Josh Babetski : Quixotic Bravado

Celebrating freedom with the list of things @tracibabe wants me to do before our cookout. #
Achieved the point where I can stop running around and start enjoying the day: The Captain is here; Morgan that is. Will be w/ me all day. #
Whoever invented mini-pepperonis is a genius! #

Ran into @lfaren and @bengraver leaving Market earlier. Off having lunch at Sonic with @tracibabe now. #
Running errands and rocking out to Foo Fighters. “Skin and Bones” is a great live CD. Recommended. #
Ahh… the fine messaging of central PA grocery stores. - http://bkite.com/09cIq #

Twix: Breakfast of Champions #
Don’t tell me your name and that you’re “in the house” at the beginning of your song. If your voice and sound aren’t good, no one will care. #
Loving the rapid rise of HTML5; want to go write something in it. Need more info on dealing with the web albatross that is IE. Hrm… #

OH: “You shouldn’t blow up the duck. That’s not very nice.”
This is true. #
“wow my brain stopped working right now” - http://bkite.com/0976a (via @smurfzilla) ‘Twas not I who said it. #
Gum Upgrade: Orbitz finally fixed their packaging in the Mist gum so you don’t tear out half the package & the liner when you need a piece. #
@robleto Way to pace yourself eatin’ them dogs. in reply to robleto #
@exeromai You’ll have to send me your gamertag so I can add you. In my head, I have time to start playing Halo3 again in advance of ODST. in reply to exeromai #
I have yet to submit copy to Marketing w/o a reference to monkeys. For those keeping track, today was a pick-pocketing capuchin reference. #
Copy editing with @tracibabe is turning into an intense debate over the use of “the” versus “this.” #
“Lancaster seems cooler than York. It definitely smells better.” (via @andreacecil) <sarcasm>You go Lancaster!</sarcasm> #

There’s a lot of awesomeness buried in my iTunes. There’s a lot of crap too. Liberally hitting delete while rocking out. #
Great self-eulogy by Jeff Goldblum on The Colbert Report http://bit.ly/TijvH (via @Mediabistro) #

Watched “Role Models” last night. It was dumb. Related: Wonder if that’s how @antthelimey is at Pennsic. #
Played Halo 3 for first time in over a year last night. Have to start shaking off the gaming rust before ODST drops. http://cli.gs/g9GuRT #
“Looks like a little bit of corn splatter on ya.” #

iPhone search came in handy last night. Found and played the Benny Hill theme on the speaker while people next to us keep swapping seats. #
Love when there’s something new for dinner. The excitement of “how will it taste” mixed w/”will the house burn down” preparation suspense. #
Eyes glazed over from looking at graphics and code all day. Veg time on couch watching a childish comedy with an adult beverage. #

@AdamChlan Thanks for the icon links. in reply to AdamChlan #
“Smooth Criminal has been stuck in my head since last night. At this point I really don’t care if Annie is okay.” (via @jrishel) Awesome! #
Surprised no one’s worried about the impending Thriller zombie attack on L.A. once MJ’s buried. It’s been planned & choreographed since ‘83. #
There’s a lot of really talented icon designers out there. I am not one of them. #
Ice cream and alcohol, just what this Friday needed. #

A first: Signed a document while still in the shower this morning because @tracibabe needed to leave w/ it. Should have signed it: “#Moist” #
@BHPhotoVideo has a great deal on Drobo back-up units. $329.95. Mine works like a champ. http://bit.ly/VghwJ #
I find working with vendors who are not in the tech biz frustrating. They operate in days and weeks; I operate in minutes and hours. *sigh* #
Touched by your sadness over celebs you haven’t even thought about in over 10 years. What’s the name of your last local cop killed in LoD? #
Anyone have recommended sites for icon sets both paid and free for commercial use (but not resell)? Need for web app use; weird a plus. #
