Tweet Digests Suspended

It seems that more people hated them than there were people who liked them. So, at least for now, the tweet digests being sent by LoudTwitter (my posts titled “yesterday, in brief”) have been suspended. If this pleases you, please feel free to sound your cheers in the comments below. If you would prefer to see them still, let me know. If there is enough interest, I’ll set up a special feed for it.

Yesterday in brief

  • 09:43 Flight status is still on time. Big storm clouds here, though. Do you blame me for not trusting them? #
  • 09:46 @wearethat I died a little inside when you said that. :) #
  • 09:50 @Tim19 uh huh. Smog that drips from the sky in nice fat droplets and makes an odd rumbling noise. :) #
  • 10:02 @wearethat spread em! (the benjamins) #
  • 10:10 @wearethat quit talking about stimulation! I’m at work here! Jeez! (unless you’ve got some left over from me and it comes in a nice box) #
  • 10:20 Tired. Stayed up too late last night. Got up too early this morning. Was called by work while in the shower even. Someone help keep me up. #
  • 11:11 If I can get out of here by 1 then I can make it to the beach, photograph a tree, stop at the mall and make my flight early arrival at 605. #
  • 11:19 @Tim19 you like trees too? Wide ones or tall ones? #
  • 11:23 @agingdragqueen. Yes. For you! #
  • 12:35 Check gas. Tunnel. 3 miles. #
  • 12:40 Syracuse position will be slow to fill. Did not get a good vibe from initial correspondence. Will follow through anyway. #
  • 12:45 Tunnel traffic sucks. Bad. I really don’t want to get stopped in there again. Eek. #
  • 12:48 Only one exit remains before I am commited to this tunnel. Grr. #
  • 12:52 Going in. Wish me luck. This should take less than 5 minutes. #
  • 12:55 And… I’m out. Whew. #
  • 13:06 Traffic looks bad already and I don’t know rush hour here. Gonna give myself 2 hours to get to the airport to be safe. #
  • 13:16 I guess military planes regularly mock dog fight over VA beach. #
  • 13:18 @whatgiraffe by nature I’m assuming you mean critters and birds and macros, yes? #
  • 13:28 @whatgiraffe ok. Just making sure. Then, yeah. My last text stands. #
  • 13:38 Got a little too close to that last wave. Water’s cold. #
  • 13:51 Who sings the "Hollywood is not America" and what is he saying when he talks about blue jeans? #
  • 14:02 @tim19 ah. I see. It’s a really dumb song. Like really dumb. #
  • 14:03 @sivatonight me too! #
  • 14:28 I took a detour to avoid a 6.75mi backup at tunnel A only to find myself headed for 2 tunnels both with backups. #
  • 14:32 Do not change lanes in tunnel. #
  • 14:35 1 down 1 to go. #
  • 14:39 I’m going invent a GPS with an "avoid tunnels" button. #
  • 14:49 Check gas. Tunnel. 6 1/2 miles. #
  • 14:52 The James bridge is awesome and long. If I had time, I get a photo of it for you, Kristy. #
  • 14:56 Boats in dry dock look funny. And whatever the mounds of black stuff on the SE side of Newport news are, they stink. Bad. #
  • 15:22 @whitshea I don’t know. Is that a big pile of dark, stinky, little, black rocks? #
  • 15:26 @whitshea oh. This is mined or manufactured or something there are big belts adding more to the tops of the stinking piles. #
  • 15:33 @whitshea it’s even more gross that it’s right by the ocean doing god knows what to it. #
  • 15:39 I gave myself 2 hours to get here thinking that was way generous. It’s been almost 2 now and I’m just about there. #
  • 16:55 Surprise! My flight is delayed. Not sure by how much yet. #
  • 17:05 Looks like I’m driving to Richmond to try to make an 804. Next flight out from here leaves tomorrow. #
  • 17:11 Got a car. Leaving soon. #
  • 17:18 Ticket lady having problems booking me. Too late now. Can’t make Richmond. Leaving here tomorrow at 710am. Get in to DFW at 1130. #
  • 17:21 I called it. I so called it. If I can predict a delay, why can’t they? I miss my girls. #
  • 17:25 Ticketing lady has to call the helpdesk because it’s not letting her give me a new ticket for any flight at all. #
  • 17:45 Now to find a hotel. #
  • 18:01 I got a room! Now only if there were a hot lady waiting in it for me. #
  • 18:09 @Sheridan ha. Ha ha ha. I’ve already checked. Even the ladies have penises. #
  • 18:14 Going out for drinks with @ryanjpointer. #
  • 18:17 @sivatonight fuzzy puppy point #
  • 18:17 @sivatonight I’ll join you! … Oh … Wait … Nevermind. #
  • 18:30 Tunnel is backed up. Again. You know what this place needs? A BRIDGE! #
  • 18:34 Because this week may not seem bad enough, I forgot to tell you this: I lost the earpiece to my nice Bluetooth headset. Car ate it. #
  • 18:35 Check gas. Tunnel. 3 miles. #
  • 18:46 And now there’s an alert. Sitting in a 4.75 mile backup. Wee! #
  • 18:48 It sure is a nice night to drive with the windows open though. Awesome. #
  • 19:02 This must be the weezer song #brush was taking about. Yuck! #
  • 19:10 Only took 45 mins to go 8 miles. Awesome. Out of the tunnel now. #
  • 22:30 Driving home now. #
  • 22:36 Check gas. Tunnel. 3 miles. #
  • 23:01 At the hotel. Tired. Early flight. Gonna check email then go to bed. Don’t keep me up. This means you. (but not you, you can) #
