Just got a shopping list from my son via Skype. “There’s no toast bread!”

link

#

Looks like #Assange has put on weight while in the UK…

link

#

32 cases, 2 x A, 9 x B, rest C. Considering quitting for the day #work

link

#

Today is a 3-finger Scotch day. So was yesterday though #work

link

#

Mycket gnäll i Sjöstans twitterflöde idag, kallare vädret drar ner humöret #whitewhine #fb

link

#

30 cases, 1 x A, 7 x B, the rest are C. Bit stressed. #work

link

#

Man China Miéville is a fucking genius. “Kraken” rocks.

link

#

not surprisingly, Facebook makes it non-obvious to remove “friends”.

link

#

BTW the quotation marks around “friends” are intentional, I don’t really buy into the FB newspeak in this regard

link

#

Big surprise, zero keepers from 2 evenings out shooting

link

#

Arcade Fire and the Linklater movie “A Scanner Darkly” - two things that go great together

link

#

Paul Simon’s “Hearts and Bones” is one of his best albums, in my humble opinion

link

#

Of course “Graceland” isn’t far behind #paulsimon

link

#

instead of #eurovision I’m watching Paul Krugman’s fav Arcade Fire clips from YouTube

link

#

well that sucked #Engelert #eurovision

link

#

Thanks Twitter for buckling under #eurovision load

link

#

That hair… #nightmarefuel #albania #esc

How did #Albania survive the semifinals?

link

#

That air guitar solo… please kill me now #esc

link

#

Leo: “will the Russian grannies be able to keep awake?” #esc

link

#

“Baku: City of Fine Cuisine…. and oil pollution”

link

#

it’s 01 AM in Baku now?

link

#

well 10 to 01

link

#

so apparently it’s “Garabach” and not “Nagorno-Karabach” - or are they separate?

link

#

Leo appreciates Ms Romania’s legs #esc

link

#

Viking: “oh it’s Denmark?! I’m not voting for this” #esc

link

#

The dude playing bass in the background is like “yeah w/e I just walked in and started playing” #denmark #esc

link

#

Poor Macedonia still has to put “F.Y.R.” in front of its name. Alexander the Great’s reach is long

link

#

Jedward? More like Squidward amirite?

link

#

Watersports. Really? #esc

link

#

I always forget Moldova’s technically a country. EBU membership fees must be pretty low.

link

#

that’s a lot of lasers #esc

link

#

Chicks with torches! violins! clapping! flames! If I were gonna drink I’d be dead by now #esc

link

#

OK we now know what the Azeri flag looks like. #esc

link

#

12 points to Serbia from Montenegro. SURPRISE AVERTED #ESC

link

#

WTF San Marino #esc

link

#

Wow the Greek 12 to Crete was unexpected… NOT #esc

link

#

and Moldova returns Romania’s 12

link

#

Still a bit positive that Croatia gives 12 to Serbia #esc

link

#

thank you ICELAND

link

#

Mr Lordi presents the Finnish votes #cringe #esc

link

#

First country not to give Sweden points, thanks for bucking the trend Italy #esc

link

#

Poor German presenter looks like she’s Carrie #esc

link

#

Sweden has won, move along, nothing to see here. See you next year Europe! #esc

link

#

Wow I could really use a beer after today. #work

link

#

Thanks, Internet, for making me feel self-conscious for liking Wes Anderson movies.

link

#

If there was a dimensional portal around here I’d beam over to CPH for beers with @jedrek, @tkjaer, and @dubcroster

link

#

Man, “Meat is Murder” is truly a dreary emo hymn. No wonder so many people love it #thesmiths

link

#

29 cases assigned to me, getting a bit excessive I think #work

link

#

I wonder, will Microsoft’s #So.cl be equally, more, or less boring than #Google+ ?

link

#

Facebook share price still slowly deflating like a social media soufflé too long in the oven #fb

link

#

This day is amazingly slow

link

#

I must sadly conclude that “The Wine-Dark Sea” is the last good Aubrey-Maturin novel.

link

#

Deleted the foursquare app. Not prepared to delete to account just yet though.

link

#

Maybe NASDAQ should be delisted?

link

#

Visst är “ultrarapid” en konstig term för något som ska vara långsamt? #fb

link

#

Big surprise, Macromedia Flash video hangs Chrome. Yahoo! page too, completing the fail trifecta.

link

#

Looks like hopefully Leo’s #Diablo3 issues are solved… fingers crossed

link

#

Nope, spoke too soon… still crashes hard

link

#

How did it take me so long to discover @baconmeteor? I fail the internet.

link

#

Some quick googling shows me that #WinSCP is the solution for us to snag files from a Linux host #work

link

#

I have only contempt for my younger self who didn’t appreciate The New Pornographers. The back of my hand to me!

link

#

Mildly perplexed by this ep of Desperate Housewives, trying hard not to get involved in thinking about it

link

#

Connecting to Armenia, listening to The New Pornographers #work

link

#

Att Pär Nuder avslöjar sig som amoralisk opportunist kan väl inte förvåna någon? #svpol

link

#

mind blown, @BretEastonEllis referencing a @billybrag song

link

#

I’m idly wondering whether my stepson has someone to queue with for #Diablo3 or if he’s auditioning for being #foreveralone

link

#

Monitoring my son’s homecoming from school by checking the Minecraft server logs

link

#

…and here he is!

link

#

whoah he’s banning like a mofo! what have I created!?

link

#

At breakfast today: 4 people voted for Sweden joining the EUR in the ’94 ref, 4 people who said “wow we dodged a bullet” (including me)

link

#

``no copyright intended’’ – motto of our times!

link

#

watching my son through his interaction with the Minecraft server running on my host #moderntimes

link

#

wow installing Java on Freebsd it pretty involved…

link

#

If this epic “make” fails I will be sad :(

link

#

Fuck yeah The Soundtrack of Our Lives

link

#

is there a way to expand t.co URLs in @ttytter?

link

#

Happy that my customers in Ukraine and Armenia will enjoy a day off tomorrow #work

link

#

Thanks Twitter, I now know Maurice Sendak has passed. Please do not mention it any more. Thank you.

link

#

Trots mitt gnäll om svenska Twitter vore det coolt att få Superettan-resultat via Twitter. Någon?

link

#

Surprised there’s no relevant hits for “vehicles in William Gibson’s fiction”.

link

#

It’s a sad indictment for the idea of Scandinavism that it’s easier to communicate with Danes in English…

link

#

Shorter reactions to elections in #France and #Greece: it would be much easier to protect global finance without this pesky democracy

link

#

“Alla” med Twitterkonto i Sverige har kalsingarna i kors eftersom Reinfeldt kallat dom gnällspikar. Jag anser att han har rätt.

link

#

Ledsen politiktwittrare men ert intresse är ett särintresse bland andra

link

#

Politiker måste ta hänsyn till fler grupper än folk med Twitter.

link

#

You’d think with the Great Depression as a given that the Very Serious People in charge of the world wouldn’t make the same mistake again.

link

#

Neo-nazis in #Greece, savage repression of protests in #Russia, but it’s the “socialist” in #France that will get the press

link

#

Sorry for the twitspam but I’m pretty mad right now.

link

#

So far this Monday has lived up to the horrible expectations I had for it

link

#

Listening to the opening tracks from the albums by @kittythefool. Calms me down some

link

#

Well this hasn’t been a very productive week. Short, though #work

link

#

Once again the Austerians run up against that little pesky thing called Democracy.

link

#

Off to pick up prescription meds for the wife

link

#

Snagged a used copy of Crackdown for the 3rd time (stepson sold the others for new games). Man I love that game…
