    @RoseRed_Shoes @drkknits @knitdra @mrs_sockvictim Now you guys are making me want to go. But really, I don’t need more wool!


    SONOFA. Just realised it’s *two* weeks til the benchtop arrives. Two more weeks of not having a proper kitchen. FFFFFFUUUUUUUUU.


    @Opheli8 Stainless steel. They have to weld it together so it fits perfectly.


    @drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes Nah, we can’t use the cooktop/oven or even put things in cupboards til it goes on. Bugger.

    Just Ask Christopher: The Towering Inferno – An Appreciation – Excellent post by Christopher about my own personal favourite disaster movie. My Dad introduced me to it. Christopher didn’t even mention my favourite thing about it: it has both OJ Simpson and Bobby Brady in bit parts!

    Kitchen install done for the day. Check out the money shot! http://t.co/hBmJImpN


    @that_alison Oh, that’s not staying. The splashback is “smoky mirror”, and everything about that will just be painted white.


    @jasony Unfortunately it’s a time of mega work stress, so that’s detracting. But they’ve been pretty flexible, so I can’t complain!


    @jezfletcher @sarahhazelton Bring It On is the poo. Take a big whiff. LOVE IT.


    @imdominating Meh. Cairns is way far away. My biggest fear in Sydney is getting a bad latte. 🙂


    Cutting out booze has boosted my #paleo efforts. I’m down 3.3kg in 21 days. Not bad – and that’s with NO exercise too! (cc @drkknits)

    Ride home in the dark by myself! BOOYAH!

    Retro Kitchen Decor – 1950s Kitchens – House Beautiful – Interesting. We thought our stainless steel countertops would modernise our retro kitchen, but it looks like they’re actually authentic to the period! Pastiche it is… 🙂

    @jasony Stainless steel! They measure it up on Monday, and then it takes a week since they have to custom build/weld it to fit.


    Why am I the only person who EVER reads the documentation?


    RT @drkknits: @web_goddess cough *hermione* cough // I suspect that’s it, frankly.


    @quietdiscourse The sad thing is I’m not even talking about my docs, but instead a fairly detailed brief provided by the client!


    @henrytapia When you say it like that, it’s obviously less of a superpower and more of a curse.


    Call from builder. He’s ready to start install NOW, a day early! What universe is this?! Rushing home…


    @drkknits @knitdra Pbbbbbbbbbbbbbbt.


    It’s happening!! http://t.co/M4QOS5Db


    I’ve been putting more kitchen pics into an album on Facebook, by the way. So check there if you’re curious! I’ll blog them when it’s done.


    @mrs_sockvictim @drkknits @knitdra I am never, ever gonna live that down, am I?


    @that_alison @knitterjp @dancingman Thanks! I’m really happy that it’s living up to the picture in my head. BUT SO MUCH CLEANING NEEDED.


    Macbook backlight has died… one month after AppleCare expired. Sonofabitch.


    @henrytapia Yeah. Genius Bar only has appointments a week out from now. Will check in the morning and cross fingers for a walk-in.


    @myindodotcom Awww, thanks. Be warned – they stop dead after ep 10! Life got in the way. 🙂


    Installed the new Appstore Tweetdeck to my work machine, and I HATE IT. More clicks to ban spammers, can’t read conversations, stupid UI.


    @henrytapia I used to use the standalone version before Twitter bought them. The new version you have to get from the Appstore. It’s blue.


    @henrytapia Never used web or Chrome app. But on old one, you click “in reply to” and see the whole conversation. Can’t seem to do that now.

    Okay, I swear that’s the last kitchen photo for today. It’s just that putting it together is a lot more interesting than taking it apart!


    Easy ride to work! Knee is getting better. .
