If you’re not following me on Twitter, you’re missing out. Here are some of my recent tweets:
Farewell, my acupuncturist! You were sweet and empathetic, but sadly out of network.
Good news: Got a digital converter, so now I have 15 TV channels instead of 8! Bad news: Half of them are the weather.
The heat is fixed! I won’t have to burn the IKEA coffee cart for warmth.
My heat isn’t working, but I have a blanket of kittens to keep me warm.
Conducting top secret oatmeal experiments. Both the Diet Pepsi and the hot sauce were bad ideas. No, I’m not kidding.
I really want some chocolate. Please remind me why this is a bad idea. Chocolate is made from the souls of dead babies, right?
Is Friday over yet? Surely it is in Australia.
I feel so much better now that I drink 3 cups of coffee a day. I’m sure it will have no long-term negative effects.

Google is helping track flu trends via search query monitoring. Quick, everyone search for “bloody mucus.”

Of course the Diet Pepsi was a bad idea. Everyone knows Diet Coke is better.
At least my blue food coloring and cookie sprinkles worked out well. Much better than the barbecue sauce and garlic.

I , too, am cableless and just bought a digital converter. Then had to buy another antenna. But now I get 20 channels! Eight of them are PBS-related. Strange. Who knew public television had so many channels?

I do follow you on Twitter, but I missed “I really want some chocolate. Please remind me why this is a bad idea. Chocolate is made from the souls of dead babies, right?” And yes, it is.

Yes, chocolate is made of the souls of dead babies and is the devil’s brownie.
And, I have no privacy at my work for Twitter. But when I move over Thanksgiving holiday I will have internet and a computer at my apartment! Yay!

why is chocolate bad? Cocoa powder plus Splenda in oatmeal is great.

Personally I find it easy to avoid chocolate by using the advice from Scruples by Judith Krantz — imagining it’s made of poo. (The colour makes it easy :P)

Yes! Chocolate is teh evil! My boss brought in a bag left over from Halloween (so she says) and it is still there on the counter untouched by me. I seem to have built up an immunity to chocolate because I never would have let that bag live past Tuesday a year ago.

Eggnog flavored milk or soymilk on the oatmeal is good – strawberry banana soymilk is probably good too. (The chocolate peppermint soymilk is addictive.)
