The Chicken Incident

What has Twitter Done for Me in Real Life?
A few days ago I was contacted by Misty Harris, a reporter for Canwest News Service. She was doing an article on some Canadian Twitterers and what sort of effect it has had on their offline life — book deals, job opportunities, etc. She asked me to send her my experiences.

But if you are interested, here is...

Just say "Fine"
“How are you?”
“Not good, man. Not good. I can’t get the word ‘vagina’ out of my head. Seriously. Right now I’m talking to you, but I can see the word ‘vagina’ flashing in the corner of my mind’s eye. Blink. Vagina! Blink. Vagina! Blink. Vagina! We’re talking one hundred and sixty-three days now. I’ve tried everything....

“Ok, here’s the plan. Since the cake is in my backseat, we’ll have to take your car-“
“Batmobile.”
“Fine. ‘Batmobile’. We’ll stop by Costco for the pizza bagels and jalapeño poppers-“
“Batpoppers.”
“Really? Whatever. Then we have to head over to the liquor store and pick up the keg I ordered-“

My wife sends an email on her iPhone. It makes the “message sent” sound. The sound ends. She starts making more sounds, imagining the email going on a more fanstastical journey.
I hear the email flying through space.
I love her.

– My wife. Memes are weird.

Louder
On our drive to work in the morning, Beth and I listen to my iPhone through the car stereo. We put it on shuffle and Beth’s in charge of skipping the songs we — i.e., she — doesn’t want to listen to.
