  • Yet more retarded manga icons defiling Twitter. Infection? Virus? Whatever it is, it’s infected the entire twitverse. In search of a cure. #
  • Beastly Barista and Annoying Barista joining forces this morning to doom the the day. “Hi!” the beast cries. “Good to see you!” I fear her. #
  • Other things annoying me (besides Annoying Barista) right now: “Good mornnnning,” cops flirting in dark corner (GBTW!), impending work day. #
  • Beastly Barista savages me with her Starbucks gossip. I don’t care! I don’t care! But the beast hears not my silent pleas for mercy. #
  • i r ritard. #
  • Hmm… smells nice out today… oh, the stinks are headed for Burning Man. #
  • Farkers, help a broham out: 1) Spell out whole numbers less than 10. 2) Use numerals for 10 and higher, except at the beginning of headline. #
  • (Yeah, there’s a ton of exceptions, but I can clean those up — sticking with the below guidelines takes care of 90 percent of the problem.) #
  • Olympic motto: “Citius, Altius, Fortius” (Faster, Higher, Stronger). So why is synchronized swimming included? #
  • @alysonwithay, really? Sweet! #
  • Must concentrate on anything but that which is most important to me right now. So this moment sucks. In other news: Caffeine was a bad idea. #
  • Grab Bye Bye Blackbird’s four-song EP for FREE at http://tinyurl.com/68zzbp. Mellowy guitar pop, nice stuff! I’ll check the new album soon. #

  • I dunno why the cartoon/manga-face icons that seem to be pollutting Twitter bothers me so much, except that they’re completely tarded. #
  • @farktv, yours is cool — it’s that generic, inexpressive, infantile, constipated icon created by some website that’s making me hate tweeps. #
  • Still use the first-gen iPhone. I’ve gone from cutting-edge first-adopter embracing the future to grumpy user of retro tech. Classic iPhone! #

  • You only hear “human” when something dumb or gross or weird or fucked-up occurs; it’s always preceded with “only.” There are no high-fives. #

  • In the age of texting, making a phone call has become an intimate experience, and somewhat intrusive. Do not tread on my live-time minutes! #
  • Eating “The Original, 100% Flourless Ezekial 4:9 Sprouted Whole Grain Cereal (Golden Flax).” AKA, Grape Nuts. I am Brent, hear me hippie! #
  • DECLARATION: If you replace your awesome pic/icon/whatever with one of those retarded cartoon icons a la Yahoo! Answers? I will not follow. #
  • Disappointing when someone tweets the one tweet that kind of blows your mind, and then isn’t all that interesting anyway… #
  • Twitter acquires Summize — and now something that once worked really well simply doesn’t. Sorry Twitter, but you’re the suck #
  • Yes, but as Editor in Chief, you wrote a great anti-anti-smoking-law piece for UCSD’s student pub, @herdnoise, which you then pulled. Lame! #
  • The new Glen Campbell album, “Meet Glen Campbell,” makes me sad. Follows Cash’s example by covering contemporary stuff, but sounds flat. #
  • My turn, my turn! If you’re not following @fatguyinathong, @ieatpoop or @don’twastemyeyeballswithyourmasturbatoryrecommendations, then die! #
  • (Heh — that looks harsher than intended :P) #
  • Creating order form for catalog. This, my friends, is why I wake up in a yet another woman’s bed every morning. #
  • Okay, fine: This is the one tweet that I’ve read, ever, that blew my mind: http://tinyurl.com/5dxex6. No more DMs about this, please! #
  • @hotheadred, who is your wife? Mind, I follow many wives. Not all of them can be yours. #
  • Email sent to all employees at my company: “Hi All! If you left your lemon bar in the women’s restroom, I have it…” #
  • Update: The lemon bar found in the women’s restroom was claimed. Meanwhile, if anyone is missing it, I found a Baby Ruth in the men’s room. #
  • Metaquestion: Why do I always end up following lesbians? #
  • Retweet @kellydeal: “I recommend @youallquitrubbingupagainsteachother and @getbacktomakingmelaugh” #
  • No one can quite gross me out like @CcSteff can gross me out. #

  • @sflovestory: Read Youth in Revolt. Reminded me of Confederacy of Dunces: Rough, initially funny, then disintegrates. Both need good editors #
  • Power is out at work, so it’s business as usual around here. #
  • Did @joethepeacock just say, “I’m dandy”? ZOMG. Also, he’s an Internet Superstar: http://tinyurl.com/6khugt #
  • [REDACTED] hate [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] [REDACTED] [REDACTED] hate [REDACTED] took a billy club to [REDACTED] [REDACTED] [REDACTED] #
  • Amen, brother @misc #
  • Indexing catalog. This, my friends, is why I’m invited to all the parties. #

  • My Google Talk status is “I like pie.” Status-message responses from the unwashed masses: “I like Pei,” “I make good pie,” “I like π,” etc. #
  • Rateitall.com is looking awesome! Nice work there, @lawrencecoburn #
  • FRANZ KAFKA! Be careful if you get him pissed! FRANZ! FRANZ KAFKA! He’ll smite you with metaphor fists! (Stuck in head, thanks to @jkubicek) #
  • Living like a bug ain’t easy / my old clothes don’t seem to fit me / I got tiny bug feet / I don’t really know what bugs eat… #
  • Man alive, aren’t the twitterbabies snarky about the Chinese women gym team today? Erm, “women” gym team, that is. #
  • I follow @wyattwoo because he’s by far more clever than you. #
  • Whoa? Bush postponing vacation to monitor Georgian situation? Speechless… #
  • Heh. Just made a ringtone from “Don’t Go,” @ohheygreat. Showed it off to friend, who then declared me “gay.” So I assigned it to her digits. #
  • I’m gonna piss off half the peeps who follow me, but: Worst fantasy series ever? The Wheel of Time. Worst writer ever? Robert Jordan. Yes. #
  • Local peeps: Check out Tara’s Organic Ice Cream at College & Alcatraz. It’s the good shiz, yo. Bonus: The hot ice-cream lady behind counter. #
  • Love the Bay Area, but the vast majority of us are too soft by far. Sensitive souls for whom words are nukes, always on defcon 2, awaiting 1 #
  • Thank you @favrd for disabling formatting — didn’t know why it stopped, but certainly glad it did. #
  • Friend’s record-label blog has a feature called “Anatomy of a Song” — check it out and participate: http://blog.americandust.net/ #

  • If I ever run into a clydesdale, I’ll probably punch it in the snout. That’s how much I hate Bud. #
  • Sigh. Even China has high-speed rail. California? Never happen in my lifetime. #
  • Why doesn’t iTunes like MP3s from India? #
  • I think running with @CcSteff would be the ultimate in adventure, and would ultimately end in my untimely death. #
  • Hey farkers: No need to use “w/” or “w” in place of “with” in headlines — just spell the damn word already. #
  • @CcSteff: I got me the lungs and legs, but the knifework is admittedly a bit rusty. #
  • Russia is apparently paying attention to a world that’s telling it to stop invading a sovereign nation. The United States? Not so much. #
  • List of most amazing foods: 5) Chicken and waffles. 4) NY-style pepperoni slice. 3) Cured-meat sandwiches. 2) Indian, generally. 1) Pie. #
  • Who’s the douche calling gymnastics for NBC? “There’s a new China syndrome — it’s called China gold!” Tried to sound impromptu, failed hard #
  • Retweet @sluggirl1: “You neglected to mention chocolate-covered bacon. http://tinyurl.com/5u28yo.” ZOMG! Mouth watering up… #
  • @smartasshat: Ha, yeah, saw that too. What is it about sports in general, and gymnastics in particular, that makes TV people retarded? #
  • Problem with saying “ad hominem!” when in bitchslap? You make up rules not agreed upon; use said rules to be a dick; whine when bitchslapped #
  • Shoos them? In your part of the country, you need a T in there somewhere, @wwjdfakb #
  • Damn: Google Maps caught me in, uhm, napping… that’s it: http://tinyurl.com/5z9cdd #
