The Knitters Guild got a plus in this month’s TimeOut Sydney: http://twitpic.com/a6yv2

@witty_knitter It seems to be smacking me around with Round 2.

Whoa! Just discovered that Avenue Q is coming to Sydney! Finally a musical I think the Snook will be happy to see…

Dammit! I haven’t gotten tickets yet! Shouldn’t have told you guys; it’ll sell out! 🙂

Casey has enabled group chats on Ravelry. Party over at Australian Knitters! http://www.ravelry.com/chats/603

@knitterjp Huh. I got in right away! Are you on PC or phone?

@knitterjp It’s weird, because I see you listed as being in the chat.

@knitterjp Tia wants to know if your Java is up to date!

Snookums force-fed me paracetamol. Feeling much better now.

@randomknits I blame myself and the Ravelry chat room for at least part of that.

Just completed a 4.31 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/13wTKZ #runkeeper

First run in over a week. There were some… snot issues… but mostly I felt pretty good. Mentally I feel a zillion times better.

Great conclusion to my knitting class. Three finished socks and two in progress! Now I’m supposed to do community gardening…

I may have overdone it this weekend. Feel like cold is returning for round two…

On the bus to Guild. Looooong day ahead.

In the middle of @mrs_sockvictim’s Colour Theory workshop. Gorgeous and informative.

@bellsg We may put slides online. No Rosered, I think she’s sick!

@knitness What?! The Guildees are all astonishment. 🙂

The workshop was great! We taught 20 newbies how to knit. Library staff were loving it. Massive success. Photos soon…

Photos are up from today’s knitting workshop: http://www.knittersguildnsw.org.au/innercity

@sharre Only took like 5 minutes. I got lots of drag and drop happening here… 🙂

@sharre And the slides are exporting as we speak…

And the cricket is on. If I close my eyes, I can almost pretend it’s summer! Except my feet are freezing.

Why are the cricket commentators talking about Margaret Thatcher and the Welsh coal miners? Just Pom bashing?

@TinyArk That’s only an urban legend. They’re not quite sure how it came to be used: http://bit.ly/D90z5

I’m usin’ ur heater to warmz mah belleh. http://twitpic.com/9zj31

@Alegrya A Cold Rock? Definitely; I’ve run past it several times. Haven’t gone in yet either.

Confirmed: Snookums has the cold too. Did EVERYONE at @mrs_sockvictim’s party get it? There had to be a Patient Zero there.

Heading to M&S for last sock class. That will make 7 hours of knitting activity this weekend that didn’t involve me actually knitting.

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.
