The Closet of Empty Calories: Facebook is a walk-in pantry overflowing with sugary and fatty foods; you can lose yourself in there.
The Candy Dish: Twitter is a vast bowl of very tiny sweets. You could eat just one. But it’s hard not to read or post “just one more”.

ME: i can’t buy much bread; i spent most of my cash on the booze. NIK: i’ve been waiting my whole life for my daddy to say that.
VerizonWireless GPS is smart enough to warn me of a “traffic incident 4 miles ahead”, but does not suggest an alternate route.
checking out OnyX 2, the free system utility for Mac OS X. (bookmarks: http://twurl.nl/ehhdqe)
using @Twechie to occasionally point out other technology focused microblogs on Twitter.
at midnight in Maryland we await the dawn and shopping for gourmet supplies in the big city, before continuing the trek back to @HearthHill.
after getting stalled out by the holidays, attempting to jump start a few web design projects.
4 o’clock in the afternoon, and i’m eating a fresh Philadelphia soft pretzel for breakfast (like a salt bagel). this is the day after X-mas.
3 o’clock in the morning, can’t sleep. in Mom’s kitchen, eating a second slice of the best apple pie in the world. this is X-mas.
sampling @AlasdairCelt’s ‘07 Merlot, before dinner. heavy, dark & yummy. your first Merlot!?! wondering what another year in oak would add.
after the starless midnight mountain sky, now driving due east, i am confused by twilight ahead. at 1am, it’s Baltimore in the distance.
entrusting my home to the fates, Nik and i load the ‘wagon, and point ourselves down winter’s highway, bound for the northeast.
just lost electric power @HearthHill. the utility gods are all up in my bizness, this week.
tentatively but rather excitedly taking advantage of “all mod cons”, plumbingwise. niiiiice technology, gooood plumbing, be my friend?

day 2 without running water, dirty dishes stacked by the bone dry basin.
still frozen pipes have me frozen in place. can’t really think about packing for our little road trip, until this is resolved.
with the furnace cranked to 90+, to thaw our old house, we dress in t-shirts & shorts to stay cool, with wool socks treading a frigid floor.

awoke to frozen pipes. i’m heating up the Well House, now. over a month of wintery weather with no problems made me complacent, it seems.
Twittering Dickens →
“aims to retweet the works of Charles Dickens through Twitter, a micro-blogging client that limits each entry to 140 characters.”
celebrating the solstice with Nik by shooting at each other with plastic “Super Powered Shot Foam Disc Launchers”. uh oh, outta ammo. ouch!
sashaying snow swirls this way, then that, turning the green landscape into a white solstice diorama @HearthHill.

i shudder a little everytime i have to Force Quit a browser with 100 open tabs, representing the mess of work-in-progress on my desktop.
the guest room in the Log House @HearthHill is so much closer to the furnace, that i must strip off a layer to go in there and visit Nik.
a sunshower in the winter rainforest. i listen to the Urban Verbs May 2008 performance at the 930 Club.
([Mykl x 5 days] - @c8h10o2n4) + (Mykl x [6oz dark coffee]) = chatter^2 = @MudCelt can’t escape my conversational “skills”.
chatttering @MudCelt’s ear off about: setting up free domain email hosting with Gmail; Etsy; and why she’s THE go-to potter for yarn bowls.
closing the door on the restocked ‘frig of tastiness’, staring into the echoing wasteland of my wallet.
staring at the flourescent glow of an empty ‘frig’, the rumbly in my tumbly says “drive into town”.
thinking Twitter is where i doodle with words.
the fetor of naked DVDs fecundates my office. (somebody erase this thesaurus from my hard drive!)
