Repeat Tweets: Mavs, CWS and a Road Trip

Repeat tweets from June, 2011:

  • 2011 06 01 - Judging by my inbox, looks like Rick Perry is lending his mailing list to Newt Gingrich. Evidence that Perry is *not* running for President?
  • 2011 06 03 - Maybe you missed it watching the Mavs celebrate at buzzer, but Dwyane Wade flopped after missing that last second shot. Down he went. Again.
  • 2011 06 03 - Scott Coulson, band director at Mesquite Poteet HS, is retiring. Great band program. Great kids. Great director. Hats off.
  • 2011 06 03 - Mavs fans, how's it feel knowing the whole country wants your team to win. Or the other team to lose. Except this guy. http://t.co/vZAbDyy
  • 2011 06 03 - Toy Story 3 (2010): Looking back, I probably should have watched this with a 5-year-old. Spoiler alert: Lotso is Darth Vadar. C+
  • 2011 06 04 - Looks like Richardson has its eye on some property between Belt Line and Spring Valley, Hyde Park and Floyd. New park? http://bit.ly/jyqcvN
  • 2011 06 05 - Nowitzki threw the ball away on second last possession, then missed a jumper at the buzzer. But he didn't flop on either. Give me that, huh?

After the jump, more repeat tweets.


  • 2011 06 06 - Headline: "Alan King Named DISD Interim Superintendent." DISD admits what everyone knows -- the district is a joke -- and hires a comedian.
  • 2011 06 06 - I like quirky, but I won't be adding Jean-Luc Godard's "Film Socialisme" to my Netflix queue. What's the llama doing at the gas station?
  • 2011 06 07 - Cal baseball team eliminates Rice then Baylor in NCAA Houston Regional. In deciding game, Cal scores 4 runs in bottom of 9th to beat Baylor.
  • 2011 06 07 - Stefani Carter makes PolitiFact Texas's list of most viewed fact-check articles with her attack on pay of school supers. http://t.co/AHUJ2xp
  • 2011 06 08 - Anybody else like me? Before reading another Anthony Weiner story, I first check to see if there's a later story announcing his resignation?
  • 2011 06 09 - As clock ticks down to government default, we're told we need an "adult conversation" about the debt. So, we talk about ... Weiner jokes.
  • 2011 06 09 - Isn't it sweet how the few remaining reasonable Republicans are discovering Jon Huntsman and developing a crush on him? http://t.co/1G1xVGF
  • 2011 06 09 - Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-WV): If there's an odder duck in Washington, I'd like to know who it is. http://t.co/on6u6XW
  • 2011 06 09 - Biggest win in Mavs franchise history? 2 chances to win 1 in Miami for the championship. You gotta like those odds, but Miami won't quit.
  • 2011 06 09 - The Runaways (2010): biopic of girl rock band. Snapshot of wretched excess of 1970s. Characters are shallow. Not even music saves movie. D+
  • 2011 06 11 - The first in a series of observations by bloggermouse, a substitute teacher in the RISD. The rest should be interesting. http://t.co/giaMX54
  • 2011 06 13 - City official: Dallas has had a Mavericks championship parade plan "in place for several years." Why doesn't he just say since June, 2006?

  • 2011 06 13 - 9 minutes in, I gave up on CNN's GOP presidential debate. Like a game show. 7 second opening statements. 1st question hijacked by moderator.
  • 2011 06 15 - Mavs' DeShawn Stevenson busted for public intoxication. Trash talk. Tasteless T-shirt. Now, drunk. Trade him to Miami. http://t.co/79cC991
  • 2011 06 15 - Headline: "Mavs hope to keep Chandler, Barea to defend title." Not yet even a parade and still, time marches on. http://t.co/kpxWCKz
  • 2011 06 15 - Texas Rep. Stefani Carter caves to Tea Party on Speaker Pledge Cards. http://t.co/LkLp2rH
  • 2011 06 16 - Headline: "Angry Canadians Rampage Over Stanley Cup Loss." I know. Angry Canadians. Oxymoron. Stay classy, Dallas! #MavsParade
  • 2011 06 16 - Bleacher Report picks Wisconsin over Nebraska in Big Ten 2011 football title game. Nebraska. Big Ten. Still sounds odd. http://t.co/T1ZtqE8

  • 2011 06 17 - Headline: "Richardson's Bush Turnpike development chosen for CLIDE award." This development will be huge plus for city. http://t.co/ENQpurQ

  • 2011 06 19 - @TheSlowPath, streetcars in Richardson. Stimulating thought. Put a line on Campbell from Coit to Plano. And extend Greenville to Galatyn.
  • 2011 06 20 - @TheSlowPath, Galatyn has offices, apts and DART. Campbell/Eastside has restaurants and apts. What better than a streetcar to connect them?
  • 2011 06 20 - @TheSlowPath, Richardson has 4 DART stations and lot of big gaps in between. A streetcar line up Greenville Ave. could tie it all together.
  • 2011 06 20 - Texas Longhorns whiff in Omaha at College World Series. North Carolina 3, Texas 0. Texas is out. A&M is still alive. http://t.co/y5VkaUA
  • 2011 06 21 - Today feels like the longest day of the year. And it's not even Monday.
  • 2011 06 23 - Guys and Dolls at RCT: Unsure how long this oldie but goodie can last. Still fun. Good acting, singing, staging by Richardson theater. C+
  • 2011 06 24 - Peter Falk dies. RIP ... That reminds me. I wanted to ask him about just one more thing.
  • 2011 06 25 - Biutiful (2010): Man gets cancer. That's the high point. Depressing yet dignified. Intense acting by Javier Bardem. Great look & sounds. A-
  • 2011 06 27 - The Roundup dinner for two at Fiorella's Jack Stack Barbecue in Kansas City. Sublime.
  • 2011 06 27 - Florida gives up winning run to S.Carolina in extra innings on *two* errors. Ouch. #CWS
  • 2011 06 28 - Nelson-Atkins Museum in KC is the best. We walk up on Tue. It's closed. We say we're in town only for the day so we get a private tour.
  • 2011 06 28 - Found Fazoli's in Des Moines. Food isn't special but love the concept. Wish they'd come back to DFW market.
  • 2011 06 29 - Iowa taxpayers are the best. Tour Capitol. Eat lunch in capitol cafeteria. For free. Pay stations are unstaffed.
  • 2011 06 29 - I've just spent two days crossing Iowa and did not see any presidential candidates. What are the chances?
  • 2011 06 30 - Thunder and lightning and torrential rain in Chicago. I saw a man on Michigan Ave. who had his eyeglasses blow off. Windy City, indeed.
