All this thunder has reminded me I meant to buy a back-up generator. Dang it.
RT @matmcdermott House votes to appropriate another $2 billion for Cash for Clunkers - waiting on Senate: http://bit.ly/MuTGd (for real?!)
Hello there, monsoon. I swear it was sunny a minute ago…
Husband is continuing to mow lawn despite the again-pouring rain. Guess my excuses for why the laundry’s not done are kaput for the night.
RT @redeyechicago: This is the coolest use of toilet paper I’ve seen in like … ever. http://su.pr/2rN4sk
RT @MyNC Cash for clunkers suspended: $96M of $1B of budget has been used up.
I’m finding it quite funny that the temporary suspension of clunker-palooza is due in part to processing delays. Outsourcing to AT&T?
Every time someone faxes my e-fax with a copy of an email, a little piece of me takes the rest of the day off.
Getting people to spend money on things that will save them money is a lot harder than it should be right now…
It’s days like these that I really dislike working for myself. I hate my boss sometimes…

Dear Movie Industry, the Raleigh market matters. Please let us get a theatrical release of SHRINK. We all need some big-screen @KevinSpacey
Just made my reservations official to head up to #IgniteRaleigh next Wednesday — looking forward!
By the way, I got my tickets to Obama today because I read @NewRaleigh :)
Every time he references NC, people flip out. Some are now yelling out questions at him.
People are now just clapping at random phrases. And my battery is about dead. Sigh.
That was a cool experience. Still want to know if people making more than $43k are protected w/ annual out-of-pocket caps for major issues.
Obama wants a cupcake, not a t-shirt.
Obama’s answering the last question and people are starting to leave.
The owner of the Cupcake Shoppe is introducing the Prez. Nice.
Secret service fixed a mic and was applauded.
People coming from around the curtain, SS sniper above at the window.. I feel safe. .
Press corps just walked in. Here we go!
Whoop, der he is! Obama is here!
Fresh mulch @ Broughton looks lovely, smells like dookie.
The Broughton gym is now standing room only. Any time now…
Lots of dudes talking to their wrists. He musy be close…
We prayed, did the pledge, national anthem, and now we’re waiting again. Looking for Perdue, who came and was whisked away in a flash.
Explaining and demonstrating Twitter for some older peeps in the cheap seats. Too funny.
I believe all 2000 people are now in line. We’re finally moving!
Planned Parenthood just got here with an army of pink-clothed women and signs promoting “women’s health.” Say it loud!
Okay. The conversations I’m overhearing in line @ Broughton are WILD. This is going to be fun…
On the way to Broughton to listen to Obama discuss healthcare #hc09

I can already tell, it’s going to be an Azure Ray / Cat Power kind of Tuesday… ♫ http://blip.fm/~aqqgd
No matter how hard I try to disable it, my ‘Berry keeps sending confirmations of receipt. Halp!

Light’s out at 70 and Tryon. Vrey heavy rain.
That was a really scary car ride: Saw a very pronounced funnel cloud just south of downtown and then all I saw was water. Joe liked it.

I stand enlightened. www.cars.gov RT @chriszabriskie: @renewabelle I think you have to have owned the car for a year before trading it in.
Whoa. Just signed in to GoDaddy to do some DNS magic and got a pop-up promoting a “new feature” called “Twitter.” I should sign up…
It seems only logical to buy a clunker off Craigslist to trade in if you planned to buy a new car. Spend $200 to save $4500? You betcha.
