Dear @kunaal84: This is for you. https://t.co/DfO4t8JV (cc @the_snook, who it is also for.)
Celebrant should’ve put “Talking your freaked out wife off metaphorical ledges” into the wedding vows, given how often @the_snook does it.
@mrs_sockvictim @drkknits @knitdra I’m walking to Surry Hills now!
Moda Bake Shop: Charming Window Pillows – I always wondered how these quilt blocks were done. Brilliant! Uses a lot of fabric though. I love that you basically make and sew together a heap of cootie catchers to start.
@thisismywww Yes. We rode down them last night. 😀
@thisismywww I know. I’ve read the literature! But George Street is ridiculous; too many cars and too many pedestrians. That’s what I mean.
@thisismywww I wasn’t actually asking for answers to a problem! Just ranting. I’ve done a lot of reading on this lately, trust me. 🙂
@kcarruthers Lard makes the best pie crusts.
@kcarruthers From the grocery store. You can, in fact, buy it at Coles here. @the_snook uses it in his Hungarian Goulash. It’s still around!
@chrisgander Hunger Games?
@chrisgander You’ll devour the HG trilogy, I predict. I’m looking forward to the movie!
Any Business Analysts looking for a role in Sydney? Why not apply for mine! Seriously, they need somebody good. 🙂 http://t.co/PfCOjJxF
@brown_note Sydney BA role going if you want to alert your followers: http://t.co/PfCOjJxF. (It’s the role I’m leaving!)
@brown_note Cheers! I think they’ve got a couple CVs already. 🙂
@stufromoz I do!! Even own two albums. “Troubled Times” is one of my favourite songs ever. Think I’ll listen to it now…
@stufromoz Oh, damn. Just realised you were using a nickname, not the band. Carry on.
@blakkat What do you think you need it for? My predominate uses: A) cooking from recipes, B) knitting patterns, C) e-reader.
@blakkat But to be honest, I don’t use it as much as I thought I would. Nobody *needs* one, but it’s great for certain things.
@brockleyboyo Neat! I didn’t know you were working on the Games. What are you doing?
@drkknits My ovaries just kicked me in the metaphoric shins. Thanks.
Hot Guys in Period Costume: http://t.co/ij5xge4e. Suspect many of the knitters will be ALL OVER THIS.
Huh. I didn’t support Renly much in the books, but I can get onboard this train. http://t.co/FOxf3TXt (Suddenly Brienne makes more sense.)
@Kat13v I was referring more to the Renly obsession. 🙂
@drkknits I was waiting for you to chime in. 🙂
Dear Pants – This is for you. Also, how did I not know Dan Stevens was in an adaptation of Sense & Sensibility? Good lord. Must get ahold of that. 🙂 http://vintagedudes.tumblr.com/
7 Trends in Business Analysis and Project Management to Watch for in 2012 – I especially like #1: “Divergence of the PM and BA Role.” This is a big one for me. I don’t want to be a PM, but my whole career people keep trying to get me to be one. They are very different roles, and it doesn’t make a lot of sense to have the same person filling both on a project. (The good news is that my new job will be strictly BA.)
Indiana, Enjoy Your Final Two Years Of “Tax-Free” Amazon Purchases – Well, crap. I’ve looked at the Amazon help pages, and it looks like this is going to be added to all orders being shipped to Indiana. So even though I don’t live there, I’ll be paying tax to send gifts to my family. BOOOOO!
Super simple travel mug – But a canning jar offers next to no insulation for your hands. So it’s not a travel mug, is it? Let’s be honest: IT’S A SIPPY CUP.
FBI: Missing teacher search draws tips, no answers | ajc.com – I know some people are weirded out by the fact that I upload my location to the Internet while I’m running, but things like this are why. I’m willing to trade a little privacy for the safety of knowing that the Snook can always find me if I get into trouble.
Magic of Roald Dahl Celebrated on UK Stamps – I got a quote and mention at the bottom of this article!
Yesterday I survived my first ever rides to and from work on Tiffany. I spent some time working out a route that would avoid major roads and traffic. In the morning, I ended up cutting through Redfern to get to the Bourke Street Cycleway. Man, that thing is NICE! Separated bike lane all the way to work. Then in the evening, I cut across the CBD to meet up with the Snook and ride home via Darling Harbour. The worst part was the three blocks on Park Street between Elizabeth and George. I ended up getting off and just walking through that bit. (Too many pedestrians; too much traffic.) Both routes ended up being about 5K, so I did 10K total for the day. And I did a Spudds class too at lunch! FIT KRIS IS FIT.
