@shanea Wait, what? You need to include me on those! Or at least send summary details. 🙂

---

Man, what is UP with all the porn follows today? Are you guys blocking these people? So far I’m just ignoring but it’s starting to annoy me.

---

@wookie_man I haven’t bothered blocking anybody yet, but I might start.

---

Going to punch some stuff. W00t.

---

Haven’t yet managed to repeat feat of 101m in 20s on rower. Very frustrating. Anybody got secret rowing machine tips?

---

Dreamed the Transformers caught me & sent me to Fat Camp. I was rescued by Matt Parkman and the Heroes. WTF?

---

Why SMS uses only 160 characters: http://bit.ly/W5WO1. See, @Opheli8 ! It isn’t just to annoy us…

---

Have suddenly found myself in midst of Communist worker parade/protest on George St. There’s an awful lot of flair visible for Communists.

---

@SupFarn Hahaha… We’ll get there if I have to frog-march him all the way. Say, you guys up for some Guitar Hero?? 🙂

---

Stuck in traffic on King St. Girl next to me is eating an ORANGE ON THE BUS. Ugh. If she starts trimming her nails, I’m officially in hell.

---

Full as a tick. Many thanks to Eva & #SupFarn for inviting us over for leftovers. Mud crab, marinara, ice cream, profiteroles: Goodbye diet!

---

Happy Star Wars Day, Twitter. May the 4th be with you. (via @andrewsayer)

---

CRAP. Fell asleep on the couch at 4:30, and only woke up when our 6pm dinner invitation host SMSed to see where we were. 🙁

---

The heavens have opened. Thunder CRASH! Lighting FLASH!

---

Nothing like waking up to a “ZOMG URGENT” email demanding a change to the Guild website from someone who ISN’T THE BOSS OF ME. Grrrrrr.

---

@witty_knitter Oh, I sent a scathing reply before I’d had my coffee. Will forward to you.

---

Heading into city to be substitute sock knitting teacher at M&S.

---

6pm. I have 20 minutes to think of something to make for dinner. Internet, what say you?

---

For the record, that is chocolate all over my T-shirt. Not that that makes it any less embarrassing.

---

@misswired Well, I’m a migrant. What’s the issue?

---

Lying in wait. Snookums doesn’t yet realize that I’ve put an extra quilt on the bed (because I’M FREEZING).

---

@runkeeper Good work! I really need to delete points tho. My worst one has ~ 20 pts way, way off course. Dragging each one would take ages!

---

So what’s it like when you have swine flu? “…His main problem is boredom.” ZOMG, FIND A MASK. http://bit.ly/8CKTV

---

@runkeeper Sounds good! Keep up the great work…

Ferris Bueller as Fight Club: http://tinyurl.com/dxtc7u BRILLIANT.

@twelveeyes No no no no no. Not a word. Not to be uttered. Makes my skin crawl. I’m pretty sure it was invented by marketroids.

---

Just downloaded the Business Analyst Body of Knowledge (BABOK) v. 2.0. I am too excited about something so nerdy.

---

@randomknits In Australia? Has the Snuggie finally arrived on our shores? (I still like the DOONA SUIT myself.)

---

RT @KnittyLynn: Fake indie alert, Urban Threads ripping off Jenny Hart AKA Sublime Stitching: http://tiny.cc/fakeindie

---

Party cat: http://nedroid.com/tag/party-cat/ Thanks to @marmotmaster for the link!

---

@sharre We should form the Anti-Tights Liberation Front. I’M RIGHT THERE WITH YA.

---

@knitness I believe the appropriate response is “Drink til they’re cute.”

---

Pub. Pub pub pub pub pub.

---

@venks79 Awww, I’m already home!

---

@acatinatree American comma? It’s the OXFORD comma, and I am 100% in support. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.

---

ARGH. Spent whole ride to work sending furious complaint email to Sydney Buses about drivers on 461 & 480 routes. I am officially a crank.

---

It takes a special kind of chutzpah to turn up 45 minutes late to a project management workshop. (No, not me.)

---

So far this PM course is really good. Lots of practical info. Just spent lunch quizzing instructor on approaches for annoying work issue.

---

Just got followed by @motherabigail ! Please tell me Stu Redmond’s on here. I’d head to Hemingford Home for him. (Beware the Walkin Dude.)

---

PM workshop going great, but warm room + white noise + post-lunch = yanking hairs out of my arm to stay awake. A coffee is needed.

---

@Alex_Manchester My cousin @imdominating is completely obsessed. She saw the movie like 14 times & met Edward. Oh, and she’s an adult woman.

---

In case you’re wondering if people actually still read Dilbert, the ones who put together I.T. training course materials do.

---

@Alex_Manchester I’m sure she’ll correct me, probably upwards. I read 3.5 of the books but fully admit they are made of Suck.

---

I’m tempted to go to Chinatown and look for the pot of gold. http://twitpic.com/47b3l

---

@brockleyboyo No way. Just picking up a few skills to add to the BA repertoire… 🙂

---

@jose9 No worries. I didn’t hang around either. I had a pressing appointment with my couch and a loaf of sourdough. 🙂

---

@Ezzles I always think the same thing. And then I never do. 🙁

---

@mrs_sockvictim Haha! Petey still shows no interest in TP. He just thinks anything on a flat surface is a cat toy that belongs on the floor.

---

@imdominating YOU TYPED MY DAMN USERNAME WRONG AGAIN, COUSIN! (Didn’t see the reply til now.) @Alex_Manchester – More than 14. Told ya!

---

@brockleyboyo Just winging it at the moment. We’re a small company. PM and I are making it up as we go, basically.

---

Just completed a 4.34 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/FPOZS #runkeeper

---

Somehow the tweets from @VegasWalkinDude have gone from funny and meta to vaguely scary and meta. I have an overactive imagination.

---

Of course, the day I finally make it to the bus stop at a decent hour is the day everybody in Sydney forgets how to drive in the rain.

---

I touched a monkey. http://tinyurl.com/cojjhg

---

Snook just reported blackout at his office in Circ Quay. Anybody else?

---

@socialbanter He’s in the DFS building on George Street… Are you there too?

---

Well, William Street seems to be fine this time. Damn. #blackouts are fun.

---

@SBSnews East of the city seems to be fine. No power loss on William Street so far.

---

@kunaal84 There are a lot of geek offices in the Rocks! Pretty much ideal conditions for Twitterstorm. #blackout

---

@steven_noble @Alex_Manchester I was wondering that too! I can tell Chippo’s got power though from webcam in my living room. 🙂

---

@wookie_man Damn. No #zombie #blackout fun for our office today!

---

@Alex_Manchester Ours isn’t that spiffy. It’s really just so my Mom can watch me watching TV on the weekend.

---

@amandaemillar Hm. I know geeks who are into pop music and like both of those (including me!). If it’s catchy, I like it.

---

Just joined a twibe. Not 100% sure what the point is. But visit http://twibes.com/sydney to join.

---

@DDsD I was going to say not everybody puts in location, but I’m checking Twibe & so far everybody does. So you may be right.

---

@codepo8 Interesting related post here: http://ascii.textfiles.com/archives/1961. Stuff is being saved, but lots seem purged already. 🙁

---

RT @Alex_Manchester: RT @cafedave: Recipe 4 vegemite cheesecake – good or terrible? http://twurl.nl/xl1k0z <- WIN. I’d totally hit it.

---

@codepo8 Ah, you’re saying they didn’t ask for help. That certainly changes it. Odd that none of the blogs have mentioned that part. 🙁

---

Good grief. Looked at Amazon wishlist for 1st time in years. SO RANDOM. VHS tapes? Bad feminist essay collections? Need a DELETE ALL button.

---

Going to AIMIA project management workshop tomorrow: http://www.aimia.com.au/i-cms?page=4344. Anybody else?

---

@jose9 Cool – be sure to wave hello! I’ll be the giant with the Yank accent.

---

@redambition YES. Why? Surfaces, darling! Surfaces! Beautiful iMac, beautiful KB & mouse w/ NO WIRES marring my desk. It’s all about style.

---

@michaelengle ZOMG. I’ll do it. I can drive if you navigate. If there’s any gross food challenges, it’s all you though.

---

Holy crap! Indiana person with swine flu is Notre Dame student! Should get me out of visit home anytime soon. http://bit.ly/s6q1y

---

On the bus heading to training session in the CBD. I hope it doesn’t suck!

---

@jose9 You here?

---

@Justacogitating To get Sydney time, subtract 10 hours from Indiana time and then add a day. So right now it’s 10am Monday in Sydney.

---

@gemma747 Paging @mrs_sockvictim! I’m hoping she’s better today. We got her home all right in the end…

---

Awesome. Gives “Save Ferris” a whole new meaning: http://ask.metafilter.com/120479/Crimes-committed-by-Ferris-Bueller-during-his-Day-off

---

Ugh. Headache entering its 30th hour. “Never attribute to overindulgence what you can more dramatically attribute to SWINE FLU,” I say.

---

Australians always ask what I miss about America. I usually say the junk food. Fairy bread just can’t compete w/ BACONE. http://bit.ly/GJa7z

---

@DDsD I emailed them offering to bail and give up my ticket; never heard back. You want it? It’s yours.

---

No #smcsyd for me. Going to go home and nurse my continuing (SWINE FLU) headache.

---

Cold night. I decided that the best thing to ward off SWINE FLU was a Big Crumb Coffee Cake. SOOOOO GOOD. http://bit.ly/CygvW

---

Holy crap. Watching TBL finale. Sean looks hot. Did he get his teeth fixed?? I might have to swoon a bit.

---

@leatheregg I didn’t have any fresh rhubarb because Rodd turned it all into jam a few weeks ago. So I used that instead. Very, very good.

---

RT @lotsofco: My take on Swine Flu if it turns into Captain Trips: Eh, I’ve had a good run. <- Mine: See you in Nebraska!

---

Day 3 of headache. What is UP with that? Is it just the cold, dry weather?

---

Uh-oh. Three people out sick today in the office, and others coming down with it. Perhaps my headache is more ominous that I thought.

---

@misswired Where is it? We did vermicomposting at the Water Shed in Newtown.

---

If there is a prize for having the most hangovers at knitting camp, our cabin has won it. Me, I’m good.

---

I finished Rusted Root last night! I frogged it back to put in waist shaping and a rolled edge. Looks pretty cute.. http://twitpic.com/40d22

---

Settled in at home after the knitting retreat. Snookums is making me a gumbo. Hangover is fading by the minute…

---

Oddly looking forward to getting to work and organising my tasks for the week. Productivity nerd! #fb

---

Miss Fee and I decided to be virtuous and go for a run! They certainly feed you good at knitting camp. http://twitpic.com/3xy85

---

@witty_knitter I choose not to race!

---

“It’s Hawaiian, mayte! It’s got the ham AND THE PINEAPPLE, mayte!” http://twitpic.com/3yaw7

---

@witty_knitter Indeed. I was leading the cheering section for Pizza Box, but Coconut Boobs won the Best Dressed contest.
