Normally I would not do this, but I was sufficiently entertained by my twitter posts today–which are all self-involved, no two-way conversations here!–to just post them as a blog today. :) I shall, however, at least put them in the order they’re to be read, rather than from the bottom up as they come straight from Twitter.
