    @voicework Evidently not in tiny backwater elementary schools in Indiana in the 80’s. I ended up with a trumpet, which at least was LOUD. 🙂


    Halloween Pumpkin Price Watch: $19.99 at Costco. I get why they’re $$, but I just can’t. http://t.co/FojUrzMA


    Jamie’s 30 Min Meals #34: Meatball Sandwich, Pickled Cabbage, Chopped Salad, & Banana Ice Cream. http://t.co/KCn0oYpT Good but not awesome.


    @CleaSR From the book? I don’t know of a chicken Maryland meal in here. Was it the Cypriot chicken? We liked that one.


    @randomknits Drugs? I had my GP prescribe me some drugs for when I have too many of those nights in a row.


    @randomknits I get temazepam, but I had to promise to only take rarely and never with alcohol. (It’s highly habit-forming.) Works for me.


    @witty_knitter @randomknits Nah, I went nuclear. My biggest problem is waking up a lot during the night. Does valerian work for that?


    I wish I was a bus driver… so I could see if smoothly accelerating and decelerating is as difficult as this jackass makes it out to be.


    @redambition Both Rodd and I have had it crash once each. #anecdata


    @liedra Well, I think you’ll find the word is French. And they pronounce it like the Yanks. 🙂


    @betsybookworm Eh, that’s the kind of wrongheaded thinking that leads to people typing “WAH-LAH” in Internet forums.


    @betsybookworm “Voila” is a French word that people also spell/pronounce incorrectly. “Fill-it” sounds just as wrong to my ears as “wah-lah”


    @betsybookworm @liedra Eh, I’m mostly prescriptivist so I’ll go with that. I still think “fill-it” sounds weird tho, even after 10 years. 🙂

    Frocktober #15. Gap dress, urban art. @ Chippendale http://t.co/LYvKY8RX


    Happy birthday @Opheli8! (@ Xanthi) http://t.co/u4UYxrb5


    I just unlocked the “16 Candles” badge on @foursquare! http://t.co/HPGgtZ4E


    Me and the Snook. It’s like a big tent in here. @ Xanthi http://t.co/c99EwXXI


    It’s @Opheli8 and @DDsD! Happy birthday Mija!! (Greek food coma is about to set in…)


    @witty_knitter I’m wearing makeup. People only ever compliment me when I wear it. There is a depressing lesson there.


    @lemon_lime Yay! Just SMSed you my address again. Does your phone work these days??


    @imdominating BWAHAHAHAHA….

    Amazingly gorgeous day for a run. AND we ran past Russell Crowe! Too bad I was the only one who recognised him. http://t.co/MJs1vdwA


    @rachievaichie My friend @rajsingh2505 ran with me BAREFOOT! Now that’s crazy. 🙂


    Frocktober #14. The Diner Dress. (I am the Cindy Sherman of the office now.) http://t.co/BIIju13H


    @drkknits YOU WANNA SEE?


    @traveller0112 I had two co-workers ask for French fries first thing this morning. 🙂


    RT @digg: 50%+ of women are attracted to other women http://t.co/Kbzs2kK4 // Is this why all my Tweeps flirt with me? (cc @witty_knitter)


    Just successfully blog-stalked @grabyourfork at the Abercrombie Hotel. At last we meet! 🙂


    @toastman @witty_knitter Oh, I was talking’ about the ladies. I’m Very Big with the Internet Lesbians. Mutual adoration society. 🙂


    From the Snook: “Halloween came early at Establishment. A lot of women going with the standard “slutty X” theme. But they forgot the X.”


    @randomknits Awww! I don’t want it to be a stressor! It’s not a big deal, really.


    @gusseting Ha! I admit I am weakening in the face of a couple offers. Not nuffnang though. Never nuffnang.


    WHAT THE HELL. Just realised that the Run4Fun is the weekend I’m away in Victoria. HOW DID THAT HAPPEN.

    @drkknits Where’s your conference? You free for lunch? @kunaal84 and I could meet up with you in the park or something…


    @drkknits It’s a bit of a hike. We’re in Westfield building on William St. I was thinking of popping into DJ’s tho to look for US candy! 🙂


    @drkknits Yes, I will definitely pop in! Can’t stay to knit, but I will visit. 🙂


    Wanted to make Nutter Butter Ghosts for Halloween, but can’t find Nutter Butters ANYWHERE. All the US food importers are sold out. 🙁


    @lemon_lime Are you okay? Hope it went well!


    @sthcrft It’s not just the taste; the shape makes them look like ghosts when you coat them. Homemade would be tasty but wrong shape.


    @sthcrft Given that I don’t have a peanut shaped cookie cutter, I mean.


    @randomknits I have that problem. We solved it many years ago by just going to a fancy dinner instead. Win-win.


    @benjamin_payne Nope. They exist, and they’re wonderful. *sigh* But Australians’ aversion to peanut butter based snacks is my undoing.


    @sthcrft I know. It was just the cleverness (and laziness) of these that appealed to me: http://t.co/evzYBjdM


    Frocktober #13. Peach dress, Chuck Taylors, levitation. @ Hyde Park http://t.co/PL9ViZ39


    @kunaal84 In America, with ALL THE OTHER STUFF THAT MAKES YOU FAT. 😛


    @mrs_sockvictim I was just opening that to see if there were any changes…


    Interesting! Separate class for socks, and lace now combined into one (no more stupid plant/animal distinction). #EasterShow2012


    Ooh, JACQUARD class? Hey, I think that introduced that just for Zena’s cardy with the birds! #EasterShow2012


    @mrs_sockvictim It’s a whole separate category. I’m about to do a Rav post on it.


    @drkknits @knitdra SHHHHH! TOP SECRET!


    @drkknits What the-? She only smooched two boys in her whole damn life!


    @drkknits What what? Did we not have the Women’s Movement?! TELL JANE I AM GOING TO WEAR A GODDAMN MINI TOMORROW IN HER HONOR.


    @gilmae @drkknits I’ll confess that’s the voice I heard in my brain when I wrote it.


    @Ezzles Sure… But only if she’s awesome! 🙂


    @drkknits No. *Somebody* sent me an SMS my steak would be cold if I didn’t hurry home. So I hurried. 🙂


    This has been the fastest week ever. Seriously. It can’t be nearly Friday. Did we skip some days? Feels so short. Right, @venks79?


    RT @tammybutow: This is the greatest hair of all time <3 having blue hair was fun. http://t.co/lVEKQZV1 // That’s AWESOME.


    RT @AmeliaBurton: I feel very lucky to live in Sydney today. She is looking like a sparkling bedazzled jewel. TGIF!!


    @Opheli8 Yay! I’m going to OCCUPY YOUR BIRTHDAY too. (The best movements are the ones that involve pork belly baklava.)


    @drkknits The next Red Hat Linux release is codenamed “Beefy Miracle.” @lemon_lime suggested they should’ve called it Skarsgard instead. 🙂

    In case any of you are still looking for Halloween costumes: http://t.co/lfiuBqgq. “Sexy Inflammatory Email” is my fave.


    Frocktober #12. Hipster with a robot skirt and guitar. @ Westfield Towers http://t.co/acd82TqG


    @voicework I wanted to in school, but the music teacher said my hands were too small. I wish my dad had told get to get stuffed!


    @taradefrancisco Damn. I miss Old Navy. Decent cheap clothes just don’t exist here! Hence I always take empty suitcase to US to fill up.


    Every day the office cleaner moves my waste basket a little farther away. I don’t mind. I just pretend I’m playing Bozo’s Grand Prize Game.


    @theadrianflores I’m disappointed because my first thought was that it was a MONKEY WOLF, some sort of scary awesome hybrid. Too bad.


    @jannism WHAT?! But Swinton is a fabulous androgynous fashion alien from the future! How can you not like that?


    @jannism Granted, I never hear her speak. I just see her in fashion mags, where she looks like an alien. She may well be super annoying.


    @jannism Nope.

    Just reminding folks to let me know if you haven’t RSVPed for Halloween… (Shopping list planning happening this weekend!)


    @chrisgander It’s technically the 31st, so the weekend after this coming one.


    @imdominating Someday. Someday. (Sadly, you are one of the few people that might conceivably identify Rodd’s costume.)


    Coming to grips with the reality that, as a runner, I will never not have weird tan lines.


    @discoknitter If you like! We will definitely have some vego stuff available (baked beans, guac & veg, mushroom sarnie, etc).


    Frocktober #11. Heartbreaker dress, cheesecake pose. @ Westfield Towers http://t.co/zkLknS8r


    RT @131500buses: Union action disruption: buses will still run everywhere but with gaps in services. Expect congestion, queueing and del …


    @kunaal84 You’re HOME already? Gahhh. I haven’t even left yet. 🙁


    @snarkyboojum Hm, no good? Haven’t tried it.


    Just ordered my dream boots from Amazon. Seriously, I have coveted these boots for over a decade. http://t.co/p6hvq7P7


    @knitabulous WTF is a white card course? Had to google it.


    I stayed up way too late reading book 2 of the Hunger Games last night. RIDICULOUS. (Both the book, and staying up late.) #yawn


    @lotsofco The 2nd one is already pissing me off. I love that the friggin’ President shows up to weigh in on the love triangle. *eyeroll*

    Frocktober #10. I call this ensemble “Date Night with Captain Kirk.” http://t.co/4tJQC5aH


    @mrs_sockvictim Nice! Ooh, and white?!


    If you’re gonna hire an arborist, you might as well go with the one called “Dr. Treegood.” (I’m serious. That’s their actual name.)


    @Justacogitating Don’t google “Inspector Gadget Penny.” Ask me how I know. 🙁


    @eileenDCoE Yikes! I don’t think they have punny names. That would be… bad.


    @misswired Sadly not his REAL name, just the business name. 🙂


    Nothing like getting a work email at 9pm that makes you YELL OUT LOUD IN FRUSTRATION.


    @bowenvale321 I wish. This was an urgent thing I needed the UK team to do tonight. They pretty much want, “Nah, do not want.”


    A cute cyclist dinged his bell at me. Of course, I’m married to him. And I was in his way.

    Hey, my trainer Spudds is quoted in the SMH today! Yep, that’s exactly how he talks. http://t.co/3qKWlQaO


    Spur-of-the-moment frock shopping in Newtown. Channeling my inner Joan Holloway… http://t.co/sFup5xYB


    @gilmae I’m planning a Pumpkin Pie Pavlova, a hybrid that – I must confess – the Snook is strongly against. But I persevere.


    @zephyrama @randomknits @witty_knitter @GeorgieKnits Thanks guys! I *did* buy it. applepiefashions.com. Great designs & service!


    @randomknits LOVE the ruffle!


    @zephyrama Don’t think they’re up yet. All frocks retro-ish. She designs; sewn in China. Fully lined, very nice. Mine $120 on sale for $96


    Points on the board! GO THE AUSSIES! (What? I watch rugby.) #RWC


    @drkknits Translated: “You’re not up yourself.” 🙂


    I feel like our team’s uniforms should be tighter. That’s my only meaningful observation so far, really. #rwc2011


    @knitabulous @drkknits But I’m knitting! And drinking wine! Doesn’t that earn me back some Moral Superiority Points?


    @knitabulous @drkknits Although I probably lose them every time there’s a vicious tackle and I hoot at the screen like a Morlock.


    @drkknits @knitabulous It’s from Literatcha, don’t you know! #cultured


    I had no idea that hairy guy from “The Hangover” played rugby for NZ. #RWc2011


    @knitabulous @drkknits Have you met Amy Farrah Fowler yet? My fave character. LOVE HER. (Also, Runkeeper voice sounds like her!)


    @knitabulous @drkknits Awww. We’re your Besties though!


    @knitabulous @drkknits Oh no! That sucks. We’ll miss you… 🙁


    @drkknits @knitabulous Just started watching Community, which @kunaal84 recommended & lent to us. Liking it a lot!


    I have not been following our team much prior to this. I get the feeling this Quade Cooper guy is divisive. Am I meant to like him? #RW2011


    I don’t really understand what’s happening, but I am PISSED OFF. #rwc2011


    That Kiwi dude just punched our dude in the face! WTF. #RW2011


    Whoa. That Kiwi dude is, like, ENTIRELY TAPED TOGETHER under his shirt. #rcw2011


    Full credit to the hairy man with the silly name. Piri Weepu has kicked our ass, well and truly.


    @gilmae We are in agreement. My delectable monster must live!


    So this is what the office looks like at 8:30am on a Monday…

    Should have gone for a run today, but using my sore pinky toe as an excuse to, uh, not.


    @steven_noble WHAT????


    Halloween Pumpkin Price Watch Update: $4/kg at Coles Broadway. I still held off buying. http://t.co/sba3ZM3u


    @discoknitter If I can get a decent one for $10, I’m going for it. Let me know!


    @traceyh Yikes!!


    YOU GUYS. My Mom is within minutes of running her first marathon! Please cheer her on! #gosusie!!


    Haha, whoops. It’s her first HALF-marathon. Still a big deal. #gosusie! You can do it!!


    @venks79 She finished in 2:37:29! I told you she’d beat us! That’s only 30s off my PR from a few years ago…


    @traveller0112 Neat! We visited there in July 2010. Tour was a little boring; a gala sounds more fun!


    Congrats to my Mom, Joe, and John for finishing the Indianapolis Half-Marathon! You guys did awesome.

    I’m not even a real project manager, but I have to say, I’m KILLING IT today. *pats self on back*


    @drkknits @imdominating Now even the Snook is sending me Hot Skarsgard links: http://t.co/2ZKqLsaz


    Frocktober #9. There is a fine line between Manic Pixie Dream Girl and Homeless. http://t.co/no4toLv9


    I’m at Wagamama (49 Lime St., King St. Wharf, Darling Harbour) http://t.co/3N8ta48X


    You know how I joked last night about my toe being broken? Yeah, pretty sure it actually is. Still painful and now turning purple!


    @thisismywww I have a lot of running planned in the next 6 weeks. 🙁


    @thisismywww My sensitivity to NSAIDs will make that difficult. Might consult my GP. I have marathon training starting soon!


    @mrs_sockvictim Eveleigh Markets? We’re heading over soon…


    Alas, poor Yorick. His skull is meant for my Halloween centrepiece. http://t.co/2ltdMu9P
