H-Bird’s Weekly Twitter-Spatter

Idle chatter, much as ever.

• I went to three meetings on two campuses this morning. They see me rollin', they hatin', etc. (not really). #
• Have reduced 29 urgent messages in my work inbox to a manageable eight. I am the queen of the well-tempered reply. #
• I didn't celebrate Wgtn Anniversary and I am not celebrating Australia Day. @snapper86 & I need to start some sort of protest holiday club. #
• Persuaded harvestdad to take me out for Korean hotpot, his first Korean meal. ChurchCorner is a low-rise gastronomic wonderland & cheap too #
• This submission may not do the trick, but by golly it will be free of comma splices and sentence fragments. #editorialfervour #
• Someone mentioned monkeys in a work email, which sent me in search of this clip from early Mighty Boosh: http://bit.ly/8Filng #
• Today I saw a long top over leggings, masquerading as a dress over leggings, worn in a context that surprised me. #notpants #
• It occurred to me this morning that I am using all the skills I gained in my undergraduate degree in my union work. Take that, BA-deriders! #
• I'm off to facilitate meetings for the afternoon. In my absence, feel free to ask me a question: http://bit.ly/7sRZoE #
• Am going to have to close the doors on account of the dogs having twilight maddies; the bad barking kind, not the good running around kind. #
• Arthur saw an empty cement bag in the driveway and now no-one except Fern can be consoled about this inanimate invasion of territory. #
• Dogs back at usual levels of adorability while I work at home this afternoon. The hell hounds whom I crated last night have vanished. #
• I have been thinking about The Donnas, and how they were at the forefront of the adult-women-who-enjoy-unicorns… ♫ http://blip.fm/~jwe3t #
• http://twitpic.com/103qg2 – Undoubtedly spurious but made me laugh. Denominational smackdown! #
• Long legal letter ends with a typo — "wit" for "with" — and suddenly the whole issue is gangster! (Summary: hate the game, not the playa) #
• Will those of us who still giggle at the name Wii (despite its pivotal role in How We Met Our Husband) ever assimilate iPad nomenclature? #
• http://twitpic.com/103wak – The dogs keep a silent vigil while @knedd clears up some spilled food in the kitchen. #
• The pathos — or is it the beauty? — of Mozart when you are a dog: http://bit.ly/bA90tO #
• I am for all intents and purposes a Mass Effect 2 widow today, although the @knedd still responds when I speak, so it's not too bad. #
• I'm impressed by a game in which there is a credible female avatar with a soldier's, rather than a porn star's, physique. #masseffect2 #
• People who complain about tweeting about housecleaning do not know the schadenfreude of having finally got that sh*t sorted. #
• Haloscan is shutting down. I haven't used their comments system for years but it made enabling commenting on diaryland diaries possible. #
• Fern the Norwich Terrier might regard with interest the globosity of the lynx spider at @TheAtavism: http://bit.ly/965GjS #
• This story made me feel by turns hopeful and fearful: http://bit.ly/9iiiwh. #
• The sliding scale of constructive criticism (via @knedd): http://bit.ly/bilM96 #
• Project Undercoat continues apace in the spare room, thanks to the evolving brush & roller-wielding skills of @knedd. #
