Fri 3:55pm Sitting by the Olentangy river with my bike and some La Bamba quesadillas. Ahh. #
Fri 5:15pm Rode 12 miles along the river. Time to head home. #

Wed 2:51pm sitting at Easton Cup O Joe listening to them play good early-80s music. A day that makes me tempted to find the nearest swimming pool. #

Tue 6:53pm always slightly disconcerted when the interstate traffic next to our garage is at a standstill. #
Tue 8:46pm Bet the people stuck on I-70 would enjoy an ice cream truck. Or an engine coolant truck. #

Sat 11:50pm Decided that a fire on the ground with friends in the country beats fireworks in the sky. #
Sat 11:55pm Got an entire wedding/honeymoon trip reserved without knowing on exactly which of those days we'll get married. Gotta keep SOME spontaneity! #
Sun 2:42pm So Clintonville wants a roundabout on High Street? Ugh. Obviously they haven't tried to drive in NW Dublin lately. #
Sun 6:41pm Nevermind on the roundabout. Apparently Columbus killed it recently. Yay. (Guess N Broadway people didn't get the memo.) is.gd/1ohkF #

Sat 1:16pm looking into airplane schedules/costs for the first time in about 5 years or so. Amazed at how many airlines are still in business. #
Sat 1:53pm ... or we could take a train, but that'd require leaving Cleveland (not Columbus!) at 3 or 4 in the morning. #
Sat 2:41pm has plane reservation. Also has car reservation. No trains. #
Sat 4:12pm staying 5 nights in a yurt in a park near Golden CO; probably 1 night in Boulder before that. Need to decide where to spend the last night. #

Tue 9:53am slightly overwhelmed by my email this morning. Must be time to get off a mailing list. #
Tue 1:12pm finally managed to fix one of the minor problems contributing to my recent flood of email. #
Wed 11:09pm Had an exhausting afternoon/evening. First unexpected (though not entirely surprising) cat trauma, then dad's (expected) birthday dinner. #
Thu 4:03pm helped friends move some furniture four blocks. Hanging out at UA library until it's time to pick up a cat from the vet. #
Thu 5:17pm sitting in library noticing that Ohio citizens are clamoring not to have services cut, while state leg & governor just argue over gambling. #
Thu 7:39pm Failed my "pill a cat" roll. Need to buy the skill with some experience points. #
Fri 8:41am Stepped on a sewing needle on the bedroom floor. It'd been lost in the living room. No wonder we couldn't find it before. #
Fri 2:19pm just noticed that LoudTwitter is down and maybe dead. Possibly good news to people on Facebook seeing my daily updates again every day. #
Fri 5:18pm wrote a Perl script, to run on my own server, to sorta replace LoudTwitter. (I won't try to set up my own replacement service though.) #
Fri 6:52pm After MJ's death, Palin decided she needed to restore the world's level of bizarreness. #
Sat 7:22am Wide awake a bit too early for a Saturday. I blame that bright yellow thing in the east. Making tea for Sydney so she can be wide awake too! #

09:47 twitpic.com/8r6zm - I think the cats missed us this weekend. #
22:04 had a great afternoon hanging out with an old friend. Then made spicy tacos.... maybe get the 4oz can of chipotles instead of 7oz next time. #

13:30 not going to Comfest today. Worn out from two full days there. Though the crowd won't be as dense as yesterday. #
21:24 love watching summer sunsets out here. #

11:55 Comfest day 2. Made it to the gazebo in time for The Vague. #
12:36 How many bands would close their set with the pair of Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy" followed by Led Zeppelin's "Communication Breakdown"? #
14:26 Karate Coyote attracting quite a crowd to Comfest's offramp stage. Too bad that stage's sound quality sucks. #
16:13 Can't escape the Comfest smokers. #
18:38 Only managed to catch the last couple songs of Colin Gawel & The Lonely Bones, but they sounded great. Closed with Born To Run. #
22:21 Left Comfest before dark, tired and worn out and sweaty. Saturday is always so packed, but there's good people-watching and good music. #
