Net is fouled up. Connection dropping every few seconds. will call Virgin tomorrow. 00:41:08, 2011-12-26
Mum tried to get me the 500g jar of Bovril for xmas. Even phoned Unilever! They still make it but apparently no suppliers have ordered any! 00:56:58, 2011-12-26
Also, pie-cakes a success, but resultant hybrid has a dramatically shortened shelf-lifespan. 00:57:40, 2011-12-26
@ladyuhuru Oh yeah, bursting them. Not fun. Maybe wrap something around it to pressure it away slowly instead. in reply to ladyuhuru 16:49:29, 2011-12-26
I liked a @YouTube video http://t.co/BlfOy4u1 Riley on Marketing 16:55:55, 2011-12-26

Got an LED upgrade for my Maglite on the way, plus a mode switch. <3 19:20:34, 2011-12-26
Wasn't keen on the switch til I saw a YT vid of it. It's not a cycle-through, it's click-timing based. So don't have to cycle thru to off. 19:21:48, 2011-12-26
Thanks for this. Text descriptions seemed to indicate the IQ switch was a cycle (@YouTube http://t.co/bCVwn7QY) 19:25:11, 2011-12-26
Left-overs. <3 20:06:09, 2011-12-26
@Scapponess Surprised no one's made furry artists mannequins yet for helping on poses in reply to Scapponess 20:41:32, 2011-12-26
Replacement lube ordered. The special offer code is technically overdate, but no harm in entering it anyway. 21:15:30, 2011-12-26
@penguat TMI is subjective, so you tell me? in reply to penguat 21:23:44, 2011-12-26
@KristenDeity I'm going to make you a new microphone. I've got it turned up to full and can barely hear you guys. :( 22:14:04, 2011-12-26
#CharlottesSack sounds like it should contain spiders. And a talking pig. 22:17:09, 2011-12-26
Fus.. Ro.. #CharlottesSack! 22:38:52, 2011-12-26
@jackalesque So he's being passive-aggressive against GOD? That should put things in perspective. in reply to jackalesque 23:10:38, 2011-12-26
@bengoldacre The Gingery Machine Shop series should cover the tech level about as far as 1920s. in reply to bengoldacre 23:34:35, 2011-12-26

Mood has improved a little and starting to feel a bit hungry. 01:18:15, 2011-12-25
I had to take a 30sec time-out at the batman mask. (@YouTube http://t.co/RNqwS0hg) 01:24:39, 2011-12-25
Will create an "after-dark" account. Will consist of lots of snoring and/or observations using night-vision goggles. 02:26:08, 2011-12-25
@thepandalion I think this is the first time I've been in someones group doodle. <3 in reply to thepandalion 02:26:59, 2011-12-25
@thepandalion TY, that really means a lot right now. <3 in reply to thepandalion 02:44:22, 2011-12-25
@JezzKitty Too adorable! in reply to JezzKitty 13:05:14, 2011-12-25
Found my door-keys. They were in my leather jacket, which I had forgotten existed. Really. These memory issues are getting non-trivial. 13:06:10, 2011-12-25
I liked a @YouTube video http://t.co/wHAVQEK8 Somethin' Stupid… 13:11:53, 2011-12-25
@tajasel Sounds like it's a bit under-done if it can still fart. in reply to tajasel 14:15:08, 2011-12-25
Time for a shower. Head's not clear. Just fell over while standing still, followed by word dysfunction (wrong words, right meanings). 14:18:30, 2011-12-25
Spontaneous word confusion, intent correct; Going to shower : water-dirt removal scrub. Ugh. 14:20:40, 2011-12-25
Suspect individual mental sub-systems just can't be fucked to put in the full effort anymore. 14:21:31, 2011-12-25
Upside; could start writing poetry. 14:22:56, 2011-12-25
Yes, I'm aware of Aphasia, but I understand that to be completely confused use of words. No similarity between intended meaning & actual. 14:27:46, 2011-12-25
@MrCullen No one does, she's just like Santa Claus. in reply to MrCullen 15:24:42, 2011-12-25
@julesmattsson Borrow a claw-hammer I presume? Or a grinder and a crowbar. Hacksaw in a pinch. Oxy-acetylene as a last resort. in reply to julesmattsson 15:26:54, 2011-12-25

@ShanieTX Good lord, you're hollow! in reply to ShanieTX 21:42:15, 2011-12-25
@ShanieTX It means you're filling up with so much drink you must be hollow to accommodate them. It's just me being silly. :P in reply to ShanieTX 22:10:33, 2011-12-25
I miss boobs. :P 22:25:16, 2011-12-25

FYI; I am not "depressed". What I am is both exhausted and angry. 00:58:52, 2011-12-24
@jonty Maybe get them a better service package for xmas? in reply to jonty 02:42:26, 2011-12-24

Heard the Home Alone music used on an xmas advert. Didn't make me want to shop there. DID make me want to set some burglars on fire. 02:06:11, 2011-12-23
I liked a @YouTube video http://t.co/XCq5NB6Q Alestorm – You Are a Pirate! 02:09:03, 2011-12-23
Reading the MSPA forums is expanding my vocabulary in much the same way reading Transmetropolitan did. 02:37:37, 2011-12-23
I wonder if they tested it for traces of Silver Iodide? Always liked the theory (@YouTube http://t.co/Cu4HN1PY) 14:57:57, 2011-12-23
Gotta say, wow. The Japanese know how to make a gay condom advocacy advert. 15:09:17, 2011-12-23
@ShanieTX Did you ever hear back about the UK motor-size issue? in reply to ShanieTX 15:17:45, 2011-12-23

Body's collapsing I swear. Sleeping 14+hrs a night. By the time I've had breakfast it's dark again. 16:30:06, 2011-12-23
YT have re-added the [X] button to recommended videos, but not to the subscriptions list. 16:45:47, 2011-12-23
Save me, Christmas Beer. 18:23:16, 2011-12-23
YouTube Cyst videos; amount of screaming inversely proportional to the amount of rubber gloves used. #InThatBitOfYouTubeAgain 18:55:05, 2011-12-23

@julesmattsson Leaping into self-parody with both feet, wrapped in a UK flag. Is there a short-story prize they should be nominated for? in reply to julesmattsson 22:17:07, 2011-12-23
Daily Mail appears to be warming up some Canadian Bacon: http://t.co/KYO3HPhK 22:26:15, 2011-12-23
@julesmattsson #10 was a disturbing realisation when I visited a friend living out in the country in the USA. Too quiet. in reply to julesmattsson 23:00:09, 2011-12-23
I don't think I've ever been this angry at a Christmas before. 23:28:12, 2011-12-23

I liked a @YouTube video from @Totalbiscuit http://t.co/1WLdeJyf TotalBiscuit sings "Let it Snow" with a twist 00:37:23, 2011-12-22
Surprised no one's pointed out #SOPA would probably kill #Homestuck because of all the fair-use copy and paste graphic bits. 01:04:46, 2011-12-22
The Homestuck army is one I would not want to fight against. 01:05:16, 2011-12-22
@karaspita I'll have to pass this to my sister. The logic certainly sounds sound. in reply to karaspita 14:20:42, 2011-12-22
Only problem with Flux is it's gamma-change is so sudden I think I'm having a stroke when it happens. 15:44:31, 2011-12-22
Sudden realisation that the population's normal xmas spending binge is going to hit VERY hard in a couple of months. 16:23:20, 2011-12-22
Between layoffs & rising credit card bills, anyone who tried to treat this xmas as business as usual is going to be up shit-creek by March. 16:25:05, 2011-12-22
@jackalesque Where are you? in reply to jackalesque 17:21:57, 2011-12-22
Apparently we got rid of all the equipment I'd need to make this meal anyway. Fuck. 18:01:07, 2011-12-22
Going to just cook the meat and re-freeze it. Then get on with cooking the mandatory xmas gifts. 18:01:47, 2011-12-22
