After feeling fuzzy-headed and crap all week, suddenly I’m firing on all cyclinders. Good thing too – today has been manic at work.


My grandpa just forwarded me a picture of an albino peacock “as proof of God’s beauty.” He means well.


Internet – please tell my sister that carbolicio.us is an AWESOME domain name for her bakery.


@nametrader True. She tried to get it but somebody’s squatting. Given that it’s part of her surname, I’m hoping she’ll get it eventually.


@nametrader Carbo, believe it or not. She’s been emailing back and forth with them. She’s made an offer; waiting to hear back.


Finished all my actual work for the day, then spent an hour doing my other job for the Guild. And my shoulders are aching from coughing. 🙁


@Alacaeriel Did you turn off the wifi? If you walk through a lot of wireless areas in the city, that can disrupt the GPS I’ve found.


I got a hell of a stew goin’ on.


Another day, another Guild brouhaha. My website report for the Exec was CENSORED to replace the word “Ravelry” with “the internet”.


@Ezzles I can’t believe you actually did it! The world needs photos…


@bellsg Totally agree. I am obsessed with Joan’s look and am seriously thinking of dyeing my hair red and buying a girdle.


@knitterjp @mrs_sockvictim FRITTERS? MUFFINS? CUPCAKES? What part of “low carb” do you guys not understand? YOU’RE KILLIN ME HERE! 🙂


@bellsg We’ve only just watched the first season. So I’ve still got more to go!

You’re supposed to “feed a cold”, right? RIGHT?


Still a Mucus Monster. Thanks for all the sickness tips…


Well, nose and eyes are still running but I feel marginally more lucid than yesterday, so the plan is to try to go to work.


Three days? You guys are decadent! I felt guilty enough having one day off. 🙂

Wow. When you eat breakfast at 5am, by 10am you’re starving.


@ironbrandon Dammit! I’m like 10 episodes behind so I don’t feel like I can offer any valid comments til I catch up again… 🙂


@Ascasewwen It’s okay! I’m hoping to put the footage up on the blog tonight or tomorrow. 🙂


Ahhhh! Just watched the footage. Kochie and Mel said I was a “demon”, as in SPEED DEMON! Although, yeah, I’m a diva too.


Did anybody else just get movie ticket SMS spam from Optus?


Just realised I’ve actually knitted on Sunrise before! @mrs_sockvictim and I were on there 3 years ago: http://bit.ly/14dy3K


@sharre In my defense, I was a very early adopter of Crocs and that was before they became ubiquitous. Now? No freakin’ way. 🙂


It’s been 24hrs since my first throat tickle. And I’ve now got full-blown cold. THIS SUCKS.


Sitting up in bed, eating soup (that I can’t taste) provided by Snook, who is playing nursemaid. My nose is so raw already.


Sudden realisation: WTF do people with kids do when they (parents) get sick? I couldn’t cope. I get helpless and angry when I’m sick.


I am become Snot Monster, Destroyer of Worlds. Have cancelled work, cleaners, everything. Huddled in bed with streaming eyes and nose.

@redambition It’s freaking cold. I swear they run the air conditioner every other day.


Don’t forget to turn on Sunrise tomorrow morning to see the knitters out at Customs House. I’m supposed to be interviewed!


The flag of equal marriage: http://makeitequal.org. Hell yeah.


Arrived home aching and sweaty after a punishing boxing session… to find a cold empty house and no dinner. Snook is stuck at work. 🙁


@AusVintageGrrl It’s yours! Tell Daniel to meet me halfway (probably in the park) and I’ll give it to him one of these days. 🙂


@acatinatree About time. Send back the Snook; I’m freezin’.


Trying to get some sleep before VERY early wakeup tomorrow for my TV appearance. My throat is suddenly sore. Does not bode well…


@AusVintageGrrl No worries. I haven’t felt any big compulsion to play it. Better it goes to someone who’ll appreciate it!


It’s 4:50am and I am up and dressed. Set your PVRs to Channel 7 Sunrise, folks. (In other news, I have a sore throat. Shit.)


Well, I’ve been in a couple shots but I fear my interview is getting bumped. Can’t compete with novelty of twins and male knitters!


We’re only on every half hour as “FiFi” reads the weather report. I got up at 4.30 for this?? One day I’ll learn.


@sharre They were both on! Fi asked them how long they’d been knitting. Pretty inane stuff.


@discoknitter Huh? Diva? Moi?! 🙂


All done, heading to work. TV trivia: FiFi does her own hair and makeup!


Hilarious. Got in to work just now, and guy behind me went: “Oh, hey, they were talking about knitting on Sunrise today.” Me: “I WAS THERE.”

Taught 2nd installment of sock workshop today. It was great! Students are doing so well. Makes me regret not pursuing teaching a little bit.


Ron Weasley has swine flu? NOOOOOOOOO.


In addition to the 9yo, we also had a sleeping newborn at the knitting class. Both were very well-behaved. I didn’t mind.


@redambition I have 46. QA person worked on the weekend and closed a lot of bugs, all of which alerted me. *sigh*

I love it when a plan comes together! On the bus to @mrs_sockvictim’s birthday bash. Much fun awaits…


Dr. Amy has been sick a few times tonight. Which, yeah, cats puke. But she hasn’t in years. Should we be worried? Do anything special?


Poor thing. Trying to get her to rest. http://twitpic.com/9913z


Amy seems to be feeling better. She had a nap. She’s awake & grooming now. Snookums poked her belly and she was fine. Will keep watching.


Just completed a 7.31 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/hv9Fg #runkeeper

Wow. Busy Friday so far. One meeting down, three to go…


@wookie_man Weirdness. I’ve only ever had to do a hard reboot once in six months. What apps are doing it??


The Knitting Media Juggernaut is in effect. Now the SMH want a piece of our action! Inner City Group are truly the rockstars of the Guild.


@witty_knitter SMH Spectrum going to promote our knitting workshops. 🙂


Huh. When you haven’t had beer for 2 weeks, a couple schooners really hits hard. Wheeee!


@redambition Uh oh. Sorry. It’s all porn, all the way down.


Anticipating slipping between the bedcovers with a hot… water bottle. OH YEAH, IT’S FREEZING.


I’m waiting to hear news of how the Snook’s big audition went tonight. He tried out for a new World of Warcraft raiding guild. *facepalm*


@j_wren Wow, that’s some pretty aggressive keyword filtering! Maybe I need a boring work-safe URL to point at it… 🙂


@Diepdin Please tell me we shall see you and Clare on an upcoming episode of Grand Designs! 🙂


I need to get going and run some errands… but I have a warm cat on my lap and she feels so nice. https://web-goddess.org/img/deskcam.jpg

Ahhh, the true worth of iPhone 3GS. It allows me to edit & upload boring videos of my cats on the way to work! http://bit.ly/Y7Oaz


@runkeeper Just posted a review of the new interval feature: http://bit.ly/chDIs
. LOVE IT!


Any knitters want to be on TV? Sunrise have contacted about shooting a knitting event EARLY Tues morning. Let me know if you want details.


@Bex_the_Femme I know, I know! Why the media in Sydney are incapable of planning anything more than a week in advance is beyond me.


5.30am-8.30am on Tuesday at Customs House. DM me your email if you want more info. Coffee and muffins provided! 🙂


@Timmay83 Actually I think they want some “beginners” who are being taught, so if you want to be knitting dumbass, sure! 🙂


@AusVintageGrrl I’m still using Tweetdeck. It crashes every now and then, but I like that it syncs columns to my desktop version.


Was just telling Mom how FREEZING it is in Sydney today, when I looked up the temp conversion. 12C = 53F. She laughed at me. I’m a wuss now.


@wookie_man Meanwhile I watched a 461 AND 480 pull away while I was sprinting to them FROM THE ACTUAL BUS STOP.

@misswired Harris Farms at Broadway, surely. I’m also pretty sure I’ve seen non-fancy paneer at Coles.


New @runkeeper release looks AWESOME. Custom time/distance interval workouts? Nike+ can’t do that! LOVE IT, and can’t wait for next run.


@clesan700 Yep, only iPhone. Someone has to be working on something similar though… Do you have an app store? (No idea how bberries work.)


@Timmay83 Just wait til you start actually shaking your fist at bus drivers and reporting them to their bosses. Me = grumpy old woman.


@henrytapia You gotcher Andys mixed up. Lleyton’s playing Roddick, who coincidentally looks EXACTLY like my brother. So I like him.


Anybody doing the Tour de France knitalong? Is there an official site or Rav group for it? I have a ton of WIPs and need motivation.


Just completed a 4.89 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/omIgG #runkeeper


Tried new @runkeeper interval workout today. Flawless! Immediate impact: keeps me honest with warmup and cooldown, which I need.


@sharre Nah. But I don’t sync very often, so possible I just haven’t noticed yet.


@devvyleys Congrats Devvy! Well done. Waist is the hardest place to shift it…
