  • Auckland tweeps, by all means go and see this http://t.co/A22SHXrW in which my BIL @DanCress is performing. #
  • Can’t you see me standing here? I’ve got my back against the record machine. I ain’t the worst that you’ve seen. http://t.co/lLy7MZ0u #
  • Jackie and Rosie are two! http://t.co/q8FElPpY #
  • “We sabotaged you, you dickheads”. I am so happy about this. http://t.co/CaHelBsZ #
  • Something (or someone) is wrecking my word recognition. At first glance I thought this was called “Composting Paris” http://t.co/8B4Y59yE #
  • Going to a lunch-hour meeting off campus that will likely not involve eating lunch. Already in a bit of a panic #eatallthethings #25weeks #
  • My colleagues are very understanding. At last week’s grading meeting, several of them moved the biscuits in my direction without a word. #
  • “Craving” is an inadequate word for what is a daily demand for a steady stream of simple & complex carbs between 11am and 3pm. #
  • If past experience teaches me anything it’s to enjoy it while it lasts: expecting permanent loss of appetite in about five weeks time. #
  • @ehjc What is wrong with people! Being a poet shouldn’t be worse than dating around … in reply to ehjc #
  • @CherylBernstein @MoataTamaira My paternal Irish ancestors were mostly Protestant & passed here as Scots (although it was an open secret). in reply to CherylBernstein #
  • A colleague has lent me a bag of maternity clothes. The contents are so pretty I may have to wear makeup to be flash enough to wear ‘em. #
  • I am selecting scholarly articles on Die Hard for the next few weeks’ course readings. Feel free to envy me my work. #exceptionalthief #
  • @annettle Hush, mother. I have enemies to stab. in reply to annettle #
  • @annettle If Yo Gabba Gabba ever does a sequel to Don’t Bite Your Friends, it could be Don’t Skewer Your Parents. in reply to annettle #
  • @gtiso Tiso: now in multimedia! in reply to gtiso #
  • @dimsie Distract yourself with my indifferent scholarship http://t.co/JrPHZmak in reply to dimsie #
  • @gtiso I believe Donizetti wrote at least one opera with that title. in reply to gtiso #

In the course of the weekend I have converted into some sort of sea lion(ess). Heigh ho for 3 more months of lolling and barking. #24wks # Thank you @hungrymama , @dimsie & @johubris for the weekend’s wishes. I think I may be feeling my age. # @juliefairey I no longer bend at the hips [...]

I am taking the high road & not tweeting much due to obsession with watching the toddling toddler toddle. Also work, life, blah blah blah. # I have also been using InstaPaper to store & d/l all kinds of long-form for evening reading, thus sparing @knedd narratives about my day. # @johubris @ehjc Will you [...]

@adzebill A better animated representation of a fetus would involve some kind of mixed martial arts, in my experience. in reply to adzebill # @adzebill It is mostly knees & elbows, so while I would tentatively say a Beat It-style dance fight, it could also be a cartoon leprechaun. in reply to adzebill # These [...]
