I am commenting on misrepresented stats in that “Social Media Revolution” video: http://bit.ly/jTx8I. It’s just sloppy.
Got a strange cough yesterday. Now feeling sore throat and sleepy. NOOOOOO! Half marathon in 4.5 weeks!
@gadgetgirl70 WOOOOO! Congratulations!
Not even out of bed yet and I’m sucking strepsils. I’m going to stay home. No knitting for me tonight… 🙁
@bellsknits Heh. Geometry is nice though too. And hey, some light is better than no light! 🙂
My day has been going up and down… up and down…
Just completed a 5.25 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/3susdj #RunKeeper
Great run. GREAT! Too bad #runkeeper won’t post my status updates. (I think it’s Optus’s fault.) Me & the bridge: http://twitpic.com/ebm76
@runkeeper I always have 3G on. I have a feeling that my carrier is just crap right now. Twitter was having problems on iPhone too.
@fictillius Seriously? I’ll take one! Any of them still run?
AH-HA! My new mousepad STINKS. And with that realisation, the Mystery of My Funky Right Hand has been solved. (I was getting worried.)
@fictillius I may take one regardless. We have a bit of a collection going of obsolete technology. 🙂
@crumpet Do you know – I’ve never actually plugged it in. I just like having it. Sits right next to my (dead) original Gameboy. 🙂
BA SPEC WRITING POWERS ACTIVATE!
@carbolicious Lemon curd? That’s way more common Down Here than Up There. Didn’t know you liked it…
@carbolicious Daylight… And I’m wearin’ my GRANDMA VEVA SHIRT! http://twitpic.com/ebu2c
Hitting the sack after freakishly productive 24 hours. I’m pulling like 12hr days (counting outside-work project). It’s like I’m 22 again!
Momentous discovery: my hair is *just* long enough to braid again. You’re all in for it now.
All gone! This is for @mrs_sockvictim, who wanted to see the money shot. http://twitpic.com/e6mqf
My final contributions tally for RSPCA Cupcake Day: $73. Woooo!
I really, really hate websites that don’t let me highlight text as I read. Like Snopes and NYT.
Ugh. Between the bachelorette party on Saturday night and the cupcake adventures of the past 24 hours, I am in major need of a DETOX.
Total Cupcake Day fundraising tally: $130.50! Thanks to Gemma for helping out with the yummies.
Fire trucks and LOW helicopters in the CBD. What is going on?
I’m a bit stressed. Couple big things to finish off this week both in and out of work. Not much time for tweeting…
Disastrous attempt at run. Blister on heel burst & soaked sock/shoe with blood. Ouch. And EWW. Will try again at lunch.
Publicly shamed a stupid cigarette-butt-dropper at Broadway. My day is looking up!
Well, I’m awake. Haven’t officially left bed though.
Just completed a 10.48 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/FqmCd #RunKeeper
@venks79 Thanks! My back is still killing me. I think I have to see the physio again. 🙁
Baking & decorating for Cupcake Day for RSPCA tomorrow. Theme: using beloved children’s characters to raise money for charity.
Subtheme: How to Turn Your Co-Workers Poo Blue for a Week.
C IS FOR CUPCAKE! Halfway done. I’ve eaten like a pound of sugar just from licking frosting off my fingers. http://twitpic.com/e419p
All done. No idea how I’m going to get this giant box to work tomorrow.
Cupcakes are going fast!
On an expedition to cupcake supply store in Camperdown. Wish @carbolicious was here!
@AusVintageGrrl icedaffair.com.au – Church St in Camperdown. Very cool, and they teach classes!
Trying on flynet hats for our Outback trip. http://twitpic.com/dxt8l
@witty_knitter Fiona and I are coming…
Dr. Amy explores the Kitty High-Rise @mrs_sockvictim gave us today! (Petey is still hiding. He dislikes change.) http://twitpic.com/dynsj
Sitting in The Malaya at King St Wharf waiting for Eva’s Hens’ Night to begin…
The restaurant has forbidden us from spreading penis-shaped confetti on the table. Shame.
The guest of honor is here! Dodgy tiara and sash are in place…
Blowing into my pornographic noisemaker… http://twitpic.com/dyy5w
“What are you doing, you geek?” “I’m tweeting my penis.” (Bachelorette parties rule.)
@DDsD LOVE Redoak. I like the Organic Pale Ale.
The Bristol Arms Retro consists solely of Hens Parties and middle-aged guys liking to pull. I kinda love it.
I haven’t danced on a platform in fake smoke for like 9 years. Man, so fun. But what is this CRAP that passes for music nowadays? #fb
I REFUSE to dance to Lady Gaga. REFUSE. #fb
Usher?? Retro?? I’m too old for this shite.
Closed my eyes for 2 seconds to clear fake smoke. Bouncer threatened to boot me for being drunk. Think that’s my cue to leave.
ZOMG. One night clubbing at 32 = deafness. On my way home now.
Just realized earlier penis-tweet doesn’t make sense without picture. (It was Play-doh.) On the bus home now… http://twitpic.com/dz9md
You’re all so right. One night = less than 2 hours? I’m a complete lightweight. (Alas, I am also still deaf.)
@thisismywww I have no idea. We were on ground floor? Started off w/ 80s then changed to 00s crap. Wouldn’t mind going for just 80s/90s.
I’m home from Hens Night before Snook is home from Bucks Night. This means HE WINS. #fb
The theme of the night is cheese.
@mrs_sockvictim SO. CUTE.
Home alone while Snook works late again. MythTV broken. Again. No knitting mojo. Bored out of my skull. Sleep, alcohol, or both?
@venks79 Why didn’t I think of that? Now there’s a party…
@knitabulous I’m at work! Run just didn’t sync up right away, so I had to re-send data from the bus on my way in… 🙂
Wooo! Got some GREAT feedback on a spec I wrote yesterday. Nice feeling.
Huh. Just realised that #runkeeper GPS was slightly off today. Corrected points online. Ended up running bit farther than I thought.
@crumpet There are Americans who agree with you. WTF indeed.
Anyone know why Army helicopter is zooming over Sydney CBD?
RT @imdominating: http://www.feministing.com/archives/017214.html <- Oh FFS. Now I want Snook to take MY name!
For @imdominating and the other RPattz fans: http://bit.ly/iLsE4. Only available for Aussie mobiles though!
@imdominating Check your email in a few minutes. 🙂
RT @venks79: This should explain the army helicopters over Sydney CBD (though the article is a few days old) http://bit.ly/JGwfU
RT @Camee: Damn it people! Leggings do NOT qualify as pants! No one needs to see the exact outline of your lower body! <! SING IT, SISTER.
Rodd: “re: surnames. Maybe we should switch :)” Me: “You mean I’D BE THE SNOOK??” Too weird!
@misswired Considering that it took SEVEN YEARS for him to comment on my blog, don’t hold your breath.
Not feeling like going to knitting tonight…
@steven_noble Just booked for SMC. Perhaps we’ll finally get to meet, neighbour! 🙂
Feeling like I need to zone out a bit. Guitar Hero is in order, I think.
Didn’t end up playing GH after all. Instead put my head down and finished bunch of work on Knitters Guild site. Pretty boring, really.
It is a morning where everyone at the bus stop is wearing TOO MUCH PERFUME. I didn’t realize they even made Exclamation! anymore.
@knitabulous HA! Not bloodly likely. Just allergies and a bit headachey.
I have accepted the reality that we won’t make it back to the States this year…
Confession: I actually love when stupid punk bands speed up non-punk songs. Bonus points for 80’s songs. (Yes, I was closet Lee Harding fan)
First Leoben was creepy. Now he’s CREEPY HOT.
RT @imdominating @therealnph the best of nerd vandalism! http://bit.ly/BbkkF <- PHP + drunk + spraypaint = funny.
@brockleyboyo Yeah, finally making my way through it via DVD. Nearly at end of season 3.
Just completed a 4.00 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/pZmlC #RunKeeper
Slow jog with hill repeats on Wilson St. My lower back – which was fine during C2S – is KILLING me now. 🙁
Snook just got email “confirming” he’d signed petition against US health care reform. Sent website a scathing rebuke. They lie and lie…
Holy crap. How is it 1:00 already?
If you used the St. George ATM on York Street, there was a skimmer attached. @TimBags, 600+ other people were affected. Watch your account!
@randomknits You’re stirring the pot over on Rav today, you stinker! The mods are having a pow-wow…
@DDsD Not quite. We have one. Snook never looks it. I just end up nagging him when we’re supposed to do shit.
Got emailed by a journalist wanting me to comment on graffiti knitting. HA! This is going to be good.
@stufromoz Not sure. It was my friend @TimBags who got skimmed, and he’s where I heard about it…
Rain and storm, oh my! Cats are hiding.
@Bex_the_Femme I’ll send you my reply. You’ll like it.
Knitters: Which hypothetical name for a LYS do you like best? Newtown Stitchery / The Newtown Nook / The Granny Square / Champion on King
@redambition Ahhh, but imagine the merchandising opportunities! T-shirts that say: “I heart COK…” HAHAHAHA! 🙂
Just completed a 4.65 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/PrT52 #RunKeeper
@witty_knitter I don’t know if it would be 100% knitting just yet…
