    Easter Show project #2 complete. I hope the display organisers have a mannequin head to get full effect… http://t.co/jVIKuYVt


    It always freaks me out for a while when he does this. #rockabillysnook http://t.co/NStFtFIQ


    All 3 exhibits successfully dropped off at the Show, including Sam Sawnoff! http://t.co/xODdUfQh


    @stufromoz Yes! They came out a bit more nappy-like than I wanted, but he was a hard shape to fit. πŸ™‚


    @stufromoz Theoretically. But they always hate mine since it’s non-traditional.

    Epic day. Grocery shop, frantic finishing of knitting, neighbourhood lunch party, out to show grounds, IKEA, Costco, Bunnings, home. Pooped.


    @likeomg Gorgeous! Like the lippie too.

    @jamasoftware From googling, pricing apprears to start @ $700/yr. Way outside company’s budget. If I had known, I wouldn’t have wasted time.

    @gusseting I dunno… I wondered on a dating site ten years ago. The women with the highest usage patterns were all prostitutes. (Seriously)


    Australia Post just sent me a Customer Satisfaction Survey. No joke.


    @brown_note I found your review a few days ago – it sounded great! I just didn’t want to bother trialling something we couldn’t afford.


    @SallyPompom @witty_knitter That reminds me – no one has actually told me to change the exec mailing list. @merrinmez?

    Ebert gave Hunger Games three stars. This bodes well. http://t.co/ZdPEvU2R


    I used to be just a smug public transport commuter. Then I got a bike. And now riding the bus feels like a jail sentence. #soulcrushing


    Okay, this bus driver must follow me on Twitter because now he’s messing with me. He’s playing *Enya*.


    @traveller0112 We’re not Copenhagen, but we’re pretty good! A friend from Portland marvelled at our separated bike lanes when he visited.


    @drkknits I just got a retweet from Wagamama of my Michael Cera tweet. I am in Twitter hipster ego-stroking heaven.


    @traveller0112 Oh, we have that too. Aggro drivers want cyclists to register and display plates. Sometimes they yell at us. They suck.


    Actual text from my “apology” from @auspost: “…for the inconvenience you has to experience by loosing your license.” And no $23 either.


    RT @thedailymeal: Gstaad Palace’s Champagne and Black Truffle Cheese Fondue… http://t.co/2YSdeEQL // DROOL.


    Been feeling stressed and out of sorts. @the_snook said as I left work: “Maybe you should get a massage.” Best idea ever.


    @jasony Nice link. Yeah, I’ve experienced the “you should take the meeting notes (and get the coffee)” thing. It sucks.


    RT @socialspace: The company behind #drawsomething has been sold to @zynga… // And that’s it, I’m officially over Draw Something.

    @shanea I do! And yet I’ve never broken a bone. Random.


    @randomknits I hereby dub thee a fellow Hermione!


    Now Sam Sawnoff has wings! Or are they flippers? http://t.co/eDoNCdFd


    New dress, properly styled. Just need to learn to apply makeup and I’ll look like a proper gr @ Chippendale http://t.co/6JE6oZJ2


    @zephyrama Yep. Had a sale on so I grabbed few things. Got another wiggle too, but I need some shapewear to pull it off. Recommendation?


    @drkknits Thanks! Figured dressing up would distract me from other things. πŸ™‚


    I had an awesome dream last night that NASA selected me to be an astronaut on a moon trip. I was actually disappointed when I woke up.


    @auspost Thanks. It was VH1967710.


    @the_snook It’s like a really scary Loony Tunes cartoon.


    @auspost It wasn’t posted; it was an email. I can forward it to you if you like. Just need an address.

    @auspost Strawberry Hills. I sent through an official complaint on January2nd. Reference #VH1967710. Got meaningless form response back.


    @fitocracy Is there some way to delete my account? I’m just not using the site; would prefer to remove my details rather than leave up.


    @auspost Thank you. I have the packaging that was used to return the license. I’ll take a few photos.


    Wow. I may end up getting compensated from Australia Post for the replacement license after all!


    Awesome. @dooce talks about her experience on #paleo and why she loves it: http://t.co/LodxGW94. (cc @drkknits)


    Wheee! Got another delivery from Heartbreaker today. This means I now own TWO wiggle dresses. Me. TWO.


    @randomknits @gusseting Ooh, ooh, I didn’t realise they were being sent out! How excitement.


    @that_alison Nope. But I line dried it. There’s something on the site about how you should only tumble dry it if you want it to snug up…


    @Ezzles Bwahahaha… What’s it say underneath? Baratheon? (cc @drkknits @kunaal84) http://t.co/Zx4ERufv


    New dress from Heartbreaker. Hello, sweetheart! http://t.co/rg8TDEgD


    @Alegrya Me too! My friend @Opheli8 got a similar one last year and I thought it was super cute.


    @Opheli8 Odds aren’t great that I’ll go. Got too much on! Trying to finish some projects for Saturday deadline.


    Sydney retro fashionistas: In order to pull off the wiggle dress, I’m gonna need some shapewear. Where can I go to get fitted properly?


    @drkknits @kunaal84 It was “comet”. πŸ™‚


    @drkknits Excellent….


    @drkknits The fun part was figuring out whose six pack I was going to draw.


    Every now and then I knit something that disturbs even me. http://t.co/vG0a7hSM


    @Justacogitating Once he has ears and horns it’ll be even better.


    @rachievaichie Because most of the other stuff in the Easter Show knitting competition is boring as.


    @AusVintageGrrl Do you read Teer Wayde’s blog? I think she linked to some recently…


    @mrs_sockvictim @drkknits It’s an iPhone/Android game called Draw Something. Addictive… but I think I’m over it already after one week.


    Spent 20min researching Contour by @jamasoftware. Why no pricing shown on site? I need to know if it’s too expensive to bother demoing.

    RT @NanoPunk: Uni’s tree house had to add bike racks http://t.co/aesr7nFG


    Today I learned that you can lodge a protest against Easter Show judging for a mere $25. Interesting. Interesting…


    @witty_knitter The $25 gets forfeited if they think your protest is “frivolous”, so I wouldn’t even lose the money! THIS IS TOTES WIN-WIN.


    My co-worker saw Michael Cera at Wagamama on Saturday. Damn. I’m so annoyed I didn’t find out about that show early enough to get tickets.


    @stufromoz Nice. The knitted womb pattern is pretty old, but the protest is new…


    RT @the_snook: MRRT is not a tax. It’s just making miners us pay a fair market rate for their inputs. Inputs that belong to everyone. ht …


    @stufromoz I blogged it. I’ve got too many projects on the go now to engage in protest knitting, but I’m sure others will be interested!


    @mrs_sockvictim We discussed cycling, but will probably take the GoGet car. Have to go earlyish as we have a lunch to attend after.


    GAH. 2.5 months after they lost it, @auspost have sent me my drivers license. No note. No explanation. No refund of my $25 either.


    @mrs_sockvictim Not sure if I’ll be done by then! Still some sewing up to do…


    Strata AGM makes the Knitters Guild AGM feel like a party. *sigh*


    Went to a lot of trouble this morning to get client a file that she wanted, and she replied, “Thanks Karen.” Isn’t it always the way…


    @auspost It wasn’t lost in the post. It was lost AT the post office while claiming a parcel. The clerk insisted that she’d given it back…


    @auspost …but yet now, 2.5 months later, mysteriously it turns up and is posted back to me. Long after I’ve gotten a replacement.

    Gary Taubes on bad science and that article about red meat: http://t.co/5ESrqSFp (cc @drkknits )


    @drkknits No way! Must have been a glitch in the game. It was definitely bandaid. (Unless I only THOUGH I picked bandaid???)


    @drkknits According to the game, I was drawing “werewolf.” So. I’m an idiot.

    Dear @drkknits: I’m pretty sure writing the word you want me to guess on your picture is outside the spirit of Draw Something. πŸ˜›


    @stufromoz But for some reason, Sam Sawnoff wears really high-waisted trousers. And I am nothing if not faithful to the original…


    @stufromoz Not a Magic Pudding fan? You’re missing out. You should get your Mister to read it to you at bedtime. It’s hilarious.


    @drkknits What, like a robot? Did you get overloaded or something?


    @drkknits Heh. I just draw a stickman in front of a computer with RODD and 24-7 written on it. The answer is WARCRAFT. I amuse myself.


    @drkknits Should be Bandaid, I think!!?


    Draw Something is now, like, this challenge where I see how badly I can draw and still get @kunaal84 to guess it.


    Also, you will unsurprised to learn that @kunaal84 draws a really good elephant. #notracist #iswear

    @kunaal84 @drkknits She should’ve drawn him in the shower. I’d have gotten that.


    @kunaal84 Meanwhile, my latest drawing to you is a stunning indictment of the American educational system. I have no real excuse.


    @drkknits I’m impressed you got my sombrero before I even drew a taco! (I said to Rodd: “It’s hard to draw this without being racist.”)

    @imdominating I think he really wanted to use it as excuse to get a Blue-Ray, but I shot him down when he asked me vague questions about it.


    @imdominating @Justacogitating Did you see on FB how I convinced Molly that the BBC version is the One True Adaptation? She loved it. πŸ™‚

    @sharre @the_snook He mentioned reading something about that. Due to the original film stock, apparently? It was a nice gesture though. πŸ™‚


    @MissVicki79 It’s got a 30 minute documentary, a bit about the restoration process, and the original Making Of. So that’s nice!

    @brown_note I’ve only been there for 6 weeks, and these are projects that were well into pre-production already. So not yet.


    @brown_note I don’t like producing doorstops. But right now, it’s one way of showing that the scope of these projects is WAY TOO LARGE.
