I like seeing people's updates and getting messages (whee!), but I have no idea if I'm supposed to answer when people do the '@jabberworks' thing if I don't have much to say. I have this fear of clogging the ether with my chattering drivel. But I quite like it when my friends do, because I'm always curious what everyone's up to, especially when it's \u003Ca href=\"http://twitter.com/gnorthfield\">Gary\u003C/a> talking about birds nesting inside his flat, \u003Ca href=\"http://twitter.com/vivschwarz\">Viv\u003C/a> potting tomatoes on her roof, \u003Ca href=\"http://twitter.com/Alexmilway\">Alex\u003C/a> trying to decide what yetis do on long-haul flights or \u003Ca href=\"http://twitter.com/mrphoenix\">Woodrow\u003C/a>... this is my favourite one so far: \\r\n\u003Ci>Last night I managed to have an open bottle of Coca-Cola on the go in nearly every room (not kitchen or bathroom).

Suffice to say that even though I spent half of yesterday erasing and reloading the whole system, it still crashes five times when I start it up and gets flashing horizontal lines across the screen. Grrr, not good.\\r\n\\r\nOoh, I must go see the \u003Ca href=\"http://www.illustrationcupboard.com/news_details.aspx?nId=97\">John Vernon Lord\u003C/a> exhibition at the Illustration Cupboard before it ends on Saturday. (Thanks, \u003Ca href=\"http://www.sueeves.net/\">Sue Eves\u003C/a>, for the reminder!) I walked by the gallery on Monday after the Kuniyoshi show, but my brain was too full to take in any more pictures. Must go back.
