@randomknits Twitter meteorology. I love it when you guys alert me to bad stuff coming up from the south…
is trying out Cha-Ching for iPhone. Got any good tips? Doesn’t really seem to have docs other than support forums. #app
hasn’t run in a week. It’s like inertia has taken over. I need to get back out on the road!
is waiting for a toasty turkey sandwich at Toby’s. I feel weird not ordering coffee though. Like people who order Corona at brewpubs.
@crumpet I use TwitterFon. Free, simple, works good!
@wookie_man Hey, you’re my 100th follower! You win the big prize of… HONOUR AND PRESTIGE, my friend! 🙂
is getting ready for our first Strata meeting tonight. Should be interesting, considering how the agent LOST OUR ADDRESS last year.
@wookie_man Nah, it’s there! I saw it afterwards. 🙂
has just nominated the Snook for the Strata Executive Committee. It’s getting a bit heated here!
is undergoing tag-team belly-kneading from cats. Little one went first; now big one is pummeling my guts. It’s kind of sweet. I’m the mommy.
is running late, as ever.
just saw at Broadway that they’re doubling size of Harris Farm. I may never have to go in Coles again!
just watched Irish guy on Spicks and Specks perform “Jump Around” IN GAELIC. Best. Rap. Ever.
just got a notification that my MOM is following me on Twitter. Hi, Mom!
is back at work and feeling approximately 90% healthy, yet still sick enough to justify a bacon & egg roll for breakfast.
@crumpet The button on the headphones rocks my world. The first time I got a call on it I nearly fell over.
has slept pretty much ALL DAY. Still groggy. Didn’t go for a run. Ate ice cream at lunch because I was miserable. May do the same tomorrow.
@kellymcmahon Yeah, saw that. He wrote a big essay too. More about the philosophical angle though. His cancer changed his reviews a LOT.
@AusVintageGrrl Awww, write it up on Rav! I want to hear about it. I’m sorry I missed it. 🙁
referred to an old lady in an email today as the “Dwight Shrute of the Knitters Guild.” I myself, of course, am the Jim.
@mrs_sockvictim Especially when you dump Milo on top straight from the can. 🙂
has an official diagnosis of “a viral illness” and a doctor’s order to go back to bed. At least I’m catching up on some sleep.
is drooling over the smells coming from the slow cooker. Split pea and ham soup, only a few hours to go.
@crumpet I have $39 Optus, but IIRC it’s gone now. So far 500MB data is PLENTY. I use maybe 200MB at most (since I have wifi @ home & work).
feels really, really crappy. Lymph nodes all swollen. Yes, Dr appt 1st thing tomorrow. Loading up on drugs now. 🙁
is waiting for an SMS from my mother-in-law, who’s coming into the city for lunch. She’s bringing me a pudding basin for my birthday!
feels like the only USian on the Internet who hasn’t filled out a bracket or watched a game. I couldn’t even name a team in the tournament!
suddenly discovered the reason for my bad week: a shocking lack of BEER. Luckily it’s Friday, and I aim to rectify the situation.
@randomknits FAN-EFFING-TASTIC! Congratulations!
woke up with suspicious headache. Oh great. Cold sore forming. WHY? Now going to feel like a scabrous leper all week. Off to get Zovirax.
Just completed a 3.57 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/gxoOp #runkeeper
has sewn one shoulder of Na Craga. This sucker might make the deadline after all! Photos coming in the morning.
has discovered that getting a good night’s sleep does not necessarily preclude one from having a really crappy morning.
is fighting with Visio. Is there a nicer, faster way to create a simple, non-fugly flowchart?
@brodrigu I’m stuck on a PC at work, unfortunately.
has lost more tweets today. And here I was just yesterday recommending Twitter as a serious business opportunity. Grrrr.
@mrs_sockvictim Be strong! You’re the Mama Monkey and the monkeys always win. They won’t even remember it in 2 days, promise.
has invented a Time Team drinking game: Drink whenever Geophysics is useless. I am not responsible if this game gives you alcohol poisoning.
feels like a zombie. Two nights of cats keeping us up. Snookums says: I told you so. Caffeine not helping. Urge to kill rising…
@gadgetgirl70 Sure, if by “going out” you mean “hanging with my beeyotches at knitting group.”
thought knitting podcasts might soothe rage & headache. Didn’t realize David Reidy put effing BAGPIPE SOLO in middle of an episode. GAHH.
@michaelengle Undo it! Put tip of left needle into stitch BELOW the purl, slide it off right needle, & pull free. Then purl again looser. 🙂
@randomknits Hm. Seinfeld covered it back in the 90’s, didn’t they?
@kellymcmahon Dan’s on your team? How cool! Make sure you tell him how I always used to beat you at Jeopardy because you read too slow. 🙂
is staring at the dog who wants a cupcake. HE’S CREEPING ME OUT. MAKE IT STOP! http://i41.tinypic.com/2hygnf6.gif
@kellymcmahon Twitter’s tiny character limit absolves me from your pedantry! (Nerd.)
feels kinda sick, probably from breathing hair dye fumes for 24 hrs. OTOH, running hands through hair turns fingernails pink. Free manicure!
is wondering if anyone else is losing Tweets today? One minute they’re there (and even sync to FB), and the next they’re gone.
is all purple and hot pink. I look like a freaking rock star! Total Jem and the Holograms.
is going to meet @mrs_sockvictim for lunch. I feel very glamorous!

@redambition Pics on Facebook now, will post on blog later tonight. 🙂
@kellymcmahon I use TwitterFon. What’s good about Tweetie?
surprised the cleaners at the house and had to flee to the café like the guilty liberal I am.
made an absolutely monstrous meatloaf for dinner. I managed to get three different animals in there! Feeling quite proud, actually.
