Wicked sinus headache and pulled muscle in my neck. Paracetamol not budging it. Haven’t left the couch all day. 🙁
I really like not being an AK mod anymore. Thanks to @Lauren_lolly_ and others for taking on the burden! 🙂
Self: This is your last day of jetlag and illness. Look at that sun! It’s time to come back to life.
@drkknits Hahaha… Thanks! 🙂
Great meeting! Knitting rockstar Liz Gemmell w/ rapt audience: http://twitpic.com/2ei166. She’s a force of nature! http://twitpic.com/2ei1d3
@drkknits Oh no. I KNEW I shouldn’t have mentioned it. Seriously, I need you guys to talk me OUT OF IT. Me = stress glutton.
@drkknits Don’t feed the ego! ARGH! Now you’re tempting me. Seriously. Do not need. Bad Dr K! Bad!
@drkknits I know of one person who’s thinking of putting her hand up…
@squozen My camera app works! But yeah, it’s not a huge leap ahead. Screen is nice, and Facetime would be sweet if I needed it…
I hope all you leggings-wearers are happy. I just saw a girl in stirrup pants. STIRRUP PANTS! The Apocalypse is upon us.
@anatyt The ones with elastic at the bottom that goes under the foot. One of the worst fashion offenses of the 80s.
You guys. Seriously. “Hey Jealousy” was a really good song.
@redambition Yes. Definitely still is.
Scott Pilgrim! Woooo! (@ Event Cinemas George Street w/ 3 others) http://4sq.com/8CzdWS
Scott Pilgrim was precisely as awesome and epic as I’d hoped. Now I want to dye my hair green.
Any last minute apologies for today’s Guild meeting? Let me know…
Wish I could skip the meeting. I feel like crap too! But the show must go on. #knittingmartyr #whaaaambulance
@SallyPompom Nice! Let me know when you want a lesson on the website. I’ll show you how you can post stuff directly yourself. 🙂
@drkknits Did you get your postcard? Kunaal said he got his last night, so you should get it soon!
@sharre 11-7 IS rough. Worst ever. My sympathies…
@henrytapia Welcome home!
So tired. Snook and I going to bed at 8pm. @kunaal84 says 1 day of jet lag per hour shifted. Is that right??
Oven repairman is here. Everybody send positive vibes that he’ll deem it a warranty repair!
Dear Bus Dude: Any remorse I would feel for coughing on you is removed by your refusal to close your legs and give me more than 20% of seat.
Teaching @zedsains how to use her iPhone. We have achieved genuine Childlike Wonder (TM) folks!
@atomic_anu @mpesce Heh. Only if he was on the 461 to the city at 8:45… 🙂
Snookums scored the iPhone 4. So if you want to buy one outright, sounds like the Apple Store had some today. (Big queue though.)
iPhone 4 syncing. Brand new bottle of paracetamol beside me. Good for what ails ya!
Any iPhone 4 users able to try out FaceTime with me?
@imdominating OHFORGOD’SSAKE. No. I’m going to show them my horrible snotty bedhead. 🙂
@Lauren_lolly_ Yes, over WiFi. I’ll DM you my phone number. Give me a try when you can!
@ozquokka @redambition It occurs to me that it’s not much use if no one else has one yet! Oh well. It’s pretty and shiny. 🙂
@Epaulette Rodd got it for me today to make me feel better (and thus scoring mega Husband Points). They had stock at the Apple Store!
Whoa! I had no idea the Starmore books were getting reprinted. That’s awesome. I can finally own Aran Knitting!
@Lauren_lolly_ Yikes! Oh well, give me a call tomorrow if you think of it. 🙂
@crumpet Settings -> Notifications. And then just turn them both off. I hate those.
Crap! Both @miss_reecie and Emily are at Knit Camp, aren’t they?
@witty_knitter Argh. For some reason I couldn’t remember Em’s twitter name. Thanks. 🙂
One day back and I’m already starting to feel sick. Damn my flu-ridden colleagues!
Feeling wretched. In bed. Who gets sick on their first day back from holiday?! 🙁
@witty_knitter @gilmae Yeah, I reckon you’re both right. This sucks.
Bad: I’m a virus-ridden sickie. Good: Snook is currently in a queue at Apple Store, hopefully getting me an iPhone 4. I FEEL BETTER ALREADY!
First time I’ve ventured outdoors in 50+ hours. So THAT’s what the sun looks like! *yawn*
RT @_brigita_: Jetlag, you are SUCH an asshole.
A little bit blonder, a little bit shorter. Introducing the Honey Bob. Bazinga. http://twitpic.com/2d26r6
@chrisgander It’s Big Bang Theory, not Scott Pilgrim! 😛
@TimBags You just completely blew my mind.
In the U.S., I discovered you can get generic Zyrtec for 30c a pill. I bought two giant bottles. That was pretty sweet.
@_brigita_ Happy birthday! We went there too last week and it was awesome. I recommend the Turtle Sundae. 🙂
@_brigita_ We really wanted to visit the Mustard Museum in Middleton but ran out of time. They advertise “Poupon U” on their signs. 🙂
Back to work. Forgot my security pass. Dreading the email deluge. Looking forward to seeing my friends though!
3rd attempt for my bus to cross Elizabeth St. Rain is turning Sydney drivers into horrendous jerks.
Day 2 of Post-Vacation Sloth complete. Thank God I took tomorrow off too. #jetlag #migraine
Sydney – what’s the sitch on iPhone 4? Anybody know if the Apple Store has stock (for buying the handset outright)?
@redambition I’m just getting a second opinion! I was hoping Twitter would disagree. Sadly, seems not. 🙁
@ozgamer You got one?! Nice!
Yawn… Just had a lovely jetlag-induced nap. Now I really have to get us up or we’ll never sleep tonight..,
The nap strategy didn’t work well. It’s 6.30pm and I’m falling asleep. I want to give in and go to bed!!
2am. I’m awake. I feel kinda pukey and crappy too. Screw you, jet lag. 🙁
GREAT last night with Liz (aka Pants!) in LA. Now just waiting for the flight back to Sydney! http://twitpic.com/2bztno
Sydney! Huge queue at Customs; huge queue at taxis. And it’s cold. And I already saw a Feathers scarf. NOT HAPPY, JAN.
@stufromoz We usually cab it to avoid having to drag 4 suitcases all the way down Broadway from Central…
HOME! Dr Amy seems to have missed us. And @redambition thankfully provided croissants and coffee, so all is well. 🙂
