November 2007
Discovery: I can enable/disable my car alarm from my office, and can hear the horn honk to confirm it. Fun.
I update with tweets. / but have I sent a haiku tweet? / I don’t think so, no.
How have I never noticed that “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” and the tune of singing the alphabet are the same song? I find that a bit odd.
Things that disorient: Hearing your manager scream “OH MY GOD” very loudly at 8am. Fortunately, nothing was broken, but still, disorienting.
Wondering why I seem to have lost all drive to blog, and if somehow, Twitter has kind of filled the gap. I mean, it is a microblog of sorts.
I have discovered that I have two friends who take naps in their cars during lunch breaks. Is this a common practice? Am I missing out here?

The name alone makes me happy - I’m going to have to check this thing out.
Things that irk me: People using punctuation in pairs. An ellipsis is three periods, not two.. Is that a typo? Also, double-question-marks??
Late nights are fun, but suck when coupled with the reality of a 7am work time. Worth it, nonetheless, good times. :)
I love driving at this time of night.
Spent some time procrastinating today, reading websites on how to help myself not procrastinate as much. Ironic?

I wish every weekend were a four-day weekend. Back to the grind.
Heading out to get a part to fix my toilet that James broke last might. Good job, sir. :D
Many hours of Rock Ban, and now we’re a world-famous band! JMW on guitar, his brother on bass, me on drums. My arms are sore now. Good times
Happy Thanksgiving, twitter people! :D

I’m trying out Flock. Such a great web browser. It’s Firefox + social web, in awesome ways.
Today is moving at a ridiculously slow pace. Is it can be home tiem plz?

My scale just showed 237 pounds. I haven’t shown up under 240 in over 7 years. I think I’m on the verge of tears of joy.

Rock Band acquired, in my trunk! Just have to wait till I go home to play. Woo!!!
Heading to the dog park!
Six people over, playing Wario Ware on the Wii - so fun!
QOTD (re: Instant status/twitter-type updates): I don’t need to read about (person) having sex with a goat the moment it happens.
brianarn: Sometimes I wonder if my Twitter feed ever bores people to tears. I mean, I don’t exactly do a ton of interesting things, y’know?
brianarn: Don’t you hate those days where you feel like you’re starving? I haven’t eaten more than I need, thankfully, but I still feel super hungry.
brianarn: So, apparently I don’t know how to text anyone directly anymore. Oops
brianarn: Houston? Out of town again already?
brianarn: Oop - that was @madmup
brianarn: On way home now, maybe can get with ya online in an hourish.
brianarn: The vending machine says 55 cents for the diet coke, but it’s only charging me 50. Am I stealing?

brianarn: A big project of mine at work has apparently started randomly dropping data. This is very, *very* bad. Horribly bad. Fear-in-my-soul bad.
brianarn: Wondering why Twitter hasn’t sent me half of the tweets from friends lately.
brianarn: Major bug found, testing in progress to ensure eradication. Feeling 99.9% sure it has been eliminated. In other news, brain go dead splat.
