10:11 Our flatmate took a lot of stuff when he left yesterday & never came home. Said hello, but not goodbye. I wonder if he moved out.. #
10:55 @Gomisan Oooh. That sucks. #
10:57 @teleksterling They just kind of happen once you start getting chatty yourself. (Look - here's another one for you!) #
10:59 @caffeinebomb I have to add he's been a great housemate. It's more like knowing someone in the same apartment block. We say hi & that's it. #
17:35 Bâtiments : Buildings #
20:57 I'm really not used to daylight in the evenings which doesn't go hand in hand with warm weather. 9pm still sunny - bloody freezing. #

11:47 Wow. When it rains here it REALLY rains. I feel like I'm inside a fish tank that works backwards. #

10:26 Er, I'm pretty sure the tradey that just showed up at my door just suggested that we have sex. In Spanish. With hand actions. *creeped out* #
10:58 @katiehog I'm sure he was sent here by my landlord to clean up the driveway (as he said). But, then it just got weird. And very creepy. #
11:00 @DeadPlayground Do I want to know what that means? *Googles* Oh. I really didn't. (Damn Google). #
14:07 @timelady Or, in fact, cheesecakes, sci-fi, iPhones or anything but the LabF site. :P #LabF #

15:23 I hate that to join Twibes you have to tweet. It put me off for a long time and it definitely puts me off joining many. #
17:32 @Sirjohn_writer Small world - I've met the author (Petra Rankin) and I was at her book launch. Awesome girl (and her book is a good read). #
19:49 @RadSpectacular You are awesome. Yay for publicity!!! Is it on Youtube?? I wanna see! #

10:39 Sorting out real followers from spammers would be much easier if Twitter could show you bio/following/follower/amount of posts/recent posts. #
10:40 I mean, the bio is shown on hover. Why not have that shown inline and have recent posts (Power Twitter-style) on hover? #
10:42 .. Or maybe this is a job for Power Twitter?? (PS I hope Twitter eventually joins forces with PT) #
11:12 @vampSaam Not really what I was thinking.. :) #
12:22 @Gomisan I try to do the same, but my followers are increasing more rapidly than I have time to check them. It's daunting. #
12:23 @DeathbyChii Okay, now you have to tell us about the bird. :P #
14:19 @DeathbyChii Wow. I think you and @beyondomega really should be introduced. Bring on the crazy bird stories. :) #
15:40 An unattended GPS in the hallway just woke up and told me to turn right after 80 metres. I wonder where it wants me to go.. o_0 #

10:42 @DeadPlayground Not actually in Paris. Same country, though. Anyway, I'm originally an Adelaidean so I'm not all that foreign to you. :) #
10:44 @PeyrenegreGites Ah, yes. According to Wikipedia it's either giving lilies, protesting. Lilies sounds nicer, I think. ;) #
11:41 RT @antonvowl Naked Swedish men dancing with small plates www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUGixt5IKns #
12:20 @stageplay Karl Jenkins is awesome. I'm a huge fan of "The Armed Man" and "Requiem". :) #
19:33 @stageplay I love it all. I really want to perform in the choir one day while "The Armed Boy" (the movie that goes with it) is played. :) #

09:19 .. And a bleary good morning to you all. Wish I knew how to sleep in sometimes. #
09:54 @vampSaam I've been asking @thornae for 'sleeping in' lessons for ages. He sleeps through them. :P #
10:58 I'm forcing myself to listen to French commercial radio for the French practise. It's surprising how much English music is played. #
13:39 Ayo bit.ly/19qswc - I can distinctly hear them change a line to "This is virgin radio". Not in the lyrics. Subliminal advertising? #
13:53 @vampSaam Ça va mal. Je déteste la radio commerciale. #
14:22 @fredharrison I think it's only changed for Virgin radio, so you won't hear it on a CD. It's possibly also only for non-English countries. #
14:24 @fredharrison Oh, and it's the second to last line of the chorus (in case anyone in France wants to listen sometime). #
18:14 Wow. It's nearly Mayday again. Does anything happen in France on Mayday? Do expat Morris dancers come out to play? #
18:48 @helenthornber Do freelancers get to eat the whole cake? #cakefriday #
20:07 @unipede Haha. But of course the French would have Maurice Dancers. Why didn't I think of that? :P #

12:39 RT @codinghorror: Twenty years later, even in OS X, the Macintosh still has a little bit of a Swedish campground in it. is.gd/tQuG #
17:30 Wondering if I should unfollow celebrities and businesses who don't follow back (and instead add them as imaginary friends on Friendfeed). #
17:45 @ikki_oo I was meaning more like the businesses/celebrities who don't follow anyone, since I know they're never going to reciprocate. #
17:46 @ikki_oo Oh, and thanks! :D #
17:54 @jasonbstanding The problem is I've hit the limit and can't follow anyone else. Plus, I will still get their content in FF. #
17:57 Or maybe Twitter should reconsider the following/follower ratio limit now there are many businesses and celebrities that don't follow back. #
18:13 @jasonbstanding I was quite happy with them not following me until Twitter stopped me from following anyone else. Now it's a problem. #

09:35 @lexiphanic Agen's really lovely actually. It has a river, a canal and lots of old buildings & I get heaps of birds and squirrels visiting. #
09:37 @randulo Thanks - I was thinking of giving English lessons online after I do a TEFL/TESOL/EFL/ESL course. Soon, just for extra cash. #

12:45 @prettyredwater I'll almost definitely get around to putting up pics later today (tomorrow at worst). Promise :D #
12:46 @timelady I know. Paul does genius things every day, but the world thinks he's cool because of a shoe phone. Crazy! #

20:30 The pizza that has just about finished cooking smells soooooo good. #
21:48 Mmm. First time making pizza dough from scratch. It was awesome. There's no way I could screw that up more, yet it was fantastic. *beams* #
