Twitter Weekly Updates for 2009-03-16
March 15th, 2009 by Brock
- Daughter is at Granny’s house, so it’s a relatively quiet night at home. She returns Wednesday, so two nights of painting ahead. #
- I like how Yahoo! touts their bloggers and columnists as “Exclusive.” I’ve had to correct one of them before. I’m not impressed. #
- At Mom’s house tonight. Got to see Jimmy’s dad today. All’s well in south Alabama. Thinking of going home to Geneva to see how things are. #
- Just finished watching “Independence Day.” Saw it in the theater in Austin, TX, 1996. Everyone in there cheered when Houston got nuked. #
- Glad it’s spring break. I’ll be working, but hopefully all will be quiet on campus next week. #
- @bowerep Love those energy-draining lunches and afternoon meetings! in reply to bowerep #
- Sleepy. #
- @Tex3911 I was thinking, “Someone left him out a little too long.” in reply to Tex3911 #
- @Tex3911 You scared me when you said funeral for Millard Fuller. He’s been dead for a while. Glad to see it’s a memorial service instead. in reply to Tex3911 #
- @Umatter2Charter Thank you. I’m locked in for two years with another provider, but will reconsider when the time is up. in reply to Umatter2Charter #
- @Umatter2Charter The local rep here did treat me well with a 2-yr Internet guarantee, so we kept it. But I’ve now cut our TV bill in half. in reply to Umatter2Charter #
- @Umatter2Charter The service itself was not terrible, but my bill seemed to go up every month. It got to the point I had enough. in reply to Umatter2Charter #
- @coryodonnell I am learning to appreciate the new DVR, but it’s not the same. I can’t watch YouTube videos, and the interface isn’t as fun. in reply to coryodonnell #
- @coryodonnell I feel horrible for giving up my TiVo, but Charter was so bad and expensive, I had to. My TiVo HD isn’t compatible.
in reply to coryodonnell # - I want to hug my DirecTV HD DVR even though I still love my old TiVO HD more. #
- @mat1583 Sleep all you can now, my good man. One was hard enough. Two … oh, my.
in reply to mat1583 # - The U.N. calls the U.S. “deadbeat.” Ok, so get your headquarters out of our country, and get us out of the U.N. You’re worthless anyhow. #
- @coryodonnell Comment on the blog: “What did he ring the doorbell with?” LOL! #
- @coryodonnell That’s cool. I do miss some of the perks working in T.V. in reply to coryodonnell #
- @coryodonnell That’s awesome you got to spend time with him. He’s always been so funny to me. in reply to coryodonnell #
- @coryodonnell Awesome! I know you’re a tall guy, but you dwarf him! I didn’t know he was that short. And why is his hair longer now? in reply to coryodonnell #
- @coryodonnell Definitely get a pic! Hal is awesome! in reply to coryodonnell #
- @mat1583 It’s been awful, I know. No more Moe’s until you’re completely over this. in reply to mat1583 #
- Sick and tired of only getting four or five hours of sleep. #
- @mat1583 Feel better, man. Sorry about the bug. in reply to mat1583 #
- Charter is H-I-S-T-O-R-Y! Viva DirecTV! It is beautiful! #
- This is breaking my heart even more to see all this coverage from home. I can’t believe my sleepy little town is enduring this. #
- Who scheduled two news conferences at the same time on the same subject? As a former reporter, that drives me a little nuts. #
- Why am I seeing one press conference live on WSFA and another live on MSNBC? Both about Samson/Geneva, but different conferences. #
- Waiting on the DirecTV guy. After that, it’s off to the #charter office to cancel our high payments and service! #
- @mat1583 Lol! Here’s a toast to a healthy stomach for you! in reply to mat1583 #
- Calling on fellow Geneva/Samson folks. I’ve got a lady from the BBC needing reaction / interviews from those still close by. #
- I grew up in Geneva and graduated from Geneva High. I never thought a shooting spree could happen. Top story on Drudge Report right now. #
- Absolutely stunned by the shooting spree back home in Geneva and Samson. #
- @mat1583 I hear ya. I’m feeling fine right now, but Moe’s always gets angry with me later in the day. I hope you feel better soon! in reply to mat1583 #
- It’s going to be a Tums kind of afternoon. Moe’s for lunch. So good … so painful. #
- @bowerep Because GroupWise is an excellent piece of software. ;-P in reply to bowerep #
- Another day, another short night of sleep. At least I’m off tomorrow. Will check on mortgage options and DirecTV will free me from #Charter! #
- That last tweet was no disrespect to my friends and old co-workers @wtvm. I just got so fed up with local news, I don’t follow it anymore. #
- Now following @wtvm. Don’t know why. Haven’t watched but three newscasts since I left there a year ago. I don’t miss being a reporter. #
- Alright … This is a little too close to home. Close the borders to illegals NOW!: Mexican cartels plague Atlanta, http://snurl.com/dh2nz #
- @McKinney_N14 Thanks, man! I had an interactive widget, but our servers blocked some of the feeds. in reply to McKinney_N14 #
- Yes! The weather bug finally works! It’s not the one I wanted, but it tells you the current temp/condition in Auburn. http://www.auburn.edu #
- New *revised* weather widget (more like a static bug) looks like it’s working well. May be making it live today. #
- T minus two days until #charter is history at my house. Your overpriced service is outta here! #
- That time change really screwed up my sleep last night. It normally doesn’t, but I only got about 4.5 hours. #
- Another early morning. Sleeeeeeeep … #
