| 08:18 | @VictoriaDahl I've read (okay, listened to) both books, and I still found those trailers disturbing. What does that say about me? Or you? |
| 08:20 | @wilw Just realized? You mean all it took was a series of tweets from your much better half? |
| 18:54 | Via @ebertchicago, a wonderful piece on quote whores. It's a movie critic thing. http://t.co/2ySEII9n |

| 09:54 | Is @Delta really an advertiser on Rush's bilgefest? Good to know their suckage is more than aviation-related. |

| 07:55 | @alwayscoffee Winchester House is right down the road from me. Been by it hundreds of times, inside only once. More peculiar than creepy. |
| 08:01 | Compassionate conservatism, now with 43% less compassion. Is Mitt really the best the GOP can do? http://t.co/kvpwdOSr |
| 08:06 | @alwayscoffee I took some a few years ago. Should really go back, preferably when the skies are a little less gray. |
| 08:09 | @alwayscoffee Never could resist a good pair of puppy dog eyes... |
| 08:45 | @VictoriaDahl "I need a drink." That'll only make the need to pee worse. Cause & effect, dontcha know. |
| 08:53 | @VictoriaDahl There's your problem: too much imagination! Good for writers. Bad for moms. |
| 13:45 | @alwayscoffee Since you asked... http://t.co/OTxUTICY |
| 14:40 | Really? A @geekandsundry show starring @paulandstorm? And it's not even my birthday! |
| 20:16 | @KaleyCuoco @billprady I started with 2 wisdom teeth; now I have one. Thinking wisdom's grossly overrated. And I got good drugs out of it. |
| 21:14 | You can't make this stuff up, nor should you: "Vicar hospitalised with potato up his bum." http://t.co/CxdqDXts |

| 12:16 | The longest of long exposures. Amazing. http://t.co/jliM5d9O via @zivity |
| 18:08 | Post-apology, Mike Daisey is still a lying, repulsive sack of fecal matter. http://t.co/xCAtdB3P |

| 11:32 | @VictoriaDahl Does this mean you don't believe things were better on the plantation before that nasty Mr. Lincoln interfered? |

| 09:37 | RT @IsobelCarr: Saying that wearing a hoodie invites violence is the same as saying wearing a mini skirt invites rape. #Bullshit [Exactly.] |

| 13:02 | @alwayscoffee Look on the bright side, Ali. It makes us easier to identify racist assholes like the idiots at A&F who came up with this. |
| 13:04 | @alwayscoffee PUT DOWN THE KITTEN AND STEP AWAY! |
| 14:15 | RT @AdrianChen: No, Abercrombie & Fitch is not selling racist pants. http://t.co/ulzy6nb7 [I'm relieved, and embarrassed I believed it.] |

| 11:29 | Piece by @gruber explains my contempt for Mike Daisey. He made me angry at Apple, when they're doing the right things. http://t.co/7xSEj2vB |
| 12:05 | @billamend I'm with your son. Tried to read Catcher in the Rye a couple of years ago. Decided life's too short for that kind of torture. |
| 12:06 | RT @billamend: If only Salinger had given Holden Caulfield a pet dire wolf... [If only the wolf had eaten Holden Caulfield...] |

| 17:30 | Got a call out of the blue from a networking company about a job opening. With what I know and what I can fake, could be interesting. |

| 06:31 | Reading @Molly23's tweets, I can only conclude that it's possible to find someone adorable and disturbing at one and the same time. |
| 06:44 | @alwayscoffee Look back about 8 hours in @Molly23's Twitter stream and you'll understand my appreciation/concern. |
| 06:45 | @alwayscoffee Also, you're way too far to the adorable side of the adorable/disturbing continuum. And so was she, until now. |
| 06:47 | Santorum is consistent in his positions, if by that we mean consistently offensive to non-prigs. http://t.co/3r0uyV9K |
| 06:51 | @alwayscoffee Not wrong at all. Even better if you've met @Molly23. http://t.co/OQKBXvzV |
| 07:16 | @alwayscoffee Speaking of adorable & disturbing, here's my first exposure to @Molly23: http://t.co/8fpMMHvq |
| 09:44 | RT @VictoriaDahl: From your nationwide bestselling blockbuster hit Fifty Shades of Grey! http://t.co/1NBvxFDz [I will *never* unhear that.] |

| 08:47 | Spent yesterday at a http://t.co/VrbKvX9f event in SF, an opportunity to catch up with a couple of friends from my DataSynapse days. |
| 10:37 | This American Life reveals Mike Daisey's Apple/Foxconn story was full of lies. Can't wait to hear their explanation. http://t.co/n9BF0d8l |
| 10:57 | Mike Daisey on his Apple/Foxconn show (my interpretation): What I do is art. It doesn't have to be accurate to be true. http://t.co/7ITs0jNx |
| 11:17 | @BuzzFeed How can Mike Daisey's point and his cause re Apple/Foxconn not be questionable when he has to make shit up to justify them? |
| 11:33 | They're tearing San Francisco's Metreon apart. Wonder if it'll ever be anything other than a retailing fail. |
| 12:02 | Am I the only one who wishes Apple would sue Mike Daisey for slander? They won't, but I'd like to see the lying liar get his. |
| 12:17 | We're constantly being told by @WaitWait Don't Tell Me, whether we wait (wait) or not. #NPRconfessions |
| 12:45 | Wassamatta, WI? Afraid to have someone support a woman's abortion decision as doctor tries to bully her out of it? http://t.co/1FA90Qoo |
| 13:35 | @VictoriaDahl Wait, there's such a thing as vaginal sex? |
| 16:20 | A month after my interviews, potential employer came back with an answer. Sadly, not the one I wanted. *sigh* |
| 16:21 | Thought my car stereo was dying, as right channel went away. Turned out to be a bad cable to my iPhone. Nothing better than a cheap fix. |
| 16:22 | @BonesMcCoy Red Shirt Memorial Fund. Better yet, blue sweaters for red shirts. |
| 16:23 | @alwayscoffee Thanks, Ali. At least I can stop wondering. |
| 17:04 | @wilw More #RadioFreeBurrito? Yes, definitely! |
| 17:22 | Good grief! Houston paper imagines other comic strips following Doonesberry in taking on the Texas Sonogram Bill. http://t.co/YRqNxqzh |

| 07:38 | @altonbrown Perfect food show? Funny, informative, inspiring, makes me drool (but in a good way). All of which describes #GoodEats |
| 09:53 | @barryeisler "Get this shit out of their system"? Was that a Santorum joke? |
| 09:55 | Happy π Day, everyone! What kind of π will you be having? I'm thinking Boston Cream. |
| 10:23 | My parents had a set of Britannicas, & dozens of their yearly update volumes. Looked beautiful on their shelves, where they sat unread. |
| 10:40 | RT @pourmecoffee: Honoring Pi Day by being irrational. [Why is this night different than all other nights?] |
| 11:38 | I want to bite their little heads off. http://t.co/oNlrRUxV |
| 12:55 | @barryeisler Dan Savage did one heck of a job. Hard to think of Santorum without thinking of santorum. |
| 14:02 | Rick Santorum wants to outlaw porn and get Puerto Ricans to speak English, dammit! (I added the dammit.) Please make this guy the nominee. |
| 15:54 | Embarrassed I didn't notice my monthly Planned Parenthood donation stopped when my credit card # changed. It's back, so screw you, Mitt. |

| 10:14 | It needs to be said again and again: Free Speech does not mean free of consequences. That's where the speaker's freedom runs into ours. |
| 10:16 | @alwayscoffee @VictoriaDahl Might be sweet, Ali? Might be? Don't make me laugh. (On second thought, do.) |

| 10:05 | Just put my @netflix account on hold. It's called voting with my dollars. #boycottrush |
| 10:12 | @IsobelCarr War with Iran will be self-funding from the oil we take. Isn't that how the Iraq war worked out? |
| 12:07 | That was quick. Netflix clarified their stance on Rush. They didn't mean to advertise there and will be sure they don't again. Hold unheld. |
| 12:14 | @pemalevy Looks like @Netflix ad was a mistake, a local ad buy. They didn't intend to be an advertiser. http://t.co/8jO00Udb |
| 14:55 | Does Patricia Heaton lose roles because of her political views, or because she doesn't know when to STFU? http://t.co/Xfc75oPe |
| 19:44 | RT @joshtpm: Ohio def tightening in Mitts favor. http://t.co/s2ZpGiya [That doesn't sound sexual at all.] |
| 20:54 | @ebertchicago To be precise, it was an accident @netflix advertised on Rush's show in 1st place. A local ad buy they won't let happen again. |

| 10:39 | Sorry, Carbonite CEO, but that's not remotely good enough. http://t.co/hgXlZW0O |
