The week in Twitter 2009-02-15
- Spending the day discharging my various ‘Papa, fix it with tape!’-related duties. #
- Turns out that hurling the “universal” remote to the floor in a rage is unlikely to correct the shortcoming in its universality. #
- Rockwell-scale-defyingly hard new orthopedic mattress = next best thing to a spine transplant. Now if only the boys would let us sleep on it #
- Hoping, really and truly deeply hoping, the $40 part I just ordered will make buying a new computer unnecessary. #
- Early morning, out-of-season Grinch viewing at request of flu-y kid. Soon-to-be-flu-y little brother enjoying it too. Candy cane nostalgia. #
- @erikras: so, you’re not taking your own passport photos at home, where you have a modicum of control over whether you look terminally ill? in reply to erikras #
- Watching my boys totally rock out to William Shatner’s masterful reinterpretation of Pulp’s ‘Common People’. All 3 are magnificent dorks. #
- Had been deeply dreading tonight’s parent-teacher conferences, but my Frank Costanza approach precluded dissent and thoroughly paid off. #
