    I wonder if you can find ukulele tabs for Taylor Swift songs. (I’m never gonna get to 1000 followers like this, am I?)


    @chrisgander Got my niece Computer Engineer Barbie last year. Looks like this year it’ll be President Barbie! (I am the PROGRESSIVE AUNTIE.)


    @chrisgander They have Architect Barbie, I believe. But man, Plumber or Electrician Barbie would rule too!


    @knitdra Hahaha. I thought it was going to say Hermione at first!

    Heh. @drkknits just publicly named @knitterjp’s baby in the Knitters Guild minutes. THERE’S NO BACKING OUT NOW. 😛


    @knitterjp @drkknits Oh, me you and little LINUS SEVEN know it!


    @drkknits @knitterjp Jack is so ridiculously overused right now. What is this, 1997? I guarantee there will be like 5 Jacks in his kindy.


    @knitterjp @drkknits Unfortunately we agreed that boy children would be Snooks, and “Seven Snook” sounds ridiculous. Hence I bequeath you 7!


    @drkknits @knitterjp Jack Clark? What is he, a comic book character? Also sounds like chicken clucking,& you know how I feel about chickens.


    @drkknits @knitterjp No, I just like naming things. I have lots of cat names that I will never use too. 😛


    @knitterjp @drkknits @the_snook No, the Seven is just from Seinfeld. The older I get, the more I identify with George Costanza.

    Broke out the Cheesylove vest today. One of first garments I knitted! http://t.co/IJtByPCe


    @Ezzles I feel your pain. I loved being red, but not the maintenance and red pillowcases and red hats. 🙁


    @imdominating @Lackadazy Take pics, the pair of you! I am still getting conversational mileage here from last year’s Khal Drogo!


    @aaronistic @brandnetworks Ah, but something tells me I probably wouldn’t get waffle-y goodness if I telecommuted from Sydney. 🙁


    @jasony Ooh, thanks for the tip! Will install this today.


    @Opheli8 Oddly, I liked Tara a lot more in past 1-2 eps than I ever have. She just needs to stop whinging and take up with fangbanger Hoyt.

    @sewweekly I’ve got a potential “Make this Look” for you! I MUST make Kiki’s dress for summer… http://t.co/5pv4CM4r Any suggestions?


    @witty_knitter Not all athletes are lucky enough to have body shape/appearance that gets sponsorships. http://t.co/uCASASMg


    @witty_knitter It’s a lovely ideal, but if you stick with that, the only Olympic athletes will be the independently wealthy.


    @witty_knitter Unless you’re saying the government should pay them a living wage?


    @witty_knitter So the guy in the article is lying? Says non-medalists will be left out-of-pocket.


    @arwenamin @witty_knitter TBH I feel less sympathy for swimmers than I do for those athletes in less popular sports.


    @witty_knitter Yeah, but students gotta eat too! If students/athletes don’t earn a living wage, then only the wealthy have that opportunity.


    @AusVintageGrrl Really? I want to slap mothers all the time. 😛


    @AusVintageGrrl Granted, I want to slap most people most of the time. #misanthropy


    Ugh. I shouldn’t watch helmet-cam videos of cyclists getting hit by stupid car drivers. http://t.co/OM2yfJwZ

    WHY do I bring roast chicken to work for my lunch? I feel like a disgusting Morlock picking over a carcass at my desk.


    RT @venks79: Joining NewsLifeMedia as Technology Manager end of July! Excited about the road ahead! // CONGRATS, VENKY!


    @GeorgieKnits Ooh, nice!


    @blakkat So I hear you’re back in the neighbourhood for a while! We should meet up sometime. I’m up next to the Harbourview. 🙂


    It turns out there *is* a limit to how much banana pudding a person can eat in 24 hours.


    Wow. @amandapalmer’s new video is amazing. Too bad it’s too cold to sleep in the buff in Sydney right now… http://t.co/1VXaNl8m


    A judge said the Galaxy Tab was too uncool to be confused with the iPad. I’ll admit I laughed and laughed. Talk about a Pyrrhic victory.

    @RoseRed_Shoes @knitterjp @mrs_sockvictim Ah, we were there on Thursday night. Doing some feline-related IKEA hacking right now!


    @kristinrohan Thank you! Just rang them for a quote. 🙂


    Finally – the kitchen is DONE! Before: http://t.co/evYntf1P Concept: http://t.co/PxKKWo7o Finished: http://t.co/Z9LlTpTE


    @Alegrya It’s happened so slowly it’s hard to remember what a big transformation it is! But yes, very happy in the end. 🙂


    It’s really happening, @RoseRed_Shoes. Components are ready to be assembled in the morning! http://t.co/YCcnIFBK

    Good ol’ fashioned American banana pudding chilling in the fridge. Man, it tastes REALLY sweet. Has Australia changed my taste buds?

    @3rd_Gen_ Yeah, that’s a good way to look at it. I’ve still got three, which is more than a lot of folks. I need to call them more. 🙂


    Email from student: “I’m writing a paper on Dahl’s contribution to children’s lit. Can you spell it all out for me? And it’s due in 2 days.”


    @witty_knitter I told her I wrote one on the same topic in uni, and it took a lot longer than 2 days and no, I wouldn’t send it to her. 🙂


    @witty_knitter @zephyrama @handmethepanda Did I mention it was from a YEAR 12 STUDENT? *rolls eyes* The mind boggles.


    Hm. Will have to make a trip to Lincraft on the way home for a ZIPPER if I’m going to wear my cardigan to a CERTAIN SOCIAL EVENT on Sunday.


    @Soma377 DONKEGIN. Did we discuss how effed up it is that I live, you know, where that movie was from? Except not, really.


    @RoseRed_Shoes @knitterjp Seriously. I got tired last week replacing like 350ml of blood. A whole person? I don’t know how you’re conscious.


    @drkknits They sell all kinds of crap I wouldn’t wear. 😛


    @drkknits Lucky for you, I can chalk this whole button-mania up to some sort of VIRAL INDUCED DELIRIUM.


    @drkknits I mean, am I also wearing a small triangle shawl in this fantasy of yours? Because that ain’t happening either, sister!


    Three cheers for hand-knit cardigans with zippers! (Suck it @drkknits.) http://t.co/KsOiYiWy


    Hey @andrewvalder, your Twitter has been hacked. You just sent me the “terrible rumors” DM. Change your password!


    @mrs_sockvictim No way. Ain’t delicate. It’s all TWEEDY!


    This has been kind of a crap week. Kinda hoping it’s gonna balance out soon. (Beer helps.)


    @Opheli8 IT’S DONE! Need to do a final documentation this weekend. So that’s a good thing, definitely. 🙂


    @RoseRed_Shoes @mrs_sockvictim They’re not dolls. They’re badass SKELETONS.

    Does wearing my glasses make me grumpy? Or do I only elect to wear my glasses on days when I’m already feeling grumpy? #chickenandegg


    @GeorgieKnits Ooh, pretty!


    Finally got the news. Just lost my first grandparent.


    Thank you everyone. I wasn’t super close to him. My thoughts right now are with Dad and how he’s taking it. Wish I was there for him.


    @acatinatree Well, the ex-Geekdom employee I know had no problem at all with your description of the place. If anything, you held back. 🙂


    @mikeefreedom Thanks. Sorry I haven’t replied to your emails; I did see them. Just been flat out lately and now distracted.


    @acatinatree Oh man, I totally forgot about that. My 15 minutes of Mumbrella fame!


    Listening to completely incongruous pop music. That’s better.


    Wishing I could give hugs to all my family back home on this sad, cold night. The cat will have to do. http://t.co/T4AGQypw


    Just did the most perfect parallel park of my life. That one’s for you, Grandpa Hubert.


    @drkknits *wolf whistle* !!


    Talked to my Dad. He doesn’t want me to worry about flying home for the funeral (which is in 48hrs). He sounds better than I expected tho.


    @witty_knitter Not sure – early 70’s? My Dad’s the eldest, and I think they had him young. And then my parents had me young.


    My Grandpa’s obituary is online. He was 76. http://t.co/CJXAXzEz

    Thanks everybody. It’s my Grandpa. I’m getting updates from my family. It sucks.


    @mrs_sockvictim Thank you. And HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!


    Looks to be confirmed: I am giving a lightning talk on “Knitting Geekery” at the next @GGDSydney event. Excitement!


    @RoseRed_Shoes @mrs_sockvictim For us Yanks it’s easy – it’s the 4th of July! The birth of our country and the birth of Miss Fee!


    Either somebody in this office is a Prince fan, or @drkknits has hacked into the server and is sending me a message.


    Dear @toastman. This is for you. http://t.co/8U9iV7AS


    @imdominating Ha. I guessed who it was before I even clicked the link. 🙂

    @MrAndyPuppy Shouldn’t have told me. I thought you were FAST! 🙂 (Did I see that you’re in Oz now? Here for a visit?)


    Congrats @kunaal84 on being officially announced in his new role as Technical Manager today!


    @kunaal84 @rajsingh2505 You’d think a Technical Manager could work out how to sync his work email to his iPhone… 🙂


    The absolute worst part of being an expat is getting an email overnight that a family member is in the hospital and doing really poorly. 🙁
