Chillin at SBUX. Random easy listening reggae is playing. It’s never the good stuff.
whoops. 8(!) shows i watch air on monday. TVpocalypse.
just bought the TV Forecast iPhone app. I only mention this because 8

after a week of abstaining, finally got some blogging done. i think my niche is ‘little guy ranting about stuff he thinks should be obv.’
may have stumbled upon the perfect shaving regiment for me. trial and error wins again.
i feel lucky that my aunt has taken it upon herself to look out for me, and alert me to opportunities. family is something to cherish, ppl.
January 2009
playing with daytum: the sweetest non-personal email always includes the words ‘private beta’.
if you are going to do something genuinely social, it is by nature exclusive. genuine attention, interaction, etc, all have hard limits.
Slept in, was woken up by @ganglygolightly asking when I’d arrive to help her move. Clearly, I ended up being late with the van.
Out celebrating guy’s birthday. Good times.
Heading home. Empty house.
spent one day with twitter set to ‘follow all @replies’. never again. distracting, confusing, and the volume blindsided me.
going to pick up singha, then meeting up with ppl for Guy’s bday. rad.
another day that was very productive, but this time with only small spurts of stress. progress!
building too much of a backlog of social media stuff. do i cut back to make sure i stay on top, or just accept that i will miss things?
lunch! with @canice! again!
dear twitter, i dream of a day when spam accounts stop following me. inflated ‘followers’ number makes me feel fraudulent.
getting excited, apparently a major update to my fave iphone game (fieldrunners) is on the way.
the best feeling in the world is when you’re just doing your job, and it feels like you’re doing a magic trick. i love detailed planning.
easing into the day, burning DVDs. then strategy panic, alert panic, calm cleansing breaths, lunch, delegation panic, execution panic, etc.
Woke up late, downtown early. Wizard needs coffee badly.
Watching @kevinrose and @garyvee on the Ustream iPhone app. Really impressive, great to use. Also, the streamed convo is really interesting.
Realizing I need to update my old “paparazzi panopticon” post with ideas re: twitter and the recent Osgoode station shooting.
i lied, only made it to 1975 tweets today. just too busy, couldn’t properly dedicate myself to tweeting about twitter.
“FLYING VEE!”
FRINGE - rapidly becoming a clone of the x-files, as i get more and more likely to quote lines from the Mighty Ducks in my head.
i’ve noticed watching ‘lie to me’ makes me want to be batman. then again, pretty much anything makes me want to be batman.
Had a great realisation over dinner. I assume it’s rare to have this level of engaging discourse with your parents.
Dinner with my parents. Then, massive strategy session. Taking a step back and getting outside of my comfort zone.
reading about twitter in the jan 22 eye weekly. is it weird that i like the ‘noise’ tweets more, because they display personality?
Recently departed co-worker is back for an afternoon. Good to see him.
is it sad that i more or less committed myself to 40+ tweets today, and that didn’t seem at all unlikely to me?
i am going to pass 2000 tweets today. i am also going to forget this, and ignore the actual milestone.
started writing a post, stopped because i had to go to work. got to work, clicked a link on twitter, and same idea is already done, better.
(yes, the issue is more complex than that, but on the other hand, york has set the record for longest uni strike in canada. twice.)
york university: where they have to be forced to educate you via legal proceedings. oh, and you pay them, too. so there’s that.
Calmer today. Not as stressed or exhausted. We’ll see how that works out.

Well, at least this headache is well deserved.
before he died, my grandfather would forget me. this is just an excuse for why Something Postitive made me cry a little today.
give me 20 minutes listening to Pusha T and Malice makes sure i think before i talk. and also, give drug sales more thought than normal.
taking a look at united states of tara. really, really interesting.
‘every time an angry woman storms out, another angry woman storms in.’ - scrubs sounding like house. delightful.
‘what IS elmo? a seal?’ - scrubs is killer.
