H-Bird's Weekly Twitter-Spatter
A two-week grab-bag.



  • A morning doing union work goes faster than a morning doing teaching prep, but that could be because I'm not at my desk & lack distractions. #

  • After the buzz of the union offices, everything at Desk Central is very quiet and still. #

  • L[ol] @br3nda: http://bit.ly/6CXiD #womenintech #

  • Dear Megan: please go back in time to the cool, pollen-free air of winter. Love, your turbinates and sinuses. #

  • The living room door is open to the porch at 6:25pm! This is almost as exciting as spring blossom. #

  • "Play some god damn Billy Joel!" http://bit.ly/xqPfT #katebeaton #

  • I am wearing contacts as a pre-wedding trial run. First time in about 7 years. Oh how my face has aged. Part dad part grandma part nanna! #

  • What happened to my glorious bone structure? Now my visage is a cross between a potato and a pudding. #

  • As much as it cheers me to know there is a twitter feed called @sinuses, I won't be following back. #followthis #

  • Ta-Nehisi Coates lights up my internet with his writing: http://bit.ly/8kJ5e #

  • Sleep by no means comes too soon: http://bit.ly/ISMOP #

  • Another huge day at work but now I am listening to #ErykahBadu, who always makes me feel as if nothing can go wrong. #

  • TEU on staff-student relationships. (Short version: nothin to gain except killin your brain) http://bit.ly/2SIOvC #

  • Lady Gaga earworm, dangnabbit. @MeganWegan, I'm your papa-razzi, etc. #

  • In working on wedding vows last night, replaced phrase "one true love" with "true love" but am tempted to go with rasta-style "one love". #

  • The suggestion the bride and groom just rap a few verses of Outkast's Miss Jackson has also been made. ("Forever? Forever ever?") #

  • These vows have a certain appeal too: http://bit.ly/x1QVZ #

  • No D&D tonight as the dungeonmaster has gone to Princeton, so I will have my dinner cooked for me in the appropriate fashion #domesticsphere #

  • Arthur's daughter Martha is in pup & due on the day of our wedding. (That's the wedding of @knedd & me. I'm not marrying my dog for now). #

  • Sadly that means Martha's breeder won't be there for the revelry. OTOH, grand pups! #

  • http://twitpic.com/i4x2j - Bring a little NZ cultural modernism to the Kanye Apology Generator: http://bit.ly/AAG1t #

  • I now have bridal lingerie and hosiery, in this season's exciting nanna-neutrals. #

  • It has been a very very mellow day. Currently sipping a White Cliff sauv blanc donated by harvestmother. #

  • Furthermore, I am getting better at using the phrase "it's for my wedding" to get prompt service in this city's retail establishments. #

  • The iTunes version of Wham!'s The Final lacks the remix of I'm Your Man and the instrumental version of Blue (Armed with Love). Feh! #

  • Based on their advertising, I would say the answer to how it feels to chew 5 Gum is: complicated. #

  • I think I love Chris Rock's intonation as much as his jokes. It's one soothing set of incendiary rises and falls. #

  • The question of which dog gets to sit where on the couch has complicated answers. #

  • First blog post by @knedd at http://www.thepubrightnow.com/ #

  • Mood today is less than sparkling. I may try a post-brunch walk in a little while, by way of rehabilitation. #

  • The bags in which http://www.ufitin.co.nz (lingerie shop) pack their products come from here: http://www.lovecalcuttaarts.com/About.html #

  • I went for a ten-pylon stroll in the sun and the wind, from Sockburn to Riccarton Park to Hei Hei #rockingthesouthwest #

  • First line of "They Call Me Big Mama": "They call me Big Mama 'cos I weigh 300 pounds". It quickly gets very saucy indeed. #

  • RT @johubris: turns out the #tikishack will be open on Friday for @harvestbird #

  • Things I have seen and cannot unsee #12897346743: pictures of Jonah Lomu in bodybuilding poses. #

  • Today I am busy but productive. But busy. But productive. But busy. But busy. #

  • Drinking something called a mega mocha. This may not be wise. #

  • I can tell I am learning things with these new responsibilities at work, since each day I start off by thinking, "I can't possibly do this". #

  • So long as I continue to surprise myself, it's all good. I will be the fail-whale-tamer. #

  • RT @johubris: Yup, sorry kids, I'll be being wined and dined and entwined. No #tikishack this Friday. Boo-urns #

  • Results of @knedd and my separate training efforts starting to pay off. We are jumping around like a couple 9/10ths of our age, by gum. #

  • Happy typing error: Victor Hugo becomes Victor Hug. #

  • As much as I enjoy using #Chrome, it doesn't always respond to Javascript commands, and some pdf links crash it at home and at work. #

  • The Rolling Stones' "She's a Rainbow" appears to be in the same key as the start-up music for Windows XP. #

  • It's a glorious day at Christchurch airport. Wellington had better work it for me! #

  • Thank you weather tweeps, this is most asseptable. #

  • A poor choice of bus has led to a light constitutional around South Wellington. #

  • I did not think when making plans for this evening it would involve Full House slash, but who can fault the element of surprise? #

  • But the record should also show that @doompony and I were first-rate cheerleaders at the wresting ce soir. #

  • Oh dear: sic transit gloria slash. It's Dr Phil and the feet of a jogger. I should never have left Kansas, Toto. #

  • A lively evening necessitates a quiet morning. Looking forward to lunch with @lysergica and afternoon tea with @MeganWegan. #

  • ... followed by dinner with a FNOT (friend not on Twitter). Even my mini-breaks involve sitting and eating and sitting and eating. #

  • Lunch with @lysergica and @gamesteratlarge = passetyme with gud companye. #

  • Went to Mt Vic to see @wandaharland at her shop but was greeted instead by @wellykowhai. #splendid #

  • A spontaneous post-cuppa outing with @MeganWegan took us to the Petone premises of one @wandaharland! I have seen the empire's outposts. #

  • I should also note I bought a pack of playing cards with 3D images of puppies. #

  • RT @doompony: rasslin' pics from Wednesday. Too cool. http://www.flickr.com/photos/ratpony/sets/72157622319307141/ #

  • Last night I dreamed of PBRF. It was as frustrating in dreams as in real life. #

  • Cafe eating has now become paying someone to prepare and serve what @knedd makes for free at home. Thus, I turn into my mother. #
