It’s a beautiful thing with a very simple summary page that belies the complexity of the formula-laden input sheet. The whole thing is dynamic and wonderfully easy to digest for the end user.

Hey [redacted]-
I hate to do this.
My haircut is awful.
I left the salon smiling because at one point in the chair, I was near tears and it took everything in me to contain them. I’m also not one to make a scene and embarrass people. I wanted to walk out with dignity. To do that, I had to force myself to “believe” I was happy with the cut and just get out. So what you saw from me was a...

Is there utility in following more than 50 folks on here? I think that’s sort of the upper limit past which people’s updates get ignored.

What was up with that poet?
Fearing the cold, I procrastinated inside all day. I will now brave it for the sake of the GMAT. Blind ambition makes me do crazy things!!!!

“Yep that’s right, this Saturday August 16 from 5pm onwards, the block of 580 Union St will be rockin it ghetto style. You’ve come to know and love our roof barbies, but this will be a street party ...
On the duality of chat

Shit. This was the wrong time to lose my Spanish-English dictionary.
Con Juan estoy en 990.
Is Buenos Aires the most over-hyped city in the Americas? Quite possibly.
They serve cafe with a side of seltzer here. Don’t ask.
There is a couple totally almost doing it, hand job and all, right in front of me at this pizzeria. We americans are so uptight.
Some sort of red carpet reception, with onlookers and all. Unfortunately, I recognize no one. And, well, nor do they me.
Two hours later, still at jfk. Stores closed. I’m reduced to munching beef jerky.
Airport reading is julia allison cover in wired.
Just had some of the worst wine in my life at a pizzeria off 9 de Julio. Syrupy and medicinal
So far american is delayed one hour. Fuck.

Julian and me, a propos of dating mores among the literati, keeping to one’s standards, and this:
No Rite of Spring, no chance for a fling.
I won’t tap that ass if she don’t know Philip Glass.
I don’t wanna ball if you don’t dig Chagall.
I won’t take off my clothes if you ain’t down with Coase.
If you want to get sweaty, you gotta hum Donizetti.

Fun times @ gawker. 5 spring.
Yes, I Know Exactly.
This will all sound like some hackneyed period love letter. But I cannot approach the matter any other way. So shut up and read. I am absolutely, incandescently in love with James McAvoy. And it is a slow love. It is born of careful contemplation. It is not immediate or gained a bit on the cheap as is the case with the more apparent specimens of male perfection: Brad Pitt, Colin Farrell, Antonio...
I just watched the “new and improved” E.T. where the guns have been replaced with walkie-talkies. The most lethal walkie-talkies EVAR!!
Oh my. Javier Bardem. Hugh Jackman. What’s a girl to do?
It’s always weird when ur with a group of people who’ve never heard of twitter. Yer like, “um, it’s a messaging service…but…not.”
