Getting stuff done but how am I going to usefully fill 12 hour days?? I miss supervisors and deadlines. Self-motivation is not my forte.

Acquired some mp3 captures of the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy LPs and cassettes that were sort of re-creations of the radio shows. YAY!

An audio slumber party night might be in order. Have all the HHGTTG radio shows but haven’t heard the cassettes in years and the LPs never.

"I don’t want to die now – I still have a headache! I don’t want to go to Heaven with a headache – I’d be all cross and wouldn’t enjoy it!"

The plumber finally came today! He’s up there fixing and servicing the bleeping swamp cooler.

a Video Tour of the Coffee Bar has finally been posted 🙂 http://youtu.be/_4p5aQhgHSM

A PS3 game Terra has wanted for quite awhile (Bayonetta) is on special at Kmart the next few days for half price – one last Bday present 🙂

The Sony UpdateStation 3 😛 http://flic.kr/p/7YBMD4

SMS delivery from Twitter has been REALLY bad lately! Most tweets that hit my phone were posted sometimes an hour or more earlier.

(For example, @don_rivers‘ replies to me say posted "about 1 hour ago" on the site but still haven’t hit my phone via text.)

just now got @don_rivers‘ replies. btw, so far as I have noticed, MY tweets posted via sms work perfectly/instantly.

Amen! RT @Jaeckle: I’m all for raising up great leaders, but I’d like there to be some really great followers for those leaders too.

Cooking special dinner for the end of Terra’s 4-day bday weekend while she plays Bayonetta in the living room. Tomorrow starts 12-hour days.

Just noticed the new Twitter-to-Facebook app i’ve been forced into seems to be refusing @ replies and re-tweets unless I get clever.

.RT .@ABQChristopher: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TERRA!! My white mage, my partner, my cellmate – my bestest friend and only getting bestester 🙂

It just occurred to me that I think I’m right around my 2 year anniversary on twitter. Not even sure there’s a way to check that anymore.

So, the oldest tweet of mine that Twitter currently has archived is on july 16, 08. That’s why I now have my own site keep my archive.

I joined twitter on 9 May 2008 – http://whendidyoujointwitter.com ? .#wdyjt

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, @NURSETERRA!! My white mage, my partner, my cellmate – my bestest friend and only getting bestester 🙂 I LOOOOVE YOOOOUUU!

Ooers? RT @PlayStation: Introducing the new PlayStation Protection Plan, an extended service plan for your PS3 & PSP: http://bit.ly/bgrmVq

Shaved my beard off for summer. I hate it, as I always do at first. Not hot enough yet but sunny – it’d be a huge white spot later.

Sigh. Shaving off a beard means losing five years but gaining ten pounds.

At Denny’s for Terra’s birthday breakfast dinner. Gonna’ have a special birthday edition of slumber party tonight 🙂

@don_rivers How ’bout that – I just set up Terra with a standing desk type thing with her laptop in her room. Remote view much? 😛

So glad we have a self-cleaning oven. RT @NurseTerra: A kitchen and house filled with smoke is the exact reason I’m not allowed to cook 😛

Put together a big pile of DUSTY games, movies for trade-in. Hate paying cash for new ones when we have so many we "couldn’t live without"!

All Game Crazy Stores to Begin Liquidation in Two Weeks – Kotaku http://bit.ly/9rwVG8

Wal-Mart has CloseEncountersOfTheThirdKind Blu-ray for $15! I own it – all 3 versions and the aud&vid are nearly perfect. Run, don’t walk.

So, the idiots sheduled her to start working 12s THIS WEEKEND! Her work week will end on Monday after 7 straight days, nearly 70 hours!

And this is Terra’s birthday weekend, too. And THEN she is on four 12s a week. Unbelievable. That place is so screwed up.

Just figured out that because I always have a tab open to Fcebook it always shows me online though I am in front of the computer very little

And, btw, I am one of those always-has-fifty-tabs-open people and maybe actually click that tab like once a week at most.

I have a barely controllable urge to smash crockery.

Oops. Wesley’s PSP is full! I added a bunch of Super Why! – a PBS show that is really quickly teaching him beginning reading stuff.

Wesley and his PSP http://flic.kr/p/7XvWf8

Housework, listening to C.S. Lewis. Got some audio of his stuff I’ve never read/heard before.

@don_rivers Yeah, I don’t know of a way to properly steam milk without an actual steam wand. Never heard anything good about other methods.

A "cappuccino" from a local cafe http://flic.kr/p/7XgE4K

@don_rivers That’s what I love to hear 🙂

EX ALERT!!! (at Wal-Mart)

Yeah, it’s been really, unusually bad outside. RT @PNMtalk: We’re working 200 separate outages in #NM. #NMSTORM #WINDAGEDDON

Baking coffee cake in coffee cups and making cappuccinos in (mostly) matching cups. If it comes out good, maybe i’ll post a pic.

The Intelligentsia Black Cat Classic Espresso Blend should be at its prime today and the next couple days 🙂 running very low, though 🙁

meh, could have been better, but, here it is… Cappuccinos and coffee cake, baked in capp cups http://flic.kr/p/7X3Z79

.@1prdpgn it occurred to me that we both had names that not only identified our faith but our passion for it – PROUD Pagan, Jesus FREAK.

But I have no regret – I want to change all my online accounts to my actual name. Seems I become more against online anonymity everyday.

On ReadItLaterList.com, I actually joined early enough that my username is just Christopher. I think that’s the only one, though.

Must be nice to have a short name like Don Rivers or Greg Fultz. Christopher Cornelius is lotsa’ letters. (And I’ve come to despise "Chris")

Terra is snarling because she hates Wednesdays http://flic.kr/p/7X5yfU

Sure enough, some choc syrup in bottom of a capp bowl, microwave a few seconds, pour in steam milk – works like latte art. Hadn’t tried it.

BLASPHEMY!! RT@streamingsoon: You can’t stream it yet but The Descent 2 is an awesome film. Much better than the first: http://bit.ly/9qwcxF

So glad only Wesley saw my Flashdance (What a Feeling) recreation. Gotta’ stop listening to these "hits from the movies" net radio stations.

ok, one more pic and that’s it, I promise 😛 first attempt, pouring hot chocolate like latte art http://flic.kr/p/7X77Tr
