  • 00:30:00: Just got smacked upside the head by the sleepy bat. I’d hoped to have time to beta for Jim AND read more WMF. Looks like I’m doing neither.
  • 00:32:08: Argh, today feels like such a Friday! I should be getting a good night’s sleep, then going with my friends to see @antonstrout at Midtown.

  • 12:46:20: @CUnderkoffler I envy these gorillas.
  • 13:28:08: Coworker used “Danke Schön” without knowing what language it was, or what “Bitte” meant. Fear not, he has been roundly mocked.
