What I'm doing right now (via Twitter)

  • Drinkin' in the Mission with @sarahcuda, @livandlove and @sadkids 7 hrs ago
  • Thinking that the owners of the "Video Only" store may be regretting their branding decision. 14 hrs ago
  • Right! Off for lunch with @sarahcuda and @livandlove at a cafe that sounds like the name of a shmaltzy teen drama. 14 hrs ago
  • During my employment, @sarahcuda wouldn't let me make eye contact with her and insisted I call her "your ladyship". Bit weird, tbh. 15 hrs ago
  • Just broke a hard and fast rule. Seem to be doing that a lot lately, and always for the same reason. 1 day ago

  • milberg (lisa milberg) said: @paulcarr And VHS or Beta. On the upside their indecisive days are over. β! very the artist formerly known as Prince.
  • robertloch (robertloch) said: @sarahcuda having @paulcarr as a pa is like having me as a yoga instructor - amusing but pointless. Ask him to be your personal magician.
  • sarahcuda (Sarah Lacy) said: @paulcarr handled being my acting personal assistant for all of 24 hours. why does no one stay in this job??
  • gilliebee (Gillian Brouse) said: @paulcarr :-) It's a good thing I pay attention to your tweets. The more I listen, the more you make me giggle (in a good way).
