Whoa! Message from @AusVintageGrrl. Customs House evacuated for fire alarm. Not sure what that will do to the scheduled knitting workshop!

Going to the boxing gym. Not surprisingly, I am REALLY looking forward to punching some stuff.

Chicken Kiev, garlic beans, and sauteed parsnip and carrot with honey and rosemary glaze. Bow before my domestic goddess-ness!

@redambition @bellsg I blogged the carrots and parsnip recipe. Very recommended!

Now it’s time for tea, knitting, & Battlestar Galactica. Only thing marring this peaceful scene is the truly disturbing object I’m knitting.

@Ezzles Google “Bokaclava” or look it up on Rav. And don’t say I didn’t warn you!

@Ezzles And no, I’m not putting it on an effing tree. 🙂

@mirvettium Nah, balaclava in the style of a demon from Dr. Who. Google “bokaclava”. 🙂

Okay, but it’s not my fault none of you will be able to sleep tonight. Behold… Bokaclava: http://bit.ly/Q8VAt

That’s the designer’s. Mine is in navy. Just sewing it up now. Still need to make nose, mouth, & horns…. http://bit.ly/1buB0O

@Ezzles It was an Extreme Knitting Challenge by a guy at work. In exchange he’s going to design my Halloween invite this year. 🙂

Front and back of demon head have been sewn together. Did I mention this thing will be on the slopes of Perisher this weekend?

So sore from punching yesterday. (I needed it though.) Now let’s see if I can actually manage a run…

Just completed a 4.37 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/18jyyu #RunKeeper

This is so weird. They’ve knocked down a couple walls in the office, and now there’s all this SPACE in my peripheral vision.

Any of you use Evernote? I’m trying it out to see if it can tame the beast that is my scribbly work notebook. Tips appreciated.

Always fun to find people tweeting mean things about you, as opposed to talking/emailing like human beings. 🙁 @bendbeanies @deadlyknitshade

In positive news, I’ve invited AU knit graffiti artist to SnB Thurs. She seems really cool & promises lots of info/gossip from NGA exhibit.

@Ascasewwen Ahh, but did you steal it? Of course not. You’re not a sociopath.

@codepo8 See, “punny baby t-shirts” & “something to blog about” are far too high on my list of Reasons to Have a Baby. Hence, no baby. 🙂

Old guard of the Guild think I’m hell-bent on destroying it from within, while the “punk” knitters think I’m a stuffy Grandma! Too funny.

Thinking srsly about starting guerilla scrapbooking movement. Will involve public use of hole punches. I DON’T EVEN CARE IF I GET ARRESTED!

Left work an hour early for Dr appt, only to find he’s running an hour behind. On the plus side, might as well kill time with a massage!

Hmm. Graffiti Macramé? My wonky owl-shaped plant holders will speak of urban decay, Western decadence, & shocking lack of fringe in society.

@crumpet I knew you’d like the owl reference! My grandma had one like that, and it was awesome. 🙂

I got antibiotics for bronchitis. And my massage? SHE WALKED ON MY BACK. That was new.

@mrs_sockvictim Whatever gives us the best chance of a book deal and/or talk show appearance!

@deadlyknitshade Thank you. I did think the phone booth showed a lot of work and creativity!

@venks79 Um… even with your newly skinny self, I’ll still go with the 40kg tiny woman, thanks! 🙂

@witty_knitter I actually used that at the Dr tonight: “See, I caught this cold 2 wks ago that has devastated the Syd knitting community..”

@mrs_sockvictim Ok, you have to make that for Halloween. Except evil. SO AWESOME.

Guerilla Latchhook: turning the world into one giant shag rug, one bus stop at a time. (I can’t stop! Actually, I really like this one. Hm.)

@redambition Dr. Chin knows not to bat an eye at my eccentricities these days. I really need to knit him some socks.

@Justacogitating You should find them and start wrapping them around stop signs. You can be the second subversive in my movement!

@crumpet Me too! I think they must have some automated bots. Must be very quiet now. (DON’T MENTION THE HOLE PUNCHES!)

Very happy to say that Dr Chin was thrilled with my weight loss (and inches lost around waist). No charts or lectures this time!

@knitterjp Day 3 was the worst of it for me. (You should skip the knitting workshop and rest! They’ll survive.)

I sold yarn to Kim and Kelley Deal last year at the craft shop I worked in. (Oh wait. That was actually really cool!) #lameclaimstofame

@redambition Huh. When I went to Myer for a makeover, I looked like I’d been hit by Homer’s makeup gun (set to “whore”).

They killed my herbs; they knocked down my sign; and today some bastards stole my whole effing tree. LIVID WITH RAGE. http://bit.ly/M0w5G

Anti-social tree-stealing degenerates… Went to tell Michael, local sustainability guy. His response: “Fuck ’em. We’ll plant another.”

@bellsg Seems to be up now!

Oh man. England are gonna win.

@Ascasewwen @Camee Especially public gardens. It’s not like they stole from me; they ruined it for the whole neighbourhood. 🙁

Just completed a 5.69 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/DCJcg #runkeeper

@knitterjp You held out longer than most! Take it easy this week…

City2Surf banners up in the city. Only three weeks to go…

Heading out the door to #mefi10sydney. Beautiful day!

Not sure if any of the other #mefi10 folks in Sydney are tweeters. Will find out soon enough!

Rocks traffic = insane. Stupid Coffee Festival! Still trying to get to #mefi10 Sydney.

Sydney #mefi10 has started! Beautiful and sunny and warm. http://twitpic.com/aujyh

On the way home from Sydney #mefi10. Congrats to #mathowie for creating the best web community, and thanks for all the beers!

@mrs_sockvictim Yowch! One of the boys?

@knitthecity Cheers, guys. Looking forward to hearing the other side!

My knitting pattern is disturbing me.

I always cry when they bring in the families after the victory. #masterchef

@StoneRosey Ha, no, not pissed. More like had to get it out there before 1 more person asked if my lovely scarf was going to hang on a tree.

Such a weird day. Went to HP6 in the morning, then crashed and slept on the couch ALL DAY. This virus refuses to leave.

@venks79 Wow, great job! Outdoors or treadmill? Be sure to practice some hills… 🙂

@gadgetgirl70 ?? I thought he was feeling better!

WTF? Just got email about “The Baby Show,” a big baby expo coming to Sydney. WHICH ONE OF YOU JOKESTERS PUT ME ON THIS LIST?

Lazyweb request: I’m trying to layout a moderation “dashboard” for a community site. Any good examples I should know about?

Tech team are streaming out of their area. Reports of a bad, bad smell. So far this side of the office seems to be safe…

@ironbrandon We’ve already done Buffy & Spike, Mr Darcy & Miss Bennet, Chef Sakai & Chairman Kaga, the Mythbusters, Charlie Brown & Lucy…

Sitting in Churrasco waiting for Snook so we can commence with the all-you-can-eat MEAT. Rowr!

So. Full. http://twitpic.com/ampnf

Just ran in to @Roceal on the bus from the city!

@wookie_man http://www.churrasco.com.au – $35 all you can eat meat. SOOOO GOOD.

@shanea Ha! Agreed. This 32yo took a pass on it tonight. 🙂

@stufromoz We went to the one on William Street in East Sydney. It’s only a block or two from my office. Big temptation!

Waiting for Snook at 9.30am showing of HP6. We figured this one would have lowest percentage of anklebiters.

The Anti-Knitting-Graffiti Manifesto: http://bit.ly/3Y2rhe

@falkonfly To me, “stunt knitting” like this doesn’t really do much to advance the craft. It’s like Feathers scarves. Got lots of folks back

@falkonfly into knitting but most stopped when the next fad came around. I don’t need people to think of my knitting as cool!

This is so weird. Whenever I wear these cords, my belt tries to migrate 90-degrees to the right. Why does that happen?!

The sky is this incredible shade of orange. Alas, iPhone can’t capture the colour just right and I’m too lazy to Photoshop.

@bruceyeah I have it still after the update. I enabled it by buying the FrostyPlace News reader app.

@bruceyeah Crap. It used to be! That’s how I got it in the first place. 🙁

I’m off to M&S for knitting… but without actual knitting. Instead I’ll be weaving in ends on @scrubbles’s new scarf!

@Ezzles awww, I wanted to hear about the movie!

RT @knitness: Pilot episode of The Knitting Ness Video Blog is finally up! http://bit.ly/McEh5 – LOVE IT. So cute and well done, Ness!

Oh man! Another brilliant Halloween couple’s costume idea thwarted by Snook’s different cultural upbringing: Goofus and Gallant. #fb

Just completed a 4.22 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/rWCL9 #runkeeper

Saw 480 bus stop 50m away (as usual) & SPRINTED to catch it. Snook then called to tell me it only goes to Town Hall. 480 driver wins again.

@runkeeper I sent in a glowing report. 🙂

@devvyleys Devvy, you are so inspiring me to get back out there after being sick! Keep it up… 🙂

Guild website is back… kind of.

@runkeeper No worries! I’m “Kris in Sydney”, comment #3. Consider me your RunKeeper evangelist Down Under. 🙂

Looks like a good day for a run, folks…

Look. Stupid knit graffiti at Mrs Macquarie’s Point. http://twitpic.com/aehhm

Knitters: Albie from M&S asked which knitting bags (if any) are popular. I told him I want The Swift. (http://bit.ly/13tnul) Anything else?

A-ha! Knitting Utegate mystery has been solved. The mystery email purported to be from me was from someone else entirely!

@Timmay83 And I’ll probably still be coughing from this cold. Barry and the Apples will definitely be bringing up the rear of the team comp!

@witty_knitter HAHAHAHA… It was you! Check your email. 🙂

@witty_knitter Sent. Enjoy the insanity. 🙂

Three meetings in a row… Let’s do it.

Hm. Someone I was in contact with 10 days ago has been diagnosed with swine flu. I caught my “cold” 48 hours after I saw him. o_O

Darn. Swine Flu Victim only got sick in the last two days, so no chance we caught it from him.

On top of everything, frickin’ Guild (Joomla) site got hacked today. So that’ll be fun to fix.

It wasn’t a targetted hack; just some script from China taking advantage of site vulnerabilities. Pain in my bum, really.

@sharre Fell into it. Snook & I were like we are now from the start. Moved in together after 3 months. It helps that we are THE SAME PERSON.

The Knitters Guild got a plus in this month’s TimeOut Sydney: http://twitpic.com/a6yv2

@witty_knitter It seems to be smacking me around with Round 2.

Whoa! Just discovered that Avenue Q is coming to Sydney! Finally a musical I think the Snook will be happy to see…

Dammit! I haven’t gotten tickets yet! Shouldn’t have told you guys; it’ll sell out! 🙂

Casey has enabled group chats on Ravelry. Party over at Australian Knitters! http://www.ravelry.com/chats/603

@knitterjp Huh. I got in right away! Are you on PC or phone?

@knitterjp It’s weird, because I see you listed as being in the chat.

@knitterjp Tia wants to know if your Java is up to date!

Snookums force-fed me paracetamol. Feeling much better now.

@randomknits I blame myself and the Ravelry chat room for at least part of that.

Just completed a 4.31 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/13wTKZ #runkeeper

First run in over a week. There were some… snot issues… but mostly I felt pretty good. Mentally I feel a zillion times better.
