    W00t! Office Manager is setting up a brand new MacBook Pro for me. This is a good day.


    @creativemercury Heh, I wish. 🙂


    In terms of snacks, bananas are as bad for you as cookies! Thus spake Sydney Uni, of all things! 🙂 http://t.co/CG90ZKwm (cc @drkknits)


    @stufromoz @drkknits The infographic admits bananas have other benefits. But in terms of satiety, they’re equivalent!


    @witty_knitter @drkknits Rodd sent me the link. I told him I tweeted it and said, “Incoming tweet from M-H in 3… 2…. 1…” #troll 🙂


    @mudsurfer I didn’t actually eat one. But the Abercrombie Hotel had them. They had lots of stoner food.


    @redambition Say Hi to Dr. Chin for me! 🙂

    @zephyrama Thanks! It’s the Colette Parfait. Fabric is just some cheap poplin from Lincraft! I mostly meant this one for practice. 🙂


    @witty_knitter That’s ’cause I mostly cropped out my thick woollen socks. Very glamorous indeed. 🙂


    @zephyrama Their patterns have a reputation for being busty. I had to resize a bit under the arms, and cups still aren’t full. Close enough!


    @zephyrama Digital is coming soon, they said in last newsletter! I cut a 16 to fit waist but really needed a 14 in boobs.


    Whoa – kitchen delivery guys are here NOW! The early-ness is welcome but unexpected.


    The red kitchen is finally here! The delivery guys are bring in many, many pieces. They like the red. 🙂 http://t.co/tmNGbjb4


    @laimelde They said themselves that “everybody else just gets white.” 🙂

    Update from @the_snook: Tiles are nearly all down! http://t.co/tXAMdexg


    @dancingman That’s what @the_snook’s research indicated as well. Sounds like he’s leaning towards grey.


    @gizo Yep. http://t.co/kfS8bYPh Haven’t tried it though. Use ours to just make plain fizzy water, which I love.


    @crumpet @gizo Well, technically. I’ve heard dark rumours about people using it to carbonate milk, etc though… which doesn’t work well.


    @crumpet @gizo Huh, it’s just opposite the QVB. Sure, will poke my head in next time I’m there!


    @drkknits Nice! We had purple carrots last week. They will stain your fingers a little bit if you hold and peel them, I found. 🙂


    Even my new cheery gumboots are no match for waiting for the bus in cold rain at night after a 10 hour day. #sad


    We have a floor with grey grout. I do love it. http://t.co/sPVxaLCm http://t.co/EwmlD7de


    My skirt now has pockets with actual buttonholes! First time I ever used auto buttonhole foot on machine. Magic! http://t.co/ZvKDiaXP


    RT @the_snook: He likes it because it matches his tux http://t.co/JGRdMzqa // Kitty camouflage!


    I officially like Show Margaery way better than Book Margaery. May or may not have something to do w/ idea of Renly-Loras threesome. #genius


    @randomknits I had some difficulty due to thickness of pocket, so one is a little messy. Do you put nail polish on them? I read that once.


    @supercres Yeah, I already loved the Grandma! Glad now her granddaughter is less boring.


    Holy crap, fire at the Abercrombie last night?? No more deep-fried Golden Gaytimes for a while, it seems.


    Me: “Mob-related drive-bys and arson attacks? When did Sydney become Gotham City?” @the_snook: “Since they cleaned up Melbourne.”

    Forecast is for three days of epic rain, but me and my new gumboots don't care!

    The Lizzie Bennet Diaries – THIS IS BRILLIANT. Reimagining P&P as a series of video diaries from a modern Lizzie Bennett. Lydia is awesome.

    DIY cat barriers. And a fan bungee-corded to a chair. I am my father’s daughter. http://t.co/2DzUF6nM http://t.co/pi6tT2Gm


    @drkknits Hahaha… Do I have the context right? Are you considering dog names? AMY FARRAH FOWLER WOULD BE AWESOME.


    Got new headphones as my old ones (bequeathed by @chrisgander) were falling apart. These are “for DJs”. I fe http://t.co/ytjr5Uu0


    @RoseRed_Shoes @drkknits And I would film it and put it on YouTube and she’d see it and THEN WE’D GET TO MEET HER.


    @drkknits How about Sookie? 🙂


    @chrisgander I looked on eBay. It was pretty much either A) complete shit, or B) $250 Dr. Dre headphones. I went for the $25 Sony.


    I looked for a felt tip eyeliner pen yesterday and they were SIXTY DOLLARS. Is that expected? (ping @redambition, who knows these things)


    @redambition Cheers. I saw a YouTube tutorial for doing “flicky eyes” and they suggested the pen is better for beginners!


    Wondering if the cats have managed to get into the concrete… or if my jury-rigged fan has fallen over into it and ruined it. #anticipation


    @randomknits @redambition This one? http://t.co/kG6i0HbL Sweet! What colour? My eyelashes are brown. Does that preclude black liner?


    @imdominating Never underestimate the grossness of Theon. (Have you read the books? I shall say no more otherwise…)


    Hooray! Fan is still upright, and no visible cat footprints in cement.


    @redambition My Mom is coming out to visit end of July… She’s usually happy to play courier. 🙂


    @redambition You can always order and have em sent to her house early. Just have to wait a few weeks to get em though!


    @imdominating I am of the opinion, just between us, that his peener got cut off. I felt sorry for him a little bit!


    @goldfishgeorge Ooh, thanks for the tip! Will check it out.


    Holy crap, knitters. Did you see FB? Bex and Jakk got MARRIED in New York!!


    @stufromoz I actually bought my first ever wellies on the weekend, and I am SO EXCITED to wear them today!


    Forecast is for three days of epic rain, but me and my new gumboots don’t care! http://t.co/i5RPIJrt


    Left @the_snook at home with builders. The floor is happening! Can’t wait to see it complete. http://t.co/doSGTpQE


    @redambition Got em at Target on the weekend. $24! But larger sizes pretty much sold out. 🙁


    @Justacogitating Unfortunately the Australian release isn’t til JULY. I am going to be spoiled; it’s inevitable. 🙁


    Second-guessing our decision for black grout. Tiler recommends grey instead; says black is hard to keep clean. Any thoughts?

    Running late for the damn Easter Show. Finally waiting for the train. Why are my weekends busier than my weekdays?


    This appears to also be the train to “SupaFest.” Kill me now.


    @miss_reecie We need to work on your posing. Needs more attitude!


    @knitness @miss_reecie I think she was actually there yesterday, unless she’s been living in that Rav agree shirt all weekend. 😛


    Floor tiler is here! I predict by the end of today, it’s going to look a lot more like a kitchen and less like a concrete cave.


    @witty_knitter @Kat13v @merrinmez webmaster@ email address will reach her. Susan’s not as 24/7 online as I am though.


    …And I was wrong. This is going to be a two-day affair, which means I need to figure out how to keep 2 cats out of cement for 24 hours.
