Twittering my life away, one line at a time

cabridges That isn't just mundane minutiae of everyday life that nobody could possibly care about. It's Twitter!

cabridges Mulling over wardrobe choices, which means socks that match as long as I wear thigh-high boots. Success! Wait, one's a glove...

cabridges Twitter is the hottest new Internet social trend, which means it's been around since last summer and the media has finally noticed.

cabridges It's a microblog, or group IM. You post messages for anyone to see, and people can friend you or just subscribe to your ramblings.

cabridges Speeding when workers are present is evil, according to the signs on I-4. What if the workers are goofing off? Can I wing one?

Chris, that just appeared on my LJ flist and it took me a few seconds to stop trying to understand it and just start reading it! I laughed like crazy. You are a genius. [Big Grin]

booktwo is tweeting the novel "Ulysses" a line every 15 minutes, for your daily required intake of surrealism.
That ... would do it. [Smile]

For awhile last week I had alternating tweets of "Ulysses" and WootOff alerts. It was... disconcerting...

I'm here, for any twitters interested in inflating my friends list. Love me! Love me now!

Wow, I'd not heard of this before. I got stuck staring at the map thing for about five minutes before I tore myself away.

Google corrected my spelling of "badonkadonk." I don't know how writers managed before the Internet.

There is a store in Orlando that sells only mayonnaise. The apocalypse is upon us, and it involves cholesterol.
Those and your brilliant running gag. I love it. The idea of Twitter, not so much, but the column is great. [Smile]

My wife called me from the road last week to tell me, in horrified tones, that there was a store in Orlando that sold just mayonnaise. I starting laughing and asked what it was called.

"Just Mayonnaise"! she said, somewhat frantically.

We agree it was a portent of evil.

That's the kind of news loving spouses don't share, isn't it? I mean, really, if I loved my ex-husband, I wouldn't want to bring him into hell with me, would I.

/pre-coffee maunderings and snort-choke-giggle herbal tea laughs at yet another amazing column.
