    I wonder if you can find ukulele tabs for Taylor Swift songs. (I’m never gonna get to 1000 followers like this, am I?)


    @chrisgander Got my niece Computer Engineer Barbie last year. Looks like this year it’ll be President Barbie! (I am the PROGRESSIVE AUNTIE.)


    @chrisgander They have Architect Barbie, I believe. But man, Plumber or Electrician Barbie would rule too!


    @knitdra Hahaha. I thought it was going to say Hermione at first!

    Heh. @drkknits just publicly named @knitterjp’s baby in the Knitters Guild minutes. THERE’S NO BACKING OUT NOW. 😛


    @knitterjp @drkknits Oh, me you and little LINUS SEVEN know it!


    @drkknits @knitterjp Jack is so ridiculously overused right now. What is this, 1997? I guarantee there will be like 5 Jacks in his kindy.


    @knitterjp @drkknits Unfortunately we agreed that boy children would be Snooks, and “Seven Snook” sounds ridiculous. Hence I bequeath you 7!


    @drkknits @knitterjp Jack Clark? What is he, a comic book character? Also sounds like chicken clucking,& you know how I feel about chickens.


    @drkknits @knitterjp No, I just like naming things. I have lots of cat names that I will never use too. 😛


    @knitterjp @drkknits @the_snook No, the Seven is just from Seinfeld. The older I get, the more I identify with George Costanza.

    Broke out the Cheesylove vest today. One of first garments I knitted! http://t.co/IJtByPCe


    @Ezzles I feel your pain. I loved being red, but not the maintenance and red pillowcases and red hats. 🙁


    @imdominating @Lackadazy Take pics, the pair of you! I am still getting conversational mileage here from last year’s Khal Drogo!


    @aaronistic @brandnetworks Ah, but something tells me I probably wouldn’t get waffle-y goodness if I telecommuted from Sydney. 🙁


    @jasony Ooh, thanks for the tip! Will install this today.


    @Opheli8 Oddly, I liked Tara a lot more in past 1-2 eps than I ever have. She just needs to stop whinging and take up with fangbanger Hoyt.

    #35 on RS’s list of “Women Who Rock.” I could listen to Ronnie Spector’s voice all day long.


    #34 on RS’s list of “Women Who Rock.” I knew the hits, of course, but I hadn’t ever listened to the whole album. It’s great! I really like “How Much More.”

    @sewweekly I’ve got a potential “Make this Look” for you! I MUST make Kiki’s dress for summer… http://t.co/5pv4CM4r Any suggestions?


    @witty_knitter Not all athletes are lucky enough to have body shape/appearance that gets sponsorships. http://t.co/uCASASMg


    @witty_knitter It’s a lovely ideal, but if you stick with that, the only Olympic athletes will be the independently wealthy.


    @witty_knitter Unless you’re saying the government should pay them a living wage?


    @witty_knitter So the guy in the article is lying? Says non-medalists will be left out-of-pocket.


    @arwenamin @witty_knitter TBH I feel less sympathy for swimmers than I do for those athletes in less popular sports.


    @witty_knitter Yeah, but students gotta eat too! If students/athletes don’t earn a living wage, then only the wealthy have that opportunity.


    @AusVintageGrrl Really? I want to slap mothers all the time. 😛


    @AusVintageGrrl Granted, I want to slap most people most of the time. #misanthropy

    #38 on RS’s list of “Women Who Rock.” I don’t think I’d ever listened to this album straight through before. It’s fantastic, and really great for getting stuff done at work. I think my favourite song is “Hyperballad.” The only problem with Bjork is that I will forever identify her voice with Moomins. (Actually, that’s not really a problem.)


    #37 on the RS’s list of “Women Who Rock.” Some of these songs sounded a little too sexy for work listening, you know? But man, I need to add “Run the World (Girls)” to my running playlist. Beyonce can BRING IT.


    #36 on RS’s list of “Women Who Rock”. I’d never heard of this band before! More early London proto-punk, this time with a chick singer and saxophone. It’s all pretty catchy and fun, though I can only understand like half of what Poly Styrene says. “Oh Bondage, Up Yours!” made me laugh.

    The question is: How many paint chips could I conceivably steal from Bunnings?

    WHY do I bring roast chicken to work for my lunch? I feel like a disgusting Morlock picking over a carcass at my desk.

    @blakkat So I hear you’re back in the neighbourhood for a while! We should meet up sometime. I’m up next to the Harbourview. 🙂


    It turns out there *is* a limit to how much banana pudding a person can eat in 24 hours.


    Wow. @amandapalmer’s new video is amazing. Too bad it’s too cold to sleep in the buff in Sydney right now… http://t.co/1VXaNl8m


    A judge said the Galaxy Tab was too uncool to be confused with the iPad. I’ll admit I laughed and laughed. Talk about a Pyrrhic victory.

    #39 on RS’s list of “Women Who Rock.” I was vaguely familar with Apple’s first album, but I hadn’t followed any of her later ones. This was not what I expected! I really like it. It’s a really difficult album to listen to at work though. Too wordy, I guess.
