Today's Tweet-Dribbles

140 character brain-splurts of the day...

• 13:39 Well, Melon Medley, you had a good innings as my Pregnancy Food Fad Du Jour. Now make way for the hilariously named 'Craisins'! #
• 14:01 I'm not telling my #firstrecord btw, because I think it's a scam to get my National Insurance Number. And not because it was 'Doop'. #
• 14:34 Creepy that even a reply Tweet mentioning Whitstable gets RTd. Like being watched by the oyster themed, poorly planned seaside town itself. #
• 14:53 I love all these teenagers crushing on Spock after seeing the new film.It makes 10yo me feel less weird. Oh to have had an internet in 1990. #
• 16:40 And you can fuck off with your Express Headlines in your MEP Pamphlet, Cameron. Hardly a credible source of unbiased journalism. #
• 16:43 Does feel nice ripping up UKIP and Tory pamphlets for my loony lefty recycling bin though. #
• 19:10 It's Friday Night, it's Muller Fruit Corner Night! Black cherry & chocolate to see in this weekend. Rock! And! Roll! #
• 20:41 Fox just sent me an email reminding me that Night At The Museum 2 is out at the kino today. How could I forget? It's on my calendar. In red. #
• 20:42 What I want to know is how 20th Century Fox got my email in the 1st place. I *told* George Clooney not to pass it on! #
• 23:10 I can't decide which Corey I like the best. #80stweets #
• 23:15 One second. Let me just write down a 140 character message and then fax it to 150 people I don't know... #80stweets #
• 23:17 That River Phoenix has a great career ahead of him, I'm telling yer. #80stweets #
• 23:18 But I guarantee you, in 20 years time, nobody will have a clue who Wil Wheaton is. #80stweets #
• 23:20 George Michael is as straight as they come. Him being Gay's about as likely as Hugh Laurie becoming an American hearthrob. #80stweets #
• 23:37 You know who seems really nice? That OJ Simpson fella. #80stweets #
• 23:39 That Jonathan King seems really nice too. Saw him at the Radio 1 Roadshow, he gave my son a lovely smile. #80stweets #
• 23:41 RT@Hilary_WSomeone just mouth-tweeted at me. What's that called again? Oh yes, 'speaking'... < Hee! #
• 23:44 Why yes, I would *love* a velvet headband with my name written on in Puffy Pen! #80stweets #
• 23:45 Wax Jackets: Classy and timeless. #80stweets #
• 23:46 You're wearing a Shell Suit? Oooh, get Mister Futuristic over here! #80stweets #
• 23:57 Well, thank God those nice Muslims defeated the Soviets in Afghanistan. Another crisis averted, thanks to Western Weaponry! #80stweets #
• 23:58 This isn't curry. It doesn't have sultanas in it. #80stweets #
• 23:59 I just can't get enough of Princess Sarah! #80stweets #

Automatically shipped by LoudTwitter

My twitterings just got quieter

I've put the Loudtweet whatisit on hold for a while. Tweeting's wicked ace fun and all that, but it's a bit of a scattergun approach to blogging - all well and good on a Twitterfeed, but looking through the automatic lists of my Tweets shipped onto this LJ lately, it just looks mad, especially when I indulge in a hashtag punwar or two in a day (addicted to those pun games, BTW, as I'm sure it shows). To you guys being confronted with another of my automatic Tweet Feeds must be like finding yourself in some godawful Experimental Drama Piece where short, sharp, disjointed inanities and half-jokes are barked at you at random until you scream 'Nooooo' and drop to your knees, followed by stage blackout and the five people left in the audience hesitantly and unenthusiastically applauding, then dashing out to see a Fringe show with someone they've actually heard of in it.

That is all. Continue with your weekends.

Rerun Preparations

Well! A trip to Mothercare was called for today in order to try to make the Rerun Anxiety Dreams a little less frequent... all we really needed was a suitable-from-birth double buggy (Yes, Vi can walk perfectly well, but she's usually very slow and doesn't always hold our hands in busy places - it's much easier at the moment if we need to go far, get somewhere quickly or she needs a drink/snack and we don't have time to stop to pop her in a buggy for some of the walk - especially if it's only me, and especially if my attention will be divided with a newbie) and a new expressor, steriliser and new bottles since the ones we had from Vi have gone a bit manky. Also splurged on new feeding nighties for me (Rock & Roll!) and a bathroom step for Vi to reach the sink since she's suddenly decided she wants to brush her teeth herself. Just so happened that Mothercare are having a massive sale this weekend, so we ended up saving loads - at least £50. Carseat, Moses basket, bedding and some unisex newborn clothes are already in our possession from last time, I've already bought him a few more newborn boy's clothes (just vests, little jogging bottoms, babygros and a hat - why you can get little shirts and jeans for a newborn baby is beyond me!) and got him some nappies (so tiny compared to Vi's Trainer Pants!) yesterday.

So I think we're pretty much set now. I've even started packing my Hospital Bag tonight. This time my hospital bag is around 5 times smaller than the monster I took when I had Vi. The Midwives laughed at me when they saw the size of it - I really had packed a stupid amount of stuff. Quelle n00b. Well, not this time.
