The Wedding Blog – Amanda Palmer has finally posted the story of her wedding to Neil Gaiman, and it actually made me tear up a little. I identify with a lot of her reasons for initially not wanting to get married, and then for changing her mind. And I really identify with the idea of having a small, unplanned, FUN wedding. Theirs sounded lovely.

It was such a good party… but this hangover is EVIL. Self, just because you *can* play Flip Cup, doesn’t mean you *should*.
@wen1965 Ask @mrs_sockvictim. She knitted her wedding dress out of it. IIRC, it grew a LOT.
@mrs_sockvictim I had planned for a run, but bugger than. I’ll do it tomorrow. 🙂
This is about the time I started drinking last night. Shouldn’t there be some sort of time limit on hangovers?
Jamie’s Cauliflower Mac&Cheese. ZOMG. Hangover cure!! This is what my belly wanted ALL DAY. http://t.co/0B86lOJb
@jonbergan It’ll go up on my blog shortly. I’ve got a slight backlog; need to catch up. 🙂
And now dessert: Stewed Fruit and Ice Cream. Ahhhhh… http://t.co/G7Gowri0
@eileenDCoE Welcome back!!
Huh. Snook just noticed I have a massive bruise on the back of my arm. Unexplained Drinking Injury, I suspect. Least I know why it hurt now.
@imdominating Dolly showed a preview at her concert and then did a (painful) RAP about Queen Latifah and her boobs. *shudder*
@witty_knitter Heh. Just google “Flickr mosaic”, silly M-H! 🙂

2011 Knitting Round-Up
As you can see, my main output this year was socks. I don’t think there were very many of us who worked all the way through the Super Special Six Pattern Sock Club. But you know me – my favourite thing is to set a long term goal and then plod along doggedly after it. I think I’ll slow down on socks though and perhaps aim to make myself some real garments this year. I think the Snook might need another cardigan as well…
1. Boyfriend Socks, 2. Nanners Socks, 3. Fox Faces Socks, 4. Leyburn Socks, 5. Purple Ripple Afghan, 6. Nutkin Socks, 7. DailyMile Mitts, 8. Snook’s Hipster Cardy, 9. Eyelet Yoke Cardigan, 10. February Lady Sweater (Dyed), 11. Shur’tugal Socks

RT @imdominating: Awwwww yeeeeeeeah! It’s that time of year again! http://t.co/FvoeQvX7
@AusVintageGrrl The alcohol free part is annoying. I’m going to house party in Blue Point and can’t bring booze or the cops will confiscate.
@zephyrama @AusVintageGrrl @twelveeyes Our host SMSed to say the cops were pouring out any bottles of booze they found as ppl entered area.
@AusVintageGrrl @zephyrama I guess it’d be a loophole and everyone would say its for a private party. All of Blues Point, apparently.
New frock for NYE. Red shoes, red lips… http://t.co/AkoLZ0Ek #pose
Partying up! (@ Blues Point Reserve w/ 5 others) http://t.co/8NEv6f5S
New Year’s Eve in Sydney. Try not to be jealous. http://t.co/pASMlRt5
Blues Point is HEAVING! 9pm fireworks about to start… http://t.co/pEK9ZFmJ
RT @the_snook: Drinking champagne, eating ham and watching my lady dancing to Billy Idol. I can deal with this.
I jumped on a giant bean bag. http://t.co/4XBcroJB
Mr Snook and the 9pm fireworks. http://t.co/DOOJwIjw
RT @sydneyfireworks: Weird teaser #fireworks 22:15 – or was that an accidental release?
So, I’m teaching a bunch of international types Flip Cup. And I still got it. #WeaselForever http://t.co/In6UCTWa
It’s @the_snook, working’ it. http://t.co/8o06f745
I can’t believe it’s time already. I’m so drunk and dancey.
Stuck in a non-moving crowd at North Syd. Rapidly sobering up.
We are finally on the effing train to Central, no thanks to the thousands of lunatics at North Sydney.
Happy New Year!! http://t.co/x6Nmn2HP
Home. Bed. Wiped out. Thanks to @lemon_lime and @j_griego for an awesome party…

RunningBlog: Week 52
Another year has come and gone! As you’ll recall, last year I pulled out all the stops to hit my goal of 1000km. This year I was aiming for 1100km, and for the first half of the year I was on track to surpass that by far. Unfortunately the second half of the year was a different story. I suffered a couple injuries (rolling my left ankle repeatedly) and then I got sidelined by a virus and cough for several weeks. It sucks that I didn’t quite get to 1100, but I’m pretty proud regardless. The final numbers:
Dec. 26: 8.86km
Dec. 28: 6.86km
Dec. 30: 8.02km (cycling)
Dec. 31: 5.16km
Total this week: 20.88km (13.05mi)
Total in 2011: 1043.77km (652mi) – 4% increase from 2010Goals for 2012: I’m now training in earnest for the July 1 Gold Coast Marathon. I’d love to be able to finish it in 5:30. I’d also like to run the Blackmore’s Half-Marathon next September and finish it in under 2:30. I’d like to start my podcast up again. (Anybody want to contribute or co-host?) And I’d like to comment more on DailyMile and Fitocracy to thank everyone who’s given me such encouragement this year.
