@chrisgander Nice run! 75min is kickass. Pace looks great on the Hill too. Now go rest!
Yeah. So I spent the whole day doing embroidery… http://t.co/FW9XqdYZ
@Illdrinn Nope. All by hand. Amazing what you can get accomplished during a True Blood marathon.
@redambition @mrs_sockvictim @drkknits I have tried hard to ignore these posts. Too tempting! You evil carb sirens! 🙂

Running late to the Marriage Equality Rally because I had to mail patchwork squares to my online quilting group. #totes #portlandia

@liamvhogan A friend in Tasmania knitted it for me, which makes it even nicer!

@discoknitter I can see Inigo! We are over just past the Greens signs.

@carriekalia I did! If you’re a knitter, it’s a Clapotis knit extra large in Noro Kureyon wool. 🙂
Best of luck to everyone running the City2Surf this morning. Wish I could be out there with you!

WTF. Random dudes get to escape sitting next to kids on planes, but I get stuck with it because I’m a woman? #indignant http://t.co/kq2LWDWW
I agree 100% that the airline policy is sexist. I’m just annoyed at assumption that my boobs mean I’d have to sit with random children.
@drkknits Hahaha. I have to say, the airline would be better off picking a random dude to watch unaccompanied kids than you or me!
@drkknits “Children! Aunty Kris has a special vitamin for you to take. Please ignore that it says BENADRYL on the side. Now GO TO SLEEP.”
@gilmae I’m just jealous that it’s harder for me to claim sexism too because of the assumption that woman = always happy to babysit. 🙂
@henrytapia Of course. Like I said, completely agree that policy is dumb & sexist. Just amused they think kids would be better next to me.
@drstip @redambition Hahaha. Obviously the solution is a sort of creche section of plane. Then we can all sit in the back and drink wine!
@sharre I can’t think of much worse than being bedridden in a room full of random kids! I don’t think DVDs would compensate in my case.
@sharre So why wouldn’t they put in a man in there, if he’s totally separated from the kids anyway?
@sharre If you say you “understand” it, then you are tacitly agreeing with it. All men are not pedophiles. Profiling is demeaning!
@sharre Most kids are molested by people known to them. So is that justification for separating families? By their logic, it should be!
@blakkat Nice! Apparently @the_snook is being anti-social and doing his hack stuff at his desk. #y7hack
I appreciate @chrisgander’s attempt to help me combat The Stupid, but I think we lost this round. *sigh*
@chrisgander We lost defending the importance of space exploration. How does the world end? Not with a bang but with a “blah blah blah…”
Anybody want to buy my old iSight? @nolim1t?
@Ezzles Massive hugs. And I’d bring ice cream if it weren’t so effing cold. Stupid dicky boys. 🙁
Thinking of piking on Knit Guild tomorrow in favour of the Marriage Equality march at Town Hall…
@knitdra Droool! That looks amazing!

@cdeagle Airline says men can’t sit by unaccompanied kids. I resent that, as a woman, they think I’m any better. (Not a big fan of kids.)
@toastman Haven’t run in 6 months. Tendonitis. It sucks. No C2S for us this year.

@taradefrancisco Wait, is it the ex I know? Because if so, I am way out of the loop!
@drkknits @knitdra @mrs_sockvictim Please give my apologies today. Got other stuffs to do. Hope to see you all soon though!
@taradefrancisco Holy shit, that’s awesome! Please tell Crawdaddy congrats from me & Snook. And if anybody is sending group flowers, I’m in.
@taradefrancisco She & PW girls sent gift basket to me & Snook on our nuptials. AC’s name got hilariously mangled (as “enemy”) by hotel.
@taradefrancisco I was like, WTF? We got a present from Liz, Kel, and Enemy?!
@drkknits I was gonna say that looks nicely Paleo til I saw the big LOAF OF BREAD on the side. 😛
@mrs_sockvictim @drkknits @knitdra Damn! Of course, I probably won’t need it for 6 months now. Take it to Sewjourn 2.0!
@Illdrinn Just realised this implies you’re back for a visit! Welcome home.
@Illdrinn Not sure if you’ve heard the good news, but @the_snook will be joining your company’s Sydney office in a fortnight or so. 🙂
48 homemade white chocolate and macadamia cookies ready for tomorrow. Half for Ivan’s last day; half for @kunaal84’s week of stress.

@acatinatree I thought you were referring to Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, so I expected the link to be a lot funnier.
You know a knitting project has gone off the rails when you start to feel negatively even towards the sheep. Stupid Cormo.
@drkknits Woohoo! Are they REALLY, or have you just been eating your broccoli? 🙂
@drkknits That’s so great! I need me some of that. Time to crank the One Direction. (I AM NOT EVEN KIDDING.)
Had the bright idea to use a bulldog clip to keep my pant leg out of my bike chain this morning. Worked great – til I forgot it for an hour.
@drkknits I’ll just, like, sew a felt bird to my clip. And then people will think I’m being TRENDY.
@gilmae @drkknits 2012 is the year of Birds and Bunting, dude. Girls know these things.
@gilmae @drkknits Well, you can wear an onion on your belt if you like. Meanwhile my RSS feeds are filled with this: http://t.co/gvygIB6z
Heh. Judging by the screenshot (http://t.co/o565GQ1p), @mat named his iPad “Ol Dirty Padster.” That’s kind of brilliant.

.@brooke_fong @astroboysoup Interesting that it doesn’t say much about fulfilment, which is where my @Pozible experience hasn’t been great.
Good grief. Made a FB post about the stupid Chick-Fil-A thing; got the most epic tl;dr in the world in reply from a family member. *sigh*

@blakkat Snook and I are doing it. No booze, no sugar, no dairy, no grains. Nutritional reset button! Already difficult tho. #whole30
@blakkat Definitely no bread and potatoes! Google “Whole30”. It’s rough, but we’ve been going in the wrong direction for a while.
@drkknits Tonight Snook’s roasting lamb with pumpkin & spinach. Ghee is just because we’re trying no dairy this month. Whole30 = hardcore!
@jessgenevieve Ooh, lovely. I’m a big fan of slow carb; followed it for a while last year!

CHAOS! Fam’s @united flight back to LA from Sydney tomorrow has been cancelled. Trying to sort out replacement flights!
We had to ring @united’s international number and sit on hold to sort it out. Looks like they’re rebooked through San Fran!
Hmm. @united CSR told my family they were getting Economy Plus seats… but the ones they’re given aren’t. Tall stepdad is not happy.
