  • Catch 22: Can’t make breakfast without clean dishes, can’t clean dishes with no energy/food. 😛 #
  • @ch3ryl Or in the near term: practice for parenthood. 😉 in reply to ch3ryl #
  • @jayrosen_nyu Blogging *is* just a tool (or a platform, as I prefer to think of it) but it’s also a *culture*. I know you’ll tell them… in reply to jayrosen_nyu #
  • Listening to discussion of Raleigh’s new anti-sprawl plan on WUNC (izzat you, @dtraleigh?). Here’s a clue: look @ Chapel Hill & Carrboro. #
  • Drove to Fresh Market just for clementines (on a tip from @gregoryng) and they’re closed. *@?@!$* #
  • @jreesnc No, closed b/c of electrical problem. @pattichasevan I think those are some other tangerines at TJs. in reply to jreesnc #
  • @cwhittle Just get a skin-tight cover for the whole thing. in reply to cwhittle #
  • @JamieBort Manichevitz mix works well for me, but it’s not hard to do matzo ball soup from scratch. #

  • @minorjive Same with my multimedia keyboard. Unfortuanately, Mac has a set of iTunes commands it understands that aren’t universal. Very M$. in reply to minorjive #

  • @skeskali Have you tried RescueTime? Or do you mean something like Harvest? in reply to skeskali #
  • @smalljones A friend gets cable from November to April each year. But not every game is televised, especially women’s. #unc #basektball in reply to smalljones #
  • Tuning in to WCHL in hopes that tonight’s Big 10/ACC women’s basketball game will at least be on the radio. Sounds like no. ☹ #
  • @monicarolevans Different for each person/blog. But if you can’t tell, yr not doing it right. in reply to monicarolevans #
  • @josephrschwartz Thanks! I don’t get why the don’t stream games online anyway. in reply to josephrschwartz #
  • So far this Tarheel pre-game show has been 30 min abt whether Hansbrough will play & 15 min abt everything else. Like it matters. Move on! #
  • Also very sick of how the TV replays (uncontested) baskets instead of controversial calls. Save the highlights for later, ESPN. #basketball #
  • Final score: UNC 98, Mich St. 63. As I said: it didn’t matter if Hansbrough (25 points) played or not. #basketball #
