Audi, BMW and Lexus seem to be the top aspirational brands, but plenty of speculation that those days are over, what with media dying n’all.
@SnarkyPlatypus Bonjour. Je ne comprends pas pourquoi je n’ai pas vous voir plus tôt. Ma perception est un échec.
SOME OF YOU PEOPLE ARE NOT HELPING!
@MichaelPhipps Ah, y’see my question is precisely what those “executive/luxury models” would be, since I don’t know cars AT ALL.
Dear Twitterverse, what sort of cars would Australian commercial radio advertising sales managers drive? I don’t know cars.
Fri plan: Write for Crikey; lunch somewhere nice?; the client web work I failed to do yesterday; 1700 chiropractor Potts Point; TGIF.
“How Journalists Are Using Twitter in Australia” by @julie_posetti http://bit.ly/k9dbY RT [I haven’t read this yet, will do later.]
Are you a Thought Processor or an Idea Generator? Does living in a hyper-stimulated world kill our ability to innovate? http://tr.im/mJ3K
Oh, for those who asked, yes, I’m substantially better today, thanks. The post-vaccine problem is another 24-hour thing, I’m told. #toto
@ApostrophePong Just so you know, the cat that was just walking in the litter tray is now walking on your toothbrush. #tongueastoiletpaper

Emerges.
Home. Exhausted. [exit]
Mobile. Heading to Newtown for dinner. (I cancelled gym, I’m not up for it. Will I fit in an extra session next week?) Attention reduced.
@PennySharpemlc Hi, Penny. As always, it’s great to see another politician exploring Twitter. Especially a New South Wales MLC. [waves]
@NewtonMark As usual, you are destroying all of my cherished dreams. You are a cruel man.
@kdelarue I didn’t know the word “dysphemism”, so thank you. But applying it to our situation is rather… creepy.
RT @viveka: Sunset - time to put the chooks to bed. [I’m sure that’s a euphemism for something.]
New Australian passport features art of late Uta Uta Tjangala. http://tr.im/mDL2 Is the government paying his family royalties?
@jdub I have tried again now, and my world is instantly filled with rainbows and a shower of caramel cocaine. Thank you, Sir!
I mentioned the Kuleshov Effect earlier. http://tr.im/mDAt Here’s the actual, original film. http://tr.im/mDAw
@jdub If I’m at an old Crikey article like http://tr.im/mDzt which says “3 comments”, but the comments don’t show, do kittens die?
@plasmaegg Nope, I didn’t watch the SBS doco on sleep last night. We have no TV reception. I watch very little TV anyway. Seems so quaint.
@prawn_gravies No, I wouldn’t put a warning on it, and wasn’t calling for one. Just making an observation about human nature.
@babycakesjase Codeine (and ibuprofin) consumed! Thank you for your excellent advice. Is there anything else I should consume? ;) #toto
The “official” description of this hour’s Sydney light rail extension plan. http://bit.ly/SWHD3 Hat-tip @mayorofnewtown. #sydneylightrail
@prawn_gravies Curious. If it were pics of a human corpse, puppies or kittens, there’d be a warning. Not with a whale. http://bit.ly/cOOLK
Tea. Tea will help. Tea always helps. Also, thank you @iain_chalmers for the pointful cartoon. http://tr.im/mDgp #toto
@babycakesjase Hmmm… I have ibuprofin, but only with added codeine. It’s not that bad, so I’ll be a brave little seagull for now. #toto
@sylmobile Agreed, the 10-minute rule for naps is (usually) good. This is clearly not just tiredness though. It came on fast, too. #toto
I’m guessing that shortage of sleep thanks to unrelated insomnia helped push me into that 2-10%. Plus unrelated stress. #toto
Yellow Fever: “2-10% may feel tired, headache, muscle aches, fever for 24 hours starting 3-9 days after the vaccine.” Correct. #toto
A 3-hour nap has not really helped. I feel shocking. #toto
@crikey_news “Malcolm Turnbull emissions”? Try to get THAT image out of your head! :P
Having negotiated trade with the Chinese, further concessions have been made to the Feline Empire. Peace reigns once more.
@calrion No military threat yet. It’s what you’d call a “highly vocal and confrontational protest”. Bloody cats.
@archielaw That’s “herd immunity”, yes. http://tr.im/mCna It’s all about % chance of transmission. #toto
Delegates from the Feline Embassy advise the smaller-than-usual breakfast was unacceptable. Current policy calls for prompt rectification.
@Jen_Bennett Not Gatorade. Gastro-stop and Gastrolyte. But correct, no more coffee for me today. Does anyone need more details? ;) #toto
@archielaw Erm, no, they didn’t mention the vaccine is “pretty much useless”. Ah, I see… “efficacy approximately 85%”. Bother. #toto
Thankfully the 1100 radio interview has been rescheduled, and I can sloth a bit before doing some webby work this afternoon.
“Oral inactivated cholera vaccine (Dukoral)… gastrointestinal adverse effects are most common.” Yes, they are. Grrr. #toto
Writing. Attention limited.
RT @derekbradley: Audi’s tagline “Vorsprung durch Technik”; English translation, “Get out of the … way, you dickhead!” http://tr.im/mJrV
@juhasaarinen Well, yeah, but consecutive tweets = reasonable assumption they’re connected, eh? :)
RT @mtats: According to ‘Top Gear’, Audis are driven by knobs and dickhead and BMWs less so. So the answer is ‘Audi’. [Makes sense.]
@juhasaarinen Also, my all-caps tweet was not related to my question, so if that’s your angle, well, you just happen to be wrong. [shrugs]
@juhasaarinen Sorry, asking for advice occasionally is now “all the time” and “leeching”? And which “we” do you speak for, exactly?
