  • OK, what am I doing wrong? Why does my internet crap out intermittently when two computers on the network are online? Not IP stealing. GRR. #
  • Also, HAAAAATE that this has to be my problem and not someone else's. HATE. #

  • @LQ [Any cocktail with a paper umbrella] http://tswl.us/ctn4QW #

  • Watching the back-door pilot to Empty Nest. Same set, Rita Moreno, a HiTG!, no Dreyfus nor Richard Mulligan. Plus Golden Girls. Weird. #
  • Watching "Taking Woodstock" is making me realize the hippies were shrewd capitalists who merely lacked hygiene & barbers. #

  • Movies like "Dinner with Friends" may have meaty roles for the actors, but rich white people arguing about their infidelities? Yawn. #

  • Wimbledon finals are so much less fun without Pete Sampras. Yes, I just used "fun" and "Sampras" in the same sentence, without irony. #
  • A little nervous about the coming week at work. Shit is about to get real. In other news, _Sit, Ubu Sit_ is a great memoir. #
  • Do I have it in me to bake chocolate chip cookies tonight? Alas, I fear I do not. #
