Smurftastic

I rarely have the ability to converse about smurfs, so I felt inclined to archive this twitter conversation (read bottom up):

wolfy13km @minatanaka @vsanghvi yeah, my entire library of smurf knowledge comes from that one donnie darko scene But I do own every TMNT episode about 3 hours ago from web in reply to minatanaka
vsanghvi @minatanaka I too grew up on the Streets (of Sesame) and TMNT. However, I still found time to learn from the communistic Smurf universe. about 3 hours ago from web in reply to minatanaka
minatanaka @vsanghvi @wolfy14km damn this is the kind of useful info you miss out on when you grow up on TMNT dubbed in japanese and PBS. about 3 hours ago from web
vsanghvi @wolfy13km @minatanaka Oddly, they still do have romantic feelings, as every smurf fell in love with Smurfette, the sole female smurf. about 3 hours ago from web
vsanghvi @wolfy13km @minatanaka Smurfs are in fact a-sexual (example: Smurfette was magically created from clay). about 3 hours ago from web in reply to wolfy13km
wolfy13km @minatanaka remember sleeping through donnie darko? Donnie flips out as his friends and tells them that smurfs are asexual about 4 hours ago from web in reply to minatanaka
minatanaka @wolfy13km i actually didn’t know smurfs were asexual…the smurf lifestyle sounds even more ideal than what i originally believed. about 4 hours ago from web
minatanaka @wolfy13km anything you’ve got. also any 80s and 90s pop music would be appreciated. the more ridiculous the better. about 4 hours ago from web
wolfy13km @minatanaka you do realize that the smurfs were a-sexual yes? just checking about 4 hours ago from web in reply to minatanaka
minatanaka @vsanghvi that was my intention. i always tried to lead my life the way papa smurf would have approved of. about 5 hours ago from web in reply to vsanghvi
vsanghvi @minatanaka So I realize your twitter pic is like all artistic and shit, but it kind of makes you look like a smurf.

Obama follows me on Twitter

Proof you say? Proof can be found in my gmail:

I was on a high until I realized Obama was whoring himself out to another 170,000 followers. Seriously?

That was a headline of some article i didn’t pay much attention to in my iGoogle. Anyways, it provides the perfect transition to a discussion of Twitter and my failed (lack of) attempt(s) at using this blog to capture personal, daily events.

side bar: Could I have just labeled the post Twitter? Yes. But what fun would that be?

back to the main stage

So, yeah, there isn’t much to say aside from the fact that producing truly private posts is more difficult than it should be, and is not sustainable from a development standpoint.

side bar: Lily Allen is annoying me right now, so if I seem cranky, there you go.

So Twitter? Yeah, Twitter. Leo made me sign up for it the other day, and although I’m still going through the motions (honestly haven’t used it much at all), I think it’d be an interesting way of capturing daily events. The obvious gotcha being privacy, but meh. Anyways, between that, and possibly making use of the Facebook status message, I think there’s a possibility of harvesting that information for self-development purposes. I’m contemplating turning this into a larger scale project so I’m holding back on details.

I guess you came all this way for nothing. Huzzah! Disappointment…
