  • Beginning of my half-time week. Looking forward to it, I gotta say. #
  • Just made a dentist appointment for Friday. High time, I haven’t been in 2 years… But ugh, do not want! #
  • A friend is currently in Tokyo on business and asked me for tips. Now I miss Japan. #
  • Emailing about a flat in the ‘burbs of Zurich. Sounds very good (and cheap), but I’d much rather be in the city – or in Basel… We’ll see. #
  • AudioBoo: Get Better Week Boo http://boo.fm/b32475 #
  • Just as summer has officially arrived the weather seems to think it’s April. Glad to be warm and snug inside with a nice hot chai latte… #
  • TV note of the day: Marshall on In Plain Sight is my FAVORITE. And there was hugging today, so I’m happy. πŸ™‚ #
  • Photo: Day 172 http://bit.ly/14nECu #
  • I cannot roll the R to save my life. I can fake it for ‘kia ora’, but most other words I fail miserably… So ridiculous. πŸ˜› #
  • This idea by @theagilmore is so good, I might have to support it knowing only a handful of her songs: http://bit.ly/13I2Kz (via @neilgaiman) #

  • Not the best night. Too many thoughts about the future, took me forever to fall asleep. Seriously considering moving to Basel and commuting. #
  • Aww… Decaydance lullaby: http://bit.ly/Psf5W (courtesy of @petewentz and friends) #
  • The Mia Michaels opening routine on SYTYCD was cool – but umm, why the cultural appropriation? What did the dance have to do with Maori, hm? #
  • Music from the Brazilian church downstairs. Don’t understand a word, but it sounds good. Happy Sunday, everyone! #fb #
  • Brazilians are now singing a song in Portuguese that I know in English from church in NZ, so I’m singing along. “Here I am to worship..” #fb #
  • Just back from church with the parentals. Hungry. Good thing my mom brought leftover potato salad for me… *digs in* #

  • Good end of a shitty week – good company, good food and two episodes of Coupling (UK, of course). Exhausted now, so good night, twitverse! #
  • WTF? RT @desolate_pages: Uh. Can we just throw up one big fat HELL NO? http://bit.ly/lNXzf #
  • Showered, dressed, wedding present wrapped. Time for breakfast, finally, and then off to the station. I’m dizzy but it’s manageable. #fb #
  • Lunch w/ Sibylle on the terrace of Manor in Basel. I love this city! Maybe I should live here and commute.. Anyway, off to the wedding! #
  • Hee. It’s apparently Free Hug Day – there’s a girl with a sign in front of the station. Mostly guys seem to be taking her up on it.. πŸ™‚ #fb #
  • Lovely lovely wedding. Good to see some people again. And the bride was gorgeous! Now really tired, so on my way home. #fb #
  • #squarespace Jeez, I’m bad at this! πŸ˜›
    Also, home. My couch is calling. Decisions about the future/flathunting will have to wait… #
  • Photo: SaPa’s wedding http://bit.ly/tmCDC #
  • Watching this week’s SYTYCD performances and then off to bed with me. Still all over Evan – it helped that he got the jive, my fave. πŸ™‚ #

  • Slumming it at the office, outfit-wise – you can see my koru tattoo today. πŸ™‚ TGIF, indeed! I can totally survive today. *crosses fingers* #
  • Wow. It’s pouring down like crazy. I’m sure glad I’m inside – I’m not wearing the right shoes for this weather. πŸ™‚ #
  • Some people don’t understand my full first name on the phone and call me ‘Maria’. I feel like my oldest aunt… πŸ™‚ #

  • The ‘block’ button is my friend here on Twitter… #
  • Book burning? Are these people for REAL? http://www.salon.com/books/feature/2009/06/16/francesca_lia_block/index.html *facepalm* #
  • Good book news: A new De Botton non-fiction book, need to get asap! http://www.salon.com/books/review/2009/06/11/debotton/ #
  • They just called me at work to give me notice on my flat. Just what I need right now: flat hunting in fucking Zurich and moving. FML. #
  • For the record: My life sucks at the moment. I apologize to everyone who I’m crabby to/ignore. #
  • I kind of don’t want to watch this Unusuals ep, because it’s the last one ever.Maybe I’ll watch another ep of Jon & Kate instead- BABIES! πŸ™‚ #
  • A sharp plastic shard in my soup. I think I’ll stop eating now – I don’t need to cut my mouth in addition to everything else. #
  • Ah yes, iPhone 3.0 arrived in my iTunes. Not upgrading, though – will jailbreak when Pwnage Tool released. I loves my pwned iPhone! πŸ™‚ #
  • An old-school ep of Gilmore Girls (ultimate comfort show) and chocolate. I might survive all of this after all… G’night, world! #fb #

  • Wish I wasn’t sick, but my bed is a very nice place… Birds tweeting outside. πŸ™‚ #
  • Watching a doc on the music scene in the 90s- takes me right back! Adored Take That, and from 15-18 I went to raves almost every weekend. πŸ˜› #
  • Highlight of an otherwise uneventful (sick) day: Booking the flight to Dublin for August. #fb #

  • Vertigo. Again. Acupuncturist suggested uvb treatment of blood, but first I’ll check with my regular doc. Not sure if I should head to work. #
  • Going into work because I have an overdeveloped conscience. Might only stay couple of hours, finish a report. #
  • I think I might go home after I finish this report. Doctor’s appointment this afternoon. #
  • Life’s much better at home on my couch. I feel almost human again. Especially with new Nurse Jackie eps to enjoy. #
  • *sings along* I am such a child of the 80s… Strange how much music I soaked up despite being only 9 when they ended. #
  • Doc has never heard of acidosis. Thinks it’s depression. I kind of think it’s both. #
  • Someone’s practising the violin somewhere nearby. Kind of scratchy but could be worse. #

  • Been at work for 15 minutes, but can I go home yet? (Needless to say, not a good day health-wise. Promise to keep my whining to a minimum.) #
  • Oooh, I forgot about the new Regina Spektor album. Will need to get that asap! #
  • Officially submitted my vacation for mid-August: S&A’s wedding, then a week in Ireland with Sibylle (Dublin and maybe Galway). Can’t wait! #
  • Also, the acupuncture needle the doc left in last week fell out sometime this morning, just as it was supposed to. #
  • Want to know what’s going on in Teheran right now? Following @persiankiwi is seriously scary… #
  • Everyone seems to be having a horrible time at work today. πŸ™ *sends fluffy kittens* #
  • I am so fucking glad to be home… I started about 3 boos on this topic but they were too embarrassingly happy, so just take my word. *g* #
  • Btw, I just noticed the Dreamhost is having a sale for 1 year’s hosting for $9.24 for new customers: http://bit.ly/ZbAq1 #
  • Oh, this is horrible! RT @persiankiwi: confirmed at least one dead in azadi sq – first hand. #Iranelection #
  • Is there a law now requiring American TV shows to have pretty women making out in 2009? Just feels too much like cheap thrills. :/ #
  • AudioBoo: Rainy boo http://boo.fm/b30683 #
  • Oh yeah, #squarespace! #

  • Wow, you lot were chatty while I was sleeping! Now it’s time to get a prettified Facebook url… Happy Saturday, world! #
  • Prettified FB url has been achieved – I’m now facebook.com/firstname.lastname! You can get your own here: http://facebook.com/username/ #
  • Shopping. When did beauty care products become part of my life? Still, lovely warm day. Picking up lunch and will eat in a nice shady spot. #
  • AudioBoo: Bookcrossing boo http://boo.fm/b30045 #
  • And here I thought it had passed eventlessly – but search not working in Tweetie is apparently related to #twitpocalypse… #
  • “I hereby pronounce you… DIVORCED!” John fucking Cooper will never not rule. Hey, @Cudlitz, what’s your favorite line? #
  • Gah. What must be the most annoying (and loud) car alarm in the history of car alarms went off right in front of my place for the 3rd time! #
  • Whee, I’ll have a MÀrrie of my own at the end of August! *twirls* #
  • For @nora1980 (and anyone else who likes @ingridmusic): http://www.sendspace.com/file/wdlv30 #
