The Twitterati were not finding sobriety.

Given the celebratory tone of her prior tweet, we're guessing writer Louise Bolton meant "pissed" in the traditional British sense. At least she made the last train! Otherwise she might have gotten additionally pissed.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Atlantic, the Chicago Tribune's Michael Hawthorne was just getting his own winter celebration started.

Oh look: almost all of the most annoying rich young people are concentrated in one city! It's finally to safe to go to all those restaurants and clubs you probably don't go to anyway. Ain't winter grand?

PBS' Mark Glaser misses the days where you only had to worry about running into drunken beggar journalists in the streets. It seems like that was only several weeks ago, doesn't it?

Amid all the Friday drunkenness, VentureBeat's Dean Takahashi reminded everyone to get their heads sober and straight before going on camera. Looking at you, CNBC.

<![CDATA[Kirstie Alley Conned with Technology for Second Time]]> Jessica Simpson loved her probably-eaten dog like a child; Kirstie Alley is spending money buying imaginary things and Wolf Blitzer posted a celebrity photo to his new Twitter account. The Twitterati let their emotions guide them.


Singer Jessica Simpson's missing dog might as well be her actual human baby, the baby she inadvertently fed to coyotes.


Kirstie Alley, the actress and Scientologist, has been hoodwinked into spending exorbitant amounts of money to achieve arbitrary nonsensical goals inside a made-up world created expressly for the purpose of separating people from their money. Go figure.


Mark Glaser, PBS' media critic, didn't know the power of his own tweets.


Diablo Cody craved a long-delayed three way with Ben & Jerry.


CNN's Situation Room has finally been hooked up to Twitter, as Wolf Blitzer joins the microblogging service. Finally, someone has brought a rapid, disjointed discussion of the news cycle to Twitter.

<![CDATA['Do You Know Who I Am??' Ask The Twitterati]]> Sarah Lacy was severely inconvenienced by a visa snafu; Mark Glaser was dissed by a conference and a writer danced on Oasis' grave. The Twitterati were feeling huffy.


TechCrunch's Sarah Lacy is having a huge geopolitical passport issue and WTF, NATION OF BRAZIL? YOU MESSED WITH THE SARAHCUDA ONE TOO MANY TIMES and seriously she's been learning Portuguese and you just WAIT until she gets to the swears.


And also? People who run mind-numbing conferences about the future of media and whether newspapers are dying or maybe they're just turning into blogs or maybe we should just let cyborgs write everything? MARK GLASER'S INVITATION GOT LOST IN THE MAIL. AGAIN. He writes for PBS and dies for these endlessly boring things and besides can you really even call it a media conference if he's not there?


John Aboud just pitched a movie, and doesn't even know it. Someone option this thing.


Oh, so here's something positive that came out of the Great Health Care Panic of '09: Otherwise non-foodie conservative pundits like Amanda Carpenter are finally eating non-poisoned vegetables and non-tortured cows! At Whole Foods! Probably because Whole Foods opposes Obama's health care plan! Delicious!


TechCrunch's Milo Yiannopoulos was made sick by the breakup of Oasis. Or at least made plans to be made sick.

<![CDATA[One-Armed Hot Girl Baffles Twitterati]]> Ed Henry is still bitter about a college rejection letter; Jack Shafer might be an actual robot and Susan Orlean's laptop is l33t. The Twitterati revealed unexpected things about themselves.


Slate's Jack Shafer now has people wondering whether he is, literally, humorless. It's either that or he's a bad joke-teller.


If crazy New Yorker cat lady Susan Orlean has an actual RAID array on her laptop, we're turning in our geek cards immediately.


This is why you should never agree to let the writer Touré ask you a hypothetical question.


CNN's Ed Henry can't get anywhere near Notre Dame without mentioning, preferably to a national audience, how the university rejected him once, long ago.


CNET"s Natali Del Conte kinda liked being coerced into going to spin class.

<![CDATA[White People Mouth Off to Black Cops Like This]]> Angry and unbeaten white suspects made a Vanity Fair editor angry; Facebook friendings sparked an ego-tweet; and self deprecation was deprecated. The Twitterati were eagerly reading between the lines.



Vanity Fair's Michael Hogan thought for sure he was going to get to watch some police brutality, all live like, but the mouthy driver Hogan was watching got off without so much as a black eye. This was intended to illustrate white privilege in action, part 946.





Macworld's Jason Snell refreshed his ego on Facebook.





Mark Glaser didn't like to think of Mark Glaser as a brand, according to Mark Glaser, but Mark Glaser got over it. For example, the PBS writer sometimes refers to others as "some people" rather than with a name or link that might dilute the brand of Mark Glaser. Not that we're saying Mark Glaser planned it that way, or anything.





Yahoo video journalist Sarah Lacy indirectly let her publisher know she's at least trying.





New York's Jessica Coen is coming for you, self deprecators.

<![CDATA[Lance Amrstrong Denied Chance to Slam Greg LeMond, Or Story Saying He Slams Greg LeMond]]> Lance Armstrong uncensored his Wall Street Journal letter saying everyone hates Greg LeMond, except Lance Armstrong; Daily Show people had a vicious fight about chairs and the Economist got snarked on. The Twitterati got it out of their systems.


Daring Fireball's John Gruber felt the swearing went without saying.


The Wall Street Journal gave interview-hating Lance Armstrong something to disintermediate, all right.


Miles Kahn of the Daily Show exposed a deep schism within the Church of Jon Stewart.


Casting aside any worries about access, Technologizer's Harry McCracken said Apple's acting CEO marketing VP is boring with boring sauce. (UPDATE: Corrected Schiller's title. What were we thinking?)


PBS' Mark Glaser was so over the Economist.

<![CDATA[Kindle Thief Tortures Owner with Crappy Book Buys]]> The Twitterati ended the week punchy: Kevin Rose was plundering sofware; Anil Dash gleefully promoted the term "Facesquatting" and Mark Glaser lost his Kindle to a teenaged girl.


PBS' Mark Glaser watched helplessly as a thief ruined his Amazon recommendations for the next 18 months.


Digg's Kevin Rose tried to bait Steve Jobs into a swordfight.


Six Apart blogging pimp Anil Dash opened up a second, linguistic line of attack against the mainstream media.


Revision 3's Patrick Norton was officially called a frightening gadget freak by the Feds.


Celebrity gossip Bonnie Fuller gleefully took credit for one of the most obvious casting decisions in reality-TV history.
