Listorama: Facebook status updates vol 30

What's on your mind, BetaRish?

Hello Facebook. Did I miss anything while I’ve been offline?

Back to real life


is back at the desk


is a disproportionate impact


Is that a spring cold I see before me?


So. We meet again.


England my country, the home of the free, such miserable weather…


is the service director of the public realm


is the eternal philistine


From Glam to Cains


Oh sinuses, up yours


is a universal point of reference


Are words enough?


has exhausted the sea of possibilities


is beginning at the beginning


is playing with his hair


is a medium


has been divulged


is a phase away


Why is not lunchtime?


So yes, good to see you again November


can’t cope with the extra level of detail Facebook wants from him


wants a goluptious day


is a book of matches


Brokin’ and smokin’


It is raining in Berlin


Came fifth in a race at Tempelhof airport, then was promptly punished for such temerity by being caught in a thunderstorm. Not bad from my first time on a bike in 18 years


Economic imperative let’s go!


delineated his day already


is absenting himself


is a t-shaped foxhog


is betrayed by words again


To meet, perchance to dream


is ringing and spinning and spinning and ringing


is blowing whistles

Data data everywhere and not a drop to think


A twinge in time is annoying


has been to Button Moon


is chthonic


has the ragmatical blues


is losing against pollen


is rampantly toxic


is a unit of chic


believes it’s something in the water


hasn’t done this today


is slipping away already


needs to be told


is scrambling to the top, and falling back down
