Neighbours have been partying for 24 hours straight. Torn between hating them for the noise and totally envying their awesomeness.

Infinite Summer
Infinite Summer
I picked up my copy of Infinite Jest today, so I’m officially in for Infinite Summer. There’s even a Ravelry discussion group. This is going to be fun! (But man, it’s even thicker than I expected…) -
Close Vision Super Powers
Holy crap! According to this AskMeFi question, my severe nearsightedness means that I actually have super-powered vision up close. I had no idea. I can’t read most text until it’s within 6 inches of my nose, but evidently once stuff moves into my focus, I am SEEIN’ THE HECK OUT OF IT. Suck on that, normal-eyed people!

Canning and Preserving
Artisan home canning and preserving. Oh, neat! Apparently canning supply sales are up 50% this year. Another food technique to get obsessed with. I am such a freakin’ hipster sometimes.

Just sent company-wide email asking if anybody wants to run City2Surf as a team. Co-workers seem quietly horrified.
@redambition Running the whole thing is highly overrated!
Thinking that the best way to start a long weekend is to go to bed extremely early and sleep off the entire week. Ohhhh, yeah.
@coach_chris I got maybe four positives (inc. @venks79) out of like 40 people. Disappointing! And they’re all seemingly fit 20-somethings.
Am now obsessed with idea of artisan home canning. My hipster tendencies are showing themselves… http://bit.ly/ie9HG

How the Snook wishes he could play piano. Yes, I’m serious. Exactly like that.

And web-goddess.org IS BACK! We had to use the Snook’s card to get past the stupid Verified by Visa errors.
Just completed a 4.08 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/9EFks #runkeeper
It’s definitely running season. I bet I saw over 100 runners in the Domain just now.
@knitness Wow, they’re really strict about it, huh? Sorry to hear it!
@shanea Does she scratch the corner? We put double-sided tape strips on the corners/arms of ours. They really don’t like that.
@shanea We found some fairly wide double-sided somewhere. Check this out: http://bit.ly/OhTcU. Something like that.
Torn between nostalgia for “our song” and embarrassment over the fact that it’s by Wheatus. *cringe*
@brodrigu I SAID I WAS CRINGING, DIDN’T I? (Shut up. It’s an awesome song.)
Finally heading out to knitting… I can’t wait for the 3 day weekend!
@knitness I’m heading out but there are still 5 people here…
It has been decreed that M&S SnB – once the Sale is over – will officially leave the shop @ 6.30 and retire to Grace Bar every Thurs. 🙂
@jokercom Thanks. It was the Verified by Visa. I had my bank de-enroll it and then it worked.
