Here are the things I am willing to confess to having done today:

• 00:05 @mandalove Someone on the Spirit of the Century mailing list was thinking of using SoTC to make an Avatar: Airbender RPG. #
• 00:05 @mandalove I was personally thinking of doing some Feng Shui RPG "fu paths" for the Bending styles, but found it harder than I thought. #
• 00:12 @mandalove Feng Shui would be perfect for Airbender--it's based on the same tradition of wuxia and martial arts. #
• 00:12 @mandalove i just couldn't figure how to organize the powers into fu schtick paths for it. #
• 00:35 @wednesday You're finding things in iTunes you don't remember putting there? That's weird. I don't think I've ever heard of that happening. #
• 00:59 For some reason this song's been going through my head all day. bit.ly/8DbIj #
• 01:06 @wednesday iTunes just snuck it in to see if you were listening. #
• 10:52 @JeffersonEng I gave up the idea of giving anything up for Lent. (Not that I had it to begin with—I'm not in one of those denominations.) #
• 10:57 @SpringfieldCVB I didn't realize how different #SGF Chinese food in general was from the "real deal" until @sandyclaus moved in from Calif. #
• 10:59 @kjccreates Yeah, and John Lennon looks so hairy. I kinda liked it more in the really early days when they all matched better. :) #
• 11:02 As @scalzi and @neilhimself have noted, Philip José Farmer has moved on to the Riverworld. He was 91. #
• 11:04 @CherryPop You can go back to ficlets.ficly.com and fetch them, you know. #
• 11:07 @SailorCallie Yeah, some of those Oscars should have gone to Wall-E. I really hate the Oscar halo effect some films have. #
• 11:20 via @scalzi: WETA Workshop fits double amputee swimmer with mermaid tail. Neat stuff! 3:28 video: bit.ly/Yn2iQ #
• 11:20 @jeffkirvin I guess that makes you one of the most "unshellfish" people I've ever met. #
• 11:24 @jeffkirvin But not the shellfish. #
• 11:48 @standtrooper #SGF #teaparty Wish I could come, but I have to be in Chesterfield Village at 2 for a job interview and no transportation. #
• 12:03 @neutronjockey You can watch for its arrival with your Gyro scope. #
• 12:42 My latest TeleRead post: Wired Epicenter on KIndle vs. Open Standards: bit.ly/PfCUB #
• 13:54 twitpic.com/1ouoo - Can you tell I have cats? #
• 14:06 twitpic.com/1ouyt - The guts of my computer. #
• 14:28 Anybody local to #SGF got a spare SATA cable they could bring by? I just got a new HD and it's without. ... Well, it was worth a try. #
• 14:48 My brother sent me a 250gb Western Digital OEM SATA hard drive...because I didn't have enough disk space to install Call of Duty: Source. :P #
• 14:48 @jeffkirvin But there must be some, or they'd BE roaches. Just as we're 99% DNA identical to chimpanzees. #
• 15:00 @wednesday I have to admit, that's actually slightly funny in a foul-mouthed, completely clueless sort of way. #
• 15:05 @wednesday Yeah. I didn't like it much in 4th grade when the kids taunted me, "What's Chris plus pee plus poop? Crispy poop!" come to that. #
• 15:09 Looking at context, he might not even have realized there was a @wednesday on Twitter. He might just have been anthropomorphizing the day. #
• 15:11 @ertchin I have that set. Got it when Amazon had it at $70 for 1 day. Though if I'd known I was about to be laid off, I might not have... #
• 15:11 @wifi_guy Thanks, but I expect I'll probably just take the bus to Best Buy or some such place and snag one. #SGF #
• 15:13 I can't get no...SATA-faction. I can't get no...hard drive action. #
• 15:47 @ertchin There's always eBay. #
• 15:49 Oh cool. My Uncle Denis just joined Twitter, choosing the descriptive name of @Missouriguy. (Has a great imagination, my Uncle Denis. :) #
• 15:50 Anyway, welcome to Twitter, @Missouriguy! If you have any questions, just let me know! #
• 15:54 twitpic.com/1oxmg - Curiously deformed Fritos Scoop chips. (Peeking through at lower left: a copy of @neilhimself's _Coraline_.) #
• 15:57 Heh. The Accuweather iPhone app thinks I'm living in "Downtown, Missouri." #
• 16:02 @jmcmellen [Celebrity or political figure of your choice] falls off the safari jeep into a pack of maddened yaks. Hilarity ensues. #
• 16:05 Avatar: The Last Airbender movie scores Lord of the Rings cinematographer Andrew Lesnie: ping.fm/khpUW #
• 16:22 On the bus. Glad I decided to take a chance and hobble to the stop even when I saw it was 10 after. SATA, here I come! #
• 16:24 Bus driver's radio blasting Into the Blue Again. "Same as it ever was." #
• 16:27 "Once in a Lifetime." Whatever. #
• 17:14 Whew. Cable bought and back to the stop. I'm about exhausted from all the walking and just want to get home and down a cold brew. #
• 17:17 Thought about checking what Circuit Shi--ah, City's clearance looked like at this point but figured it not worth the walk. #
• 17:24 Inspired on the bus, I've been listening to Stop Making Sense. Now it comes to the song that describes how I feel right now. #
• 17:26 "Home is where I want to be, pick me up and turn me round..." #
• 17:28 Where is that large automobile? #
• 17:55 Just a mile or so away from my stop. Can't wait to be home. But I think the new HD can wait for tomorrow. #
• 17:59 Bus driver tried to comp me the ride...impatient do the time it would take me to get the cash from my back pocket, I guess. #
• 18:02 Maybe I should have let him and saved $1.10. But I didn't want to. There's no way to have the fare ready when you need both hands to crutch. #
• 18:08 Walking back to my place. Kindly couple in a van stopped and offered me a ride but I said I was all right. #
• 18:09 Found wireless access halfway there and stopped to check my mail. I AM an addict... #
• 18:17 Back! #
• 18:19 Guzzling a New Belgium Trippel beer. Mmm, this is just what I needed. #
• 18:22 @UnknownFilms Like I said, Amazon or DeepDiscountDVD. Or heck, come over to my place sometime and you can watch mine with me. :) #
• 18:33 @wilw You run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking? #
• 18:33 @masonlk I thought the same thing we did every night was TRY TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD. #
• 18:35 @jmcmellen Well, if I said either "Bush" or "Obama" there was a 50% chance I'd guess wrong. :) #
• 18:36 @jcfiala Ack! On the bright side, I think they can usually do that through a teeny tiny incision these days, right? #
• 18:39 @jeffkirvin THIS IS NOT MY BEAUTIFUL WIFE! #
• 18:43 The Ten Doctors is a really awesome Doctor Who webcomic, about exactly what the title suggests. Start from here: bit.ly/3ml3g #
• 18:51 @sandyclaus Owwww. Sorry to hear that. :( But scraped knees are just a part of childhood. I know I've had my share. #
• 19:30 @unknownfilms Here's that site I was telling you about—the WW1 museum in KC. bit.ly/iql7I #
• 19:30 Oh hey, nice, Google has actually started giving you the link when you right click and copy, instead of the mile-long Google redirect. #
• 19:32 @unknownfilms And here's the Wikipedia page about it: bit.ly/oEVtS #
• 19:38 Possibly one of the best lines ever: "However, due to budget cuts in the city, the 'Eternal Flame' has been shut down." bit.ly/oEVtS #
• 20:26 @xenijardin Some of them are better than others. But none of them is all THAT great. #
• 20:40 @jrihaly What are you doing on Airbender? #
• 20:53 @UnknownFilms Bryant's. bit.ly/WSQPV Yelp reviews: bit.ly/pmPQD #
• 20:55 @UnknownFilms Something else to check out in KC: bit.ly/KQjb7 #
• 22:37 I can't find the "Upgrade to iTunes Plus" button in the iTunes Music Store. Anyone know where it went? #apple #itunes #
• 22:39 @UnknownFilms I'm looking for the thing that says "These albums are now available in Plus, click here to upgrade them all." #apple #itunes #
• 23:19 Importing into iTunes a bunch of @brucemri's old MP3 mixes he shared with me while we were both on Eyrie Mafia. Two Nobilis, an Adventure! #
