Okay, so the random bus dude who said I looked lovely and wished me a good day was clearly a crazy person. Still, nice start to Monday.

.@brooke_fong @astroboysoup Interesting that it doesnât say much about fulfilment, which is where my @Pozible experience hasnât been great.
Good grief. Made a FB post about the stupid Chick-Fil-A thing; got the most epic tl;dr in the world in reply from a family member. *sigh*
I need to read some tweets from my awesome cousins to recalibrate my opinions of the MIdwest. (cc @imdominating @Justacogitating)

@blakkat Snook and I are doing it. No booze, no sugar, no dairy, no grains. Nutritional reset button! Already difficult tho. #whole30
@blakkat Definitely no bread and potatoes! Google âWhole30â. Itâs rough, but weâve been going in the wrong direction for a while.
@drkknits Tonight Snookâs roasting lamb with pumpkin & spinach. Ghee is just because weâre trying no dairy this month. Whole30 = hardcore!
@jessgenevieve Ooh, lovely. Iâm a big fan of slow carb; followed it for a while last year!
@jessgenevieve I’m a big fan of the Paleo Salisbury Steaks: http://t.co/YsyEZLcC. We have those at least once a fortnight!
@blakkat Ooh, thanks. Adding to Google Reader now!

CHAOS! Fam’s @united flight back to LA from Sydney tomorrow has been cancelled. Trying to sort out replacement flights!
We had to ring @united’s international number and sit on hold to sort it out. Looks like they’re rebooked through San Fran!
Hmm. @united CSR told my family they were getting Economy Plus seats… but the ones they’re given aren’t. Tall stepdad is not happy.

@venks79 @kunaal84 I had to return Bayswater rental car. Just passed Alex sailing down William St on his skateboard. đ
@codepo8 I already use it for a different shared password. Always fun when I ask @the_snook to log in for meâŠ
@drkknits Damn. After last night, I realised how much I miss public speaking. Swap you for a while? đ
