I bought “brain-boosting chewing gum.” I’m not sure it’s working. Also, it tastes like ass. http://t.co/y0SWMcT


Dear @optus. I’m in Telstra shop right now. New plan will be same cost as my old $39 plan, w/ double data and free tethering. Good riddance.


Happy St. Paddy’s Day! (@ Australian Youth Hotel) http://4sq.com/heZG2B


Number ported to Telstra & working. Yay! Even got a deal so I’m paying $5 LESS than @Optus for more value. Already tested tethering too. 🙂


@Diepdin Happy Birthday Emily the Car!! 🙂


@ptinutz Didn’t quite believe it myself. But I don’t make a lot of calls, so he gave me un-advertised $29 cap plan.


Heh. Woke up to a text from a drunken mate who spent the night in Chippo and doesn’t know how to get to work from here. #stpaddysday


RT @katereardon: Japanese nuclear worker on the news: “I am prepared to die to avoid meltdown.” Say it with me–I will not complain abou …


@sharre @redambition I can’t figure out if they’ll look good over my jeggings or not… 😛


Switched to @Telstra last night and I’m loving it. Had fast 3G all the way to work this morning through CBD!


Freaked out when I saw “HEALTHY HOOKUPS PTY” on credit card statement. Turns out it’s @gnclivewellaus. FUNNY JOKE GUYS.

Soreness from Sunday’s long run is totally gone! Looking forward to doing some punching at Spudds today…


Ha. Ha. Just discovered that “Map of Tasmania” only has two chords. There’s another one for knitting camp, @drkknits! 😀


@imdominating Damn you! *shakes fist* Not available here. 🙁


@drkknits I saw it linked somewhere today. I’ll watch it at home tonight! 🙂


@imdominating You are just tormenting me at every turn today!


Whoa, major uke progress tonight! My two songs are recognisable! Just have to get down the strumming rhythm and coordination. cc @drkknits


@TimBags When you got a mortgage? Has that tendency. 🙂


@drkknits @knitterjp @mrs_sockvictim @knitabulous Ahhh, but my iPhone has a ukelele tuner app (not kidding!) so I have to have it. 🙂


@eileenDCoE Tuesday Morning! Queuing it up on the iPhone now… 🙂


Suddenly I realised I forgot to eat breakfast. Been fuelled by caffeine, annoyance, and frustration, I guess.

@thezedmiester @Opheli8 Hahahaha… Got my GetUpGo birthday credits this morning. It’s like a shuffling zombie that Will Not Die! 😀


Birthday burger! (@ Grill’d) http://4sq.com/gBCuti


RT @mindykaling: Jesus and Ramona #HigherStakesChildrensBooks // Heh.


Just be quiet and count the days…


Somewhat annoyed that Foursquare doesn’t have a “Sexual Harassment” badge.


Off to Bentley Bar for my hot birthday date with the Snook…

.@drkknits BRING IT ON. I am all about the agar agar tonight!


Bless him. He got me a flower. 🙂


2 courses in, Bentley Bar = EPIC WIN.


He brought me my favorite flower. http://instagr.am/p/CQbQ9/


Thank you to everybody for birthday well-wishes. It was a great day!


Slowly coming back to life. Slowly. Good food offers too much temptation to drink a lot of good wine, too. 🙂


@DDsD Whoa. What-what-what? “Pork Belly Baklava”?!?! Where is this place? Spill, please.


@AusVintageGrrl Ooh, thanks! Will check it out at my next practice session. 🙂


@drkknits @AusVintageGrrl Unfortunately I have a much more pressing knitting deadline… 🙁


@drkknits It’s pretty simple actually, just 3 chords. Just need to practice strumming. More about mechanics and lack of finger calluses!

Instagram has added faux tilt-shift. I heart Instagram.


Okay. @optus says I can only have Personal Hotspot if I upgrade old $39 plan to something more expensive. Time to learn about jailbreaking.


@Opheli8 I will never be able to read that acronym without hearing it in a particular accent.


@cdeagle I meant for them to. I’m not happy. They want to charge me more to use data I’m already paying for.


@Opheli8 The kind that involves bright red lipstick…


Thinking very seriously of leaving @optus for @telstra. Maybe I’d actually have working 3G data in the CBD!


@Optus Unfortunately old plan is perfect for me, and I don’t use anywhere near my data. New plan = more $ just to share my included data!


@thisismywww The Optus network sucks in the CBD so changing to something else would be a bonus.


Me: “What’ll we have for dinner? We have some pork chops in the freezer, right?” Snook: “We’re supposed to have steak today. :)” CHEEKY!


Just booked the Snook and I in to see “One Man Lord of the Rings” in a few weeks: http://bit.ly/gwv8Z6. Geek anniversary present. 🙂


@brockleyboyo It is! We didn’t see that one though.


@redambition Dilemma! I love AFP but I have an allergy to GNW.


Thanks @stufromoz and @randomknits! 🙂


@stufromoz Hahaha, no, not today! Birthday girl slept in and is now sucking down a cup of coffee. 🙂


@justjussi From your lips to the evil bus drivers’ ears… 🙂


Birthday macarons. @ Sweet Infinity http://instagr.am/p/CPsn6/

@lemon_lime @eileenDCoE I only just finished!!


Today’s run report is up on Daily Mile: http://bit.ly/hiEf0u. Huge thanks to @lemon_lime, Jamie, and the Snook for running with me!


Our 8th recipe from Jamie’s 30 Min Meals: Pregnant Jools’s Pasta w/ Chicory Salad & Frangipane Tarts. http://bit.ly/h1Ixj1 Easy and tasty!


Sudden realization: the wizard in Evil Dead 3: Army of Darkness is also Mr. Pitt from Seinfeld! My mind is blown.


What is up with George St traffic? Been sitting in one place for 10 minutes. And now I’m late. Grrr.

Ahhh, Future Music Festival is on. This explains the dickhead young people stumbling from Central. Since when are ratty Daisy Dukes a trend?


Seriously, Foveaux St is like a parade of the Worst of 80’s Skank Fashion right now.


I have the ukulele tab for @amandapalmer’s in my mind, and I’m practicing! KNITTING CAMP IS GONNA ROCK. (cc @drkknits)


@drkknits One hour of practice has left me with numb fingertips! This is going to be a long process…


Carbo-loading in preparation for tomorrow’s Epic Long Run. I can do it. I can do it! (cc @mrs_sockvictim, who is going to run bit with me!)


@lemon_lime Checking with @mrs_sockvictim now. Early part of the day, I think, definitely before noon.


@MarthaStewart Congratulations!


Wow, best Jamie’s meal yet in terms of cooking time! We did this one in 35 but 30 seems easily achievable. It’s “Pregnant Jools’s Pasta.”


@sedroknits Book and TV show. We’re blogging one of his 30 Minute Meals per week. This one will go up on blog tomorrow. web-goddess.org


It’s two days til my 34th birthday… and I’m about to head out on my longest run ever: 17 miles / 27km. I can do it.

Look at this effing hipster with her new ukelele! http://twitpic.com/48a3aa Now I just need to learn how to play it…


@witty_knitter Yes, I am quite the lady of leisure. 😛


@blakkat I’m a thin young man. That’s depressing.


@blakkat We are large, we contain multitudes. 🙂


What was that Windows game called with the bouncing balls where you tried to block off a percentage of the board??!


IT WAS JEZZBALL. Thank you @lemon_lime and your l33t google skillz! 🙂


RT @Opheli8: Simon Pegg and Nick Frost will be showing ‘Paul’ at Popcorn Taxi in Syd. http://bit.ly/hJ5dZK // @kunaal84 – should we go?!


@kunaal84 Okay, okay, we’re booked in. 🙂 @Opheli8 @imdominating


I can confirm that on my iPhone 4, Personal Hotspot doesn’t work upon update to iOS 4.3. Says I have to contact @optus to set up. WHY?


@squozen I found mention online that they’d dropped the fee. If that’s the case, why make me call?

GOOD GRIEF. How in the world is one meant to eat a salad while wearing bright red lipstick? I feel like my napkin is smearing it everywhere.


@AusVintageGrrl Ooh, I want one please!


@GGDSydney I might be up for it. I’ll likely be tweeting anyway… 🙂 #girlgeeksyd #AuTechHeads


@redambition I’m wondering too. Let me know if you get an answer!


@TitusAtticus Didn’t you see that when it went around… a year ago?


Anybody free to join me on a looooong run on Sunday? Thinking of staying in Inner West… @laimelde @mrs_sockvictim @redambition


Just heading out to #girlgeeksyd! Can’t wait…


Ahhh, “How to Break a Glass Ceiling.” The topic @venks79 was afraid of me hearing! #girlgeeksyd

@brown_note Well… It’s in Sydney. Are you in Melbs?


@ng_tina That’s what I wonder. Is input type=calendar going to be the new blink tag?


@stamf That’s not sharing your geekness; it’s just being a nerd. 🙂 #girlgeeksyd

Snook’s fancy new shoes! http://instagr.am/p/CJKTH/


@CerealBoy Hahahaha… Now I am imagining all the devs over there judging each other’s shoes like it’s Sex and the City.


I should also clarify that the Snook was sitting in a chair in that photo. He does not, in fact, wear Mom Jeans or anything.


@blakkat @CerealBoy Oh god, you guys are gonna get me in trouble for making the whole Internet talk about his new shoes.


@chrisgander Hahaha… Yeah, cookies baked inside other cookies is hot on the cooking blogs lately. Haven’t tried it yet. #lowcarbdiet

@gilmae I’ll let you know if it actually works on my iPhone4. I have a suspicion Optus will probably disable it.

FYI: orthotics are just shoe inserts. I am not wearing special orthopedic shoes. These are just normal shoes. No need to point and laugh.


In an attempt to avoid snacking, I made myself a cup of Moccona. It worked. This shit is VILE. I’ll never eat or drink again.


Injection procured. Also got a metaphorical pat on the head from my doctor for losing weight. Yay Wednesday?
