Drinkin' in the Mission with @sarahcuda, @livandlove and @sadkids 4 hrs ago
Thinking that the owners of the "Video Only" store may be regretting their branding decision. 10 hrs ago
Right! Off for lunch with @sarahcuda and @livandlove at a cafe that sounds like the name of a shmaltzy teen drama. 11 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. 11 hrs ago
Just broke a hard and fast rule. Seem to be doing that a lot lately, and always for the same reason. 22 hrs ago

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.
