Tipsy thoughts, 3:41am in a cab.

This doesn’t qualify for a a full on Drunken Thoughts post, but it’ll do.

I just spent the last couple hours sitting next to some guy in Omega, trying to seem interested but not crazy too-interested. He spent the last couple hours talking catty with his friend about people in the bar and making me laugh —to myself mostly, I probably wasn’t supposed to be listening to them, cause that’d be kind of eavesdropping and creepy-like. His friend totally busted me a few times and repeated a few comments for my benefit. That was a good sign, I think. I tried to interact, but I felt like a dork for some reason, so I didn’t say much.

The lights flickered. the bartender shouted “last call” and we wound up walking back down P Street in close proximity but not together, if you know what I mean. We talked a little during the walk, at Dupont Circle I turned right and they went left. I missed the train. and suddenly had to pee.

Real bad.

At this hour it was either Kramerbooks or Annie’s, since that’s all I know that’s open with a public restroom. I’m still boycotting Kramer’s so I decided on Annie’s.

I was alone so once I got to Annie’s I requested a seat at the bar rather than waste a four-top during the closing time rush.

Of course, I ended up getting a stool a few seats away from them. I heard his friend say “ask him if he missed his train”, but I was never spoken to. I just sat there eating my burger and fries, wishing I would have brought a book to occupy my mind or at least brought the nerve to tell him I missed the train myself.

Literally and figuratively.

I’m home, so I will now say goodnight.

Goodnight.

Americas worst breakfast foods

Many thanks go to Alberto for terrorizing me with this list of Americas worst breakfast foods.

if loving it is wrong, I don’t want to be right.

It just had to be done, OK.

I hope she doesn’t die (dot com).

Grey Gardens quoting twitter bots. This is what I do with my free time

I was looking for different twitter tools and found a site that had code for a simple twitter bot. Of course, I started brainstorming for something to do with it. I thought maybe something Project Runway related, but then thought.. no, there’s only so many times someone wants to get “Make it work” sent to them.

So.

I’m still copying and pasting lines of the movie in, but I have enough for a few of weeks without getting repeats. At least, for little_edie. big_edie just didn’t have as much screen time, unless you want me to put in the lyrics for “Tea for Two”. :)

They’re sent out twice a day via twitter, but you don’t need a twitter account. After I add more I’ll figure out a way to get a quote on demand. or maybe search for quotes :)

Obligatory disclaimer: Normal SMS message rates will apply. :)

send follow big_edie or follow little_edie to 40404 to subscribe.

Note: a few messages are sent from one bot to the other, so you have to be subscribed to both of them to get those.

9/16: Oops, a bit of a misconfiguration caused it to send out a slew of messages this morning. Fixed
