I have accepted the reality that we won’t make it back to the States this year…

Confession: I actually love when stupid punk bands speed up non-punk songs. Bonus points for 80’s songs. (Yes, I was closet Lee Harding fan)

First Leoben was creepy. Now he’s CREEPY HOT.

RT @imdominating @therealnph the best of nerd vandalism! http://bit.ly/BbkkF <- PHP + drunk + spraypaint = funny.

@brockleyboyo Yeah, finally making my way through it via DVD. Nearly at end of season 3.

Just completed a 4.00 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/pZmlC #RunKeeper

Slow jog with hill repeats on Wilson St. My lower back – which was fine during C2S – is KILLING me now. 🙁

Snook just got email “confirming” he’d signed petition against US health care reform. Sent website a scathing rebuke. They lie and lie…

Holy crap. How is it 1:00 already?

If you used the St. George ATM on York Street, there was a skimmer attached. @TimBags, 600+ other people were affected. Watch your account!

@randomknits You’re stirring the pot over on Rav today, you stinker! The mods are having a pow-wow…

@DDsD Not quite. We have one. Snook never looks it. I just end up nagging him when we’re supposed to do shit.

Got emailed by a journalist wanting me to comment on graffiti knitting. HA! This is going to be good.

@stufromoz Not sure. It was my friend @TimBags who got skimmed, and he’s where I heard about it…

Rain and storm, oh my! Cats are hiding.

@Bex_the_Femme I’ll send you my reply. You’ll like it.

Knitters: Which hypothetical name for a LYS do you like best? Newtown Stitchery / The Newtown Nook / The Granny Square / Champion on King

@redambition Ahhh, but imagine the merchandising opportunities! T-shirts that say: “I heart COK…” HAHAHAHA! 🙂

Just completed a 4.65 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/PrT52 #RunKeeper

@witty_knitter I don’t know if it would be 100% knitting just yet…

Can’t find Snook. No cell signal. Wandering and sweaty! #city2surf

Found Snook. Trying to find other MBA teammates. Sitting behind Accenture tent at south end… #city2surf

@Opheli8 So far only Paul J. I saw Venks at 5km mark but no sign since. And Sven is MIA.

Me and Paul J after the race.Paul kicked my butt! We never did find Venks or Sven. #city2surf http://twitpic.com/d8kl7

@coach_chris First half great, second half not so great. (Stitch, cramping.) Still finished in about 110. Home now and showered. 🙂

@venks79 Well done! Your pace was much more consistent than mine.

@devvyleys Outdoor running is so hard. Have to build up slowly. Try the Couch to 5K when you’re ready. I’m sure you can do it!

Crap. I took about 10 photos during the #city2surf, but crappy 3G coverage meant only 2 got uploaded to @runkeeper. Any way to resubmit?

@bennymarsh Did you remember to turn off wifi? I only get bad gps when I forget. My #city2surf distance was spot on.

Now the reward: Full. Body. Massage.

We are like 5 minutes into Transformers: The Movie (the animated one), and I’m completely lost. How does a giant robot turn into a tiny gun?

@sharre For latchhook? Very, very difficult. M&S used to carry it, but supplier stopped making it. No idea where to get it these days.

Insecticons? There is obviously a whole mythology here that I’m missing out on.

“There’s a girl Autobot? What does she turn into? If it’s, like, a goddamn hair brush, I’M GONNA VOMIT.”

@shanea I just want to know why the girl Transformer sucks so bad. She hasn’t transformed yet!

@randomknits Wow! Ten points to @gilmae for originality and plating. But how did it taste?

@shanea It was time for Snook’s WoW raiding session, so I took advantage and switched off Transformers. (Nerdiest. Sentence. Ever.)

WICKET! Man, I might actually get to see the Poms lose before bedtime. (This is MUCH better than Transformers already.)

Any of you have Microsoft Works? Trying to open a .wps document…

@gilmae Tried it. OO wanted me to choose from 100+ non-alphabetised filter formats, none of which matched. But NeoOffice opened it 1st try!

Thanks, everybody. I got it open. OO didn’t like it, but NeoOffice opened it just fine…

@Opheli8 I don’t do sewing, really. Hm. Wonder if I could knit one.

My Race Report for the 2009 City 2 Surf is up, complete with lots of pics from the course: http://bit.ly/j75V1

Just read the phrase “And you’re only getting older” in email from @carbolicious. THANKS, SIS. Great way to start my Monday…

ARGH. Halfway to city and just realized I left half the crap I printed out for Guild meeting at home. Will have to muddle through.

Brilliant Guild meeting! 3 new members, approval for workshop plans, great show & tell. Lovely tea from @WittyKnitter and Sandra too!

Felt a bit tired so curled up on the couch to “rest my eyes.” Woke up three hours later.

@TimBags I was hoping it was going to be shaped like a racecar from your comment. That would’ve been cool.

Snook is prepping side dishes to go with his lovely roast lamb. No carb-loading for me for #city2surf; trying to keep to my usual routine.

Can’t believe folks are lining up for #city2surf already. I just got up! One of the perks of living close to the city, I guess.

On the bus to #city2surf starting line. Have to remember this is NOT my goal race. Just a training run. Just a training run…

View towards starting line down College St. 75K runners in 2008 #city2surf http://twitpic.com/d7l70

Made it to portaloos. Trying to stay warm before start. Won’t be tweeting during race, but photos will be up right after. #city2surf

Me and my new buddy Steven waiting to start. Any second now. #city2surf http://twitpic.com/d7npb http://bit.ly/Nn1Up

Confession: I didn’t even realise that Twitter was down.

Just blogged a review of new #runkeeper release that supports geotagging photos doing your workout: http://bit.ly/1mb1T

Just how I like to spend my lunch break – sitting in the bank. It’s time to fix account name typo though. I am NOT married to the SMOOK.

For future reference: ANZ Phone Help – useless. Staff at Broadway – useless. Sunil at George St branch – only helpful person in whole co!

Official photos of me from last weekend’s Bay Run: http://bit.ly/TZlBn

@Ezzles Hooray! Congratulations… Where’s the job??

Ahem. Inner City group of Knitters Guild is up to 48(!) members, no doubt due to my brilliant (and modest) leadership skillz.

Trying to work up the willpower to get out of my warm bed and walk over to the Eveleigh Farmers’ Market.

Just back from Eveleigh Markets. Propose new economic indicator: how many trendy small dogs are wearing clothes at an Inner West event.

@coach_chris I’ll probably just be getting to Heartbreak Hill. EEP! (Be sure to Twitter afterwards. Maybe we can meet up!)

New #Runkeeper Pro version is live in AU app store! Perfect timing for City2Surf. Will take photos to enforce walk breaks.

@bellsg Week 1 is traditionally awesome. Just don’t get discouraged if Week 2 isn’t as huge!

Heh. http://kenyanbirthcertificategenerator.com – for when you need to discredit an enemy’s citizenship.

Note to self: If you tweet pictures of desk with incriminating bottles of Diet Coke, the Snook WILL CATCH IT.

@Opheli8 @misswired Sorry, ladies. I’ve only got sock wool on me today. (Must remember to bring a larger stash for beanie emergencies.)

My two favorite things today: http://twitpic.com/cxzee. I’m gonna be wired.

@Bex_the_Femme Proof that two WRONGS make an UNHOLY TORNADO OF WRONGNESS. *shudder*

@fictillius As a woman, I’d happy trade Fernwood for the Melbourne Club.

@DDsD Obviously you haven’t been on one that was tuned to “Transport TV”. (I’m not kidding.)

Heading to knitting…

Holy crap. Just watched Jamie Oliver’s pig special… after having pork chops for dinner. Next ones will be guaranteed free range.

I actually just had to run into the street and wave my arms to get a 461 driver to stop at Broadway. Kris 1; Forces of Evil 0.

Check out the 5.07 km run I did with @runkeeper http://bit.ly/KY1Kn #RunKeeper

@devvyleys I’ve got one at my house you can photograph if you need to!

Monster circuit training session at Spudds today. Had a hell of a time trying to keep up with @chrisgander. My legs are DEAD.

@purple_velvet @sharre Well, I’m teaching socks at Guild camp in Oct., but they were reluctant to put on more than 1 sock class. #socksummit

@sharre I dunno; mine’s filling up. I think they though the Pru Mapstone was a much bigger draw. (She’s sold out, so guess they’re right.)

Whoa. http://mudrun.com.au. @shanea, @TimBags, @Steffi_83… You guys up for running in the mud? 😛

I can’t even tell the rest of the office how brilliant “Single Ladies (in Mayberry”) is, because they don’t know the Andy Griffith Show. #fb

Updated my Skype photo at work. I was using self as Queen Amidala, but coworker asked in all seriousness if I was Tajikistani. #costumefail

@sharre @randomknits Deputy Sharre has spoken true. 🙂

@Diepdin Oh Em! Shouldve sent to you right away. Will send now. 🙂

Started new knitting project. Sunshine yellow Blue-Faced Leicester makes me happy to be alive. This could turn into something special…

Just took a couple pics of Tasman Summer Tunic. All I need is a ribbon for the front and a button for the back: http://twitpic.com/cwjft

@gilmae BRILLIANT! Thanks for that. I’ll head down Saturday arvo.

@imdominating I’ve settled on Tweetdeck. Still crashes occasionally, but I like using the same interface at work/home/phone.

Last week I got a 2nd monitor, this week I got a window with view of Crown St and City. Happy worker. http://twitpic.com/cwvzv

Pic of dress is slightly oversaturated. True colour is more of a deep royal purple. (Paddington in Dover: http://bit.ly/3xEIf) @justjussi

@witty_knitter I wasn’t planning on it.

@henrytapia It’s normal around here! Tech team uses Skype to communicate, & I’m giving Twitter preso Mon. Mobile industry very connected. 🙂

Going to collect my team’s City2Surf race packs. Only 5 days left!

How to Double Blog Traffic in 1 Day: insult graffiti knitters. That’s my bit of SEO genius for July. (Note to self: put ads up next time!)

@TimBags Which did you get? I’ve been looking myself.

RT @gilmae: @web_goddess Isn’t it hard to make the yarn stick to the side of the train? <- BWAHAHAHA…

@carbolicious Excellent. Hopefully we’ll be there then too!

Could James Mathison replace Kyle on Idol? PLEASE OH PLEASE! http://bit.ly/19zmIr Mathison was the best thing about that show.

@witty_knitter Yay! I hope it isn’t too much bureaucracy. I don’t remember having to get a police report? Maybe just for Kiwis?! 😛

@Ezzles Ha. I once dragged my 12yo neighbour to see Phantom Menace like four times. #shameful #confession

Looking for reputable plumber/water heater guy in Inner West. Anybody know somebody?

On my way to physio to see if my back can be improved before Sunday’s race.

Yowch. I’m gonna have bruises!

@TimBags Ha, that’s right next door to our office!

@witty_knitter @mrs_sockvictim Okay, this conversation has gone in very different direction from innocent proclamation of arrival of spring!

Chippendale Fresh Food Co-op is really happening! If you’re in Chippo and not on the email list, let me know and I’ll forward.

Holy crap. Ben & Jerry’s are opening in Sydney! Free ice cream! THE TOTAL WRECK OF MY DIET! http://www.benandjerry.com.au (@gadgetgirl70)

@carbolicious Huh. I saw somebody on TV once with a glitter phobia. It’s very real and weird.

The Shawl Virus is spreading. I can appreciate them as beautiful things… but no, not for me. I may have to build a bunker and hide.

Getting the low-down on machinations within Sydney retail craft community. Very interesting things are afoot!

Was present for actual Wheeling and Dealing. All highly confidential. Will email the enquiring minds…

Email is being typed RIGHT NOW, and you’re all on it…

@bellsg Wait, I don’t think I have your email addy, Bells! Send quick!

Sent. I love sharing exciting gossip. Shhhhhh….

@bellsg Hmmm… You were on there! Just sent again, so you may get two.
