Report that I thought was due today is not due for another 90 days. Any guesses as to how much of it I already had completed?
Gettin’ a haircut. Any recommendations that won’t get me fired, divorced or enlisted?
Debating on whether to get the iPhone 3Gs. I’m eligible for upgrade, but someone’s birthday is coming…
Great, time to write a last minute press-release. No time for lunch!
45 Creative Business Card Designs. If someone could help give me some style, I’d totally own some of these: http://is.gd/1UWXT
Wrapped up press release and waiting for return call from Senator (who probably won’t call till Monday—slacker). Then it’s vacation Friday!

Just watched Frost Nixon and I think my excitement for the film is an indicator of my terminal nerdiness. LOVED IT! http://is.gd/1TR5D
I just realized that I’ve been emailing a total stranger for perhaps a year now, whose email address is very close to my wife’s. #awkward
I just heard someone sell a state job as having the benefit of “3 days off per month!” That’s serious spin.
Just got my Google Voice account! Pretty cool. I wish I could use it on my iPhone but AT&T and Apple are blocking the apps… #sadcustomer
Congratulations to @jsarguelles @Britni26 on their new baby! She put up a 17 hour fight but joined us at 5:30 (just in time for happy hour)!
Coffee-tapped; water-gone; snacks-removed. My viability in this symposium is waning. Prospects for maintained consciousness are low to none.
Just looking at this photo is like spending the last 6 hours with me, without all that messy research and despair. http://twitpic.com/buty2
I love it. RT @loganenator: This guy’s tiny living style (via @pavati) - http://bit.ly/Z6wy5

Here’s to people not lighting my house on fire tonight. Fingers crossed.
Awesome weekend in Tahoe with good friends. Now I get to watch the stage on Mt. Ventoux! Shh, no spoilers! [fingers in ears] LA-LA-LA-LA-LA.
Found a pile of yard waste on fire next to our fence just now. Put it out and SFD came by for arson “investigation” which lasted 15 seconds.
Are we at Mont Ventoux yet? Can-not-wait! Fingers crossed that my Tahoe traveling buddies are as geeked out over le Tour as I am.
My plans for coffee have been thwarted by @jennbc’s return for lunch. Fear not body, you will be caffeinated before the day is out.

Coffee! Coffee NOW! Then le Tour and lunch.
OMFG. This is the best internet scam turnaround ever. Long read, but well worth it. I’m worried about Jeff though… http://is.gd/1KPrf

If you haven’t watched Dr. Horrible’s Singalong Blog (again) in 2009, you’ve wasted the last 204 days. #bestmusicalevar http://is.gd/1KPOP
Just saw Cavendish’s uphill sprint finish. Impressive, but I’m holding my breath for Stage 20.
Just heard back from Doc “If the endocrinologist doesn’t think failing kidneys are urgent, there’s nothing we can do.” Seriously?!? #effthat
Everyone should thank @KQED_CapNotes, @kyamamura, @ShaneGoldmacher and @mrothfeld for their #cabudget reporting endurance! Bang up job!
You’d be surprised at the looks I get when at checkout and my only groceries are a bottle of Triple Sec and a box of diabetes test trips.
This is hardly an M&M though its presence in a Planters trail mix featuring M&Ms would indicate otherwise. http://twitpic.com/bdlyr
On budget standoffs, debates, votes - RT @KQED_CapNotes: Feels like cocktail party. Minus the drinks. And the fun. #cabudget
I’m still working on finding the words… RT @thinklynsen: Best wedding processional ever: http://bit.ly/11zVwu
Secret truth: after a few years away from the bicycle, an easy 17mi ride feels like getting hit in the a$$ with a cricket bat. #saddletime
Wait, team RadioShack? I don’t know if I’m ready for that… http://is.gd/1JcAD
Going climbing.
I just verified that @jennbc does, in fact know the Girl Scout pledge by heart. Weird.
Gonna have a contractor over tonight for an estimate to remodel our kitchen. It’s gonna be a long and costly summer…
I was a risk taker in younger years. Now, I take my life in my own hands 4 times a day when I test my math and biochem skills. #diabetes
Just found out the straight-laced neighbor’s 10wk old puppy found somebody’s dope stash at their friends’ house. Poor pup came home stoned!
Know a Denverite looking for a place to rent? Our condo is open beginning Sept 1st. I’ll pay $100 to the person who finds our next renters!
Incidentally, I get worse at math as the day goes on.
Just drove to the Apple store and found this. I can only hope they are beating bad hipster sales people in there. http://twitpic.com/b1j4h
Tired of non-cyclists writing stories about #TdF. I keep my nose out of golf for a reason: I don’t know it. Sports beat journos, study up!
Road my fixie for first time in a few years. A little embarrassing, now all the kids are doing it. I started 9 years ago when it was rare.
I’m thinking of adding “lifecoach” to my skills. Also, I’m going to patent the process of encouragingly shaking the crap out of people.
Finally! RT @Schwarzenegger: http://twitpic.com/b2ffy - Just announced budget deal with legislative leaders. Vote later this week.
If diabetes were a person today, it’d be the obsessive compulsive, self-destructive, annoying aunt that I wish didn’t know where I live.
Someone left a cucumber on my car in my driveway this morning. Is that some kind of threat? Maybe vegetarians are tired of my meat jokes?
Well played: RT @nuclearbastard: @robert1er Robert Coombs sleeps with the salads
