Twitter Digest: My Tweets for 2008-05-31

by Carolyn

@lisamariemary I drowned in the work quicksand til 4:30, then bobbed to the surface. The miracle of weekends! #
@lizwebpage Twue, twue. #
Dang, I cannot hang tonight. Eyelids drooping, doing the head bobs, zzzzzz … (night, all) … zzzzzzzzzz #
@FabGirl lol — I darned near knocked myself unconscious with a 50/50 bleach/water solution cleaning a moldy apt. closet once #
@erinely Just voted — good luck! #
@MelissaSummers SO much better than my morn, in which I interrogated pets to see who’s the Mad Dining Room Pooper. #
@mightymur Love your new avatar — a little brain under the rubber stamp? #
Found a cool Twitter tool - follow “timer” and dm it with the time you want it to send you a reminder tweet. http://twitter.com/timer #
@mightymur Loving it MORE now. Braaaaaains … #
Whoops — daughter’s soccer warm-up starts in 4 minutes — game in 19 minutes. Gotta flee! #
@akaMonty Hey, I’m jealous. Mine are so thin I have to draw them in. :o) #
@Chookooloonks Congrats on your little swimmer. Love those milestones. :o) #
@john_dalton Never heard of a “banned” domain. Maybe it means some countries would filter it out on decency standards? (What is it?) #
@lalunablanca Snazzy Urban Weekend. Shelby United Women. Southern Union of Wits. Sorta Unofficial Whatsit. Seriously Uh, What? & worse. :o) #
@bc That’s a FAB photo! #
@akaMonty lol — mine are dark but only exist up close to the nose — outer edge of eyebrows vanish. Without drawing in, looks very Vulcan! #
@bc Cool backstory. You had me at “lavender pumps.” #
@lalunablanca *curtsying* Better than “Something Unexpectedly Wicked.” I think. #
@SuburbanTurmoil Definitely an AWWWsome pic. #
@akaMonty That is very logical. *wink* #
Weird, I’m only getting *some* of my tweets on Twhirl … there are replies on my Twitter page I haven’t seen before. #
<– Wishing Twitter would not be psychotic or that it would at least take its meds regularly. #
@akaMonty Well if they don’t, they SHOULD! ;oD #
@msh2006 I’m thinking of starting a wine guzzling group. Fuhgeddabout all this tasting. ;oP #
@mikedoe Hmm, you said that ARCHLY. (Let the groans begin.) #
@msh2006 I stand *hic* corrected. ;o) #
@mikedoe I know when I’m browbeaten. :oP #
@bc Very plucky of you. *ba-dum-bump* #
@msh2006 Oh, I love the stuff but don’t drink often. Not a moral thing — more of a “damn this headache thing.” Enjoy! #
@typeamom You know, “peaceful showers” sounds kind of like a pacifist kinkster’s dream. (Did I just say that out loud? OMG …) #
@bc Then @mikedoe and I shall carry on with unblinking resolve and not … err … put a lid on it. #
@msh2006 Probably the sugar, then … I do love me some sweet wine. But a really aromatic & mellow semi-dry wine works too. Recommendations? #
@waynehastings I wonder if they put a lower priority on sending Tweets to Twhirl, Friendfeed, etc.? I’d rather Twitter be slow than erratic. #
@msh2006 Never found a merlot I liked. Mostly reds, some whites, few roses. Ecco Domini, Fat Bastard, Louis Jadot Pouilly-Fuisse … #
@msh2006 Also Yago brand sangria, cream sherry, port, … you know, I’m getting thirsty … #
Oh, and I once dated a guy who bought some cheap-ass rose called “Eye of the Swan.” Every bit as classy as it sounds. But tasty. And $3. #
& there’s also Remy Martin when I want some throat-searing drink action. Back in the day, anyway! #
@waynehastings Ah. Well, that explains it. I guess they need to focus on serving their core audience first. Pity, though. But thanks! #
@msh2006 I’ve been hit-or-miss in finding a good one. (champagne taste/beer budget). Better a rare good snootful than frequent crap, right? #
@mommastantrum No, but I’m game! Will give it a shot but I’m doubtful. Merlot always tastes a little bitter/thin to me. Chianti, more so. #
@mommastantrum I must have your list of meds for wine headaches! ;o) #
@john_dalton Huh — I didn’t know Google banned sites, as long as they weren’t gaming the system somehow. But I may be naive on that. #
@mommastantrum Knock on wood, I haven’t had a severe headache in a while. Used to get the “turn off the lights & be quiet” kind. Sympathies! #
@mommastantrum Wasn’t ever diagnosed with migraines; might have been sinus-related. Since I had a couple of sinus surgeries, headaches=gone. #
Hmm, wine wish list. Good=rich, earthy, flavorful, AROMATIC. Bad=sharp, bitter, acidic. Sweet is OK; nonsweet too if no bitter “green” taste #
But I’ve had wines that were skunky, ones that left a sharp aftertaste like raw walnuts do, & others so oaky they tasted like liquid planks. #
@Peter_Gent That explains so much! No WONDER hubby kept pouring me glass after glass. :oP #
@mommastantrum Shiraz! Don’t like it either. You & I would do fine at a wine party - you’d get 1/2 the bottles & I’d get the other 1/2. ;o) #
@mommastantrum Ouch on the TIA, by the way. Glad you’re better! #
Hey Twitter photogs: I don’t get Twitpic — is it easier to use than Flickr + Snurl? #
@msh2006 Hmm, maybe fruity is what I mean too. #
@TheSabs Can’t get that song out of my mind now. Yay, Lovin’ Spoonful! #
@msh2006 Re tannins: Heh-heh — I *do* tend to uncork-and-pour without that pesky breathing in between. #
@msh2006 Cool — that just went on my buy-next list. In fact, just called hubby and asked him to pick it up. =) #
@Danacea *waving* Found your Twitter page after sighing over wines with @msh2006. Got thirsty enough to call hubby & request a vino pickup. #
@bgsand Well, darn — and me with a plain ol’ non-camera phone (corporate BlackBerry). Must start scheming. #
@Danacea Heh - one of my favorite cartoons has a clerk saying, “Hey Mike, how much ambiance does this wine have?” … ” ‘Bout a quart.” #
<– Just realized I’m the kind of person who has “favorite cartoons.” #
@Loula5 All I can say to your post is … “Cousin? That you?” :o) But srsly, I identify. #
@msh2006 Can’t wait to Twitter a “clink” and a “glug-glug-glug” to you. =) #
@msh2006 When you say spice, what does that mean in vino-lingo? Peppery? #
@xavierla REALLY — about Obama/church? #
@poshmama Ha. I read “buzzed” as “stoked” and wondered at your enthusiasm. :o) #
@tindle *snicker* I’m currently waiting for mah man to bring a bottle of ambience home. #
@msh2006 I wouldn’t mind trying “spicy” like that. Peppery, not so much. :o) #
@KJToo Heh-heh, you responding to my “waiting on wine” tweet or my “favorite cartoon” tweet? Or both? ;o) #
@msh2006 sound track for that movie: bow-chikka-BOW-bowwww” … right? ;oD #
@msh2006 I actually don’t mind a leeeeetle pepper. But not when it dominates. (A submissive pepper wine?) heh-heh … #
@xavierla OK, but I’ll keep my ears tuned to find out more. Thx — #
@tindle @msh2006 Yikes! I so did not get that Spice reference. :oP #
@msh2006 *trying to look like I might emit a low, throaty laugh … but just giggling like a loon* #
@tindle Ah … I figured something must have just zoomed over my head. Brit wit, was it? =) #
@hownottowrite Amen — I’m still beaming. #
@venomouskate I cannot believe this … in the U.S.? of A? #
@tindle Brit Wit it is, then. ;oP #
@crtv I thought it was lovely, & then I read the description. Lovely AND interesting. :o) #
Hubby just called to explain lateness; traffic is backed up to the horizon on 385. Poor fellah — #
retweeting from @TupeloRob: Obama’s quit Trinity United Church. WOW he found an opinionated post on it: http://tinyurl.com/6go5po #
@akaMonty Is that the badge with the mug and the teardrop? ;o) #
@thicke It’s not a judgment — I like opinionated. I’m just surprised when I find coherent forcefulness. #
@akaMonty I like how they used silvery threads. Really makes the tear glisten. ;o) #
@GeekMommy Hey, I kinda love how that “hush up, now” comment was phrased. #
@madpoet Nom indeed! #
@skippytpe You know, you COULD pencil in an O and improve that sign to “No poets.” =) #
OK, my wine — er, I mean my HUBBY– has arrived. Am going to greet him, just in case he’s carrying anything that needs to be uncorked. #
Say, that sounded like a fair bit of innuendo. *pink face* Later, tweets! #
