need to pack, but i don’t wanna. Why do I always drag my feet with this? Whether for work or fun, I always put it off to the wee hours.
I acknowledge my less-than-savory twitter followers, and I will stand by them. (Even though I don’t follow them.)
Pierzynski just made the sign of the cross before batting, proving that devil can and does cite Scripture.
السلام عليكم
Autumn is here, and thus another listen to “Secrets of the Beehive.” A must for the equinox, and perhaps every day until spring.
َمَتشْ هَنلي
Blue stars, yellow moons, green clovers…ah no, just really dry raisins and flakes o’ bran.
just learned iTunes has recently put my music in an “unknown album” folder within an “unknown artist” folder, for the 3rd time in 5 years!
Christine and I are at Fern’s singing along with the awful Chicago hits of the ’80s.
Going to see some great art at 526 selby ave tonight!
In denying myself food, I’m realizing how easily I take it for granted, yes, even the food court fare. Never imagined that. #ramadan4aday
hard to remember that I can’t go get some water when I’m thirsty. This experiment makes me think about those w/o H20 everyday. #ramadan4aday
In Minneapolis the sun sets at or around 7:20pm these days, in case you were curious. I was merely curious, so I checked. #ramadan4aday
there’s saltwater taffy in the kitchen @ MPR, in case you wanted some. I observed that they are yummy vanilla & brown flavors. #ramadan4aday
Multi-packs of Little Debbie snack cakes are on sale for $1.25 at Target, if you’re curious. I’m just sharing my observation. #ramadan4aday
Watching the sun kiss the horizon and Carly Simon’s “Anticipation” comes on the radio—I’m not kidding! #ramadan4aday
Breaking the fast at a great local spot—The Craftsman. The day of fasting was incredible. If you haven’t tried it you should! #ramadan4aday
Attempting a day-long fast today: just got up to eat protein-rich breakfast with large amount of water.
last tweet made no sense, so let me try again: I’m attempting a sun-up to sun-down fast, so I got up before dawn & had breakfast & lunch.
starting to get hungry, hell, I AM hungry & Wednesday is “church lunch” day where the church next door serves a fab hot lunch. #ramadan4aday

Day 4 without coffee and everything is pretty good. Headaches may have been related, but i don’t think so.
studying
Heard today, “Dont say you’re easy on me, you’re about as easy as a nuclear war.” #simonsaid
RT @SOFtweets I saw @matisyahu last night at First Ave. Wondering about pop culture + religious expression here: http://bit.ly/ybMS1
Dragging after seeing Matisyahu show last night. Now I am lucky to catch the last 53 express to work. Work: “I’ll be there…” (last MJ ref)
Houston, we have an iPhone. Heaven help me get a life. Maybe there’s an app for that.
Habemus Senatoris! Where has my Latin gone? (Thank you, Theresa Vann)
i want to see @matisyahu in Minneapolis tonight!

Habeus Senatorem!
goodbye cable, goodbye t-mobile, hello mpls wifi + iphone!
Anyone have MPLS wi-fi? How do you like it; where do you live?
Another very cool BBC feature: http://tinyurl.com/nwbckx
“Girlfriend, I’m gonna tell your boyfriend—yeah!” Memories of making deliveries in the West Photo van w/this cassette, in my best falsetto.
I don’t care who you credit, Jacko or Quincy but Lady in My Life = one of the most sensual R&B songs, esp @ ~4:00. http://tinyurl.com/ltlepo
“Creatures crawl in search of blood. To terrorize y’all’s neighborhood.” One more spin of Lady in My Life, then off to bed.
I gotta say, I never would’ve expected the reaction I had yesterday to MJ’s death. Strange, the span & weight of memories when someone dies.
“Michael, we’re not gonna fight about this, okay? Paul, I think I told you, I’m a lover not a fighter.”
Falling from grace, being cast out of paradise on a fiery chariot driven by hellhounds (I’m on an Nwa flight from Hawaii).
42 children, in pairs using the buddy system, just invaded this 21 bus.
is supposed to be packing, but is procrastinating, as usual.
Impressions aside, ads on web can be measured thru actual clicks. Can ads really work on passive media like tv, w/o a solid measurement?
Tony kushner is on my flight home to msp. Anything u want me to tell him?
walked 10 miles around Brooklyn today and I have a blister on each foot as parting gifts. Dinner at a great Burmese place w/great friend.

I’d love to find a nice cafe with a patio & Leon Redbone playing in the corner. Michael would prefer the NHL finals on the tv in the corner.
a lovely day in Cobble Hill.
Don’t want to take Petula to the vet for the wknd stay—she’s such a sport. Soon I’ll train her to use the toilet & measure 3/4 cup of food.
packing for NYC.
for Laurie: Ate some fresh arugula from the garden last night—it was spicy! (Hmmmm, what could this REALLY mean?)
