Statusey


Like my fellow blogsters, I often neglect this medium in favor of screwing around on Facebook.

Because, I mean, there's just so much going on in my life, it's easier to keep everyone informed about critical happenings with quick, updated status messages. They're convenient, single-serving packets of info that everyone can easily digest in seconds.

To illustrate, here's a snapshot of about a week's worth of critical status messages.
  • Jennifer says The New Phone Book's Here! The New Phone Book's Here! The sun has come out! He hates these clouds!
  • Jennifer likes the sangiovese.
  • Jennifer is giddy about the new season of Flight of the Conchords.
  • Jennifer thought she knew who the 5th cylon is... but now she's not so sure. [scooby doo noise].
  • Jennifer thinks the blues in French sounds stupid. And what would the French know about the blues, anyway, with all that great food, wine and chocolate? Please.
  • Jennifer picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.
  • Jennifer doesn't want to cause a panic, but there appears to be a Battlestar Gallactica marathon going on (in BC, anyway). It's back tonight! Huzzah!
  • Jennifer finds it's easier to work uninterrupted late at night, just like at an office. But I can wear my jammies here. Or a prom dress. Doesn't matter.
  • Jennifer is glad everyone got off the plane that landed in the Hudson River.
  • Jennifer is suddenly very busy. Drought or firehose - is there *no* middle ground?
  • Jennifer is waiting for the bird to shut the hell up. Maybe it's time to drug his birdy pellets.
  • Jennifer is off to the Land of Nod.
  • Jennifer is amazed that WA passed a law to rename King county for another King. The first one wasn't good enough, eh? Redonkulous.
  • Jennifer is learning a new CMS. Mmm... content management. Yummy.
  • Jennifer can say she's tried the Take 5 coffee. Meh.
  • Jennifer is off to see the wizard. The wonderful wizard of Id.
  • Jennifer is bored of the manatee-written 24 scripts. But it was fun to watch Jack punch someone in the face.
  • Jennifer just got a little nauseated watching Bush smugly talk about his time in office. Forever a vile douchebag - don't let the door hit you on the way out.
  • Jennifer is all excited about King 5 News and her imaginary favorite aunt, Jean Enerson.
  • Jennifer is thinking someone spilled a coke on a Facebook server. Shit is sloooooooooow today.
  • Jennifer can't decide what to have for breakfast.
  • Jennifer is bummed that our sweet weekend is at a close... but happy about Mickey winnin the globe. Springsteen, too!
  • Jennifer is going to be a background performer, or selected parts of her, as directed by the director.
  • Jennifer is growing increasingly peeved about the Canadian pronunciation of Yahoo. It's not yeah-hoo - it's YAH-hoo - get it right. It's not Cah-neah-duh, is it?
  • Jennifer would like to have a word with the jet stream.
  • Jennifer loves that The Wrestler was written by a former Onion Editor in Chief. Loved the movie. More Mickey!
  • Jennifer is going to see The Wrestler... I've missed that rascal Mr. Roarke. Wait, not *that* Mr. Roarke. "De plane!"
  • Jennifer says "It's "more important," not "more importantly!" Yeeeeaaaaaaaaooooooo!
As you can see, it's a wonder I found a spare few minutes to make this post. With a dance card this full, it won't be long before I have an intern taking over The Nootsmaak.

New Crazy Time Suck


So, as Rooty noticed earlier this month, I've been posting more frequently lately. I've had enough on my mind to post something daily and it's been fun to challenge myself to continue the trend.

And then Jeannie had to go and start a game of Scrabulous with me on Facebook.

I'd signed up with FB last year to stay in touch with folks I'd met through my last job and it seemed like another handy way to stay connected with friends and coworkers. I had no idea how many fun little widgets it has, ready to rob you of every last minute of your day.

Today I was so engrossed in my game of Scrabble, I was hoping my 3pm photoshoot would be rescheduled. This is a dangerous sign. And I must admit, I did not shower today. I don't know if I'll ever shower again.
