Microblog: 2009-01-31

  • Watching Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on TV. This is different from old TMNT on Star. This has stupider turtles and a way stronger Shredder. #
  • Liked “The Loneliness of the Early Adopter” http://ff.im/-POp3 #
  • I think the ’25 Random Things About You’ business on Facebook and Blogs is fairly lame and gay! #

  • @Reetesh Is Naruto gay or bi-curious? Officially or semi-officially. This is something I’ve never had a clear answer about. in reply to Reetesh #
  • @kaex88 Principally, I just hate all ads. NYT has too many of them. Especially hate their interstatials. in reply to kaex88 #
  • @Reetesh Sounds like a confirmed case to me. I watched only one episode and instantly realized that there was something shady about him. #
