I have officially knitted 328 rows of St. Brigid, watched 1.5 seasons of Buffy, and eaten most of a Mangomisu. Great weekend off…


@VenessaHunt @Opheli8 Are you mocking my hermit-like old-lady existence? But it’s fun! 😛


@Opheli8 @VenessaHunt No no, GUG’s why I DRINK. Knitting just fills the hours until alcohol is socially acceptable.


Back to work after a looong holiday weekend. What’s that, USA? You guys had to work Monday? Sucks to be you! (Yay, Boxing Day!)


@imdominating That tweet made my soul laugh before it was even out of bed.


@MrMikeLawson DEAR GOD. It looks like it’ll come alive at night and kill you in your sleep.


The office is quiet… except for the pumping bass coming from the tech team side. My corner is Deadsville.


@VenessaHunt You’re worrying me. Am I going to end up writing a spec for this site?


@VenessaHunt PHEW!

Trying to call family for Christmas. Just rang both numbers I had for my Grandpa and got completely random strangers. Bah humbug.


@venks79 Nice one! Although those GPS points look a little suss… 🙂


Just completed a 5.13 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/8lgRWJ #RunKeeper


I ran in the rain. I got wet.


Wow. The raspberry sauce just took the Mangomisu up to ELEVEN. If you make it, don’t forget the sauce.


Wanted to go see Psycho at the Opera House, but good grief. Ticket prices are nuts. $90 for the cheap seats! http://bit.ly/4Ye58S


We put the bread machine on a timer last night. Best way to wake up EVER.

MANGOMISU! http://twitpic.com/v47ht


@traceyh It looked good, and it tasted okay, but it wasn’t quite the mango-gasm we were expecting. Lacked a little oomph.


@traceyh ARGH! I just realized – WE FORGOT THE RASPBERRY SAUCE. There’s the oomph. DURRRR. Will make it tomorrow. 🙂


@traceyh Rodd’s trick is to dip them very lightly. He says otherwise they fall apart too easily.

@knitterjp Well, I’m starting the front so it’s relatively small now. If it were a big piece, I couldn’t do it.


Hey Twitter, can I substitute Triple Sec for Grand Marnier in a recipe? My MANGOMISU DEPENDS ON IT.


@tinkabel It’s on the cover of this month’s Delicious: http://bit.ly/7npOMn 🙂


I am headed into the abyss. (Man, I hate Coles.)


Coles is insane. The only things preventing a riot are those giant air conditioning units. http://twitpic.com/uwkdm

Christmas Eve fireworks? Sydney has a lot of fireworks.


Still waking up. You early risers are cah-RAZY.


Family: Skype is on if you want to get in touch! I am now going to commence knitting and TV, and I don’t plan on moving for hours.

RT @VenessaHunt: Check out new promo… www.samsungmobile.com.au – to schedule your New Years Msg’s for free…


Tried several times to check in at Crossroads Bar, Swissotel Sydney. @foursquare fail?!


@glittertrash I noticed that last weekend! I wasn’t sure if it was chard or beetroot, but yeah, definitely edible.


GAH. I did it again! I did short rows on St. Brigid shoulder, forgot that it has saddles, thus no 3-needle bindoff. (Did same on Na Craga.)


Phew. Back of St. Brigid is successfully casted off. Now to start the front. (5 days off; how much can I get done? Place bets now!)

@redambition Cute! Loving that fringe. 🙂


HOLY CRAP. Do Huntsmen spiders make webs? Because there is a hairy spider the size of a golf ball in my garden in a humongous web.


Crap. Huntsmans don’t make webs. WHAT IS IT?


RT @redambition: @web_goddess Sounds like a Garden Orb Weaver. http://bit.ly/8EKcbf // I think that’s it. PHEW! Thanks…


@redambition Yeah, and this one’s built his web at head height right outside the backdoor. I nearly walked into him face first!


I blogged the GIANT SPIDER. I’m calling her Shelob. http://bit.ly/5RdcIP


@alyshajane Hm. If she’s eating wasps, she’s welcome to stay!


This morning the spider web is gone. I hope a bird didn’t eat Shelob.

@carbolicious Did you see him on 30 Rock? LOVE.


Hall & Oates sing “Jingle Bell Rock”. http://bit.ly/6cMped (This one’s for @carbolicious.)


@twelveeyes Oh man! The Tramcar is a dream of mine. We need a review afterwards…


@ozgamer Dude, does ‘New Toy Syndrome’ last for 2.5 years? Because that’s a long time for a gadget.


@DianneKing They’re uncommon here but not unknown. In fact, I got some in a gift swap two weeks ago from an Aussie!


Re-redding the hair. I sit in a funk of ammonia and hair dye.

Hey Twitter. If you have a cleaner, do you tip them for Christmas? And how much? (We want to know if we’re cheapskates.)


@toastman W00t. Hahahaha… Okay, so I feel better now. Especially considering we have the SAME CLEANER.


@VenessaHunt See, my red hair makes me look much more interesting than I actually am. Opposite of your classy bob! 😛


Cleaner responses ranged from nothing to two weeks full pay + gift! Feeling better about my $20 and homemade cookies. Thanks everybody…


@bellsknits I got a thank you plus an SMS later saying how much her son was enjoying the cookies. Very sweet! Love our cleaner.


@VenessaHunt More like a bob CAN be boring, if the wearer needs camoflage. The red is harder to disguise.

Okay, all 178 rows of St. Brigid back are complete. As I’m still 10+cm short… yeah. Doing another repeat.


After five long years… we have wedding rings! And they’re the geekiest rings ever. 🙂 http://bit.ly/7tkxjL


Baking Christmas snickerdoodles. Yum.


@imdominating Nah, sorry, I know shit all about WordPress…

@redambition I saw those at Glebe Markets last weekend! Very cute, if I didn’t already have a zillion eco bags.

@venks79 It was a great year. Best job with the best folks! Thanks again for giving me the chance… 🙂


Heading to SSK… if a Newtown bus ever turns up.


Neat! Just spotted an anti-Scientology Anonymous protest marching up Broadway towards Glebe.


I just unlocked the “Crunked” badge on @foursquare! http://4sq.com/4uje2T


We bought saltbush “lamb ham” (smoked cured lamb shoulder) at the markets today. It’s awesome. Plus LAMB HAM is fun to say. LAMB HAM.

Looks like @runkeeper’s auto-tweets are backed up again. Runs out of sequence are messing up my @twunlog. (I didn’t run at 6am, btw.)


@bellsknits Nah, that one’s from Thursday. I did do just shy of 6km last night, and I’m scheduled for 8km today!


@bellsknits I should also mention that @gusseting headed out for a run before I actually got out of bed this morning. So she wins!


Gingerbread girl from Sweetness the Patisserie. Yay! http://twitpic.com/u8ou5
