@Ezzles There’s a new album out, remastered in some special way, I believe.

@eggheadedguy Don’t appreciate the spam.
I have officially added a “Halloween Party” tab to my To Do list. Only 54 days to go…
@bellsknits I also used you TWICE in my “knitternet” preso to Southern group, with screenshots! So may have been some Guild traffic too. 🙂
@bellsknits Not a big deal, really. I showed them Facebook, Twitter, and RSS reader, and your name/blog happened to be visible on all 3!
Holy crap! ROUSes are real! http://bit.ly/19HCaI *shudder* Nightmares.
Storm and lightning have finally arrived in the city. I wondered what you were all on about.
Going out for my 1st run in 3 weeks. Cough is gone; but half-marathon is off the table. Guess it’s time to start again.
Just completed a 4.33 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/f6qpM #RunKeeper
@RTRR No. Doc made me withdraw last weekend. I missed my last 3 long runs; I’d have no chance. 🙁
The air conditioner in the building just shut off… and suddenly it’s eerily quiet. It must run all the time. I’m freaking out a little.
Weeding, digging, hoeing, hauling, hammering, lifting… Three beds in, one to go. Then we’ve got to fill them with soil!

Blog post: Garden Update! http://bit.ly/sjOuq We’re both BEAT, but at least the beds are ready for spring planting…
Southern group Guild meeting was GREAT. Preso was very well received, many thanks from members. Now off to more garden shops!
A hard earned thirst needs a big cold beer. http://twitpic.com/gjm4g (Nag’s Head, Glebe) #fb
Flemington Markets, Kogarah Guild meeting, Gardens R Us, Flower Power, Bunnings, Nag’s Head… home. Tired.
Depressing: people who’ve never been poor arguing that health care system is fine. Even more depressing: ppl who were poor arguing the same.
@bellsknits It may have been tasty, but it sure wasn’t guacamole. BLUE CHEESE? The entire nation of Mexico just had a collective shudder.
It looks like a press conference is happening on the ground floor of our building. Some big Westfield announcement?
Heartened by all the folks supporting health care reform on FB. Maybe it really is just crazy, frothing fringe groups making all the noise?
Mentally preparing myself for a very early trip to Flemington Markets tomorrow to get gardening supplies…
Knitters: I’m about to take a Twitter screenshot for tomorrow’s Guild knitternet preso. Tweet something cool if you want it to show!
Getting up early always feels like an adventure.
Made it to Flemington Markets and back. Now in Kogarah waiting for Guild meeting to start…
Hm. Judging by the reaction of the person who asked me, perhaps being an office fire warden is not quite the exalted honor I thought it was.
FIRE DRILL!
YOU MUST OBEY THE FIRE WARDEN. http://twitpic.com/g9nk2 (I only took the job for the helmet.)
Debating on whether to get tickets to see Nutty Professor with live Q&A with Jerry Lewis: http://bit.ly/PdafY. He’s a legend, really.
The doctor just rang… and I don’t have whooping cough! Yay. (However, my blood showed ZERO immunity to it so I need a booster shot.)
@imdominating Wow. I really couldn’t agree more: http://bit.ly/1s9fwZ

Urban Dictionary thinks I’m awesome. http://bit.ly/1s9fwZ
@Ascasewwen Dammit! And I just emailed Sharre with an idea for where to drag you…
Sometimes I feel very socially awkward and alienated in public. These are times when I worry I spend too much time on the Internet.
For some reason, I think @Opheli8 would really dig a meat tenderizing ring: http://bit.ly/fw5JG.
@carbolicious That’s the kind of thing you need to put in your shop’s window to attract a crowd of drooling children a la Charlie Bucket.
Stopped by Broadway pet store for flea stuff for cats and found staff hand-feeding very ugly hairless baby parrot: http://twitpic.com/g6p3f
Hairless? Featherless. Whatever. IT WAS A BALD BABY DINOSAUR.
@carbolicious How about me? YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL ABOUT BIRDS. I had to pay for my stuff with that thing 2 feet away, dripping goop all over.
@imdominating I bet it’s that one where you’re all in overalls and they’re awkward teens and you look like Shirley Temple. 🙂 @carbolicious
RT @QueenBeeInc: The Fall/Winter line is up, and if we do say so ourselves : it’s purdy…. http://bit.ly/EbC9M <- WANT. Rita shall be mine!
@QueenBeeInc Love the new line! Question though: my beloved Truckette looks a bit dirty. Best way to clean vinyl without taking off colour?
@ScottRhodie In my experience: send out press releases to businesses and bloggers that are only tangentially related to the topic at hand.
@ScottRhodie PR folks called shop often to get knitters for media events. Always last minute, demanding, no respect for our time, etc.
@ScottRhodie I know… Just got burned one too many times!
@eileenDCoE You reminded me I need to give my plumber some love. BLOG LOVE!
@rhagern I just started a few months ago. Just finished Season 3. I love it! (The podcast commentaries by Ron Moore are great too.)
@QueenBeeInc How did I miss that? Thanks so much for the link… Just what I needed.
@ScottRhodie It’s just like Mad Men, isn’t it? 🙂
Looking for a plumber in Sydney? Go with Thomson Plumbing. I blogged our experience with them: http://bit.ly/9ohPT
Despite the arguments of @chrisgander & @jpalmer81, I remain unconvinced as to the cinematic merit of Rutger “Blind Fury” Hauer’s career.
@rhagern Plus she has pretty, pretty hair. I spent most of the first season being obsessed with Grace Park’s pretty Cylon hair.
Given that I may or may not have whooping cough, I probably shouldn’t go to #SMCSYD tonight. Anybody want my ticket?
Literary Euphemisms for… you know. http://bit.ly/3owSA I have to say, “Touring Rosings with Mr. Collins” made me laugh and laugh.
Blood drawn to test for whoopage. Now rushing to Broadway to pick up my new specs. Head hurts.
I got new glasses. They look a lot like my old glasses. But these ones are brown and not black. http://bit.ly/1buB0O
@steven_noble Sorry I missed it! But trust me, me hacking up a lung during your talk would’ve been distracting.
@CleaSan It might be Australian/British? This USian has never heard of it.
@gilmae Oooh, thanks for the link! I’m in the draw. 🙂
@knitabulous Thanks, a bit better. Fever is down. Going to the doctor shortly…
Doctor wants to test for whooping cough. I have to pull out of the race. If you’ve seen me in the past week and you feel sick, get checked!
@devvyleys Yikes! Glad you made it. Will be emailing you shortly… 🙂
The Snook has ruined me for milk chocolate. RUINED.
I built another very quick-and-dirty website on the weekend: http://www.morrisyarns.com/
Should’ve mentioned that @devvyleys gets full credit for designing the morrisyarns.com site. 🙂
@DianneKing I like the swirly bits. Unconventional for yarn store but pretty, yes!
Faxed my withdrawal form for the Half-Marathon. My first DNS. That sucks.
