Trying to achieve a balance between brevity and over-specifying. And obviously losing.
@codepo8 Nah, not today. Kicking ass requires jeans. 🙂
Meeting @Opheli8 to deliver her dresses! (@ Marlborough Hotel) http://4sq.com/gU5hXb
@chrisgander A friend is a U.S. lawyer mainly helping poor people. She said that game is very true to life for a lot of her clients. 🙁
The Snook decided to test Eddie McGuire’s “Land of the Felafel” hypothesis: https://web-goddess.org/archive.php/postID/9646.
My constant badgering of the vending machine man has finally paid off. HEAPS OF PRETZELS. HEAPS!
@witty_knitter Dissertation Haiku: http://bit.ly/4xg0Uu. Thought of you. 🙂
@redambition Do you like the show? It’s like that. Not really traditional recipe format; more like order of operations for a full meal.
@redambition Hmmm… And actually, probably only 10 vegetarian meals in it, to be honest.
@redambition Come over some night. You can have a flip through and watch an ep (we have them on the DVR).
@redambition Check your gmail. Sent you a scan I had so you can see the non-traditional format. Lifting out single dishes isn’t easy…
@gilmae @redambition It’s hard because he doesn’t always give timings. Some things you cook for duration of doing other things.
@gilmae Having two people cooking also messes things up, because one of us is always jumping head to a different task.
@chrisgander The hammer and the shield ARE pretty cool…
RT @PhoenixCub: Lady Gaga shows up at the VMA’s in meat & arrives at the Grammy’s in an egg. She’s only 2 red carpets away from being a …
@redambition Ooh, don’t know it. Do a blog review! I’m going to write one on Health Month, which I think you’d LOVE.
New veggie in the box tonight: amaranth. http://twitpic.com/40d26u Treated it like spinach in scrambled eggs. Tasty and healthy!
Yay, the package from Heartbreaker has arrived! Pretty dresses for me and @Opheli8 and Nina!
In my best @mindykaling voice: Fashion Show! Fashion Show! Fashion Show at lunch!
RT @codepo8: @web_goddess oh oh oh! photos!!! // I hope poorly-lit bathroom photos are okay! Coming right up…
Heartbreaker Astro Dress in Atomic Red: http://twitpic.com/3zxfqr. Went down a size from last order and the fit is *much* better!
Super Spy Dress: http://twitpic.com/3zxg31 Wasn’t sure if a wiggle dress was for me, but wow. VA-VA-VOOM! Snook is gonna love it. 🙂
@that_alison Ooh, thanks for that. Will do. I don’t want it to shrink; it’s just right! 🙂
AGM documention just received, which means it’s OFFICIAL CONGRATS to @Kat13v, @SallyPompom, @miss_reecie, and @redambition!!
@SallyPompom Just to warn you: if you ask me to snail-mail you electronic receipts, I HAVE A RANT ALREADY PREPARED.
@drkknits We have two VPs. Don’t ask me why; I have no clue. 🙂
Ooh, also just noted: no special speaker this year?!
@drkknits Man, wish you could do it, Dr. K. I’d PAY to see you bring your dogs to an Exec meeting. Things would GET DONE! 🙂
@drkknits I have someone who’s agreed to do it! Just waiting for new Exec so I can put her forward for selection. 🙂
I did not realize that “unassuming manners” were part of the job description for being a Guild volunteer. Huh.
@drkknits Hahaha… Sorry you’re stressed, but that’s my new favorite hash tag.
Suddenly feeling quite feverish and pukey. Hope I’m not catching @lemon_lime’s virus… 🙁
@kunaal84 Murtaugh?
Gah. Hipster Cardy setback. Stupid pattern is poorly written; assumes you do a break-and-rejoin but doesn’t actually tell you to. #frogging
@kunaal84 Ah. Kinda weird but a little better. Snook thinks it was just low blood sugar. I’m not sure. Head still woozy.
@kunaal84 @AusVintageGrrl A Knitter For Evil. *crosses self*
@venks79 I like that “admin rights” is on there. 🙂
My Valentine’s Day gift: http://twitpic.com/3zo3xe Also container of Duck Fat & a promise to make amazing popcorn. Now I really am swooning.
Driver of 483 bus just closed the door ON ME and whacked my arm. Not the back door; the front one right next to him. Idiot. @131500buses
Snook is composing furious letter about two 431 buses to Millers Point that blew past Broadway without stopping. Badly done, @131500buses
@monnsqueak The angry letters I’ve sent usually get a reply, if nothing else.
@innerwestlive Wait, what? Sick puppet?! @redambition
@stufromoz I was hanging out with my healthy friends, the ones who are less of an EVIL TEMPTATION! 😛 @redambition
Uploaded pic of brown cardigan that I’m knitting… for, uh, no particular reason. *SHIFTY GLANCE* http://flic.kr/p/9hK63P #topsekrit
@drkknits Don’t you tell anyone! I might get disqualified, uh, er, NOT THAT I’M ENTERING ANY CONTEST WITH IT. OR ANYTHING.
Tonight’s Jamie recipe: Curry Rogan Josh, Fluffy Rice, Carrot Salad, Poppadums, Flat Bread, Beer. SPOILER: HELLA GOOD.
@tinkabel Great job!
Jamie’s 30 Minute Meals experiment #4: Curry Rogan Josh, Fluffy Rice, Carrot Salad, Poppadoms, Flatbread, and BEER! http://bit.ly/feKYt8
Brilliant new graffiti in Chippo @ Chippendale http://instagr.am/p/Bknr6/
@Epaulette What happened? Did you have a break in?!
@Epaulette Yikes! Hope missing phone is the worst of it and you’re okay…
For Valentine’s Day, the Snook stopped me from eating toast that had mould on the bottom. Try not to swoon, ladies!
Nothing like being passive-aggressive to start the week…
DailyMile 5K run/meetup! (@ Bicentennial Park) http://4sq.com/fNYXIr
Hello to all my guild friends!! http://twitpic.com/3yst0a (I’m a little sweaty. I just ran 5K.)
@kunaal84 WHAT? OH NO! You didn’t have them in your pocket or anything, did you? Can you really not get in?!
@kunaal84 Oh man, that sucks. I’m so sorry! Hope you get it sorted quick.
@kunaal84 Oh thank goodness! Now take a shower!! 🙂
@venks79 NOT A MENTAL IMAGE I NEEDED, VENKS.
Congrats to everyone who ran the #warriordash today! Hope you get all the mud out. 🙂
Slightly annoyed that free (secret) live updating appears to be gone from @runkeeper, but it finally prompted me to upgrade to Elite.
Off to podiatrist to discuss injured foot. Wish me luck…
Foot is definite PF, but awesome doc says shouldn’t stop me running. Will be strapping til I get orthotics, which should allow me to heal!
What a crazy week. Thought I scored a bigger desk at work, but perhaps not. Got some stuff done, at least.
@chrishodgkins Plantar Fasciitis. Very common running injury where you strain tendons on bottom of foot.
RT @amandapalmer: fantastic piece in the @guardian by bidisha_online re: PUBIC HAIR REMOVAL, read it & cheer http://bit.ly/FreedomDownThere
Taped up foot feels really weird, like it’s cramped but it’s not.
Wore plaits in my hair for the 1st time in years today, as it’s finally long enough. Nobody commented. Too juvenile? Too silly? 🙁
@BeckTheWrecker Yep. Full update is on my blog.
SMH website stylesheet is broken! Heh.
The 9th Annual web-goddess Oscar Contest is now LIVE! http://bit.ly/h6QtWs Prize is a pair of Black/White Swan ballerina sock monkeys. 🙂
@eileenDCoE Hahaha… our comments got deleted. 🙂
@Meshel_Laurie: You really liked Black Swan, right? I made them into sock monkeys. 🙂 http://bit.ly/h6QtWs
@miss_reecie Damn. Maybe you’ll like the sock monkey version better. 🙂
@imdominating @ScarlettLetters You guys are killing me… The rash was Snook’s idea. #creditwherecreditisdue
@dancingman …outside the Casa Rosada crying “Eva Peron.” DAMN YOU. Once Banderas gets in my head, he’s stuck there.
@kcarruthers Cheers for that! Just registered. #ozgd
@mathowie Woooo, MeFi meetup in Sydney, then?!
RT @wmyeoh: Realtime Sydney Buses: shows the GPS coordinates of Sydney Buses in real time. http://bit.ly/gWwBOZ // KILLER FRIGGIN’ APP!
@wooliewombat They always bring a new one out around June, so not for a good 5 months yet…
Petey enjoys watching Big Bang Theory. He likes when they make jokes about theoretical physics. http://twitpic.com/3y8zqx
I find it hilarious that the JUDGES have requested I keep my Show knitting a secret so they don’t get biased. BE PROFESSIONAL, IDIOTS.
@Opheli8 From the entire public. Because if they find out I’m knitting a brown cardigan, apparently ALL OBJECTIVITY IS COMPROMISED.
@crumpet Last year I was all fired up to use steganography to somehow knit an “EFF YOU” to the judges into my garment. Still might.
@SallyPompom I wonder if they cover the signatures on the paintings…
Paging @eileenDCoE! This AskMeFi question’s premise is flawed, right? Rosemary totally killed Big Jim! http://bit.ly/dRUxz6
@carbolicious Didn’t you set your oven on fire? Maybe you should try knitting instead. 😛
Sock monkey photoshoot is in full swing here. http://twitpic.com/3xxcxa @kunaal84 @lemon_lime
@miftik They did a couple signing on one of the commercials. It was really sweet’
@eileenDCoE We got ours at Kmart in the camping section.
@chrisgander Rodd said Yahoo’s Banzai will be at Warrior Dash w/ stickers and swag to hand out: http://yhoo.it/ijNHhQ. You should get some!
@drkknits I had one migrate in the middle of a gym session. Poked through a hole and nearly made it all the way to my collar!
@drkknits Damn. I like all those things. (I am weird.)
Jellyfish in Sydney Harbour (from Snook) @ Walsh Bay Wharf http://instagr.am/p/Bd6NZ/
Sudden sock monkey STROKE OF GENIUS. I AM A CRAFTY GODDESS. On the down side, am now covered in feathers again.
@gadgetgirl70 Not when she’s a crazy psychotic repressed lesbian perfectionist ballerina. That I can get behind.
@drkknits Check your Gmail. 🙂
Ugh. Wasted 60min tonight on TV show “market research” only to find this: http://bit.ly/gsHkdd. Exact same show & questions – 4 yrs on. GRR.
@drkknits The question is – are they dreaming of you? 🙂
@Lauren_lolly_ Nah, just a waste of time. I got a $10 Myer card out of it. Will give them a good rant when they call tomorrow though.
