@martinboz well, @pinkyracr did give me the idea that CA Oil might solve our budget problems.
Other Sunday Morning readings include Heidegger's Being and Time, On Hermeneutics and Max Weber.
@johnperrybarlow I am the infamous roommate. (And we have met on several occasions.) I like to RT your astute observations.
@martinboz not just taxing oil production - but upping oil production. Crazy idea, I know.
@danger_ranger love the furkid link.
Also @danger_ranger Santacon 2009 LA is starting to get organized: http://bit.ly/3RDHc0
Full fat early moon in weho - complete with a ghetto bird encircling it.
@WehoDaily that is good to know, but it's effing irritating. ground sweeping would be more effective. or mobilize neighborhood watch.
@WehoDaily when did she go missing?
RT @chickenjohn: Anyone know of an organization/political action committee that is for art spaces? I'm looking for a precedent.
@mktgdouchebag I watched a presentation by a real life marketing douchebag and wondered if it was you. It was a strange thing to think.
@projectfresh just pretend it is 3am.
@mgardiol @revdak Fnord santa fnord
@mktgdouchebag I am so not going to tell you.
In other breaking news, the Zombies will be performing the midnight show at BootieLA this Saturday: http://www.bootiela.com/
@mktgdouchebag I just got this self-conscious sinking feeling in my gut. (it was a preso on slideshare - not in person)
@AnnikaSkywalkr it's for @chickenjohn. Did not go to Artwalk this past one, but have in the past.
All prepped for my first class of my inaugural personal branding workshop tomorrow. Very excited to unveil the material.
& on the menu tonight: roast chicken + sautéed veggies from the farmers market. My Dinner with Andre and a glass of @BonnyDoonVineyd.
@WehoDaily I have to admit, I was not as irritated w/ the helicopter after I knew what it was for. Transparency = compassion & understanding
Wow @barcampla. I'm really disappointed in your postponement. Sounds like you should/need to rally support from the community.
@amoration awwh. thanks. it was a great first class!
@barcampla I AM excited for it. Just wish it wasn't postponed. I had some super good fun I was going to bring.
Also @barcampla wish I had know you were having troubles, cause I would have brought in my swat team of solutions. Everything is possible.

RT @lasanta: Get your Ho ho ho ready for 12/12. Cause Santa is coming to town. http://is.gd/4Jo0X
OH blogging is now retro.
@twistedcat oh yeah, totally.
"have you ever seen a squank's tears? well look at mine." a morning of skeletons, zombies, santas, pumpkin pancakes, coffee and planning.
Sometimes I wish I was stupid and not proactive. I find, and solve, problems before they blow up. But they still stress me out the same.
"you spin me / up-si-down / like a record baby / round and round boy you turn me " (in preparation for @clubbootie)
Bootie is off the hook! Looking to dance tonight? Get your bootie down here! Thanks @clubbootie
I like the cars that go BOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!
I forgot how much it is to perform at @clubbootie. That was fun!
@johnedgarpark Damn. I missed that. I suck. I'm sure it was awesome. But I did/am wearing a skeleton unitard. Does that count for anything?
For the record, I am still wearing my skeleton unitard. It's kind of fun actually.
@pinkyracr You were missed! You needed to be there.
@johnperrybarlow it is. isn't that a line from a song? maybe franklin's tower? or robyn hitchcock maybe.
OMG - insane twice baked almond croissant!
@avflox Try 1) walk outside, 2) coffee (but not if you've had a lot already), 3) a shot and nap
spelunking in my old email, looking for the first usability test on AJAX web apps circa 1999! And I found it!
And I remember Spiffy the Wunder Mutt too! #iAmaze #web1point0
wonder if I'd get in any trouble if I posted those usability reports. they're almost 10 years old... they might be boring though.
Importing gigs of archived Outlook files: a decade of my career in Silicon Valley. Ah, the treasures, the documents, the unfulfilled dreams.
GAK! And emails from my x-husband. Along with way too many Ryze messages.
@IanJSpector stay posted (I am gonna put em up) but it will be later this week.
@triple_entendre oh yeah, I am backed up to hell. You don't even want to see my Zip and Jazz drives. LOL.
@triple_entendre although, I am missing entire years, so I must have crashed at least once.
"And I'm never going back to my Old School." But where are all my sent messages?
I need to learn Russian. You'd think I already knew it based on my neighbors.
I forgot how productive I am on conference calls.
Jerry Springer totally ripped off UHF.
I love that actors in the 80s had bad teeth and wrinkles.
The snakes are hungry. So am I.
the dog is the star of the office. everyone love him. (@SamL)
Missed my personal branding class this month? You'll get another chance in January. 8 weeks to define, clarify & develop your personal brand
Thanks for the FF. But I'm confused on which account does what. @ParallelMind @FreshAsylum @aliyahmarr
RT @mktgdouchebag: Letting your phone vibrate on the conference table is the tech industry equivalent of honking your car when you lock it.
how to create the future, step 1: know who you're creating it for.
I'm having a hard time staying friends with friends who are friends with people I despise. How do you deal with that?
@HYJYNX take a breath. think about milkshakes.
@mktgdouchebag I'm talking about ppl I personally know and have direct experience to despise.
@mktgdouchebag but I guess that's in some way no different from the theoretical ones.
@ilainie I would love to.
@paulcopcutt 360 is good for feedback, but I usually start with visioning personal brand.
@paulcopcutt but I could see using this for situational analysis
well 8 weeks is 4 weeks longer than my current personal branding class! (And the students are rocking it!) :)
OH from my work peeps- its oh-nine baby. Nobody has pubes.
Oh do policemen sing / I heard a person say / they can do anything / I heard the voice reply.
I love gun nuts.
Early thanksgiving at the ranch. Turkey turkey turkey!
Too much mashed potatoes!

RT @mktgdouchebag: If you've been on a real roll, one of the best things that can happen next is stumbling. Otherwise you stop looking down.
you can blame my bad mood on the incompetence of West Hollywood. WTF giving me 1 day notice for your mistaken parking ticket.
West Hollywood Parking City employees, I hope you all die in horrible car accidents in mangled bloody messes.
@trebuchet they gave me the effing ticket when I had my permit VISIBLE! I want to kill them all.
Hey @WehoDaily. Can you tell me why the WeHo parking division is so freaking incompetent?
I go to court 2 fight the wrongful ticket, & they r supposed to give me weeks of notice, but I got 1 day, altho letter dated 1 week ago! WTF
@WehoDaily ticket given 2 me for parking in permit area (at 3am) - alto my permit was hanging up. I take photos, write letter, they say ..
@WehoDaily need more documentation. write back in 2 week. I miss deadline (because was on vacation, & I think their letter dates r bogus) ..
@WehoDaily send letter with copy of permit, they ignore. say make trial date. I try. have 2pay ticket 1st but can't schedule trial via phone
@WehoDaily get letter in mail tonight. trial tomorrow. letter dated 11/9. no post office stamp. I want to kill them all.
@WehoDaily can you explain incompetence? WTF 1 day notice, no postmark. Extortion.
@WehoDaily don't even get me started on the fiasco that is the yearly parking pass.
@WehoDaily ok. will consider that, if I make it through tomorrow.
it's 8am in Kiev. Don't ask me why I know.
pondering my next thinkpad..... this t61 is too big and bulky. it's gotta go!
and while I am upgrading, should I try android, go to the darkside (iphone) or upgrade my samsung dual flip texting phone...
(and yeah, I was considering these options before xkcd)
@woodyp yeah, I am a fan of the keyboard. I was also considering Windows CE and have heard good stuff about hte palm.
Next tech question. Should I bail from Verizon? If so, go where? (don't tell me AT&T. I need mobile broadband and all over access.

There something so freeing about being alone. Responsible, answerable to nobody but oneself.

Need feedback: Is a wreath a "christmas" decoration? or winter decoration. Question critical to the longevity of my relationship.
@sexyoralannie isn't a christmas tree pagan?
@traviskoplow it is made of evergreen material. It also has pinecones, unicorns and dinosaurs on it.
@AnnikaSkywalkr I like that. A wreath of onions and moss. Picture please!
Today is an important day. Today I face (and surmount) one of my teenage fears: the standardized test. Please wish me luck.
Ah. That was fun. Ps i rocked it.
re: Bugatti Veyron @eve6er69 @duPontREGISTRY I saw it TWICE! La Cienga& later onthe 405 near Torrance. I'd really like to drive one someday.
