Twitter: A Shitbox For Your Brain
January 31st, 2010 | brainjuice
For a while, I had a capture of my twitter feed running here. It ended up doing something weird to my API calls, stopping me from running my desktop client, so I killed it. Which is probably just as well, as I talk a lot of shit on Twitter. It’s basically mental slurry, the wet lumpy bits from a day spent at the keyboard vented off into a trap so the buildup doesn’t blow some crucial valve in my head. Look at these, from the last six weeks or so:
* Stratford looks more and more like the construction site for the tenth circle of hell
* Apparently Oral Roberts is dead, but no reports yet of his being staked, beheaded and garlic being shoved in the stump
* I’m told that @Paul_Cornell is so mean that he once staked a vampire with his willy and left it to sparkle to death on the lawn
* Also, @ZolaJesus once fucked all the hair off a werewolf and threw it in the snow to die
* Anthrax found in dead Glaswegian heroin user. It’s true: anthrax is undetectable in Glaswegian food.
* Jobless, homeless people everywhere, and not one offers me rental of their freshly disinterred guts for warmth. They must WANT to be poor.
* Why do Xmas cards never show a woman in a shit-covered cowshed squatting a baby out into a rotting feed trough?
* I just became the mayor of your wife on #foursquare
* So, listen, I’ve been thinking a lot about field-dressing you and wearing your skin like a cape. But not in a creepy way.
* Warren’s Rule: if Warren has been awake less than two hours, then it is Morning, no matter what the clock says
* GF and daughter stranded in car in sudden snowfall. May be in market for new GF and/or daughter. Send CVs.
* Okay, they made it home alive. So if we can just pretend my last send didn’t happen, that’d be great. (Email CVs privately, for future ref)
* I worry for the minds of all the people voting for me in the Shorty Awards for "cultural institution."
* Haven’t trimmed my beard in so long that it’s gone from Crackling Virility Hedge to Hobo Rape Thicket.
* Me: iTunes For Windows, you are an evil bloated piece of shitware. iTunes: HA HA FUCK YOU THERE IS NO ESCAPE
* pitching my new kid’s tv show THE OMAR LITTLE / BROTHER MOUZONE ACTION HOUR
* Since the dawn of time itself, humans have dreamed of killing other humans with sharpened ducks
* Haven’t shaved my head in a few days, and now my skull has the texture of an old Fuzzy-Felt board
* pitching my new TV show THE IT’S REALLY NO DIFFERENT FROM VICTORIANS TOURING ASYLUMS FOR FUN ON A SUNDAY FACTOR
* That new Pan Sonic/Keiji Haino record: nice fuzzy drone, then someone pukes a million exploding frogs into a steel toilet.
* Tomorrow, "dogs" will be reclassified as "air sharks," and dolphins as "bastards of the ocean." Good night.
* People say I complain a lot about things, but good news! Oral Roberts is still dead.
* The worst thing about being self-employed is the constant workplace sexual abuse from my boss.
* Child: talking endlessly about wanting a raccoon. Me: thinking about feeding her to one.
* Ah, Skullflower. I love how your CDs still sound like a mad priest using a power drill to make an iron and rabbit smoothie.
* Martian rover Spirit stuck in sand for good: which is of course what happens when you give a human’s job to a skateboard.
* The stages of listening to a new Eluvium album: 1) this is pretty 2) I feel cold 3) I really am totally alone 4) death sounds warm

>>>* Me: iTunes For Windows, you are an evil bloated piece of shitware. iTunes: HA HA FUCK YOU THERE IS NO ESCAPE
OK, that made me laugh out loud soooo much.
So, will you be getting a MacBook anytime soon to solve this problem?
*laughing*
Like I said 7 hours ago on Twitter.
God damn it, Warren. Just…God damn it.
I would watch the hell out of the omar little/brother muzone action hour. Oh yes.

That just made my GF and I explode laughing. YES PLZ SIR.

warren, you may be the single greatest marketing tool twitter has ever known. yet, i still resist….
The only disappointment about the eagerly anticipated Omar Little/Brother Mouzone Action Hour is we cannot watch them kill Oral Roberts, as he is still dead. And undoubtedly hanging out with similarly-situated Generalissimo Francisco Franco.
I would pay real yankee dollars to see this show.
My takeaway? Going to find Eluvium online.
