In case anybody missed it, Atholie has posted her next installment: http://bit.ly/ds6jc4. Screw this stuff; I’m goin’ for a run. 🙂
Just completed a 6.65 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/atBU3I #RunKeeper
The cats appear to have made an unholy alliance with the bus drivers’ union to RUIN MY DAY.
Some of us are at work! RT @scrubbles: Most of my twitterees are not watching that thing that everybody else is watching today…
This grey and rainy weather is really emphasizing the cloak-and-dagger tone my day has taken.
@Opheli8 @trib Sewing people? Yeah, I’d classify most as nerds. It’s not a very sexy hobby at the moment. Knitting is where it’s at. 🙂
@cdeagle Yeah, but you get extra KICKASS POINTS for doing it in the rain. Great job!
Going by the pattern, I’m 2/3 done with St. Brigid sleeves. Going by the length of my actual Gigantor arms, I’m only 1/2 done. *sigh*
Stuffed baby eggplant: http://twitpic.com/11np56. YUM. I am a domestic goddess.
Jenny C has posted about the Guild situation on Ravelry, so those of you who aren’t members, head there to comment and ask ?’s.
@Alacaeriel The Constitution is on the Guild website…
@bellsknits Yes. She hasn’t posted the contents of the letter, so non-Guild members should ask her to clarify.
You know what would make all this better? PAJAMA JEANS. http://bit.ly/6ZfQSl That is the most genius invention of all time.
It’s not every day you find a perfectly good plastic skull in a skip on Clarence St: http://twitpic.com/11o21a. We think it may even BLINK!
@crumpet Quite. Tho the jaw is broken and thus separated. Mandibles O’ Death, I call him.
Since it looks like it’s going to rain all day AGAIN, the only question is whether to run in the rain now or later.
@cdeagle I don’t get the nipple problem – hooray for sports bras – but some guys swear by Body Glide. Lube ’em up next time!
@cdeagle Good questions! I’ll definitely work them into Ep 3, hopefully in the next day or two…
@cdeagle Related question: How do you prefer me to read your twitter name? CD-eagle, or C-deagle?
Got fantastic email from Debra in So. California this morning about my podcast. Thanks Debra! You resurrected my Friday. 🙂
@drkknits Inner City will be drama free, trust me. G, R, and I guarantee it. 🙂
Woo! @Kat13v and the Firefly quote FTW. I feel stirred up and inspired. 🙂
Just completed a 2.68 km walk with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/a3EtcW #RunKeeper
@stufromoz Ran this morning. The walking home was just to feel virtuous enough to make up for the beer at lunch. 🙂
Holy crap… iiNet WON THEIR CASE? http://bit.ly/cZ7V6L That’s awesome!
Thanks to everyone’s opinions… We went with the Lovebird Suite. Bring on the big spa bath!
Sydney and Melbourne: not as different as you’d think. http://rockitbaby.de/projects/mycityvsyourcity/#sydney/australia/melbourne/australia
Next question: What’s the verdict on Jambaroo? Worth going? Will I really get to control the action?
RT @likeomg: from here on out, anyone who creates a word with the prefix “tw-” in the hopes of being seen as cutting edge gets a courtes …
@chrisgander This Seppo is a full convert. Pineapple all the way.
@Jimbo_W I really want to do the Striders series, but I’m not at a 60min 10K just yet. 🙁 #running
My clients are all internal. Hm -> RT @gilmae: I think we should kill our client and steal all their money. It will be win win for everyone.
Realisation: The “Out of Scope” section is my favourite part of writing a spec, by far.
Just completed a 5.62 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/dd2JvJ #RunKeeper
I’m entering @Crust_Pizza #CrustFreePizzaFriday because evidently I’m a glutton for disappointment.
The truth is that I’m still ambivalent about the iPad. But raving frothing haters are turning me into an iPad-supporter, just out of spite.
Apple just sent me a survey about my recent repair. The punchline is, NextByte haven’t even called me about it yet. It’s not done, AFAIK.
@stufromoz The repair. Asks me about the technical ability of person who did the repair, etc. Needless to say, I can’t answer! 🙂
Bit of a surprise to see @acatinatree’s lovely visage pop up in my Google Reader! Congrats to @Readingroom_Au…
@acatinatree The Mumbrella story with your piccy! Well done. I was getting worried you were going to be deported… 🙂
Wow. GGR Episode 2 has had over 100 downloads in the first day. It took Episode 1 four days to reach that! http://bit.ly/beAHBt
@Bevfam Puh-leeze… I don’t need an even bigger head about this than I already have! 😛
Tegan and Sara coming to Oz: http://bit.ly/bg7mCN. Anybody want to go to the Sydney show in May with me?
Just completed a 5.53 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/9itKu3 #RunKeeper
@kaztx I don’t have a problem with forefoot running – and I’m slow! But I started out alternating run/walks for several weeks to build up.
Planning a weekend getaway to Kiama. Is it worth $100 extra to get the “Lovebird Suite” with the big corner spa?
@Bevfam @Jimbo_W Thanks for the RTs – and the listens! I’m just annoyed it’s not up in iTunes yet. Grrr.
Ah! The latest GGR episode isn’t listed in iTunes yet, but it’s there if you subscribe. Guess it just takes a while for main page to update.
@Bevfam Weird. I don’t see the review! Wonder if it caches them in various locations or something.
@Bevfam Ahhh, reviews are listed *per country*. I need to figure out how to see reviews in other countries!
I feel like I want some big giant headphones at work so I can feel even more isolated over here in my corner. 🙂
@redambition The Mother’s Day Race? Yay! It’s a really fun event. I’ll be doing it too!
Sarah McLachlan followed by the Spin Doctors? Evidently my iPod is having some mid-90’s nostalgia today. I feel like I’m back in college.
Still feeling run down. Yawning and in bed by 9.30 tonight.
RT @coachprs: I feel this is important enough info to put out there again. Forefoot v Heel Strike Hmmm? http://bit.ly/b6Cijy
Started my Monday with a marathon 3-hour meeting that systematically destroyed a 20+ page spec. FML.
Best follow-up to 3hr meeting is realizing you’re sick and having to rush home to take antibiotics ASAP. This sucks and I feel like crap.
Just completed a 5.47 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/aCUvOw #RunKeeper
GeekGirlRunner Episode 002 is now available! http://bit.ly/ccoQL5 Should be available in your feed reader or iTunes soon…
Met up with a bunch of folks for impromptu kite festival at Sydney Park. http://twitpic.com/10n8aw http://twitpic.com/10n8ds
@Bevfam Thanks! Saw your tweets about cheering on the Irish. I’m a Domer myself, class of ’99. 🙂

In case you, like me, were wondering about the frenetic pace and odd editing of The Biggest Loser, this is why: http://bit.ly/dfOPkJ.
Celeb spotting! Ran past Ryan Shelton on Enmore Rd. Couldn’t remember his name; had to browse thru 100 Spicks & Specks ep descs to find him.
@knitabulous Nope, completely cut out. No group shots at weigh in. I bet they’ll rush thru 1st two weeks in a couple eps & then slow down.
@sharre A friend referred to her unemployment as The Summer of George. Make the most of it!
Sun is shining and I’m on my way to #operainthedomain!
Just got report that Domain is covered on fences?! Will they take them down before the opera starts? #operainthedomain
The Knitters’ Camp has been established! http://twitpic.com/10esbb #operainthedomain

Knitting in the sun at #operainthedomain. http://twitpic.com/10fpfc
The first two ppl at the Little Creatures Bar were Knitters. Hells yeah. http://twitpic.com/10fsdo
In spite of sunshades and SPF 30+, I have bright pink arms, legs, and cleavage. 🙁
@misswired Complete brain meltdown. Did not register that @dancingman the knitter was @dancingman the Tweeter. I blame Vampire Bedazzlement.
At the Opera in the Domain! (@ The Domain) http://4sq.com/5dnm6D

As an opera singer, Paul McDermott makes a good TV presenter. #operainthedomain
Sunburnt. Tired. On a fortunately empty Newtown bus headed home. #operainthedomain
@redambition That’s it! Time for lunch.
@crumpet HAHAHAHA.Tell them you’re a guerilla scrapbooker, and you punch holes in stuff because that’s your SUBVERSIVE ART, MAN.
@crumpet Several. Several.
I am using both “sign up” and “top up” in a document. Hyphenate or not? Opinions?
@toastman Dude. At least wait til beer o’clock before you make me miserable and contemplative.
This is what I went with! RT @witty_knitter: only need hyphenation if they are forming a single adjective eg sign-up sheet.
The Duck & Swan is packed out tonight! No one in Chippo feels like cooking.
Getting supplies for #operainthedomain today. The weather’s not that bad!
