    Ate a tiny bit of birthday cake out of social obligation. It was awesome. Now counting down til the sugar crash…


    @witty_knitter YOU’VE AWAKENED THE BEAST! (The last time I mentioned the s-word in a tweet, I got followed a lot of Those People. *shudder*)


    @chrisgander So wait, are you inviting current employees too? Then you should add @kunaal84 and @rajsingh2505. 🙂


    @chrisgander Oh wait, it’s on the 16th? I don’t think I can make it then. That’s my birthday weekend…


    @chrisgander We’re definitely going out Saturday night. But may end up doing something Friday too. I’ve put “maybe” for now.


    @Kat13v @witty_knitter The day I make a living by selling $14 novelty hole punches is the day I jump off the Harbour Bridge.


    I discovered it *is* possible to eat #paleo at Pancakes on the Rocks. http://t.co/VZpRimXO


    @heathergracious Ooh. I am very, very tempted.


    @heathergracious Guy next to me had those. They looked good too!


    RT @jezfletcher: It’s David Foster Wallace’s birthday. I’m celebrating it the traditional way by not having finished reading Infinite Jest.


    These damn socks just aren’t growing. #neverending #knitting http://t.co/it0hWjzF


    @kcarruthers I switched to Telstra from Optus & I’m very happy. Asked them to match old Optus plan and they gave me unadvertised deal!


    Planning to bake cookies for my coworkers tomorrow. On a related note, somewhere in India @kunaal84 is weeping…


    @drkknits Aren’t you supposed to be doing something with dogs?


    RT @Colgo: Chief of staff just pointed out the ballot is on at the same time as the Oscars #kevenge // EEP! MY OSCAR CONTEST!

    @RadhikaR Not specifically Runkeeper… it’s the GPS. On long runs, I turn off *everything* else. I could squeeze 3-4 hrs from it that way.


    @RadhikaR Should clarify that’s on my iPhone 4. Not sure about Android, but friends have complained to me about RK on that.


    @SallyPompom @witty_knitter No PMT and no migraines here. No periods at all! Love my Depo Provera. 🙂


    RT @SallyPompom: Follow the Knitters’ Guild of NSW @KnitGuildNSW // SERIOUSLY??!


    What a nice surprise! My friend @ocherdraco sent me a postcard w/ a sweet vintage knitting book cover. Thanks Margaret! http://t.co/QpoanO3m


    SONOFA. I appear to have somehow got a mozzie bite on the sole of my foot.


    @witty_knitter It itches! It itches to WALK! Halp!


    @carowenzel Seems Sydney has gone bunting mad. The Knitters Guild will have knitted bunting on display at the Easter Show. 🙂


    @Opheli8 @chrisgander @VenessaHunt At the risk of sounding like a sensitive flower – I agree – depends on who all is going. Otherwise I’m in

    @mrs_sockvictim @knitabulous Eep. I did one spin class 10 years ago, and it nearly killed me. Never again.


    @drkknits You ate too many carbs on the weekend. Round 2 of carb flu! (We’re having it too.)


    @witty_knitter @drkknits That definitely doesn’t help. But detoxing from sugar and starch is a very common source of tiredness & crankiness.


    Australia has some weird-ass chickens. http://t.co/LSKRr2Wf


    @witty_knitter Just because there haven’t been a lot of studies, doesn’t mean it’s not true. Some evidence: http://t.co/ZHYkTgGS


    I stand corrected on the chickens. Apparently silkies aren’t specific to Australia. They have weird-ass chickens everywhere.


    @witty_knitter Yes. Did you miss the part where you linked to some and discussed their shortcomings?


    @web_goddess Rather, where he linked to some.


    @witty_knitter You’re not being scientific, you’re being passive-aggressive! We’re not talking homeopathy here. I’ve done the reading.


    @witty_knitter The guy sells a book, not a meal plan. How about this one? http://t.co/6pN7nhPd Lots of studies on carbs and mood.


    @witty_knitter


    @witty_knitter Ahh, well good thing @drkknits and I aren’t trying to persuade you to join us then. 🙂


    @witty_knitter I think you are seeing this as a “Someone is wrong on the internet” situation, but it’s cool. I know the args for & against.

    @witty_knitter @drkknits Nice! Which one?


    @drkknits @witty_knitter I made this in the crock pot today: http://t.co/uMSQkohI


    @witty_knitter @drkknits We had pumpkin and corn. Pumpkin is primal; corn is a sometimes food. 🙂


    Clearly, @eileenDCoE made a pact with the devil. The Sydney rain held off til she got back to Melbourne, and it’s been bucketing ever since.


    @Ezzles You mean Murray from Clueless was on Scrubs. (“Cause I’m keepin it real!”)


    @eileenDCoE There are flash floods all over the place! Big booming thunder too.

    Woot! Taking tire off is way easier than I thought. (Also, somehow I’m covered in way more grease than everybody else.) http://t.co/efRrG630


    Here’s @the_snook being all manly with the bike maintenance. http://t.co/LfNfYJwU


    Took my friend @eileenDCoE and two of her Melbourne mates to @DoTheDip last night. They loved it! Jug of Watermelon Fizz was a hit.


    RT @andrewsayer: Watch “Kevin Rudd is a Happy Little Vegemite” on YouTube http://t.co/KqyEgUqk


    Eating my first ever kipper for breakfast. Hm. I’m not sure I like this. (It was @the_snook’s idea.)


    @drkknits @mrs_sockvictim NO WAY. How cool! But $50 for a show at the Manning Bar? WTF. Totally hipster to overpay, I guess.


    @drkknits @mrs_sockvictim Also, yest I found a sweet outdoor table/chair set. We were looking at it when Rodd said: “It needs a bird on it.”

    The attitude of some Knitters Guild members reminds me of SNL’s Old Glory Insurance. Beware the Internet! And robots. http://t.co/vQ2Im0KJ


    @drkknits I’ve been tweeting with you all damn day! Give me some credit! 😛


    It’s Friday and it’s summer, and my hair is finally long enough to plait. Good day. http://t.co/fCK0hsey #pose @Gap


    Am I wrong, or does @pose force users clicking FB links on mobile to install the app to see my photos? That sucks!


    @Kat13v @pose Not just mobile. On desktop too, apparently. My friend is disappointed, as am I.


    @drkknits @Kat13v @pose It used to link to a web view (like Instagram). I don’t like walled gardens. Going to cancel my account, I think.


    @zephyrama Where? I love these. It’s like Swedish crime fiction to me.


    @imdominating Nice one! Also, was it Elton John?


    Had my first beers in a long time tonight to celebrate one month at the new job. They tasted GREAT.


    Spotted on Broadway tonight. #hipsters http://t.co/802PToqn


    So full of tapas and beer and chorizo and patatas and prawns and calamari and mushrooms… Carb coma impending. Bliss.


    @mrs_sockvictim Nope, not yet. And I just woke up. 🙂


    Bicycle maintenance course. Time to learn to change a tire! (@ Sydney Park C.A.R.E.S. Facility) [pic]: http://t.co/7CLRO1vE


    @traveller0112 Awww, thanks! 🙂

    Knitters: Am I crazy, or does Daniel Radcliffe’s cool fairisle cardigan look like the motif was knitted inside out?? http://t.co/dgOKStVg


    @witty_knitter @betsybookworm I like it too! I’ve always liked look of neat stranding, just never seen it used as a design feature before!


    @gusseting Apparently it’s a Nancy Bush thing. @miss_reecie did an actual course with her on it!


    Looking forward to catching up with @eileenDCoE this weekend when she visits Sydney!


    @witty_knitter @drkknits So my plan to have all the Camp teachers be ROBOTS is out then, huh?


    @drkknits Well, Android does tend to get excessively “manly” in its advertising tone. If its not pink, probably ain’t aimed at us girls.


    And that, my friends, was a TEN HOUR WORKDAY. Phew. I don’t think I’ve worked this hard in a long time. My brain is tired!


    @gilmae Pretty much. Trying hard to impress everybody. Probably going to burn myself out!


    @gilmae Well, today was meeting a deadline. Special case. I think I can ease up a bit now, thank goodness…


    @Linda_Moore I’ll find a link for you…


    @Linda_Moore Had to grab the URL off Facebook directly… http://t.co/CXNhJ4f3

    @the_snook I don’t know. They’re so SQUEAKY. When did kids get so squeaky? They, like, hurt my ears. #grump


    @witty_knitter @the_snook Huh. No, I could hear them pretty darn well! (It’s low frequencies like Snook’s voice that I have trouble with.)


    @witty_knitter @drkknits I like how it has GAG right in the middle. It’s like the sound my brain makes when I’m sitting there.


    @venks79 Hahaha… But dropping buzzwords like that is the foundation for my entire career! 😛


    @handmethepanda I do! I am a numbering freak.


    @Linda_Moore I saw one on FB for librarians!


    RT @wired: Game of Thrones Valentines Slay Hearts http://t.co/XBLwNGkk // Attention @drkknits @kunaal84


    If I rode my bike, I would’ve been at work 20 minutes ago. Instead I’ll be sitting on George St for another 30. I hate you, Sydney Buses.


    @BendalongMorgan Because I have an injured knee, and walking the 5K yesterday didn’t help it. Bus is my only option right now.

    The Snook bought me a shiny red heart-shaped paleo-approved Valentine’s Day treat. @ Dawes Point http://t.co/6wqQhnfF


    @twelveeyes Hahaha… I’ll tell him next year = offal. 🙂


    @twelveeyes I thought maybe a waxed red cheese! Squashed a bit for the shape, maybe. 🙂


    @supercres I am incapable of reading/hearing that quote without responding “Then I’LL SEE YOU IN HELL!”


    Wow. Australia has a fun run where you can RACE A STEAM TRAIN. http://t.co/H6yNOCT0 How did I not know this?


    @twelveeyes Harsh! Im speaking more as a runner who is well aware of the big running events in the country. They need better PR!


    Five little kids on the bus near me, giggling and shrieking. See, this is why in America kids ride separate school buses.


    RT @neilhimself: Cheap Neverwhere ebook. It’s $2.99 for Nook and Kindle today. (Links at http://t.co/u3QzyszK) #cheap! // $14.27 in Oz. 🙁


    In honour of Jeff Winger, I am listening to Barenaked Ladies all day today.

    W00t. First paycheck from new job!


    The Snook made truffle butter last night to accompany our beef roast. As always, it made me think: WHY DON’T WE EAT THIS EVERY DAY? #paleo


    @betsybookworm Basically just eating low carb. Meat, fish, veg/fruit, nuts & fat. No grains, sugar, potatoes. More like cavemen would eat!


    @betsybookworm Mark’s Daily Apple is a site with lots of info. I’ll write my own blog post about it soon…


    @betsybookworm Not really doing it for weight loss. For me, grains and starches make me feel BAD and hungry. Protein makes me feel good!


    Huh. The SMH ran a short article about paleo a few months ago: http://t.co/6Tq2qZYE (cc @betsybookworm @drkknits)


    @betsybookworm Oh right, he’s doing some sort of upgrade. Check it out later. I’m not quite as fanatical as he is though! Moderation is key.


    @betsybookworm It’s hard to cut the cord on grains entirely. I can only do it because I now know exactly how bad they make me feel.


    @zephyrama @betsybookworm In an ideal world, I’d live on fresh warm bread. But in reality, that’s how I got to 100+kg. 🙁


    Evidence for wheat being evil: http://t.co/I4GIXRo2. “2 slices of whole wheat bread increase blood sugar…higher… than a candy bar” YOWZA


    @betsybookworm @zephyrama I remember the day I worked out that a Bourke St Bakery personal sourdough has 14 WW points. Seriously depressing.


    @betsybookworm @zephyrama Considering I used to buy one as soon as I got off the bus and EAT THE WHOLE THING MYSELF.


    @venks79 As long as your missus is okay with that! 🙂


    @miss_reecie SUCKED IN!


    I seem to have spawned some massive food discussions. Eep. Sorry, I was just waxing rhapsodic about truffle butter, really. 🙂


    @witty_knitter Bah. Moral relativism is for wusses. When I am Supreme Empress of the world, there will definitely be Good & Bad foods.


    @witty_knitter You might as well say there’s no good or bad graffiti knitting! or scrapbooking! or crochet! YOU’RE DESTROYING SOCIETY!


    @betsybookworm It’s a touchy subject for some. I don’t get why some people seem to get personally offended that I eat low carb!


    @MissVicki79 @betsybookworm I’m pretty sure I worked it out by weight. I was the Hermione of WW, back in the day.


    @drkknits *puts hand up* DO YOU LEARN NOTHING FROM ME?


    Huh. This is the second office I’ve been in where dudes will apply deodorant at their desks. I have never seen a woman do this, ever.


    @witty_knitter Can we agree that those are Bad People? 🙂


    Woo! Just got my new funky business cards. I feel all official! @ Sitback Solutions http://t.co/7SV4vtEC

    @toastman We noticed. We were sitting like 5 rows behind you this morning. 🙂


    @toastman No worries. We were just glad to see you out and about. Hope all is well. (Ugh. Sharepoint?)

    @witty_knitter @drkknits @Yarna_ @SandraHW I am the only non-bunter left in the world, it seems!
