  2. So, a Dutch footballer broke a rival’s leg in a hard tackle; rare to see my last name smeared in English-language media: http://is.gd/fIvJy 7:35 AM Oct 3rd, 2010 via Twitter for iPhone
  3. Putting URLs into the browser search bar automatically makes me feel dumber. Each & every time. 2:13 PM Jul 5th, 2010 via Tweetie for Mac
  4. @hexive Thanks! Been off the grid lately, doing 20th C things like taking trains & reading…soon gonna churn butter, maybe buy my own still. 9:39 AM Apr 29th, 2010 via Twitter for iPhone in reply to hexive
  5. @viviyanwong Sweet! Is that some Wii Clone Wars? Also, check your email. 10:56 AM Apr 26th, 2010 via Twitter for iPhone in reply to viidub
  6. @map_maker Good—keepin’ busy. Staying in a residence but net is poor. That, plus work & no mobile web has muted my online ramblings of late. 10:43 AM Apr 21st, 2010 via Twitter for iPhone in reply to map_maker
  7. @map_maker Great & fancy new avatar! Haven't been around to say so—but am now (briefly). 10:32 AM Apr 21st, 2010 via Twitter for iPhone in reply to map_maker
  8. Just learnt from @ghubacek about Guru. There's (really) No More Mr Nice Guy. #ripguru 11:50 AM Apr 20th, 2010 via Twitter for iPhone in reply to ghubacek
  9. In Geneva, emails are like Christmas presents—they only come when you are actually sleeping. For real. (Damn you, timezones.) 10:03 PM Apr 3rd, 2010 via Twitter for iPhone
  10. @kittenthebad But before I even say anything! @notmatt is right, wore t-shirt & jeans on the plane—I was effectively ‘wearing’ Anglo & Co. 12:02 PM Apr 1st, 2010 via Twitter for iPhone in reply to catehstn
  11. Why am I approached by people in Europe speaking French—I understand every word—but they switch to English with me? They know! But how? 11:13 AM Apr 1st, 2010 via Birdhouse
  12. Watching Wanda Sykes & drinking hot tea is a good recipe for a scalding incident. (Read: Hilarious.) 11:11 AM Apr 1st, 2010 via Birdhouse
  13. @kittenthebad Just 6 months; they don't hire directly, so won't stay. Will continue to follow you & @map_maker, then meet again in the fall! 7:00 AM Mar 29th, 2010 via Twitter for iPhone in reply to catehstn
