You know it was a good party when you find a bloody knife, a Viking shield, and a Papal cummerbund while cleaning up the next day.

@randomknits There were a ton of drunken students in costume walking down Broadway last night. You won’t stand out too much!
Happy Halloween from Kenny and Dolly! http://twitpic.com/nnlxj
Feet are KILLING ME. Remind me to never again wear cowboy boots!
@imdominating That certainly didn’t help. (Nine tube socks in there. NINE.)
@AusVintageGrrl No, nothing, believe me! My dining room table is groaning under the weight of decorations!
@bellsknits But… I thought the whole point was that we learned not to click on strange links. How do I know that’s not another worm?!
@jobonekenobi That’s a really useful explanation! I plan on stealing that. π
@gilmae Right. And many of us have been railing against url shorteners for a while for that reason!

Debating on borrowing work’s Wii Drum Kit for Halloween party Guitar Hero action….
Drums procured. Rocking out is ensured.
@discoknitter Me too!
Peanut butter bacon cookies are coming out of the oven. This will be interesting.
@discoknitter Nothing, I was saying that I hope you’re feeling well enough to attend too!
Witch’s Finger Cookies are out of the oven! http://twitpic.com/nhyk1
@tinkabel They still spread more than I would have liked. π
Google Wave invite just arrived! Thanks again to @eskimo_sparky for hooking me up. … Now what?
@tinkabel @ValClifton Thanks! I make them every year and they’re always a hit. Wish I had a better oven though so they wouldn’t spread!
@kunaal84 @SupFarn If and when I get invites, you guys are first on the list…
Happy Halloween! My enthusiasm is only mildly tempered by how many items are on my To Do list for today…
@Domestic_jules Eek! Mine spread a bit, but not that bad. I tried the trick of leaving out the baking soda/powder. Still spread a bit. π
Taxi crash finally posted on the SMH: http://bit.ly/1CGeCx. Lucky it was that early with no pedestrians! Could’ve killed folks.
@Opheli8 Inbound it goes all the way to Riley. Outbound, I have to walk up to Castlereagh. (Sonsabitches.)
@twelveeyes Heh. I was kinda wondering that too. Do they screw on to the regular cables? Good for the Tunisian crocheters, I guess.
Took @eileenDCoE for a workout at Spudds, my 2nd in 2 days. Fun! 99m on the rower. I’m gonna be sore tomorrow though…
@imdominating @Justacogitating Sent to my coworkers. They’re now threatening to stage an intervention. “SHE SENDS THEM TO ME, I SWEAR!”
@Opheli8 I think you’re meant to give those people a paper bag to breathe into, aren’t you?
@Opheli8 I will give you $1 to get Declan away from my desk.
@CarriageWorks Not nearly so trendy, but used by the Chippo locals: http://bit.ly/sdy02
@twelveeyes Pretty hilarious that it’s basically the plot to the 3rd book (Edward pressuring her to get married).

Just finished cooking a dozen strips of bacon… for use in COOKIES. Am I blowing your mind?!
@rhagern http://bit.ly/OOwZJ Of course I found it on the Internet, font of all bacon wisdom… π
@Opheli8 Vego cookies have also been provided. They look like ripped off witches’ fingers!

The people on the bus are eyeing my fake Jack-o-lantern curiously. Good thing they don’t know there’s a POUND of candy corn inside!
Why I love the Snook: “Damn. If only I had a Boba Fett blaster.” “WE DO!” “NO WAY!”

Oh! They don’t email you about having Twitter lists; you just have to go to the site. I didn’t know that. I never go to the site.
@Warlach Heh, glad to hear it’s being eaten. The bag in my office is going fast…
@DDsD That sucks if it’s true, but I’m annoyed at the idea that female presenter automatically = dumbing down of show about gaming.
Schedule is up for this year’s Sydney Easter Show Arts comps…
And of course the Arts Show Schedule PDF takes forever to download and then is corrupt when you go to open it. Par for the course, really.
Discovered last night that Coles have orange pumpkins for like half what I paid. FML.
@Alegrya I’ve had two of those. You going to the place in Marrickville?
It’s lovely that another Guild group wants me to teach them about the ‘Net, but 9.30am on a Monday? Don’t they know some people work??

Shopping finished, 18 eggs hard-boiled, 39 cake balls formed, zombie doll procured…
461 driver waited til AFTER I dipped a brown ticket to tell me he was stopping at Town Hall because of an accident. The war continues.
@crumpet I am regretting putting you on my Street Team. You’re kicking ass! π
This is where the Internet fails. Massive 3-car accident at Park & College, yet I can’t find details anywhere online.
@DDsD Well, partly. I want to know how an engine block ended up on the sidewalk! I need the details.
@DDsD Ask @Opheli8! I think she saw it.
Engine! On the sidewalk! (See, @DDsD?) http://twitpic.com/nbg7v
@DDsD People in the office heard details on the radio. That’s why I labelled the Internet a fail. (No car = no radio for me.)
@kms12 Happy birthday! But don’t you get a cake in the office??
@gilmae You available? I might start hiking up your way.
It takes a village to make a Halloween costume. Much thanks to @randomknits, @gilmae, @AusVintageGrrl, and @thisismywww for my components!
@steven_noble I sent you an invitation on FB to our party on Saturday! But if he wants to t-or-t on Friday, we’ll be there…

@imdominating DO YOU EVER SLEEP? You are online MORE THAN ME.
Costume bits procured and tested, 3/4 of shopping done, cake baked, and pumpkin carved. Phew. Tomorrow’s list is even longer.
RPattz in cross stitch: http://bit.ly/3OPyj6. I’m disappointed they didn’t use glittery silver thread for his face. (Yoohoo! @imdominating!)

Guild members: don’t forget to send me your feedback on membership fee changes…
I am really, really unhappy with how they’ve screwed up Coles Broadway. http://bit.ly/1su2Fz
@Opheli8 I’ve got Kopiko in mine…
@steven_noble Ha! Your LiC post linking my blog just popped up in my RSS reader. π
@steven_noble Yeah, if it weren’t for cat food/litter I’d never step foot in Coles again. π
@imdominating That kinda makes it sound like I sent you a case or something.
RT @ebertchicago: Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire co-starring in a remake of “The Third Man? vomitvomitwomit. <- HAHAHAHA. I love Ebert.
It feels slightly weird to be complimented by the vet on my cat’s teeth. We don’t do anything special. Friskies FTW, evidently.
@gilmae Just sending you a wig reminder! π
Dr Amy survived her trip to the vet today, but she hasn’t forgiven us for withholding her effing breakfast this morning. Pissed off cat!
@gilmae You get in at 8? Impressed. Will head over say 11:30? Thanks for this!
Just completed a 4.35 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/1WUGau #RunKeeper
@dhgarske Halloween is fun. There should be more holidays where people get to wear costumes! (Maybe we could adopt Carnivale?)
Torn between desire to carve a traditional jack-o-lantern tonight, and impulse to instead make a Dwight-O-Lantern: http://bit.ly/3HC2dG
@acatinatree Part of my argument for Halloween. (It pretty much stops Christmas encroachment til November in the US.)
@crumpet You really, really do!
Last call for feedback on Knitters Guild membership fee issue…
The Month without Modding has ended, not with a bang but with a whimper.
Just completed a 4.43 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/12ezOf #RunKeeper
There is a sense of impending doom in the house. Dr. Amy has no idea she’s off to the vet tomorrow for a teeth cleaning.
The Halloween Week To Do list has been created. My inner list-making OCD geek is loving it.
How to shut up an extremely vocal kitten who likes to sing odes to the morn every day from 5am?
Unfortunately breakfast was forbidden as Dr Amy is getting a general at the vet today. Worst. Monday morning. Ever.
Cat safely delivered to the vet, and I’m finally on the bus to work. Late. In the rain. And how is YOUR Monday?
@misswired I mostly use Amazon. We deliberately got a DVD player that would handle all regions. No trouble so far!
@misswired If it’s a Mac, you can reset the region on the drive an infinite number of times. You just have to install a small app to hack it
@gilmae That’d be for me? It’s okay; I didn’t much feel like hiking to pick it up from you in this weather anyway. π
@gilmae Consider yourself lucky. @thisismywww’s wife is bringing in a special bra his wife has lent me.
Whoa. Can you guys please verify that anz.com.au has changed logos and everything and that my host file isn’t hacked?
They did advise they were changing the website, but I didn’t think that extended all the way to the logo and branding. Lesson learned.
The new ANZ logo/glyph looks like it should be on the side of a feminine hygiene product box.

Finally got to meet @steven_noble at the Fair this morning! The whole neighbourhood is mingling up on Kensington Street.
@alyshajane No idea! Lee pulled it out of his bag. I think it’s one of those ruffly short-row scarves.
