    RT @ReverseGarbage: …Two bales of acrylic fiber now for sale for $150 each! http://t.co/njoQDLT5 // Birthday pressie for @mrs_sockvictim!


    Interrupting a work meeting to listen to the #usopen… This is the benefit of having a Scotting project manager. 🙂


    @drkknits It was a WOMAN project manager… o_O


    @snappyshoes Nope. He died. Very sad. 🙁


    Just turned down an offer for a Saturday night reservation at Quay. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME.


    @drkknits @BendalongMorgan Eh, it’s a lot of money to spend on a whim. We’ve got travel coming up. (I’m still torn, TBH.)


    @snappyshoes Have since spoken to greenthumbs who tell me they are notoriously difficult plants. Cultivated in very strict conditions. 🙁

    @steven_noble Don’t think so. Look for a really talkative ginger Pom and a musician type with Ray Ban glasses. 🙂


    The new album “Theatre is Evil” from @amandapalmer is up on Spotify! I already bought it, but this is convenient for work listening…


    @lemon_lime @imdominating I’ll admit it – when I got to the Kellan Lutz snark, I laughed out loud. http://t.co/1uGZAuCq


    @AusVintageGrrl @zephyrama Can you order online from MSY? I’ve only bought from them in person. They’re the Soup Nazi of computers, TBH.


    @the_snook Oh. Dear. God.

    @drkknits Do we have a booking today? Or are we just turning up?


    Stuffed from yum cha. Now for some pub knitting… (@ Bowlers Club) http://t.co/tcPFWE8L


    @drkknits It doesn’t look like it. And he’s too handsome!


    @steven_noble Some representatives from my company @Sitback there at #SydStart today. Say hello if you meet! I’ll vouch for all of you. 🙂

    Election Day! I was tempted to wear my bike helmet so my voting priorities were @ University of Notre Dame http://t.co/ij7Drval


    @stufromoz No, too many democratic carbs on that bun! Came home to make Chicken Salad of Freedom instead. 🙂


    Fancy dinner courtesy of @the_snook: Mustardy Salmon in a Packet with Asparagus and carrots. Yum. http://t.co/y4bqksUQ

    Sometimes spending 4 hours in the pub with your co-workers is *exactly* what you need.


    @RoseRed_Shoes ARE YOU KIDDING? I have the special edition DVD I can lend you after if you want to see the deleted scenes.


    @RoseRed_Shoes Rodd and @kunaal84 had never seen it either. Your whole generation of Aussies missed out. It’s GNARLY. GOONIES NEVER SAY DIE!


    How about I drink something that *isn’t* alcamaholic for a little bit? How about that idea?


    @kunaal84 @RoseRed_Shoes Actually, I feel like watching it RIGHT NOW! To the DVD player!


    Seriously, the theme to The Goonies is one of the best movie soundtracks of all time.


    @knitterjp @rosered_shoes @kunaal84 The Special Edition DVD, by the way, has commentary by the grown-up cast. Josh Brolin is BRUTALLY HOT.


    @knitterjp @rosered_shoes @kunaal84 For more information: http://t.co/1LHYxODN


    @kunaal84 @knitterjp @RoseRed_Shoes You just totes ruined my Halloween costume. (WHY ARE YOU NOT ON SKYPE?)


    “Well Mrs. Walsh, I speak perfect Spanish! And I’d be happy to communicate with Rosalita…” This was *such* a good idea.


    @RoseRed_Shoes @knitterjp @kunaal84 I used to take my blog a lot more seriously.


    @knitterjp @kunaal84 @rosered_shoes The Snook and I quote Data at least once a fortnight: “I am wondering, what is in the bag?!”


    @drkknits @kunaal84 @knitterjp @RoseRed_Shoes And thus commences the Sean Astin Appreciation Club. Paging @imdominating…


    @drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes @kunaal84 @knitterjp I have switched to the live broadcast so I may watch along with you. DAMN, ANDIE SUCKS.


    @drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes @kunaal84 @knitterjp Martha Plimpton (Stef) is AWESOME. I saw her onstage in a play in Chicago once. Fantastic.


    @drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes @kunaal84 @knitterjp In high school we watched The Goonies translated in German. Hilariously, gnarly = gnarly.


    @knitterjp @drkknits @rosered_shoes @kunaal84 Trivia: They hid the pirate ship from the kids til the sequence when they first see it.


    @drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes @knitterjp @kunaal84 Let’s be honest: Worst. CGI. Rocks. Ever.


    @drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes @knitterjp @kunaal84 “You are my best invention.” *sob*


    @drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes @knitterjp @kunaal84 “Sloth? You’re gonna live with me now. I’m gonna take care of ya… because I love ya.” *sob*


    Mikey is lucky he lives in America and not the UK, where those jewels would be, like treasure trove. And then his house would be foreclosed.


    @drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes @knitterjp @kunaal84 And now it is time for some Cyndi Lauper randomness: http://t.co/rF47cXDb


    @RoseRed_Shoes @drkknits @knitterjp I have switched to Kate Beckinsale in “Emma.” Because I’m all high-falutin and shit.


    Ugh. Goonies is over and I think my hangover is starting to kick in…


    @RoseRed_Shoes @drkknits @knitterjp Me neither. I did care a great deal for Jeremy Northam, though. Too bad he’s not in this one.


    @RoseRed_Shoes @drkknits @knitterjp Wow. Kate Beckinsale before she got all slutty and vampire-y. I need to watch Cold Comfort Farm again…


    @RoseRed_Shoes @drkknits @knitterjp ZOMG. SOMEONE WITH A HUGE FOREHEAD AND CHIN. DO NOT WANT.


    @RoseRed_Shoes @drkknits @knitterjp Mark Strong. OH DEAR GOD, HE’S THE BADDIE FROM KICK-ASS. WTF.


    @drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes @knitterjp It was on a few nights ago. I recorded it for just such an occasion.


    The best part of being married to @the_snook is when I say, “Hey, Prunella Scales!” he barkes without a beat from the other room: “BASIL!”


    @drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes @lifehacker So. Not. Paleo.


    @RoseRed_Shoes @drkknits @knitterjp But wow. Farmer Martin is kind of a babe. So this version has that going for it.


    @drkknits Are you saying I should stop tweeting you?


    This Mr. Knightley is a dick.


    For the record: James Squire Orchard Crush cider is *very* tasty. But damn, it gives a wicked headache a few hours later.

    It’s not every day you get to work and see Nazis drinking cappucino on your street.


    @lemon_lime Nah, not yet. Have to build up *very* slowly. By “run,” I really mean walk with a bit of light jogging. Better than nothing!


    @BendalongMorgan Yep, apparently. Some historical drama filming in the Rocks…


    RT @samesame: BREAKING: Prime Minister @JuliaGillard says she’ll now no longer speak at the AUS Christian Lobby’s conference next month. …


    Aine and I enjoying the sun at our first official Rocks Social Knitting Group. @ The Paddock-Pottinger Park http://t.co/eGottvQv


    @VenessaHunt Sweet Art are amazing, but sooooo expensive: http://t.co/JWUDI9EY.


    @lemon_lime You do realise it’s a trilogy, right? 🙂 (I only read the first one.)


    How to motivate your devs: zucchini bread! http://t.co/66iGt346


    @gilmae There’s a EULA on this zucchini bread that signs you up to work all weekend to meet a deadline. You are forewarned.

    Got a thick non-descript envelope in the post last night; thought it was my new CC. Instead it was from Liberal Party. EEEK! BURN THAT CRAP!


    @steven_noble Yep, Rodd interviewed with them earlier in the year. Disappointed to find out role was in the US. Not looking to leave Syd.


    @drkknits That was legit. I was just listening to a song I thought you’d particularly like. 🙂


    @drkknits Wasn’t sure if you use Spotify or not!


    @drkknits Spotify annoyed me at first; the interface is slightly confusing. But now I like it a lot. Listen to it all day at work.


    @drkknits If you can’t get it, this is the video for the song: http://t.co/KchErOu9. Don’t, like, cry or anything. 🙂


    @drkknits They Might Be Giants do really nice cover version too, but I am partial to the original. My friend @spycoredotnet knows the band!


    RT @imdominating: “Success isn’t about how much money you make. It’s about the difference you make in people’s lives.” <— That. Rig …


    @drkknits @imdominating That’s my cousin. You’d get along. She prefers R.Pattz to our hot Swedish Viking, which is weird I’ll admit.


    @imdominating @drkknits I think our brains all went to the same place. Right? Right.


    @imdominating @drkknits OH HELLZ YEAH.


    Okay, Aine and I are planning a Rocks lunchtime knitting session in the sun tomorrow. Anybody want to join us? @blakkat?


    @RoseRed_Shoes @drkknits @redambition I’ll add that to the list of 45 million other projects I’ve got to do. 😛


    @drkknits @redambition @RoseRed_Shoes Except I still have to embroider my cat heads on this quilt. Yes, seriously. And then a bicycle.


    @drkknits @redambition @RoseRed_Shoes Yes. It’s going to be magnificent.


    @drkknits @redambition @RoseRed_Shoes I never said it was going to be classy. Magnificent, yes. Classy, definitely not. 😛


    @crumpet Ooh. Exhibition? Did I miss this? Where I can see crumpart in Sydney??


    @squozen @crumpet o_O


    @crumpet Sure! You’re welcome to crash at our place if you need. The 15th is also the next Knitters Guild meeting if you want to join us…


    @crumpet Oh, durrr. I read “the next weekend” as next weekend. Regardless, guest room offer stands. 🙂


    @crumpet @knitterjp Ooh! We’ll be sure to tell everybody about it at the Guild meeting then.


    There’s only one post, but already http://t.co/D14K8Bbq is pretty damn awesome. I laughed at the “soup cans”.


    Does anyone know if @shopify offer discounts for non-profits?


    @knitterjp You have redefined the uncomfortableness of a tweet too! DO NOT WANT, JP!


    @witty_knitter @knitterjp I’m just suggesting a social covenant whereby we do not allude to cold speculums or things that are even worse!


    Prince Philip Wears a Kilt — Totally Flashes His Penis http://t.co/nQlRP7zM // Best headline ever. Cc @the_snook


    @knitterjp @witty_knitter But you triggered my imagination!!


    WTF is happening in the CBD. Stuck near Martin Place for 10min now. Can hear loud noises and cheering?


    Hm. Finally moving. Couldn’t see anything at Martin Place. Was it something at Establishment?


    Prepping for the next embroidery. I’m kind of a genius. #magnificent #notclassy http://t.co/7pQyJvvK


    Simon Callow is doing ads for crappy McCain frozen foods? REVEREND BEEBE, HOW COULD YOU. (I assume this is an only-in-Oz thing, @jannism?)

    @ReverseGarbage We’ve still got all of it! Would love to give it to you guys. You can email me at kris.howard at gmail to work out details.


    @ReverseGarbage Husband Rodd just replied to you on Gumtree, I believe! 🙂


    @twelveeyes Hey, I went #nostockings too! Maybe we can start a new trend…


    @Illdrinn Snook’s coming to Mtn View for a couple weeks next month. Will he get in trouble if he puts WoW on his Goog laptop? 🙂


    @imdominating Can I get one and pick it up in December? 🙂


    @imdominating I can PayPal you if you like. Just let me know!


    @Illdrinn Yep, he’s in there. Rodd Snook. Don’t think he knew about the internal WoW group!


    @RoseRed_Shoes @drkknits @knitterjp @randomknits I was always partial to Prairie Dawn…


    @drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes @knitterjp @randomknits Prairie Dawn is pretty much the Muppet Hermione, now that you mention it…


    Introduction time at #ggdsyd. Lots of newbies tonight – including @gadgetgirl70!


    Very happy to see more BA’s represented at tonight’s #ggdsyd!


    Listening to @jocranford talk about test-driven development at #ggdsyd…


    I’ve only worked at one place that mandated a certain % of test code coverage. Unfortunately we were using Joomla, so… massive fail. #ggdsyd


    This is why I love #ggdsyd: the slide illustrating paid programming shows two women coders. 🙂


    @unlikelylibrary @gadgetgirl70 What?! When did you change Twitter names?!


    Gahhh. That should’ve been PAIR programming. #ggdsyd


    Accessibility benefits everyone. I *hate* watching online video. I want transcripts! Fast readers unite! #ggdsyd


    Marriage is: both of you doing a double-take at the same thing at the same time, knowing exactly what the other is thinking. #psychicsnook


    @sarahtp @pyko So why do so few sites provide them? I think it’s because pre-roll ads are so valuable. Deliberately user-hostile. #ggdsyd


    RT @pyko: Huge turn out for #ggdsyd! http://t.co/cmUnJXxp // That’s MAH HEAD in the lower-right! (Note to self: get roots done.)


    @chrispytweets @sarahtp @pyko Tell it to the SMH and their giant page takeover ads and auto-playing videos. 🙁


    @amyecroft Great to meet you tonight! Librarians named Amy are some of the best. 🙂


    @caitlinmoran This is why you’re my hero. KA-POW!


    @mikeefreedom I’m glad somebody’s in a good mood. Just steer clear of us grouchy insomniacs. 🙁


    @mikeefreedom I will in a bit. Right now I’m mainlining carbs.


    Insomnia is evil. It’s like The Game. As soon as you think about it, you’ve lost. *yawn*

    Let’s say I needed to cover someone in body paint. How much would I need? Where to get in Sydney? What’s the best type? Any suggestions?


    @toastman Grams is a weight. Body paint, as I understand it, is sold by volume. Is ghee 1g/mL?


    @toastman Then you fail at helpfulness!


    @drkknits It’s the time of year when a young girl’s mind turns to cosplay…


    @jacobmollstam WHOA – that’s a lot! Others were telling me a lot less?? Are you talking like liquid latex?


    @twelveeyes @KTunravels @sharre I don’t know anyone who goes “carb-free” though. No major diets advocate it. Veggies = plenty of carbs!


    @twelveeyes @KTunravels @sharre But as far as “low-carb” goes, there’s a fair amount of overlap with gluten free.


    @twelveeyes @KTunravels @sharre Subbing for pasta: ribbons of zucchini! Very yummy. And whizzed up cauliflower is great rice/couscous sub.


    @drkknits Ooh, so glad to hear it! Yay!


    @KTunravels @twelveeyes @sharre I actually made a beautiful faux pasta dish with zucchini on the weekend: http://t.co/0QoCBvXy


    Note to self: you really should start every day with exuberant South Korean dance music. #gangnamstyle


    @henrytapia I’m bringing @the_snook over to your office tonight for GGD. You gonna be around?


    A teacher emailed to ask if I would post her class’s Roald Dahl letters on my site and then individually reply to all 75 of them. Uh, no.

    Another embroidery finished. This quilt is gonna be awesome. http://t.co/1Y0YJZ8A


    @drkknits Technically 3 more to fill…


    @kattjayne Where do you work? I’ve been thinking about a lunchtime group in the Rocks. Also talking to shop about evening group in Chippo…
