remembered long after price is forgotten.”

Congratulations to @rowdykittens for winning the #burritocontest with her guess of 50k emails. She was off by 14% but came close enough.

Are you kidding me?!?! Gmail Migration goes down 2 minutes before I launch?!?! Curse you!
May 23rd
Email migration 28% completed. Guess how many messages I have to transfer. I’ll buy a Chipotle burrito for the person who comes closest.

Hint: I’ve been working here since May ‘05, and I’m not including spam or the 96,000+ emails I deleted earlier this year. #BurritoContest

Doing a test migration from Exchange to Gmail. Cross your fingers. Unrelated: I may never answer previously received emails. Sorry to you.

Good morning. If you would be so kind as to put me out of my misery it would be greatly appreciated. I’ll be the sucker at the airport.

BBQ nixed because CDC has me in the middle of nowhere. Walked to Greek restaurant only to find it doesn’t open for 3 weeks. Probably lucky.
May 19th
In Atlanta for 72 hours. I’m gonna eat BBQ, but I’ll have to deny it tomorrow when I’m with the healthy folks at the CDC.

Listening to a story on NPR about how folks pick passwords. Wondering how many picoseconds will pass until the interviewees get hacked. #NPR

12 min layover in Denver. Was good to be home. At least until a strange man pressed a trouser bulge into my shoulder while finding his seat.

You have got to be s**tting me. Lady next to me is bragging about having met Oliver North at NRA meeting in AZ this weekend. Lucky me.

2nd time in 3 days I’ve been in TSA line stretching past baggage claim and nearly to another terminal. Poor staff planning. Lucky I’m early.

I’m currently in the most awkward conference session of all time. Ask me over a beer and I’ll tell you about Abel and “organicity.”

I am beginning to think the mere presence of 7AM in life is directly linked to cases of hallucination, antisocial behavior and pouting.

Dammit! I forgot to bring extra can of test strips and pharmacy is going to charge me $100. Nobody to blame but myself, which is new to me.

Hey @MarriottIntl $12/day for wired net, no wifi in room? WTF? This is worse than the $6 water charge. I thought Comcast was screwing me…
May 13th
In LA at the conference where they thank me profusely for making fun of them (and teaching PR). Seriously folks, ‘I’ll be here all week.’

There can only be a few suspects: RT @sniffyjenkins The tweet is coming from INSIDE the meeting.

Tonight is @The_Hits show at Strikes in Rocklin! All the cool kids will be there including a sick lil’ @jennbc.

If being a cliff diver at Casa Bonita doesn’t get you to move to Denver, I don’t know what will. Best-job-ever: http://is.gd/xwbp

Sometimes when I shoot up (insulin folks) the needle hurts. So I take it out and try again. Yup, still hurts and now I have two ouchies. Grr

Travel agent I’m talking to is awesome. I ask for a 9AM departure, I get 6AM. By awesome, I mean an imbecile (who may be trying to kill me).

RT @vartabedianr: “There are really only four ethical arguments: repugnance, commodification, surrogacy, and eggs.”

I haven’t had voicemail for 2+ weeks. AT&T just nuked all unheard messages (nearly 40) so if you think I’m ignoring you, I’m not. Or am I?

#followfriday These two are killing me! No, literally, they are (mildly) deadly. @the_bird_flu @the_swine_flu
