@bellsknits WTF. Am I now a target for guerilla knitter terrorist cells? 😛
Bought great new shoes tonight… but now I think I need the next size up. Darn. Exchange time.
Lack of Flash on iPhone is starting to feel like a feature not a bug. I installed Flashblock on Firefox recently and it IMPROVED MY LIFE.
@that_alison Me, I elicited some stakeholder requirements, refined the roadmap, and descoped some non-essential functionality. WE SUCK.
@AusVintageGrrl It’s good, isn’t it?! Are you a pro user?
@bellsknits Suddenly the gift we left you feels a little unoriginal! 🙂
Seen in bargain bin at Broadway: http://twitpic.com/1dsoei. Thought they were Oreos then did a double-take. RECREOS?! *shudder*
@bellsknits We had it recommended by a sommelier at a fancy place years ago, and Rodd always remembered it. We’re saving ours too!
Rude person on bus won’t scoot over. So I am deliberately NOT moving into empty seat. Passive-aggressive war!
@stufromoz On the plus side, righteous indignation makes for good gaming. I just set a Bejeweled Blitz high score. 🙂
@cuddlycutie4uC Did you post this to the wrong person? I have no idea what you’re talking about. Recipe? Food?
@VenessaHunt Ooh, pretty!
Ugh. 6:15pm and pitch black outside. I think my Seasonal Affective Disorder just kicked in.
Watching the earwax-candle episode of Mythbusters and both of us are, like, totally gagging. EWWWWWWW. AGH, AND A CUPCAKE?!
@imdominating Yeah, Grant too, but I see enough of my friends kissin’ their asses with @ replies I didn’t bother. 🙂
It’s getting to the point where I want to buy an iPad just to piss off the haters who take its very existence as a personal affront.
@imdominating He already commented on it when it originally got posted on Metafilter. Said he always wanted to see himself as a woman!
If you play WordsWithFriends, please add “The Snook”. He keeps beating ne so I need to divide his attention.
@sharre I’m pretty much the same. I’m just annoyed at people who sneer at the idea that someone might genuinely like something they don’t.
@squozen @brodrigu Be careful. He favours obscure Greek words and triple-letter plays. He got a 75+ pointer on me this morning.
@venks79 Way to go! Congrats. How did you feel?
@bellsknits You will find your stash slightly enhanced, my dear! 😉
Canberra has 335K people, yet somehow I still randomly bumped into two people I know. It’s kind of a weird place.
Travelog with photos from this weekend’s trip to Canberra with Snook and @eileenDCoE : https://web-goddess.org/archive.php/postID/9028
@knitterjp Looks great! The matching BSJ is coming along nicely too. 🙂
Why is the bus taking longer than normal? Shouldn’t there be less traffic now that the ankle-biters are on holiday?
Happy Easter! Great run this morning with @eileenDCoE. Now heading off to Bus Depot Markets, Space Tracking Station, & Tidbinbilla Nat Park.
A much deserved beer. (@ The Wig and Pen) http://4sq.com/8qLx3I
Me and the largest deep space communications dish in the Southern Hemisphere: http://twitpic.com/1d4hes. (NERD ALERT!)
@dancingman Nah. We just went to the visitor center and looked at the moon rock.
My dream at last has come true. Finally: The Pancake Palace! (@ The Pancake Parlour) http://4sq.com/5IZzHq
@randomknits The Q is looking pretty wicked! We are doing other stuff instead. Maybe see you later!
Lunch at Questacon. Screaming kids everywhere!
Inside the kaleidoscope at Questacon: http://twitpic.com/1csc4c
Finally at @NatGalleryAus, and it looks like we’re going to walk right in!
@redambition Petulant, whiny, and a little bit OCD? Yep, that’s him all right. 🙂
Today we visited Nat’l Library, Portrait Gallery, Questacon, Parliament House, and French Masters Exhibition at Nat’l Gallery. I AM SO BEAT.
@zedsains Ah, it’s restricted by IP address to the office. Maybe @venks79 can help?
Having lunch at a lookout over Mittagong. Left @redambition at our place; halfway to @bellsknits’s place! http://twitpic.com/1citsi
@randomknits Hey, we’re going tomorrow too! What time you guys getting in the queue?
@randomknits Look for us there. We’re aiming for closer to 8 and we’re bringing chairs. 🙂
BIG MERINO! http://twitpic.com/1cjtiv
@bellsknits We just pulled in! Fee is on her way.
@NatGalleryAus So for tomorrow, we’re better off going later in the day? That would be nice!
Hm. @NatGalleryAus says current Q is 40min, & open til 9pm all weekend. Perhaps best NOT to Q up 1st thing tomorrow!!
@randomknits @Kat13v Theyre open til 9 this weekend! Q looks shorter later in day, so we may pass on morning lineup.
Looking towards Parliament House on the shores of Lake Burley-Griffin at sunset. http://twitpic.com/1cki54
Cozy & slight pissed in Canberra. Earlier tonight sunset on Lake Burley Griffin looking towards Parliament House: http://twitpic.com/1clne1
Going to bed, and I miss the stupid cats. Give ’em a cuddle, @redambition. 🙂
4am. Awake. Very comfy bed but I cannot sleep.
Omid smiles as he destroys my spec. http://twitpic.com/1cac0s
@gusseting Hurry up your moseying! The adoring public awaits your arrival. 🙂
Happy 10th anniversary to the Snook. Getting to spend a decade with your best friend is a wonderful thing. http://twitpic.com/1ccj6a
Snookums is playing with his new espresso machine. Very strange and scary sounds are coming from the kitchen…
http://twitpic.com/1c4q0h – Beautiful pink and blue sunset over Sydney tonight. Autumn is in the air. #TiltShiftGen
@grabyourfork Thanks for that. Now I am obsessed with the idea of having four ovens. FOUR OVENS!
@gusseting Hm. I really like Teva’s designs. It may be enough to finally get me aboard the lace train!
Like @witty_knitter, I’m looking forward to the Easter Show Arts Preview tonight. Trying hard not to get my hopes up. 🙂 #RASartspreview
@danivv Thanks for that! Hadn’t heard of her. I’ve actually had this pattern queued for years: http://bit.ly/d7SDfg. Even bought the chair!
Wow, it’s not often I get smirked at as a female geek and a knitter in the space of the same 5 minutes. Bah.
Not to be crude, but I can’t be the only one that sees, uh, other things in some of these polymer beads, right? http://bit.ly/bqKLHs
Knitters: please feel free to spoil me for #RASartspreview. I need to be prepared. (Probably won’t get there til after 7.)
@mrs_sockvictim Woohoo! Congrats and well done. 🙂
Still on the train. No word from #RASartspreview. Appears I am destined to remain unappreciated in my own time.
The pudding’s expression mimics my own. No prizes for me this year. http://twitpic.com/1bx7ky
@Ascasewwen A goddamn clown. And second place was Mrs Claus. *puke*
If you can’t win a ribbon, you can still toast the naked marquetry. http://twitpic.com/1bxinj
I think @miss_reecie and @mrs_sockvictim tied for “Worst Item Display”, sadly enough.
Have just done a massive Rav post with photos of stuff from @randomknits @mrs_sockvictim @Roceal @frillseekerjen @Kat13v etc…
And here is the excellent group photo of 23 Ravelers, courtesy of Mr. Snook: http://bit.ly/axL75E
@Ezzles Plenty of fishing line. Also – by @SallyPompom’s count – 17% less entries than last year. Total suckage.
@gusseting They never give feedback. They suck. (I’m trying to work out a subtle way of putting a middle finger on next year’s entry.)
@bellsknits Yay! Thank you so much – again! Looking forward to exploring Canberra. 🙂
@randomknits @KTunravels I was gonna say her too, actually. Good call.
