November 2008
Every time I wake up early to watch a Chelsea match, we lose. I suppose I’ll have to stay in bed to help my team… bittersweet.
Spot-on rant by @dalepd about why news is bad on economic crisis. It’s geared for horse races and showy disasters. http://tinyurl.com/555wvd
Good grief. Arsenal score two quick ones, and Chelsea look anaemic right now.
Just phoned my four-year-old nephew back home to wish him happy birthday.
When writing about suicide, we give few details in case of copycats. cf UTTERLY explicit Telegraph story. Astounded. http://icanhaz.com/SWTF
Well, the Sunday Times often goes on total fliers… for all Sunday papers, being talked about is often more important than being right.
Back from afternoon at the beach with leftovers, kites, kids and dolphins.
Watching TV show about burgers. I love those little meaty bits of heaven, but good grief - some of these things are seriously big.
Congratulations to @nmcintosh and Mary - and seven-hour old baby McIntosh!
Last day of week off. Lucky - I’m still in a food coma.

Fairly sensible list of things (tablet, opening iTunes to rivals)
About to head to San Anselmo for Thanksgiving foods. Watching the Macy’s parade on Tivo to get in the mood. It’s failing to do the job.
That’s it: this video wins the internet - time for the rest of us to go home. http://icanhaz.com/increiblemente

Fixing up the @guardiantech feed and then notice that the sink in the bathroom has blocked + overflowed. Plus our oven’s broken. Sad face.
Galacto-tron (our Roomba) just knocked something over, setting in motion a Domino Rally which ended with a picture frame being smashed. Boo.
It seems TV series Gladiators is ditching spandex for some serious 300 shiznit. http://icanhaz.com/gladiators … FOR SPARTAAAAAA!!!!!!!!
“Chubby Checker recorded a psychedelic album in the early 1970s that was initially only released in Germany.”
Got my soon-to-be four-year-old nephew a bunch of Dr Seuss books for his birthday. This makes me happy.

Just flirted with the Fail Whale. I think my last message broke Twitter. http://icanhaz.com/obamabook
Yay! The Guardian’s Message For Obama has been turned into a book! Don’t know if I made the cut, but yay @megp! http://icanhaz.com/obamabook

“Unconferences” that charge large sums of money to attend… should I avoid on principle, or am I being too cynical about their motives?
Plotting. Plotting what, you say? Why… world domination, of course.
Matinee idols: to our left, a man who repeated funny lines out loud; to our right, a man afflicted with excessive and decibellious laughter.
Thanks all for the insurance advice. Some of us don’t fit into the system easily! Wish I didn’t HAVE to drive (never learned in UK).
ps Whoever called me at 5.30 this morning? Thanks.

Gah, I’m looking at vertigo-inducingly high car insurance premiums here. Anyone got any tips or recommendations?
I am plotting how to best enjoy the next seven days - a whole week off work!
I vote to ban the word ‘productize’ now.
heading to youtube live
I did driving!
OK, general consensus seems to be ‘link to the best bits, but not everything’. The will of the people shall be carried out forthwith.
It was, thankfully, what I was thinking about in the first place. Thanks to all who replied!
Themes in Gmail? Do not want.
happy birthday @trammell - tried to find you @digg last night, but have NO IDEA what you look like sans beard
note to self: threatening bin men with a samurai sword is no way to get your recycling taken away.
Watching bad TV, but just found out about fecal bacteriotherapy administered through a nasogastral tube. Eat shit and live!
Question: would linking to all my Guardian work here feel douchey or not? No offence to m’colleagues - it’s just that I don’t do that stuff.
