Twitter Weekly Updates for 2010-01-30

Just saw DOUBLE INDEMNITY for the 1st time. Yeah, she's a 2-timing, double crossing dame, but I'd play the sucker for Barbara Stanwyck. #
Waiting for bus that'll take me to vet's office. They forgot to pack two of Matisse's meds. Oops! #
To be fair, the front was VERY hectic when nurse was going over meds w/ me – more so than usual. Don't blame her for being distracted. #
Thankfully someone is in office this morning so I can pick it up,head straight home & get scratched up trying to give the liquid to Matisse. #
@shawnp0wers Please do. How far is Bay City from you? Maybe I can send family members to keep an eye on things. in reply to shawnp0wers #
@sotsogm Matisse is doing okay, but his blood glucose is so high it's affecting his kidneys, plus he has a bladder infection. in reply to sotsogm #
@sotsogm Gonna do meds over the next week to see how he responds, then back to vet for follow-up. #
@sotsogm I'll post details elsewhere once I'm at a keyboard. Thank you so much for your concern. I really appreciate it. #
@danweiser Well, I would suggest a certain farm, but I think she's a little too far east. in reply to danweiser #
@sotsogm You may have mentioned it,yes. CFN loves DI too. I think I may now have fond feelings for it as well. Stanwyck! McMurray! Robinson! in reply to sotsogm #
Ok,why was the previous bus home right on time, which caused me to barely miss it after picking up meds, but this one is nearly 10 min late. #
C'mon, bus home! I have a cat to medicate! #
@danweiser Then maybe a write-in campaign needs to be organized? in reply to danweiser #
Hey. Right after tweeting about late bus, it showed up. Maybe I shoulda tweeted earlier? #
http://twitpic.com/zkj6c – @sotsogm Whereas we're all bright & sunny here again. Oh, how I've missed the sun. #
@danweiser *raises Spockian eyebrow* Good to know… in reply to danweiser #
@sotsogm Oh, didn't I tell y'all? I'm just in a really Americanized part of Tehran… in reply to sotsogm #
@sotsogm Actually, I just never changed the location back to L.A. after changing it to Tehran in solidarity w/ the Iran protests. in reply to sotsogm #
@sotsogm That pic is down the street from Universal Studios, in my old neighborhood that I still miss 3.5 years after moving. in reply to sotsogm #
As predicted, Matisse was not pleased about antibiotic. Seemed fine with the vitamins & appetite stimulant, though.May have to get creative. #
@Stonekettle I wish I knew. The liquid vitamins are beef flavored, which he took ok. I wonder what would happen if I mixed the two… in reply to Stonekettle #
@Stonekettle I mean, I have to give him both at the same time anyway. Can't hurt, might help. in reply to Stonekettle #
@mfheadcase Liquid. Annoying as hell, but the vet thinks the liquid will work best for Matisse. in reply to mfheadcase #
@mfheadcase That's what I use – the tough part is opening the little bugger's – er, I mean, the little sweetheart's mouth. in reply to mfheadcase #
@mfheadcase He's got STRONG jaw muscles. He may be part pit bull. But thank you for the recommendation! in reply to mfheadcase #
@mfheadcase Unfortunately, I am all too familiar w/ giving liquid antibiotics – have done it for other cats in the past. in reply to mfheadcase #
@mfheadcase I just sit behind him & scootch him up against me so he has nowhere to go, then pry open mouth from above. in reply to mfheadcase #
@mfheadcase I told the vet my technique & he agreed that was pretty much the only way to do it. Matisse just won't open that mouth! in reply to mfheadcase #
@mfheadcase Yeah, Matisse has a bladder infection now, due to diabetic complications. His diabetes seems to be getting worse. in reply to mfheadcase #
@mfheadcase Matisse is neutered. He is also the friendliest cat you'll ever meet – he loves EVERYONE. in reply to mfheadcase #
@mfheadcase But he won't keep his head still for the antibiotics. He is remarkably like me – friendly but stubborn. *sigh* in reply to mfheadcase #
@sotsogm @Stonekettle I'm the Tenth Doctor too! (Mmmm, David Tennant…) in reply to sotsogm #
@hentosz The only Dr. Who I've really watched any of is David Tennant. Never got into the others. in reply to hentosz #
@hentosz Would love to see Peter Cushing's Dr. Who (fully understanding they're considered non-canon): http://bit.ly/5GpTkG in reply to hentosz #
@sotsogm @Stonekettle @jerisisco So…you're an asshole who supported Sonny Bono? Hmmm… in reply to sotsogm #
@Stonekettle @sotsogm I'd say my head would explode over the dictionary banning, but it's Riverside County. I am not surprised. #
@sotsogm I have seen some horrific movies due to my love of certain actors. I'm sure they're better than LAWNMOWER MAN II: JOBE'S REVENGE. in reply to sotsogm #
@sotsogm And yes, I've rented LMII: JR multiple times. On purpose. Willingly. Damn that Matt Frewer! in reply to sotsogm #
@Stonekettle @sotsogm Never saw it. But I can take or leave Sean Connery. Matt Frewer, on the other hand… Simply adore him. in reply to Stonekettle #
@sotsogm @Stonekettle I think the soundtrack for HIGHLANDER is so good it tricked people into thinking the movie was good. in reply to sotsogm #
@jerisisco @sotsogm @Stonekettle Yay teen boy squad! That is AWESOMFANTACULAR! in reply to jerisisco #
@Stonekettle @jerisisco *snerk* in reply to Stonekettle #
@sotsogm @jerisisco @Stonekettle I love you guys. (And Dan Savage…) in reply to sotsogm #
Matisse has decided he's not hating me at the moment – he's come to lie down beside me on the sofa. Small victories are good ones. #
He's still not his usual self, but I'm hoping that the continued meds will change that. #
@sotsogm I think I just threw up a little in my mouth. in reply to sotsogm #
http://twitpic.com/zlxi6 – Matisse hanging out on the sofa next to me. Poor stressed, sick, dandruffy kitty… #
@veganbakesale That was on the side of the road? So jealous. Glad it found a good home! in reply to veganbakesale #
http://twitpic.com/zlzv6 – An actual vet at my veterinary clinic. Not Matisse's vet, though. Maybe just as well. #
@shawnp0wers Take it easy & don't push it. in reply to shawnp0wers #
I entered the SUPERFAN Sweepstakes to meet the @MythBusters because #IMASUPERFAN ! http://www.discovery.com/mythbusters #
Checking out a little KINGDOM OF THE SPIDERS action on DVD. CFN did a nice bit of work on it, some of it even on camera. #
@sotsogm Oh, you're very welcome. Hmmm, maybe CFN & I need to go to Cruzer Pizza…http://bit.ly/5L9fWS So yummy! #nom in reply to sotsogm #
@sotsogm Not bad… There's some really good veggie sausage that Cruzer uses on their pizza. in reply to sotsogm #
@sotsogm If I had my druthers, it'd be tomatoes, mushrooms, garlic, onions, olives & veggie sausage. Mmm… CFN hates tomatoes/mushrooms. in reply to sotsogm #
@sotsogm Revolution has some great veggie toppings – kalamata olives & arugula? Artichokes? Sauteed mushrooms? Giving me ideas… in reply to sotsogm #
@tmullens There, there! in reply to tmullens #
@sotsogm I haven't had it yet, but I've made my own that's really good. in reply to sotsogm #
@sotsogm Now I'm getting hungry. Where is that boyfriend of mine? I'm ready for dinner NOW! in reply to sotsogm #
@sotsogm Oh, that pizza looks so close to being nomtastic. Methinks I'm gonna make a little grilled Daiya cheese sandwich… in reply to sotsogm #
@sotsogm Just turned on Food Network's "Best Thing I Ever Ate." The subject? Pizza. Resistance is futile. #
@sotsogm And we just had yummy pizza on Friday! Must have more! in reply to sotsogm #
Okay, Marc Summers just dissed all pizzas in L.A. He needs to just shut up. We got some great pizza out here. #
http://twitpic.com/zmmn3 – This is the pizza CFN & I had on Friday, from Pizza Fusion Hollywood. Totally vegan. Totally yummy. #
@sotsogm Yay "Eye of the Tiger" mouse! in reply to sotsogm #
@quarrygirl Yes. Yes it is. (I like the Bayou Chickin' best, though.) in reply to quarrygirl #
@Stonekettle THE FOUNTAIN is what I call an interesting failure. I don't think it ultimately succeeds, but it sure is a fascinating ride. in reply to Stonekettle #
@mariancall That would probably bug me too. I'd end up making/buying a divider to block the sight. in reply to mariancall #
@kspidel Heh. As a straight female, VALENTINE'S DAY looks rather unappealing. in reply to kspidel #
@kspidel I only saw TITANIC because the guy I was dating wanted to see it. With a couple of exceptions, I tend not to like "chick flicks." in reply to kspidel #
@kspidel Have you seen PS: I LOVE YOU? That's kinda cute. in reply to kspidel #
@random_michelle @Stonekettle So far today is one of the few times Monday has behaved like a Monday for me. And I'm not even at work yet. in reply to random_michelle #
@fughawzi I don't hate Nicholas Cage, but I can understand how you might. I feel that way about Tom Cruise. in reply to fughawzi #
@Kayar That seems to be the general consensus. in reply to Kayar #
Accidentally overhearing someone's phone conversation on bus. Sounds like he recently saw FOOD INC. Always good to know info's getting out. #
@neilhimself I'm so sorry.You don't know me,but I'm sending you & your family hugs & good thoughts (dealing w/ sick kitty myself right now). in reply to neilhimself #
@shawnp0wers *crosses fingers* in reply to shawnp0wers #
Once again, this song is running through my head. Gawd, how I love this. ♫ http://blip.fm/~jqxcj #
I entered the SUPERFAN Sweepstakes to meet the @MythBusters because #IMASUPERFAN ! http://www.discovery.com/mythbusters #
@mariancall You realize, of course, the nerdgasm that would ripple across the land? in reply to mariancall #
@mariancall Wait a minute… We need to find a way to hook up all those nerds to a power plant. That'll end our dependence on foreign oil! #
@miharu They are really, really good, but I hear Meet Market's new vegan reuben gives @locali's a run for its money: http://bit.ly/7OjUuI in reply to miharu #
RT @sotsogm: The slippery slope of the Citizens United case–Mickey Mouse becomes President in 2029: http://is.gd/71W3n #
@sotsogm Is it wrong that I'm enjoying the comments even more than the blog entry? in reply to sotsogm #
RT @sotsogm: Oh thanks, Chris, for destroying the internet by rendering all future blog posts completely redundant. [...] http://is.gd/72ggy #
Know what's unnerving? Sitting in your office in L.A. County & hearing the screeching of either a hawk or a falcon. Yep, we get those too. #
@shawnp0wers That's some mighty fine tea ya got there. in reply to shawnp0wers #
@fughawzi I hadn't actually thought about it – was just going to use regular cocoa rice crispies. Do you have any recommendations? in reply to fughawzi #
@random_michelle You want I should beat up Tuesday for you? in reply to random_michelle #
@fughawzi I'll take a look at the ingredients for what I usually use, but it's probably got gluten. I'll check Costco for the Envirokidz. in reply to fughawzi #
@VeggieGrill Wish I could be there to make sure they see that vegan enterprises are the wave of the future! in reply to VeggieGrill #
@random_michelle Will do. Yo, Tuesday, you and me – we gotta talk… in reply to random_michelle #
@DiningInLA I <3 James May. And Jeremy Clarkson. And Richard Hammond… #
@DiningInLA Heh. I admit, James is my favorite. He's such a gentleman. I <3 Captain Slow! in reply to DiningInLA #
@jerisisco If I didn't already love my job and if I lived in Dallas, I just might want to work for woot! – Hee! in reply to jerisisco #

I entered the SUPERFAN Sweepstakes to meet the @MythBusters because #IMASUPERFAN ! http://www.discovery.com/mythbusters #
@shawnp0wers I fiercely hate AT&T. They deserve all the messing with they can get. With sharp rusty instruments, if possible. in reply to shawnp0wers #
@shawnp0wers They slammed my long distance once & kept calling after I told them to put me on the do not call list. in reply to shawnp0wers #
@shawnp0wers After 3rd telemarketing call I told them they were breaking a federal law & threatened a lawsuit. Never heard from them again. #
@Kayar Feel like moving to Dallas? *spit* in reply to Kayar #
@shawnp0wers No! Begone, incipient illness! Darken Shawn's door no more! in reply to shawnp0wers #
@Kayar I do that a lot. I'm a big believer in the boycott. in reply to Kayar #
@Kayar AT&T is still never getting my money. Seriously, I despise them. in reply to Kayar #
@Kayar I came very close to moving to Dallas once, in the Mid-90s. Sooooo happy that never happened. in reply to Kayar #
@Kayar True. My younger sister was born in Georgia – the sister who is now a fundamentalist Christian Republican. Hmmmm… in reply to Kayar #
My edamame needs salt. #

@Stonekettle Nope, it's going to run on Windows ME. in reply to Stonekettle #
@Sidgrauman Would love gourmet candy – a dark chocolate option would be great. Also wouldn't mind soft pretzels. in reply to Sidgrauman #
@erong The iPad looks like an iPhone with a thyroid problem. I am not impressed. Also – iPad? Kind of a stupid name. Does it have wings? in reply to erong #
@shawnp0wers I just want to know if it has wings. in reply to shawnp0wers #
@erong Good to know. Still, I think wings are a needed peripheral. (Also – hee!) in reply to erong #
RT @erong: @CarolElaine No wings as an option yet. But they do offer more absorbency for large data flow. (for @Kate_Baker) #
@jerisisco @Kate_Baker Hee! Gotta share that with @erong. in reply to jerisisco #
@erong Re: iPad absorbency – From my friend @jerisisco: http://bit.ly/dbmv8J in reply to erong #
@erong Makes you wonder if the folks in Apple's marketing know any women. Or have watched TV. in reply to erong #
RT @jerisisco: @Kate_Baker @CarolElaine Oh lord – this is not entirely SFW but hilarious on the iPad absorbency question. http://is.gd/7aSYm #
@Kate_Baker Heh. Frankly, I don't know that I want 3G anywhere near there. in reply to Kate_Baker #

RIP, Zelda Rubenstein & Howard Zinn: http://bit.ly/aabHwq & http://bit.ly/cmbw5n #
Waiting for bus home. Sliding surreptitious glances at fellow JPLer whose profile reminds me of Scott Bakula (& is equally cute). Rowr. #
Mind you, he's not CFN handsome, but he is nice to look at. And since he's a a JPLer, he's probably got a nice sized brain. Good things. #
@hentosz Does Obama think he's Steve Jobs? Haven't we had enough of that today? in reply to hentosz #
Wishing I had been home in time for SOTU. I'll check it out online when I get home, but am sad I'm not seeing it now. #
@sotsogm It'll be…entertaining (& blood-pressure-raising), if nothing else. in reply to sotsogm #
@sotsogm Kinda like the last two Republican responses? I'm thinking these things are pre-taped. in reply to sotsogm #
@danweiser You have to remember to take Dramamine or Pepto Bismol BEFORE the GOP response. in reply to danweiser #
@shawnp0wers I'm so sorry your kids & @dp0wers had to go through that. Hugs to all of them. in reply to shawnp0wers #
@sotsogm @Stonekettle <TheTodd>Hey, I thought we all agreed – the high five is MY thing. </TheTodd> in reply to sotsogm #
@mfheadcase Like @jerisisco, you followed me first, but also like her, I'm very selective about who I follow back. in reply to mfheadcase #
@mfheadcase Your tweets are interesting and spam-free. That's why I followed you back. #
Matisse didn't this morning, but he sure acted like he wanted to. Wonder if appetite stimulant pill scratched his throat – it's a 1/4 pill. #
On top of that making me late, my 2nd bus was 20 minutes late. So glad this is my last work day of the week. *sigh* #
Argh! I'm running super late & the annoying voiced woman is on this bus too! I swear she's stalking me for maximum annoyance. #
And she just got off. She rode the bus for two stops. That's a ten minute walk on flat ground. I have asthma & bad ankles & I can walk that. #
That's just fucking lazy. #
@mfheadcase Will do. She's off now & I'm listening to Richard Thompson (calms me), so I think I'm okay. For now l. #
Google Voice transcriptions make me laugh. #
@sotsogm I heartily concur with that assessment. in reply to sotsogm #
@jerisisco Out of peppermint schnapps?! Noooooooooooooooooooo *deep breath* ooooooooooooooooo *deep breath* ooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!! #
@jerisisco I don't go very often either. I don't think I've bought vodka in a couple of years – the 1 1/2 bottles I have are lasting me. in reply to jerisisco #
@VeggieGrill Colbie Caillat ? in reply to VeggieGrill #
Found BBC's "1984" from 1954 on YouTube, starring Peter Cushing as Winston Smith. So very cool. Seriously, I am very excited. #
One of my favorite actors starring in an adaption of one of my favorite novels (one that heavily influenced my youth). WooHoo! #
@timothyaclark It's broken up in many 7 minute pieces – the first part is at http://bit.ly/brC253 – I'm slowly going through them. #
For those interested in checking "1984" out, it's broken up in many 7 minute pieces. Part 1 is at http://bit.ly/brC253. #

@sotsogm Who did it? I would love to hear it. in reply to sotsogm #
@fughawzi @miharu Turns out I will be bringing a table on Sunday, so that's one less you have to worry about. in reply to fughawzi #
@fughawzi @miharu I don't have any cupcake tree things, though. But I'm bringing trays to display my goods. And to-go containers. in reply to fughawzi #
@danweiser I would think fish would hard to cook anyway. Did you have to debone it? in reply to danweiser #
@danweiser Those side dishes sound scrumptious! in reply to danweiser #
@sotsogm That would be great! BOOKENDS is probably my face S&G album, up there with WEDNESDAY MORNING, 3 A.M. #
@sotsogm I'll check it out – thank you! in reply to sotsogm #
@sotsogm Good luck with that! in reply to sotsogm #
@miharu I saw some Tofutti cream cheese at WF in Glendale yesterday. in reply to miharu #
@fughawzi What time should we be there tomorrow to set up? I was aiming for 10:30a. in reply to fughawzi #
@mariancall That's how I feel about Basil Rathbone whenever I see him in ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD and, well, anything. Yeah, I'm odd. in reply to mariancall #
@mariancall Nope (though they don't hurt – he had nice legs). A handsome man who can look manly in that costume? And a superb fencer? Rowr. in reply to mariancall #
