farewell, office.
I might just curl up in a little ball on the beanbag. Wake me up when it's May. The 5th.
going out to my own leaving lunch. by myself. alone. in the cold. I'll probably just have worms.
They said I was crazy! They said it'd never work! I'll show them! I'll show them all! The fools! I'll make them pay!

My theory is that foot fetishes are as widespread as they are mostly because it's really fun to say. Foot fetish foot fetish foot fetish.

Social Networking: how to irritate people on a massive scale!
LongWeekend is looooooooooong
I'd like to cancel my subscription to Winter, please. I'll just carry on using Summer, if that's okay.
Breaking news: Friday cancelled. Citizens to return to their beds.
I fail at pub quiz. Turns out Jackie Chan isn't the correct answer to every movie question.

even in the darkness, with a few candles lit, and a bottle of wine, the peace of Cape Town is awesome.
if it's not a beautiful sunset or sunrise, it's a vista of Cape Town lights spread out to the horizon. When isn't it awesome?

I know several people (including myself) who got spammed by BulkSMS asking them to guestblog. Why would I work for a spammer?

Dear World, Facebook != Internet. Facebook plays catch up and does it badly. Your walled garden is not a happy place. Love, Jonathan

what a ridiculously awesome day in Cape Town
it's 2:30pm. Do you know where your children are?
what shall we do to fill the empty spaces where we used to speak?
Sedulously eschew obfuscatory hyperverbosity and gratuitous prolixity. Assiduously espouse elucidation and requisite pellucidity.
there is no spoon.
that's just perverse.
the most amazing thing just happened to me.
whut? where am I? who is this? what's going on?

Mission accomplished.
Destination: Chef Pons. Mission: buy dinner for my sisters. I feel confident.
Sleepless in Cape Town
I'll be honest, loadshedding has done nothing but good for me
if one is loadshod, what can one do, but go home?
Abort, Retry, or Fail?
I do enjoy being able to reach over and punch a fellow twitterer should the necessity arise.
all the decisions in my company may be made by drunken lemurs, but we still have chocolate cake in the office.
Oh stop. You're making me blush.
I sometimes come into the office a bit late, I know, but I try to make up for it by leaving early.
I was so sure my search would end, when I found God. But then I couldn't find my keys, and my cat ran away.

why is Cape Town so awesome? I don't think it's fair. But I'm not complaining.
the hills are alive with the sound of Sunday morning traffic - songs they have sung for maybe 30, 35 years
those crazy Vietnamese. May not be up for much in terms of non-jungle terrain, but they shore cook a fine soup
the sort of day which, if you met it on the street, you'd pat on the shoulder soothingly. "Cheer up!" you'd say. "Tomorrow's another day!"
the 110th day of the year - Bicycle Day and Primrose Day. We're 30% into the year. 249 days until Christmas!

I unreservedly and wholeheartedly pronounce this Friday afternoon to be tolerable.

This is your weekly reminder that Twitter is not Gtalk (or insert your instant-messenger of choice here).

I'd just like to say at this point that sometimes a 3 minute nap on a hard wooden table is more restful than a whole night's sleep
