  • Just got an Oasis Humidifier. Apparently it needs distilled water. #
  • My feed is broken. I cannot figure out why. (sigh) I can't even view the original feed. It just redirects to feedburner. #
  • Figured it out. I have only one thing to say to the wp-insert plugin, but it's not twitter appropriate. #
  • Lots of people saying that I should send out four email newsletters a month. I don't think I can do that! #
  • RT @conniesc: playing for Pepe Romero master class tomorrow at USC! Newman Hall, 7-10pm. #
