What I would have updated during my Twitter hiatus

Last week on August 6 the unthinkable happened. Twitter got hacked, Facebook was slowed down tremendously, and Livejournal was hacked. Social network junkies everywhere went insane.

I was fine. I just continued to update like nothing went wrong.

Thus, in honor of this back-to-school season instead of writing a "What I did on my summer vacation" essay, I will have "What I would have updated during my Twitter hiatus."

10:45 p.m. Facebook is being stupid and slow this morning.

10:50 a.m. Stupid Internet won't let me get onto Twitter.

11:04 a.m. Friend just told me Twitter is down everywhere. Claims its because someone hacked into his account and he's getting even.

11:13 a.m. This is useful. www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com. Good to know. Twitter is def. down.

11:30 a.m. Oh. This is terrible. Yet hilarious. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtMRddAIHx0&feature=email

11:43 p.m. TWITTER GET BACK. I NEED TO KNOW WHAT ASHTON KUTCHER AND MILEY CYRUS ARE DOING.

11:58 p.m. I love sarcasm. http://www.cracked.com/article_17677_if-sarcasm-ruled-world.html

12:15 p.m. Fine. I'll admit it. I feel like I'm missing out on the fun w/Extreme Makeover being in town and I'm not there.

12:24 p.m. Some Washington Post columnist thinks having FB going slow and Twitter being down is good for us. Pssh.

12:25 p.m. Ha. This is even better. AP says in the 21st century, good to ask whether world will collapse when social networks go down.

12:27 p.m. Whoa. LiveJournal is down too? Kinda creepy. I don't care what you say AP author, I will not spend time on MySpace instead.

12:30 p.m. Oh! Twitter is back up. Ain't that nice.

Since then, Twitter has gotten hacked into again (on Aug. 12) for a short period of time. Both times I noticed and was slightly perturbed. I was perturbed that it happened and perturbed that it bothered me so much.

That's So Shway

My favorite band MuteMath has a new album coming out Aug. 18. They just released a video of them playing live in Tokyo. The hilarious part is the first second. I think the leader singer is yelling "sh*t" at the beginning? I hope not...
