    @Bevfam @Jimbo_W Thanks for the RTs – and the listens! I’m just annoyed it’s not up in iTunes yet. Grrr.

    Ah! The latest GGR episode isn’t listed in iTunes yet, but it’s there if you subscribe. Guess it just takes a while for main page to update.

    @Bevfam Weird. I don’t see the review! Wonder if it caches them in various locations or something.

    @Bevfam Ahhh, reviews are listed *per country*. I need to figure out how to see reviews in other countries!

    I feel like I want some big giant headphones at work so I can feel even more isolated over here in my corner. 🙂

    @redambition The Mother’s Day Race? Yay! It’s a really fun event. I’ll be doing it too!

    Sarah McLachlan followed by the Spin Doctors? Evidently my iPod is having some mid-90’s nostalgia today. I feel like I’m back in college.

    Still feeling run down. Yawning and in bed by 9.30 tonight.

    RT @coachprs: I feel this is important enough info to put out there again. Forefoot v Heel Strike Hmmm? http://bit.ly/b6Cijy

    I dropped a package in the mail for you guys on the weekend. It’s a hoodie jacket I knitted for Mason. I hope it fits! Let me know when you get it…

  • Arts Preview

    Started my Monday with a marathon 3-hour meeting that systematically destroyed a 20+ page spec. FML.

    Best follow-up to 3hr meeting is realizing you’re sick and having to rush home to take antibiotics ASAP. This sucks and I feel like crap.

    Just completed a 5.47 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/aCUvOw #RunKeeper

  • Tough Guy contest

    Holy crap. This Tough Guy contest in England makes the Tough Bloke Challenge we did look like a stroll in the park. Eight miles of obstacles including barbed wire, fire, mud, and chunks of ice? That’s awesome. (Link courtesy of the Snook.)

  • Guerilla Knitting

    Ready to laugh? I got an email this morning inviting me to be in a documentary about “guerilla knitting.” The filmmaker needs somebody to represent the “against” side, of course. Not wanting to open that particular can of worms again, I declined. I am particularly proud of the conclusion of my reply though: “I have more important things to do with my time than give them the sweet tingles of condemnation that they secretly crave.” Good luck, kid.

    Met up with a bunch of folks for impromptu kite festival at Sydney Park. http://twitpic.com/10n8aw http://twitpic.com/10n8ds

    @Bevfam Thanks! Saw your tweets about cheering on the Irish. I’m a Domer myself, class of ’99. 🙂

    Just completed a 7.61 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/cimzzb #RunKeeper

    In case you, like me, were wondering about the frenetic pace and odd editing of The Biggest Loser, this is why: http://bit.ly/dfOPkJ.

    Celeb spotting! Ran past Ryan Shelton on Enmore Rd. Couldn’t remember his name; had to browse thru 100 Spicks & Specks ep descs to find him.

    @knitabulous Nope, completely cut out. No group shots at weigh in. I bet they’ll rush thru 1st two weeks in a couple eps & then slow down.

    @sharre A friend referred to her unemployment as The Summer of George. Make the most of it!
