Twitter Weekly Updates for 2010-02-21

It's Music Monday. I'm reccomending Ludo's album You're Awful, I Love You, tracks "Topeka", "Lake Pontchartrain" & "Love Me Dead". #
So tired D: I hope no one expects anything from me until I've had a cuppa and porridge. I'm in zombie mode. #
Sorted a keyboard that had fallen victim to coffee keyboards and handryers are stupidly funny, the keys start bobbing everywhere! #
I got put with an open PC & had to say what was wrong. OGOD THAT GREEN RECTANGLE IS MISSING. RAM? HOW MANY GREEN THINGS ARE IN A PC. D= #
Watched "The Lovely Bones". The book and movie both mess with my head. Amazing visuals though, and great cast selection. #
It looks like Ace Attorney Investigations just leaked. GET ON IT, INTERNET.
http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=209124 #
WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS. NO ONE COMMITS A MURDER IN MY OFFICE AND GETS AWAY WITH IT >:( #
The Reader's Digest has gone into administration! http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/8520243.stm That was unexpected. #
JERRY BEEEEAANNNSS. HAI HAI. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPH4NI7EFh8 #
So, @Daveface has just shown me the new Doctor Who trailer. WHAT IS THIS TWILIGHT BULLSHIT. GET OUT OF THAT FIELD AND INTO THE TARDIS. !fb #
Jeez. Group of 8 guys have been attacking people in the Lidl/Canal Basin area. Stay safe, Inverness guys and girls. #
Ace Attorney parodied by The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1XZLLnzBfo #

Trying to keep my eyes open on the bus to 'ness. Everyone's in good spirits but nervous. MFR is playing some classic hits. #
http://www.thisislocallondon.co.uk/news/4933928.SUNDRIDGE_PARK__Girl_dies_after_being_hit_by_train/ #
In 'ness again (it's a long term thing), keeping my mind off things with training. Just had spider on keyboard, ugh. D: #
Probably in the best state I've been all week. Feels like I'm just ignoring the bad things, though... #
CIRCUS OF HORRORS GUYS. It's great! Songs are weak but everything else is a big improv on last year. pervy freak show goodness. #
Been trying all week to get things into words. Still haven't got it right but at least it's up now. #
Nonsense on the BBC saying everyone should work 21hrs/week max because less money would make everything great o_O http://tinyurl.com/ydw3gwo #

Twitter Weekly Updates for 2010-02-07

Playing Spirit Tracks. Not long 'till Febuary 16th, and "Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth". Can't wait! =D #
Watched Gamer this weekend. Plot makes barely any sense, but the gaming references were good. Half-decent action flick. http://bit.ly/DP7Po #
Afternoon Twitter. We're going to Edinburgh in March, where should we stay and where are cool places to go? !fb #
I'll see it everywhere now. RT @essrose http://tinyurl.com/yztt4oj Someone else noticed Hollywood's insane obsession with orange and blue! #
Woke up a bit early to collect the graphic novel 'Blankets'. The art is gorgeous! Made toast, now off to work to fry my head with training. #
Looks like I'm going to be seeing a bit more of Inverness in the next wee while. #
Want to win a iPad? It isn't even out yet and Dreamhost (@dreamhost) are doing a competition to win one! #

Managed to split the seam on a pair of trousers. MC Hammer lied, there are no advantages. #
Was getting annoyed at the birds chirping so late, until I realised 'twas the background music in my video game (Persona 3). Time for bed #
Not that impressed by the iPad - the software looks nice and that's it. Can't think of any reason I'd 'need' one. #
Oh man... "The Catcher In The Rye" author JD Salinger has died. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/8486169.stm #
Play.com haven't sent the pre-order armour code for Mass Effect 2... #
I replaced a light bulb! Now I just need to find my passport and something decent to wear.,, #

Twitter Weekly Updates for 2010-01-24

New Final Fantasy XIII trailer (random mash-up of cutscenes and Leona Lewis) on XBox Live. I might actually buy a 360 game for myself. :O #
Had a look round a show home for the new Nairn development today. Really nice looking place. http://www.kylaurenhomes.com/ #
Today in Being Human: When Terry Wogan talks to you through the TV, you OBEY. #
The house feels so tidy, it's weird. I've got no idea how I'm going to get to sleep in time to still feel human for my 6 o'clock wake-up. #
Ice cream palour with 860 flavours including beef, cheese, eggs, avocado, chilli... http://tinyurl.com/yezfewg #
The lovely old style Harbour Street Store down in Nairn Fishertown is closing down. http://tinyurl.com/yg6698x #
I-It's a w-w-wee bit cold. D: #
Nairn banking consultant and father-of-2 escapes Haiti: http://tinyurl.com/yfl7meu (from mynairn.com) #
Cadburys have agreed to be taken over by American company Kraft. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/8467007.stm #
I was trying to put Splenda on my porridge but every packet I opened had nothing in it. Maybe that's how it's supposed to work? #
I should be having a shower then sleeping but Mock the Week outtakes are on. Frankie Boyle's 'I said something funny' face twitch = love <3 #
Dissappointed to read that you can get homosexuality 'curing' therapy in Inverness http://tinyurl.com/yb9qx69 #
Paraphrased: A number of organisations offer same-sex attraction therapy more discreetly inc. God's Healing of Broken Emotions, in Inverness #
On the bus with two very drunk ppl from Dave's school. The drunkest is apparantly an very profane MC. #
They're very loudly singing happy birthday. i'm making it clear who wears the pants. Feeling sorry for every1 on bus. #
Drunkest is very insistent on telling me how beatiful I am every 5 secs. Look but don't touch ...please? D: #
Oh dear. The driver wouldn't let someone off for air, they threw up over an entire row & then one of the drunks guy peed everywhere. #
Got off as soon as we hit the edge of Nairn because of the smell, walked into town with Dave's sis and friends and had a much better time. #
This is adorable - the wife that cries at Star Wars and LoTR - http://cryingwife.com/ #
Fry-up at the Nairn Cafe, The Great Escape, Lindor chocolates = good night. Gonna have a go on the punchbag & WiiFit then play a PC game. #

Twitter Weekly Updates for 2010-01-17

Electric and gas both ran out in the middle of the night. Ugh, we failed a bit. The weather's kept the frozen food from spoiling at least. #
Still trying to figure out how to get the boiler up and running again, though. Boilers look so simple but are so complicated. D: #
Just heard on Kerrang! radio that they're remaking "The Crystal Maze" and having it hosted by Amanda Holden. WHAT. NO. M-MY CHILDHOOD. D: #
Boiler is working again. YEAH! HOUSEWORK TIME. !fb #
Final Fantasy E.Maree? I think the latest blog post should amuse the gamers in the audience... #
What I learned from watching "Jennifer's Body": Being lesbian bfflz gives you psychic powers; Indie bands love Satan. #
Being Human is on! GO WATCH IT. :O #
Good to see Being Human hasn't changed it's style. =) George was really out of character this ep, but relationship breakdowns do that. #
Sorted out the problems with the image on the blog 'When Cover Designers Get Lazy'. http://www.used-goods.net/forbidden_knowledge/?p=478 #
People are bleating about Wetherspoon's being too cheap again. God forbid I have money left after a night out! http://tinyurl.com/y8ebphq #
Things I learned from watching #QI - Scotland invented the decimal point, chloroform and vacuum flasks. #
Anyone got advice to share on driving lessons? Where's good in Nairn or Inverness for them, any good offers or instructors? #
Thousands of kids left without parents in Haiti, with no idea where to go or where to sleep. The prisons have collapsed. This is awful. #
When I'm typing too quickly eg IM-ing I typo a lot. I rush to keep up with the convo. I do the same speaking IRL & blurt out my thoughts. #
When I'm tired & writing normal speed, tho, all I do is mix up homophones like 'knew' and 'new', 'know' and 'no'. Nothing else changes. :O #
Off to bed. Dave's health has improved, hoping he'll make it through the night without something going horribly wrong. WE SHALL SEE. #
I think The Sun's holiday advert may have dodgy intentions. A young boy licking an ice cream followed by "children give me a good workout". #
Persona 4 has either had it's price hiked up or is out of stock online. Atlus games can be so tricky to find. #
Classic comic covers redone! http://coveredblog.blogspot.com/ #
One more tier? In New York? #

Back in Nairn, got the back to work blues. Bought a drip (filter) coffee machine for Dave! TV arrives on Tuesday, yay. #
Playing Braid while running a bath. Just realised I'll need to start the game all over again to get the stars. :O #
Just got offered an SVQ course to do through work! Basic stuff, I think, but gaining another qualification would be awesome. =) #
Weather's bad in Nairn - hailstones pelting it down then heavy snow. Thinking about summoing the Dial-a-Bus to get to work this week. #
Being able to arrange a public bus service around you amuses me. Almost as awesome as Inverness' drunk-rescuing free Night Bus. #
The TV & stand have arrived! Having a little party with tea and Chai (aka I'm having my tea break, but if you call it a party it is one.) #
Went to put a box in the bin & the cleaner shouted "AT!" & pointed at the full bin-bags by the sink. xD Oblivious Emma has been told. #
AAAAAHHHHHHHH I passed the test! BUT I BREAK EVERYTHING AHHHHH #
Up to 65 out of just over 100 jobs are to be axed at the creamery next to where we work. http://tinyurl.com/ykj7gtu #
Love the Guardian's take on the 'Doctor Who insulted gingers!' drama http://tinyurl.com/y95awkd #
Gorgeous aerial pic of 'Frozen Britain' yesterday http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/in_depth/8447023.stm #
Myself and @Daveface have spent the day watching movies, gaming and wallowing in being ill. xD Gattaca has such a sad ending! #
Hannibal's on. I don't understand it. Some guy who tore off his face because hannibal said so has trained killer boars. Attack pigs, srsly? #

Made lots of mini doughnuts. Mission success! Did plain and chocolate coated, gonna have some fun with spices next time. #
"The Vampire Diaries" TV adaption just devoted a whole scene to ripping on "Twilight". Oooh, burn. #
I'm pretty sure the Inferno never had quicktime events or Death whispering "No, please don't!" as Dante killed him. #
I'm sure it would be a fine enough game if it wasn't raping one of the greatest epic poems there is. #
Having some fun on WiiFit+ with @Daveface. YOGA IS HARD. D: It's a good game, though no sure if the novelty will quickly wear off. #
He messed with the balance board and had it telling me I was 3st heavier than I am. D: MY MII WENT FAT. I had to reset my account. xD #
Bloke in a camo jacket just knocked on the door & window looking for a Paul who may have once lived here? #
It was a bit unexpected but I hope he finds the guy, it's a cold night to go out looking for old acquaintances. #
Avenged Sevenfold drummer 'The Rev' was found dead, aged only 28. Rest in peace. #RIPtheRev #
Anyone know what the buses and trains are like between Nairn and Inverness? Not looking too good outside. :S #
Going through to Inverness today. With luck Dave'll get through tomorrow to see Avatar as well! #
Dave just phoned up saying he was late for work... it's 10.30 at night. Bless his cotton socks. #
Ugh. Need to buy a TV & not risking lugging one about in the snow & ice so getting it delivered, but don't really want to risk HDNL. :S #
10 words you need to stop misspelling http://bit.ly/8MhwXT #
Trying to use an oven that doesn't have an LCD screen confuses me. Is it preheating? I can't tell! Will dinner be cooked? Maybe! #
I didn't get an text from Dave to bring his coffee mug, and accidentally threw his lunch away. I AM A TERRIBLE GIRLFRIEND. D: #
What's everyone up to in Inverness tonight? #
Inverness Hogmany Party ('Red Hot Highland Fling') has been cancelled due to the weather. http://bit.ly/4urjkM #
Having second thoughts about going through to Inverness with the weather this mad. :S #
At my parents, getting everyone playing Wii Fit. Once you're past the initial weigh-in, everyone starts enjoying it. #
Our Lhasa Apso is scared of everything. Tonight, his biggest fear has been realised in the form of the Wiimotes. #
Find your place in the artist world. http://loldwell.com/?p=104 #
6 minutes to go. Have a Happy New Year, all of you. =) #
Having a good 2010 so far. Watched Ice Age 2, got everyone playing Wii Fit, waiting for Doctor Who now. Gah, gonna miss Tennant. >: #
DO NOT WANT. #

Twitter Weekly Updates for 2009-12-27

http://twitpic.com/ucy54 - Om nom porridge. The snow has been falling for 2 days. @Daveface took pictures! #
Cross-browser testing the new site layout - tab menu only displays right in Chrome and Firefox, ugh. #
HELL YES. WE DID IT, INTERNET! #
Listening to Vast's "My TV & You". "I was born to stare at who stares back at me." #musicmonday #
I have a test at 2 o'clock. D: Being kept a bit out of the loop means I'm totally unprepared. I'm hoping it's not as difficult as I think. #
Could have been worse but could have been better. I'm just hoping to scrape 50% so I can get into the training program. #
Nairn is getting a Sainsbury! Finally! Took them long enough to get a decent store out here. #
RT @Oatmeal Why it's better to pretend you don't know anything about computers http://digg.com/d31DTif #
Burning the midnight oil to do some last-minute baking for the work Christmas party (not to be confused with the Christmas pub crawl ) #
Wait, Avatar uses Papyrus as its main font? Including subtitles? Seriously? What a waste of a budget. #
I sat at the edge of the bed until Dave woke up, balancing a piping hot cookie on a spatula, because he only likes them hot & fresh. #
Unfortunately it is too early in the morning for him to want a cookie. </3 I feel so rejected! I will never bake again! :'P #
Waking up early to get a taxi in with @Daveface and avoid walking in the snow. I'll regret this by the time my shift's over. #
The brothers make The Vamprie Diaries really amusing. "Hello, I'm camp and evil!" "I AM DARK & BROODING & OWN A DIARY" "Oh. Good for you." #
Am I actually a malfunctioning android powered entirely by tea and sugar? So far, signs point to 'Yes'. #
Christmas Party! People have brought so much stuff, it's awesome. All kinds of delicious baking, crisps, platters of sandwiches. :O #
Just watched Screenwipe. Charlie Booker brings the lulz again. @dj_jenns Cheers for the notice it was on. #
Emma: 'Do you know how to use [fingerquotes] "ironic speechmarks"?' Dave: 'Yes, "I do."' I THINK HE JUST SELF-PWNED. #
Oh jesus what. D: RT @ananthymous: This is made of nightmares http://tinyurl.com/c7cf2e #
Top Cat's voice actor died. =( http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/8427789.stm #
Someone's selling a complete set of my books & merch on EBay, buy now £1k. If that sells I should probably get my online store back up. #
Zombieland was a great comedy movie. Doesn't beat Shaun of the Dead, but definitely worth a watch. #
Wandering around the office in a santa hat today. Getting a few smiles. #
Just finished reading "Hush, Hush". I think it's my favourite YA this year - tight mythology, sharp writing and plentiful innuendo! #
Iced mince pies always confuse me. My brain goes ICING, IT'S A TART! :O and I nibble it only to find it is FILLED WITH MEAT. #
According to Wikipedia, modern mince pies are actually just filled with fruit? That explains the odd taste but does not reassure me at all. #
I'm debating whether walking home in the Santa hat (to keep my ears warm) will earn me a punch in the face. BOOM BOOM BOOM SHAKE THE ROOM. #
This house is missing a Dave. D: I hope he hasn't gone to meet me, without a phone, in -4 degrees. Gonna go hunting for him. #
Merry Christmas everyone. =) #
What did everyone get for Xmas? I got: WiiFit+, books, whistling kettle, a plush labrador, clothes, sweeties, perfume & Ted Baker bodywear! #
Wasn't a big fan of Doctor Who tonight. What was with Obama saving the Brits from the recession? Why was Obama even in the Whoverse? #
Superhero!Master - with his jumping and useless electric - and the SWAT-style raid were just pointless wastes of budget imo. #
Oh, but crazy Gollum-Master was brilliant. John Simm seemed to be having a field day at the end. All the acting was brilliant. #
Pleasantly surprised that the American health care reform is going through. Good job, USA! #
Hey internet, do you prefer plasma or LCD TVs? Seen a well-priced TV with good specs, but it's plasma. :S Should I worry about ghosting? #
What's everyone's views on Plasma TVs versus LCD TVs? #
There's a weird shrill beeping that starts whenever I boot up Win7. :S Really quiet, never even noticed it until I put headphones in. WTF? #
Playing Braid. Absolutely fantastic game, even the cheapest of you should be able to fork over the £1.94 for time-travelling funtimes. =D #

When did Pundit Kitchen get so preachy? Ugh, it gets harder and harder to find good political humor. #
Getting really tempted to splash out on something extra-fancy for Dave. I'm especially bad at restraint when it comes to loved ones. #
I really don't get that 'pulse perfection' mascara. It's hard enough for me to keep a steady hand as is. xD #
I swear, stress is contagious. Something bad happens to someone close and I end up clawing at the walls in frustration (metaphorically). #
Imagine Edward Cullen riding a bike. Once you see it, you can't unsee it. #
Got a lift home, yay. #
I managed to drop a big bottle of bleach. It split open all over the floor. 'Klutz of the Year' award goes to me. D: #
My life has become one long, monotonous spreadsheet. I think my wrist hurts from so much Enter, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V. #
Had a great night - parents came round with computer chair for study, presents, hamper, XMas decorations & my santa hat! =D #
They've "lost track" of the Lockerbie bomber's current whereabouts. America will have a field day about this. #
Tried and failed at making a Chai Tea Latte. Despite valiant efforts, a mini hot chocolate whisk does not replace a hand blender or steamer. #
"Panic Attack!" is a great short vid about robots attacking. The guy just received a Hollywood film contract. =) http://tinyurl.com/yd2jsvm #
I was so confused by the theme, though. :O I was convinced it was Doctor Who's "Doomsday" but it's actually from 28 Days Later #
If Stop Signs were designed by committees... http://usedwigs.com/video-stop-sign-designed-by-committee/ #
I've heard the Invernessians & early-rising Nairnians say it's snowing, but now even GMail is trying to convince me it's snowing? Lies! #
OH GOD THE SCHOOLCHILDREN WILL BE GETING OUT SOON. D: I must dash and get a Gingerbread house before the mobs hit the High Street! #
WE ARE BUILDING A GINGERBREAD HOUSE TONIGHT. The first step in the instructions is "1. Eat this bag of sweets while you build the house". #
People keep using my long-defunct MSN addy to contact me, so I'm changing my MSN/Live messenger address to emaree[at]used-goods[dot]net #
The best thing about Christmas trees is either chocolate decorations or tinsel. Cast your votes! #
I went upstairs to bleed the radiator, put the key in anything it would fit on, then realised I had no idea what I was doing and gave up. #
Gah, the icing bag for the Gingerbread house has split and looks a bit ick. Gonna have to return it I think. >: #
New Iron Man 2 trailer is looking good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=siQgD9qOhRs #
"Is that muesli?" "Are you having CupaSoup?" The guys at work apparantly have never seen microwave porridge before. #
Just had a fresh jam doughnut from Ashers. It was awesome - a real change from the 'fresh' doughnuts found in supermarkets. #
The fire alarm just had to go off when it was snowing, didn't it? #yam #
Can't wait for the staff party tonight! We're all going out to the Nairn pubs, it's going to be pretty epic. Looking forward to it. #
The MadCatz Portable Rock Band drum kit looks great - convenient and (finally) a reasonable price tag. Tempted by Rock Band now. #
Watched first ep of Clone High, it was awful. Generic MTV animation made up entirely out of terrible adult jokes. #
Watched the Misfits pilot as well. Apathetic about it - I don't care about any of the characters at all. Will watch a few more eps. #
TV and movie adaptions of vampire romance books are fun - you get good looking actors and none of the terrible writing! #
Last hour to buy "Killing in the Name Of" so that it counts for the charts. 30p on Amazon.co.uk, get to it! #
Working on a lighter-coloured new layout for my website. It's going well. http://used-goods.net/indexinvert.php #
