  • I choose you, Bulbasaur! – CROCHET

    I choose you, Bulbasaur! – CROCHET – I remain amused but uncontaminated by the spreading hexapuff madness. That said, I could totally see myself crocheting 1000-odd granny squares to make some silly 8-bit game character.

    On hold with @auspost waiting to see if anybody found my drivers license at Strawberry Hills. Crossing my fingers…


    Nope. Nothing. Really annoyed at @auspost worker who managed to lose it in 30 seconds. Going to cost me to replace. 🙁


    @Soma377 Eh. I’m kinda mostly over Dahl now. The site makes a tidy little income, but I don’t have the energy to devote to it/him anymore.


    Pub knitting time! I need a burger and a beer, like NOW.


    @indefensible That’s double my record. What the hell did you actually buy??


    Had a lovely nana nap on the couch to sleep off the midday beers. *yawn* That was nice.


    @GeorgieKnits Zucchini bread! Best ever. My recipe is here: http://t.co/stHMJ2ZM


    On our way to Marrickville to see @neilhimself’s show. A little culture to balance out all the beer and cricket of the last 3 days…


    It’s all geeks in Threadless t-shirts, as far as the eye can see. Just heard some girl squeal: “I got his AUTOGRAPH in my MOLESKINE!”


    RT @laimelde: Coaxed myself to Neil’s show… But have already run into one person I know, so, things might improve. // That was ME!


    It’s events like this that make me realise I’m kind of a self-hating geek.


    Ahhhh, so this is where all the Android users are. More than I’ve seen in the wild before. Must be a goth thing.


    @randomknits Wish you were here too! Some of these people are freakin’ me out.


    Waves at @laimelde from row M….


    RT @neilhimself: Fourplay doing their version of the Doctor Who theme always makes me happy and goose-flesh prickly at the same time.


    Seriously, that was like the string quarter equivalent of “Sabotage.” Fourplay rock HARD.


    @madradish I don’t know their stuff well enough to confirm! But it was pretty damn epic.


    @madradish Wait! According to @laimelde , that’s exactly what it was. 🙂


    Says @the_snook: “These events always make me want to go home and shave and cut my hair.”


    Neil Gaiman doing a reading with Fourplay backing him up. Pretty thrilling. http://t.co/uMsD1tKD


    Snook: “Asphincter says MEOWWWW?” Petey: “Meow!” @the_snook falls over laughing. “Exactly.”

    Just watched a string quarter cover Rage Against the Machine, and it ROCKED. Every time I watch a cellist, I wish I played it.

    Just found out my Mom had to put down the dog today. Lucy was very old and in a lot of pain. Such a good little dog. Going to hug my cat…


    Still shaking my head that someone on Channel 9 cricket production team chose Porno for Pyros to play during an ad transition.


    @quietdiscourse If I see that Bupa ad one more time, I’m going to choke my healthier self to death.


    My Norman Lindsay knitting series continues. Sam Sawnoff lives! http://t.co/zF5bCusX


    @supercres First one is good, but I liked each sequel less and less.


    @jezfletcher @sarahhazelton Hahaha… Keep her away from loose seals.


    Ventured into CBD to shop but was denied at every turn. How can Lincrap be all out of polyfill?


    Met up with Albie tho to get all the wool industry goss. Surprised to hear M&S are now official Oz distributors of Zauberball!


    Other big news: ACS closing down woollen mill. No more commercial wool production happening in Australia. Pretty sad.


    @randomknits @knitterjp It was the first I’d heard. Apparently like 40 ppl being laid off. It’ll devastate Wangaratta, he said. 🙁


    SIDDLE. YOU ARE KILLING ME.


    RT @randomknits: @web_goddess @knitterjp 49 jobs, apparently 🙁 http://t.co/AI65roWn


    Yowza! Tendulkar is out. What a champion. I’m barracking for Australia, but I would have liked to see him get the 100th century.


    So I went temporarily insane today & bought my first ever maxi dresses. Basically giant tank tops. http://t.co/U4X9Y4pQ http://t.co/LvOZ6ky4


    @AusVintageGrrl What I hear is that they don’t spin anything here. It’s all imported in cones these days.


    @randomknits @gilmae Friday’s fine for me! I’ll be around. I can easily run into the city…


    @kcarruthers Yet judging by the article, they don’t appear to help with the problem of grocers’ apostrophes…

    Just turned on the cricket. 2 for 52?! I bet @kunaal84 is enjoying this in the Members’ Stand…


    RT @indefensible: Australia only knows how to play cricket in drought conditions.


    @randomknits What sort of mixer? Good deal?


    @kunaal84 My boyfriend is bowling, and he appears to have cut his hair. When did that happen?!


    @kunaal84 Eek! Close-up. He looks like a werewolf. Not happy. I’m breaking up with him.


    @stkilda Well, I prefer it when Australia isn’t royally SUCKING. 🙂


    @kunaal84 Did you paint your face? I just saw some Indians with painted faces on telly.


    Ooh. Hussey just got robbed!


    Clearly, @kunaal84 has made some sort of pact with Satan. If Sachin gets a century, we’ll have confirmation.


    I am my father’s daughter. Just used gaffer tape to jerry-rig my air conditioner exhaust to fit our bedroom window. Bliss…


    @SupFarn I suck at crochet. 🙁

    First “long slow run” of marathon training! 2:30/:45 intervals. Humid.
