Facebook just gave me a new friend suggestion. IT’S MY GRANDPA HARTER.
@drkknits Heh. Several of us were watching it in the break room. I was hoping for that hat trick; I’ve never seen one before.
I have officially sent in my Easter Show entry form. Class 0119: Red Cabled St. Brigid Jumper; and Class 0202: Albert the Magic Pudding.
Seven Bella Swans a Swimming: http://bit.ly/7hMhr0. For @imdominating and her Twihard pals… 🙂
Happy birthday, @Kat13v! Many happy returns of the day.

PUKE. OsCommerce hackers can go jump off a cliff.
Hack appears to be fixed. Luckily the site didn’t have anything worth stealing, but it still sucks to get done.
@ozgamer Thanks. I feel horrible though. Snook keeps telling me it’s not my fault, which helps.
Beer. Pizza. “World of Goo” on WiiWare. Life is much better thanks to my best friend.
@jannism We got stuck on the one with the balloons and the giant frog thing. Your kids probably kicked our ass.

I have officially knitted 328 rows of St. Brigid, watched 1.5 seasons of Buffy, and eaten most of a Mangomisu. Great weekend off…
@VenessaHunt @Opheli8 Are you mocking my hermit-like old-lady existence? But it’s fun! 😛
@Opheli8 @VenessaHunt No no, GUG’s why I DRINK. Knitting just fills the hours until alcohol is socially acceptable.
Back to work after a looong holiday weekend. What’s that, USA? You guys had to work Monday? Sucks to be you! (Yay, Boxing Day!)
@imdominating That tweet made my soul laugh before it was even out of bed.
@MrMikeLawson DEAR GOD. It looks like it’ll come alive at night and kill you in your sleep.
The office is quiet… except for the pumping bass coming from the tech team side. My corner is Deadsville.
@VenessaHunt You’re worrying me. Am I going to end up writing a spec for this site?
@VenessaHunt PHEW!

Trying to call family for Christmas. Just rang both numbers I had for my Grandpa and got completely random strangers. Bah humbug.
@venks79 Nice one! Although those GPS points look a little suss… 🙂

I ran in the rain. I got wet.
Wow. The raspberry sauce just took the Mangomisu up to ELEVEN. If you make it, don’t forget the sauce.
Wanted to go see Psycho at the Opera House, but good grief. Ticket prices are nuts. $90 for the cheap seats! http://bit.ly/4Ye58S
We put the bread machine on a timer last night. Best way to wake up EVER.
MANGOMISU! http://twitpic.com/v47ht
@traceyh It looked good, and it tasted okay, but it wasn’t quite the mango-gasm we were expecting. Lacked a little oomph.
@traceyh ARGH! I just realized – WE FORGOT THE RASPBERRY SAUCE. There’s the oomph. DURRRR. Will make it tomorrow. 🙂
@traceyh Rodd’s trick is to dip them very lightly. He says otherwise they fall apart too easily.
@knitterjp Well, I’m starting the front so it’s relatively small now. If it were a big piece, I couldn’t do it.
Hey Twitter, can I substitute Triple Sec for Grand Marnier in a recipe? My MANGOMISU DEPENDS ON IT.
@tinkabel It’s on the cover of this month’s Delicious: http://bit.ly/7npOMn 🙂
I am headed into the abyss. (Man, I hate Coles.)
Coles is insane. The only things preventing a riot are those giant air conditioning units. http://twitpic.com/uwkdm

Charlie is back! My favorite graffiti in Chippo. http://twitpic.com/uxair
Christmas Eve fireworks? Sydney has a lot of fireworks.
Still waking up. You early risers are cah-RAZY.
Family: Skype is on if you want to get in touch! I am now going to commence knitting and TV, and I don’t plan on moving for hours.
RT @VenessaHunt: Check out new promo… www.samsungmobile.com.au – to schedule your New Years Msg’s for free…
Tried several times to check in at Crossroads Bar, Swissotel Sydney. @foursquare fail?!
@glittertrash I noticed that last weekend! I wasn’t sure if it was chard or beetroot, but yeah, definitely edible.
GAH. I did it again! I did short rows on St. Brigid shoulder, forgot that it has saddles, thus no 3-needle bindoff. (Did same on Na Craga.)
Phew. Back of St. Brigid is successfully casted off. Now to start the front. (5 days off; how much can I get done? Place bets now!)
@redambition Cute! Loving that fringe. 🙂
HOLY CRAP. Do Huntsmen spiders make webs? Because there is a hairy spider the size of a golf ball in my garden in a humongous web.
Crap. Huntsmans don’t make webs. WHAT IS IT?
RT @redambition: @web_goddess Sounds like a Garden Orb Weaver. http://bit.ly/8EKcbf // I think that’s it. PHEW! Thanks…
@redambition Yeah, and this one’s built his web at head height right outside the backdoor. I nearly walked into him face first!
I blogged the GIANT SPIDER. I’m calling her Shelob. http://bit.ly/5RdcIP
@alyshajane Hm. If she’s eating wasps, she’s welcome to stay!
This morning the spider web is gone. I hope a bird didn’t eat Shelob.
@carbolicious Did you see him on 30 Rock? LOVE.
Hall & Oates sing “Jingle Bell Rock”. http://bit.ly/6cMped (This one’s for @carbolicious.)
@twelveeyes Oh man! The Tramcar is a dream of mine. We need a review afterwards…
@ozgamer Dude, does ‘New Toy Syndrome’ last for 2.5 years? Because that’s a long time for a gadget.
@DianneKing They’re uncommon here but not unknown. In fact, I got some in a gift swap two weeks ago from an Aussie!
Re-redding the hair. I sit in a funk of ammonia and hair dye.

Hey Twitter. If you have a cleaner, do you tip them for Christmas? And how much? (We want to know if we’re cheapskates.)
@toastman W00t. Hahahaha… Okay, so I feel better now. Especially considering we have the SAME CLEANER.
@VenessaHunt See, my red hair makes me look much more interesting than I actually am. Opposite of your classy bob! 😛
Cleaner responses ranged from nothing to two weeks full pay + gift! Feeling better about my $20 and homemade cookies. Thanks everybody…
@bellsknits I got a thank you plus an SMS later saying how much her son was enjoying the cookies. Very sweet! Love our cleaner.
@VenessaHunt More like a bob CAN be boring, if the wearer needs camoflage. The red is harder to disguise.
