- If anything goes wrong, the Summit was all Mariano Browne’s idea. #
- The upside to Michelle Obama’s not coming is that maybe Hazel will start wearing garments with sleeves again http://twurl.nl/5ziivt #
- @MarkJHFranco Hazel and I were trying to get a dog in time for Obama’s arrival, but all they had was a bunch of scruffy pothounds. in reply to MarkJHFranco #
- @tillahwillah Mouaahahahahahahah! in reply to tillahwillah #
- Wonder what cool gifts the 33 heads are going to bring for me…. #
- @MarkJHFranco Not those, and not the ones mentioned in the following link either http://tinyurl.com/csmud4 in reply to MarkJHFranco #
- Can’t believe I found the time among all the Summit bacchanal to write a blog post! http://twurl.nl/2b2bus #
- OMG – Obama is here. Feeling all queasy inside. #
- To all you other world leaders out there: any of you peed your pants just before meeting Obama for the first time? This is normal, right? #
- Managed to change into dry pair of trousers in time to meet Obama. But no guarantees I won’t pee again–I’m a bundle of nerves #fifthsummit #
- Just in case you’re wondering, the late start to the opening ceremony is Mariano Browne’s fault, not mine. #fifthsummit #
- Yes, I’m tweeting while walking the red carpet. Top that, Obama! #fifthsummit #
- What is the protocol with regard to tweeting during the national anthem? #fifthsummit #
- Anybody understand what Cristina Fernández de Kirchner is saying? Has she mentioned me yet? #fifthsummit #
- @tillahwillah Just sent out security bulletin ordering mandatory strip search of all janitorial staff @ Hilton, esp ones with dreadlocks! in reply to tillahwillah #
- @triniwebdiva She could have done w/ a few of those, actually. Not sure I liked that speech. #fifthsummit in reply to triniwebdiva #
- @carolineneisha Bobol, what bobol? in reply to carolineneisha #
- Did Ortega just say “Somozas” or “samosas”? What time is dinner, by the way? #fifthsummit #
- Need to check dress code for tonight’s dinner. Not sure Ortega’s Members Only jacket is going to cut it. #fifthsummit #
- These pañols are like ppl you invite only to make up numbers who then take over the party & piss off the real guests. Sigh. #fifthsummit #
- Thinking of pretending to have a heart attack and disrupt the ceremony so Ortega will stop speaking. Bad idea? #fifthsummit #
- @basantam Impostors? On Twitter? No way. in reply to basantam #
- Now remembering that dinner menu includes soufflé and baked Alaska. Yikes. #fifthsummit #
- @Didara It’s a dasheen soufflé. in reply to Didara #
- @SanMan_ish Hey, what about me? I bet none of those others is tweeting secretly with one hand & his Blackberry in his pocket. #fifthsummit in reply to SanMan_ish #
- Wow–finally some English. #fifthsummit #
- Wow, is Barrow boring or what? Tell me I don’t sound like that. #fifthsummit #
- “The pencil of god has no eraser.” Does that sound obscene to anyone else, or is it just me? #fifthsummit #sota09 #
- I was planning to use the word “prelapsarian” in my own speech. How dare Barrow steal it. #fifthsummit #
- Just received word that the soufflé has collapsed and will be replaced by Jell-O. ¡Gracias, Daniel Ortega! #fifthsummit #
- @mediaimran You think? I’ve been wondering about that…. in reply to mediaimran #
- @theroyaltyclub I heard that. in reply to theroyaltyclub #
- Obama fans, I’ll have you know that his ears are even bigger in real life. This is one case where the camera *deducts* 10 lbs. #fifthsummit #
- Me up now. Watch me tweet during my speech! #fifthsummit #
- Jeez – what’s wrong with my voice??? #fifthsummit #sota09 #
- God, I’m even boring myself. And I said “my dear friends”again! D’oh! #fifthsummit #
- Jeez, I promised myself I wasn’t going to use the old “corn soup” trope again. Wonder if I have Tourette’s? #fifthsummit #sota09 #
- Hazel said she would take a swig from her hip flask every time I said “my dear friends”. She’s probably sozzled by now. #fifthsummit #
- @macmark @triniwebdiva Even I agree it isn’t funny. I think I may be developing Tourette’s or autism in reply to macmark #
- Oops, I almost revealed the existence of the stash of weapons of mass destruction out in Chaguaramas! #fifthsummit #sota09 #
- Hazel said she would take a swig from her hip flask every time I said “my dear friends”. Definite hangover tomorrow. #fifthsummit #
- @Trinigourmet Hazel’s already started it, I’m afraid.
#fifthsummit in reply to Trinigourmet # - @blahblohblog I was fiddling with my Blackberry. How do you think I managed to tweet all through the ceremony? in reply to blahblohblog #
- Is it spelled “papesy” or “papesee”? Looking for a word to describe the music accompanying the cultural presentation. #fifthsummit #
- Did u know there r only 7 different dance moves possible in a Trinidadian dance performance? It’s true—a choreographer told me. #fifthsummit #
- @macmark That is actually a “t” right? Phew! in reply to macmark #
- @theroyaltyclub How else am I going to stay awake during this painful presentation? I’m human, you know. in reply to theroyaltyclub #
- @macmark Oh, I thought that was “I want jam”. What time is dinner, by the way? #fifthsummit in reply to macmark #
- Blue Man Group works in the T&T energy sector? Since when? #fifthsummit #sota09 #
- Strange, but several heads of state suddenly squirming at the lyrics “I going to tell mih mama doh sen’ mih dong dey”. #fifthsummit #sota09 #
- The parang number was actually Daniel Ortega’s speech set to music. #fifthsummit #sota09 #
- Can’t wait for the dance sequence commemorating July 27, 1990. Wonder who they got for the Abu Bakr role? #fifthsummit #sota09 #
- @macmark Speaking of “seared”, when is dinner? in reply to macmark #
- I guess it’s too late to turn back now, eh? And by the way, all the mistakes were Mariano Browne’s fault. Good night. #fifthsummit #sota09 #
- Can barely look Barack in the face this morning, after the dream I had about him last night. #fifthsummit #sota09 #
- @gwto Uncomfortable?? You try removing damp sheets from a bed without waking the woman sleeping next to you. in reply to gwto #
- Press liaison Felipe Noguera, we’ve got the point: you speak Spanish. So please stop saying “Koo-ba” now. #fifthsummit #sota09 #
- The nerve of a Jamaican journo asking if Obama felt in danger in Trinidad! #fifthsummit #sota09 #
- @tandmark I heard Noguera speak Chinese to that Japanese journalist (seriously). Rather embarrassing. #fifthsummit #sota09 in reply to tandmark #
- @theroyaltyclub Her? It sounded like a man to me. Unless you know something I don’t. Do you? in reply to theroyaltyclub #
- @gwto Sorry! That one was meant for http://secrettweet.com/, as was the previous. Yikes. in reply to gwto #
- I’m hoping there’s pone for dessert today. I wonder if Obama likes pone? #fifthsummit #sota09 #
- Caught glimpse of grp photo on photog’s laptop. I look like I powdered my face with an accra! We’re taking that 1 again #fifthsummit #sota09 #
- Spoke to catering—pone not on lunch menu. Though this reduces chances of me bepping during this afternoon’s session #fifthsummit #sota09 #
- @triniwebdiva I find it rather insensitive of you to suggest shark soup to a man who’s just been on a hunger strike #fifthsummit #sota09 in reply to triniwebdiva #
- @josanneleonard I believe the gentleman’s name is Larry *Summers*. (Better for search if you spell it right). Back to lunch #fifthsummit in reply to josanneleonard #
- @triniwebdiva So *that’s* why Ramesh wanted that interview. Sigh. #fifthsummit #sota09 in reply to triniwebdiva #
- Have put an old plastic shower curtain beneath the sheets tonight in case I dream about Obama again. #fifthsummit #sota09 #
- Playing the Twitter speed-typing game at http://fast140.com – How fast can you type? #
