I actually brought knitting tonight to go to M&S! Anybody gonna be there? Ping @knitterjp, @knitdra, @Yarna_, @knitness, etc…

@drkknits The schedule has fallen apart on Day One already? 🙁

@Soma377 That’s about right, but the Babykiller Dingoes are in the wrong place. Should be up in the middle. I’ve been there.

RT @Sitback: Sydney based experienced PHP resources needed. Apply via hello@sitback.com.au. // You’d get to work with me!

@drkknits Oh god you suuuuuuuuuuuck.

Only just escaped work. Too shattered and hungry for knitting. Headed home to collapse. Sorry @knitterjp and @Yarna_!

@mrs_sockvictim Congrats – it was a good day for it. (I got an offer too!)

I’ve had a headache for 24 hours now. Paracetamol’s not making a dent. This sucks.

@toastman Exactly normal. Not that. 🙁

@mrs_sockvictim My same (newish) one. Got offered permanent!

@brown_note @jchyip Interesting. I’m taking a month off alcohol for health, and within 5 days I’ve had to turn down team drinking events.

@drkknits Eek! I was virtuous. Work gave me an Easter Egg, and I gifted it to the girl at the Chinese grocery near my house.

@drkknits Totally agree. Primal dispensation granted! Work that 80-20 rule. 🙂

@imdominating Ugh. I am getting PEEP-ROLLED all over the place this Easter.

All the Millers Point buses this morning were full, no doubt with people only going as far as Town Hall. GAHHH. I miss my bike.

Feeling superhero-ish, like a grown-up Hit Girl. http://t.co/gFq1WxTB

@ambrosiamonkey Oh, it’s fine! But I promised my physio I wouldn’t ride til the tendonitis in my right quad is better. 🙁

@drkknits OH! There’s a scarf around the dummy that Zena’s cardigan is on. In thumbnail, it looked like the mannequin’s boob was hanging out

@drkknits I wouldn’t think you did it deliberately! It could’ve slipped. Or crazy spinner lady could have done it to DISCREDIT US!

All the nerds are hating on the Star Wars Kinect dance thingy. But I think it’s AWESOME. That robot dude from Cloud City as a DJ? GENIUS.

Listening to @amandapalmer makes me want to learn to play the piano. I wonder if @knitness would give me lessons? Could I learn as an adult?

@witty_knitter We already have one! That big thing in the dining room. You can probably see it on CouchCam right now 🙂

@drkknits But I want to pound on something in a dramatic fashion, like HBC in “A Room with a View”. You can’t play Beethoven on a uke.

@witty_knitter I chalk it all up to Thesis Brain! Happens to lots of people I know. 🙂

Asked @the_snook if he could teach me to play piano. “No. It would be like Obi Wan – you’d end up on the dark side.” HA!

What a week to give up drinking…

What time does the Arts Preview start? I need photos! Bunting! Ribbons!

@stufromoz Had previously committed to a dry April. But having a stressful week at work. Very tempted.

RT @KnitGuildNSW: The Guild stand. Well done all! http://t.co/ajKkjhD5

@mrs_sockvictim Woohoo! Congrats to the cardy queen!

@drkknits @mrs_sockvictim Worst. Liar. Ever.

RT @knitterjp: http://t.co/WoVYmD1z // I got 2nd place! Eww, that display is a bit weird though. Lumpy corpse feet. (Thanjs JP!)

@drkknits @knitterjp The lumpy corpse feet? No, no you did not. *stern look*

@stufromoz Yep! Thats cheering. I worked on those FOREVER.

Seriously, I blocked those socks painstakingly. And now they’re stuffed with, like, newspaper. *shrug* Oh well.

@drkknits @knitterjp Who would be so anal as to care about that? Fishing line has been good enough for 25 years!

But how did Bokaclava do? Just head for the sound of crying children!

@mrs_sockvictim Red is nice! The sock display is a little weird though.

@witty_knitter Ha! If by “cracked it” you mean “gave up and switched to a less obtuse category,” then yes. 🙂

@drkknits Didn’t get much sleep. (Power went out & silence woke me up. SILENCE.) Then forgot to leave gate open for handyman. Yawn. Suckage.

Yeah. Feeling pretty good about my decision to delete “Draw Something” from my iPhone: http://t.co/hPU0KuE7

@DomesticJules It’s not a virus. The company sold out to assholes and the CEO publicly insulted the one dev who turned them down.

@gilmae On Reddit a few folks said “Depict” was a good Pictionary app. Going to check it out…

Just bought Connectrode to support the dev that didn’t go to Zynga. Fun game, and the dedication to his wife is sweet. http://t.co/KE5V0hNK

@drkknits Is she an anti-buntite?

RT @shauninman: My final Draw Something: http://t.co/etwXnrCg

@drkknits Watch it! Somebody will print your tweets out and stick them her letterbox. (Or maybe @witty_knitter’s. They get confused.) 🙂

@witty_knitter @drkknits Remember? Somebody printed out some Rav comments of yours? And there was a letterbox and me involved?

@witty_knitter You’ve forgotten! UOTO. July 2009. Somebody put your Rav comments in CM’s letterbox attributed to me.

@witty_knitter I forwarded the old email to you. It’s a hoot.

@witty_knitter You were definitely on the email thread and even replied. You’ve just forgotten. Email will jog your memory.

@witty_knitter I’m afraid it did rather ruin my joke though. 😛

I sewed myself a new shirt today! #crafty http://t.co/2i9QNORp

@rachievaichie It’s the Colette Sorbetto. Free PDF online! Just google it. I added sleeves and left out pleat.

@rachievaichie Eh, it’s a bit smock-y. I have broad shoulders. But I’ve never made tops, so it was good practice!

@codepo8 You mock, but sadly even I would’ve hyperventilated over that as a kid.

@redambition @drkknits Most folks don’t eat a few pieces of fruit a day though. They have a jumbo Boost juice that might as well be Coke!

@drkknits I was actually admiring this the other day: http://t.co/4GnNqjXj IT’S GORGEOUS.

Very proud that @the_snook complimented me on dealing with trolls today. Not sure if I’m growing up or just getting lazy though.

You should follow @shanea – he just ran his first half-marathon! #followfriday

You should also follow @JennaPrice – or as I will always think of her, Minerva McGonagall. #followfriday

@drkknits Ah, I don’t think you were witness to my truly epic forbearance in the face of a partyline spouting Liberal.

It seems my doc has asked Sydney bus drivers to ramp up incompetence to motivate me to do physiotherapy and thus get back on my bike faster.

It’s Friday, and I’m in too good a mood to respond to trolls.

@Fiestywenchyone Numbers (from iWork). Very pretty. But I also just use Google Docs spreadsheet a fair bit.

@crumpet Only one I’ve read of his was Perdido Street Station, which was very cool.

This morning’s office playlist has included the Karate Kid soundtrack and now Justin Bieber. I suspect Karen is punking us.

@shanea I think those are both signs you’re having a stroke.

@mudsurfer Damn. Wish you were in Sydney – my company is looking for Drupal devs!

@witty_knitter @twelveeyes @Alacaeriel @redambition There’s only so much room in immediate hand distance, & there’s already gears/brakes.

@witty_knitter @twelveeyes @Alacaeriel @redambition Now I’m envisioning some sort of head-controlled air horn. I like this.

Phone call from @auspost. No one at Strawberry Hills office will admit to posting the license to me. IT JUST APPEARED, OUT OF THIN AIR.

And since no one at @auspost will own up to returning it, they aren’t going to pay for replacing it. Pretty much as I expected.

I did have fun filling out @auspost’s Customer Service Survey yesterday though. Too bad they didn’t have negative numbers on some questions.

Behold the magical license, not sent by @auspost despite their stamp being only mark! http://t.co/eoplnois http://t.co/Vmoe6phd

@witty_knitter Option 3: Get on a bike and do some swooping of your own. 🙂

I’ll stop poking @auspost now. Their Twitter person has been the only helpful customer rep in this whole ordeal. I’m over it, really.

@witty_knitter But the more bikes we have in traffic, the less terrifying it is for everybody! That’s my reasoning. Screw shared paths.

Ugh. They take Reader OUT of the Google nav menu and put in a link to “Play”?! UGH. Why can’t I customise that?

@auspost It’s okay, really. I honestly never expected to get the money back. I just wish there had been an explanation!

Condom or Android? I’ll admit I giggled. http://t.co/irVLvmy2 (cc @drkknits @venks79)

@drkknits @venks79 @gilmae There’s only iPhone, iPad, iMac. Everything else was just a knockoff of the brilliant branding. 🙂
