    @gusseting Hahahaha… Just saw the flag in Rav and was like, JEEZUS BEEZUS, WHAT NOW? And then I laughed and laughed. Thanks! 🙂

    Invited @kunaal84 and @lemon_lime and @j_griego over for impromptu Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow. Hm. Need more turkey.

    @gusseting Dolly’s version is better. 🙂

    @gusseting I actually opened up the Music app on my iPhone and it was ALREADY QUEUED TO THAT SONG. 😛

    Just realised that rockstar knitter Eunny Jang is in my quilting circle that’s about to start! #intimidated

    @bellsknits Sorry. It’s for MetaFilter members, and they closed it off a few weeks ago. Mostly US based…

    @binkabookitty If you were in Sydney, I’d say YES! Damn.

    My neighbours in Chippo were burgled today. Somebody pried open security bars and slipped thru front window. YIKES. (cc @mpesce)

    @rachievaichie I would too, except she’ll be sewing a block for my quilt!

    Twitter always weirds me out when I realise how many people actually watch TV live. It’s like seeing someone with an unironic Walkman.

    RT @ebertchicago: The Oatmeal on Thanksgiving, then and now. http://t.co/q65nK4PM

    So @movemberAUS pretty much forced the Prostate Cancer Foundation to reject donations from @fauxvemberAU? THAT SUCKS. EVERYONE LOSES.

    @gilmae @randomknits @knitterjp @drkknits @kunaal84 I thought it was a parable about the monstrous ickiness of motherhood, hence my interest

    @kunaal84 @drkknits I played Horrify the Twilight Noob with him. @miss_reecie was even funnier. 🙂

    @sharre Ha! Did you just read my comment, or did we both use that phrase independently? Too funny.

    I don’t get it. I’m in a bunch of online running groups. They’re uniformly awesome and welcoming. Why are so many knitters… not? #tired

    @grannyg_in_nz Haha… Never thought of that, but it makes sense. Love it! 🙂

    @randomknits My parents and siblings openly referred to my first boyfriend as “The Weenie”.

    @randomknits Rather cooled the ardour, I must say. Don’t underestimate the power of open mockery (assuming you don’t like him).

    @Opheli8 I’ve been disappointed with sloppy Kindle book conversion. Lots of missing punctuation, bad capitalisation, etc.

    @bellsknits Not dominated, but there’s definitely more of a balance. Maybe that contributes.

    Being sick at home is the killer use case for e-books. Sookie Stackhouse, let’s do this.

    @drkknits I’m starting from the beginning…

    RT @the_snook: I think if I ever open a restaurant I might need to call it “Snookie’s Snackhouse”.

    Ugh. I feel worse today. Sore throat actually woke me up in the night. 🙁

    @stufromoz I haven’t had a really bad cold in a long time. Was probably due for it. At least it’s not a super busy time, I guess.

    GoT:CoK season 2 preview: http://t.co/aKjUavhO Renly looks hot. (Attn: @drkknits @kunaal84)

    @drkknits @kunaal84 My finding him hot would’ve been conclusive proof of his gayness (if they hadn’t already shown that).

    @the_snook What, like in the movie? He doesn’t “bing” the proper way to conduct a vampire caesarian?

    @drkknits @the_snook I can do that. Shall we rope in @kunaal84?

    @chewxy $175… but matched drinks are an extra $95. Well worth it for a special occasion though!

    @chewxy Not really. I splurge at a restaurant, but no way I’d pay $2K for a heated blender. I can make risotto on the stove. 🙂

    Slept half the day yesterday. And now I have a sore throat and fever. Wiped out.

    @pussreboots Thank you! Going to rest at home today and see if I can get rid of it quickly.

    @mrs_sockvictim THAT IS AWESOME! So sad I’m going to miss it. Have fun!

    T-4 hours til @momofuku Seibo! Very excited…

    @mrs_sockvictim Sydney weather + buttercream = fail? She looked gorgeous though!

    Successfully fixed shirt I’m sewing. (Unpicked whole bias tape neckline and replaced.) Will finish it in the morning. Now to get FROCKED UP!

    @randomknits Very classy. 🙂

    We clean up nice. Next stop, casino! http://t.co/HkBIyoni

    Didn’t realise @zumbopatisserie was open at The Star. They have a dessert train! http://t.co/jLLnGDYR http://t.co/G2CTq9O4

    Took us 15 min to find it! The cool places always have no signs and are hard to find. #swingers http://t.co/UAMpBxq9 http://t.co/13jkSr5c

    Watching precision knife skills and plating at @momofuku Seibo. Excited for out first course! http://t.co/kRqO83gF

    Halfway through. Very happy. A sampling: http://t.co/nRBcxoP8 http://t.co/JigNT9ul http://t.co/9YjdVcNo http://t.co/BMhH3fnv

    The soundtrack at @momofuku Seibo is AWESOME. David Chang listens to Our Type of Music. REM, Johnny Cash, the Ramones, Metallica… awesome.

    @stufromoz Guilty as charged. Tonight, we’re amongst the 30 hippest people in Sydney, it feels like!

    Five courses to go… and @the_snook and I are totes pissed. Awesome night.

    Now we’re getting cheeky. http://t.co/02C8CZQP http://t.co/8Gaz4sGB

    Freedy Johnston? David Chang, you magnificent bastard…

    @drkknits @the_snook Every single course so far. But I’m hoping some blogger has the names, as they are all a blur now!

    @drkknits We are gearing up for the Last, which appears to be a Secret. So maybe that will be best!!

    @drkknits THE TOTAL OPPOSITE.

    Holy shit. Last course! “Petit fours” = 8hr slow-roasted pork shoulder. No cutlery. AMAZING. http://t.co/mwCPu30t

    Snook: “I can’t eat another bite or I’ll puke.” Me: “Seriously?I WANT TO TAKE A BATH IN THIS PORK.” http://t.co/B7fVINXK

    @drkknits The other couple in the corner with us = us in another dimension. Very fun.

    Yay! We get a printed menu to take home so we know what we actually ate. 🙂 http://t.co/DENZ4vCG

    And we finish the night to the strains of Tesla’s “Signs.” I haven’t heard this since 8th grade.

    Took a photo in the Star bathroom so you could see my frock-ness. And now, home to sleep… http://t.co/b4SYZ8cq

    @drkknits I will TOTES go again if you come up. 🙂

    @kunaal84 @drkknits Today’s http://t.co/ipoHGai4. Love it!

    @drkknits Yes. True. Head is tentatively okay, but I’ve yet to move it from the pillow. We’ll see.

    Started off our wedding anniversary to the sound of Brian Blessed shouting: “STRUMPET! GET UP!”

    @drkknits We have already discussed our plan to draw all the curtains and Live in a Cave today.

    Our @momofuku Seiobo recap, complete with a LOT of photos! http://t.co/foSvydCr Best dinner we’ve had in Sydney in a very long time…

    Successfully just trolled @kunaal84 while he was in a meeting. Ahhh, Friday. Is it beer o’clock yet?

    RT @the_snook: @web_goddess I’m your huckleberry. // AHHHHH!!! AHHHH!!!!!

    At the pub with @kunaal84 & @lemon_lime, AND WE ARE FREAKING OUT. DID YOU SEE THIS?? @the_snook!!!!!

    @the_snook Ahem. Twitter says you’re not following your WIFE.

    DUDE. Actual “Jeopardy” is on TV here every day?! Why wasn’t I notified! Must set MythTV to record.

    @drkknits @kunaal84 @lemon_lime @the_snook It’s him. Kunaal wasn’t sure til I pointed out he sent me a Tombstone quote. It’s him. 🙂

    @drkknits @kunaal84 @lemon_lime @the_snook He took that last night to p0wn some n00b on Warcraft with his manly tache.

    @chenchaoyi0333 Yes! Love the Blanco. 🙂

    RT @redditau: Australia suffering massive blood shortage http://t.co/ZVbVdRhp // I’m booked in for next week. You should too!

    RT @stephenfry: After 2.5 years… THE killer app has finally arrived. The Brian Blessed Alarm! http://t.co/gbKYnZIs // @the_snook Got it!

    Big brekkie. (@ Toby’s Estate Broadway) [pic]: http://t.co/JiuMcZQG

    @stufromoz @mpesce Wait, what? Kerry O’Brien is here, sitting at the next table!

    @mpesce Are you at the other Toby’s? We’re at the one by Broadway and he’s sitting 5 feet away!

    @stufromoz There are two Toby’s in Chippo. I think he left @mpesce’s and came to ours!

    @stufromoz They opened one recently right opposite shopping centre entrance, 80 Bay St. By EB Games. Bigger kitchen, more coffees!

    Having brekkie at Toby’s… right next to Kerry O’Brien! #starstruck

    @drkknits I was tempted but decided to play it cool… 🙂

    What the hell! Just discovered that one of my blog posts had 20K+ hits from stumbleupon yesterday. Wowzers!!

    @Leirith Unfortunately I had nothing to do with it. Post wasn’t even original content – just an embedded YouTube video! Oh well.

    @witty_knitter The random YouTube embed of the video about tying scarves. Not even my content!

    Just got presale Dresdon Doll tickets for Sydney! Thanks @knitterjp for hooking us up. 🙂

    @KathrynElliott If he’s anything like my brother or my nephew, an iTunes gift card is appreciated.

    @KathrynElliott Nah, they use ’em to buy apps and games for their iPod Touch. Lego is good too though!

    @brown_note A random YouTube video I found of a woman tying a scarf 25 different ways. Weird, huh?

    Anybody knitting at M&S to tonight? @knitterjp @mrs_sockvictim @AusVintageGrrl

    @brown_note It was such a recent post, I didn’t even have ads on it! Oh well. (Ads only show on archives. Might have to fix that now.)

    Evaporated milk procured. Oh yes, pumpkin pie will be happening tonight!

    Welcome to Marlboro country. #movember #swoon http://t.co/RWUcOa5Y

    @witty_knitter You don’t know the nagging, wheedling, and cajoling that is happening here. I AM GIVING IT MY BEST.

    @witty_knitter He’s over $200! I am yelling at him now! THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN, SNOOK. #snookneedstotweet

    The Stumbleupon firehose is still going. Close to 40K blog visits in two days. Nuts. Just for an embedded YouTube video!

    My friend Fei is leaving our company tomorrow, so I baked him a pumpkin pie. (And one for Snook.) http://t.co/eorPVyat

    @amandapalmer Some of us are both! I’m like a Reese’s Cup: Hey! You got some Australian in my American! (Got tix today for Syd show!)

    @drkknits Nobody’s awake yet, weirdo! Why are you buying doily patterns at the butt crack of dawn?

    Hahaha… Just got quote from accountant for some US tax stuff. It’s DOUBLE the high end of what I was considering paying. They’re dreaming.

    Ugh. Pregnancy test is not how I planned to start my Friday. (NO, don’t get excited. Doc is making me as prereq for getting a shot.)

    It was negative. Told you not to get excited.

    Snook thinks I should’ve put my hair in big rollers for the proper effect. #dolly http://t.co/VrMd0ikv

    Pumpkin Pie seemed to be a big hit today!

    Trying to find somebody willing/stupid enough to see the Twilight movie with me. I think I’ve convinced @kunaal84!

    @drkknits @kunaal84 The reviews actually make me want to go more. It’s better if it’s cheesy.

    @kunaal84 BUT WHAT IF IT’S A VAMPIRE HUMAN HYBRID, HUH?

    @drkknits @kunaal84 Okay, the “Kris is having a vampire baby” tangent is clearly my fault. NOT TRUE. RESCINDED.

    @drkknits @kunaal84 Hm. I wonder if Viking Eric can have babies…

    @drkknits @kunaal84 IT WAS MY DREAM FIRST. GET YOUR OWN, KYLIE

    @drkknits @kunaal84 I think it’s understood that you get Jon Snow and any ensuing hybrid human-warg babies. Right?

    @drkknits @kunaal84 I’m not in a rush. You wanna come up on the weekend?

    @redambition @kunaal84 Because it was kind of hilarious seeing him scarred by Black Swan last year. His mental anguish is my amusement.

    @kunaal84 @redambition NOT GONNA HAPPEN, DUDE. Besides, you’d probably just call it “Sachin” or something like that.

    @drkknits @kunaal84 @redambition I figured you’d go with a number, like George Costanza’s “Seven.” Hm. “Ninety-nine Ramchandani”…? 🙂

    @randomknits Ooh, I want tweets advising how cheesetastic it is!

    RT @latikambourke: Picture of President Obama’s message to Australia in the PM’s visitors book. http://t.co/qhv7Afq6

    @randomknits So wait, we get the birth in part 1? Where does the story break?

    A soggy, grey day demands bright red tights (and matching lippie). @ MobileEmbrace http://t.co/uftehuBg

    @drkknits You were right. It’s a very blue-based red, and it comes out quite pinky on my legs.

    @Opheli8 I was tempted to go purple. I got purple too.

    @kunaal84 Oh no! Get thee to a masseuse or physio, stat.

    @gilmae @drkknits You’d think that, but no. Women often distinguish between “cool” (blue-based) reds and “warm” (yellow-based) reds.

    @gilmae @drkknits It’s mostly mystifying to me. My mother-in-law thinks I should have my “colours done” so I know what to wear.

    @drkknits @gilmae He’s being a computer nerd. 🙂

    @drkknits @gilmae It’s the ones in the olden days that were considered safe to use on the web: http://t.co/21G59i4U

    RT @sthcrft: How did I not notice Minecraft was out for iOS today????? http://t.co/r62rx1jF

    @randomknits Ahh, okay. I actually stopped reading just past the imprinting scene. Just couldn’t take it anymore. So the ending will be new!

    @randomknits @drkknits I have a different definition of “action” (i.e. I stopped when I finally got to them doing it as vampires). 🙂

    @randomknits @drkknits I really have to see it, then. Unfortunately @kunaal84 has hurt his back, so he may not go. Or maybe painkillers FTW?

    @knitterjp @mrs_sockvictim That’s the place I was looking at last week. Amazon has it too; was going to work out which was cheaper…

    @Gin_ev_ra @knitterjp @mrs_sockvictim The Swedish stuff you can actually sew together into a muslin to check fitting.

    @randomknits Ooh. You know, when you sew things, you should link to patterns for us n00bs. 🙂

    Arguing with the Snook about OS developers who don’t include good documentation. I think it’s a deliberate attempt to ostracise n00bs.

    He thinks I should just be grateful for free stuff, and accept that I should have to tinker to get things to work.

    I’m not saying there should be a law or anything. But if you don’t include good documentation, I’m allowed to think you’re a jerk.

    RT @kunaal84: http://t.co/31S7rtps – Community off air indefinitely?! say it isnt so! // YOU GOT ME HOOKED, YOU PUSHER, AND NOW I’M SAD.

    My tour of the Great Gay Icons with @gadgetgirl70 continues this evening with DOLLY PARTON’s concert in Sydney. Can’t wait!

    @imdominating If she sings Islands in the Stream, Grandma Veva will be able to hear me squealing all the way back in Indiana!

    @knitdra @knitabulous Gay icons everywhere, and it’s not even Mardi Gras!

    On a packed, hot train to Olympic Park. Dolly better be worth it!

    @DebTeakle Not yet. Bogans on the train blaring R&B and singing along. *sigh*

    Made it to the Olympic Park train at Lidcombe. I am seeing a lot of fabulous gay boys, and a LOT of cowboy boots.

    Kylie Kwong just passed me on the train. Wouldn’t have pegged her as a Dolly fan!

    I got to see Dolly perform Rocky Top. Cross that one off the Bucket List!!

    Dolly was amazing! Living legend all the way. @ Acer Arena http://t.co/fso1eGUi

    @knitabulous Amazing. Exactly as you imagine.

    Islands in the stream, that is what we are… (Amy: “You know ALL the words!” Me: “It’s my favourite song EVER!”) http://t.co/Ap2ukoAH

    @traceyh I like them, in a retro ironic way. My aunt has a silver one with a colored light changer you shine from below. Christmas on Mars!

    Holy crap! I made a shirt with actual sleeves! I figured it out! And my embiggening hack worked too! http://t.co/EUeBPdh5

    Holy crap! I made a shirt with sleeves! I figured it out! And it fits! And my embiggening hack worked too! #danceofjoy http://t.co/sdCJeuYX

    ARGH! Stupid cheapass Spotlight bias binding MELTED when I ironed it! Have to unpick while neckline and redo. 🙁

    @rachievaichie That was the original plan, but it’s striped so my sewing buddies thought a solid would work better. Must rethink.

    My nephew Kurt made an awesome sign to keep people from bothering the cats during our Halloween party. http://t.co/jSKh0taa
