14:25 RT @BreakingNews: BULLETIN -- LA TIMES: MICHAEL JACKSON "NOT BREATHING" UPON ARRIVAL AT L.A. HOSPITAL.

14:56 Several news outlets reporting Michael Jackson has died.

15:13 latimes says MJ in a coma. CNN says revived by paramedics prior to reaching hospital. Waiting for actual confirmations.

15:27 LA Times is now saying MJ was pronounced dead.

13:42 Ugh. I should know better. That is all.

15:35 Lovely. Logged into the Twitter page, and it jumped me right to the feed I'm trying to stay away from. :P

17:32 Am now officially in a vile mood. Would like to fast-forward a couple of months, pls

21:01 Definitely have had better. Delayed reactions, I guess.

19:50 A little more down today than I have been. I'm still actually pretty sure it was a good call, but doesn't change how integral she was.

20:14 Heh. Stan Lee even cameos in his cartoons.

11:26 Stuff traded back this morn, and thus a little newly depressed. Am still basically OK. Am trying to treat as a learning experience.

11:27 In other news, Bizarro and The Incredible Hulk would freaking love Twitter.

16:48 Damn Sarah McLachlan and her collection of soulful, dejected beasts. So sad. Would adopt Sarah if I just had more space.

21:45 Bought Rock Band 2. Spent first hour fixing rattle in drums. Strangely, no achievements for disassembling and reassembling the controller.

20:11 At a five course dessert/wine pairing at Parcel 104 in Santa Clara!

21:28 Still fairly copacetic. Maybe it was a good call.

03:02 1/3 a bottle of Celtic Crossing later, I've been worse. Still can't shake the feeling that this should have gone better.

14:35 So far, dealing OK, if a bit alternately angry and wistful. Still unsure if it's just too new, or if this is a sign of my ongoing reaction.

23:29 Single again. Not particularly thrilled about it, but all things considered, not particularly surprised. Could use some social time.

13:36 Spamalot and ave q coming to SJ according to Mercury News!

13:14 New iPhone looks great. Can't find info on whether AT&T will allow an early upgrade, though, and I'm not due until Dec.

13:20 Ugh. Found it. $200 premium (i.e. $499 for a 32GB) to upgrade midcycle, plus an $18 fee and a reup on the contract. Waiting 'til Dec...

14:55 Crap, just realized my DL expires Sunday. Time to find out which DMVs are open tomorrow morn.

15:00 D'oh No more Saturday hours at DMV. Thanks, Ahnold. Hrm, can renew on Monday or run out and wait today.

16:20 Note to self (and @NoteBot, apparently), don't get pulled over between Monday 12:00A and 3:20P.

09:24 Sims 3 on Mac is really crashy. You should consider holding off until they fix it.

10:33 Disturbing event of the day: "@GeoRentals is now following you on Twitter!"

20:06 Good day at Maker Faire with @selkieskin and friend. Saw a few people I knew from across the grounds. Way crowded but much fun.

14:42 52" TV and new HT equipment set up. New DVD rack put together. Other DVD rack that was repurposed to paperbacks now re-repurposes to DVDs.

14:45 And with ~45 sq. ft. of DVD rack space, I'm at ~90-95% capacity, between movies and games. Next step, cull the ones on Netflix streaming.

00:14 Heh. There's a @NoteRobot now storing one's "notes to self".

08:12 Ugh, 4 hours sleep. SA picking up tv and audio rack before noon so can't resleep. Shiny 52" LCD due this aft though so is for best, I guess.

08:32 Well, crap. SA sent two small guys and no appliance dolly so they refused the TV. Gotta figure out plan B in about 4 hours.

11:14 Plan b accomplished. Thank god for my friend Brad. Tv delivered to SA. note to others: have an appliance dolly on-hand for pickup.

18:00 I have discovered that shredders are fun. The cat, however, does not agree. (And no, I did not try to shred the cat...)

23:26 Note to self. Look harder for existing remote before buying now-redundant one on eBay. Anyone need a panasonic s97s remote?

00:20 Churrascarias are the bomb, I have decided. In other news, I think I gained five lbs. tonight. Rodizios are dangerous to your waistline.
