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

• 00:22 @wednesday So I've since been informed. :) #
• 06:28 @mmunknownfilms Got rained out. I'll see it in a regular cinema I guess. #
• 11:05 @marktime Don't put yourself out too much. Amazon had one just like it for $30 (that's half of retail). #
• 11:06 @marktime So if you do find it, maybe Mama would like to keep it. #
• 11:09 @marktime And funny thing, I had that very same idea about Mary Ellen as I was getting up. I'll go ask her later. #
• 11:33 @ShivaeStudios I watched it growing up. I thought it was pretty neat. I suspect I'd feel less so if I saw it again now. #
• 12:01 @marktime I don't even remember now. Opening a bottle?You should have asked me right after I lost it. #
• 12:49 When he was moving me back in here, @marktime remarked on the roofing of the other building. "Your roof doesn't leak, does it?" #
• 12:49 I remarked to @marktime that no, it didn't. Well, he must have cursed me, because NOW IT'S STARTED LEAKING in the kitchen. :/ #
• 16:05 New #TeleRead: @wilw likes @stanza_reader - bit.ly/MXwGL #
• 16:48 I just learned that the neighbors named their new kittens Taco, Burrito, Cheeto, and Frito. Ooookay. #
• 18:39 Found via @boingboing:Someone give this kid a medal: bit.ly/j8nkC #
• 18:40 @camera_obscura And with a little program called Air Mouse for the iPhone or iPod Touch, you don't even need that. #
• 19:02 twitpic.com/5ylrk - The reward of being friendly to the neighbors. #
• 19:51 #Teleread - Student runs guerilla banned-book library out of school locker - bit.ly/100wjX #
• 20:53 About 1/3 through Blues Brothers 2000. I can see why it flopped. Music's great, but pacing is pretty bad. Movie feels tired. #
• 20:54 It's like it's trying to tread in the footsteps of the original, but just comes off as a retread. The original really WAS original. #
• 22:27 Finished BB2000. Verdict: the music is about twice as good as the first BB movie's. But the rest of the movie is only about half as good. #
• 22:27 Given that the first Blues Brothers's music was pretty good already, that means BB2000's absolutely kicks prodigious amounts of ass. #
• 22:28 But given that a lot of the first BB's appeal was from spectacle, and BB took spectacle about as far as it could go already... #
• 22:28 ...BB2000 trying to top it ended up getting into "That's just silly and lame" territory. #
• 22:41 r @jcfiala Yeah, I wish I'd seen it in the theater. I think I would have, except I was living with my folks when it came out. #
• 23:57 #sgf Just made myself a pineapple whip float: pineapple whip in Reed's Jamaican-style ginger beer (brewed w/ pineapple juice). Heavenly! #
