New shoes! Purple. http://twitpic.com/2k3ejc I’m a little unsure about the double-tongues though…

---

@getupgo Bristol Palin? 😀

---

@venks79 You’re gonna kill @kunaal84 at this rate! 😛

---

@kunaal84 Yep, I got it. He’s coming over in a bit to pick it up. 🙂

---

Proof of crochet: http://twitpic.com/2k7oyz

---

@tinkabel Nah, I’ve tried to get my head around crochet for years. I find knitting MUCH easier.

---

@gusseting Zigzag afghan. It’s just folded around in that pic. I just figured out my chain was too tight though. Debating frogging.

---

I’m off to visit the 3rd graders at Willoughby Public School and tell them all about Roald Dahl. Fun!

---

RT @seanchadwick: Good news for GetUpGo: http://bit.ly/9BESVW

---

Fellow Knit Campers: Any of you get some of that purple Shadow Tweed you’re willing to part with? My afghan is growing….

---

Phew. Survived my performance appraisal with @venks79. Such a taskmaster! 😛

---

@kunaal84 Well, *I’ll* be there. I’m not so sure about *you*. 🙂

---

Anyone else wanna see Savion Glover @ the Opera House? (Time to break out my CD of Bring in Da Noise Bring in Da Funk.) http://bit.ly/9WfGNz

---

Snook made me watch The Guild. Even after years of him playing Warcraft, I still only understood like half of it.

---

Crochet is happening, people. IT’S HAPPENING!

---

I don’t mean “it’s happening” in the sense that it’s, like, cool or anything. I just mean it’s OCCURRING. I’m not that crazy.

---

Look who I ran into on the bus! It’s @Opheli8! Fun. She’s a sorta-neighbor now…

---

It would have been cooler if I’d attached the photo of me and @Opheli8… http://twitpic.com/2jsfky

---

@knitterjp I did! Thank you…

---

@sharre And @kunaal84, but I don’t think you’ve met him yet…

---

Going to see Joss Whedon. Snook’s decided to wear red Sheldon pants and Three Keyboard Cat Moon shirt. “Nerds – they’re my people!” he says.

---

@Opheli8 SupaCenta is like level 5 of Inception.

---

Swarm? Come on mah nerds! (@ Sydney Opera House w/ @daniellewarby) http://4sq.com/67UmdR

---

@Kat13v @EclecticRose1 @sharre I’m up for that!! Say the word…

---

Joss was great! But man, some serious nerds in that audience. I mean, yeah, we like Buffy, but we can still FUNCTION in SOCIETY. o_O

---

Thanks to everyone who offered washing machine advice. We ordered the F&P frontload washer and condensing dryer stacking combo!

---

Holy hell. I’m crocheting.

---

@thisismywww I’ve lost my knitting mojo. Desperate times call for desperate measures!

---

@drkknits All I want is for my laundry room ceiling not to get moldy! Everything else is just a bonus. Including fries. 😛

---

@mrs_sockvictim Couldn’t muster any knitting enthusiasm. Decided to see if I could figure out a crochet pattern. 😛

---

Any choice.com.au members? Need advice on washing machines/dryers… (Will pay cookies in return!)

---

This is as friendly as they get. http://twitpic.com/2ixtlk

---

Introducing Snook to “To Kill A Mockingbird” via audiobook. I love this story. I’ll probably cry.

---

Who’s got a front-loading washing machine? Care to comment on its pros/cons? (cross-posted from GGR account)

---

Looking at separate stacking FL washer & condensing dryer. Considering LG and Fisher & Paykel. Any strong brand preferences?

---

@henrytapia @toastman Snootchie Bootchies? Who the fuck talks like that? That is fucking baby talk.

---

@henrytapia Heh. Take that one up with his uni buddies; I didn’t come up with that appellation. 😛

---

Iconic Photos takes on the Australian election and “36 Faceless Men” today: http://bit.ly/cSHK2G

---

@sharre We’re going too! See you there… 🙂

---

@Opheli8 Oh great. Like I need to go someplace that would make me feel like more of a giant!

---

@tinkabel Heard it, and done it! Got it enabled yesterday. 🙂

---

Seconding @Opheli8. Our @anatyt will be missed, especially at lunchtime Mexican. All the best!

---

My new running shoes arrived! Wow, that’s fast. Three days from Amazon! http://twitpic.com/2ik4pj

---

@shanea Oh crap. What did they do wrong?!

---

Thanks to @mrs_sockvictim and the S.V. for a lovely dinner with good food and wine and fire and cats and everything nice!

---

@redambition Just sent you an email! Need a small favor at the Exec meeting… 🙂

---

@miftik Fixed! Validator didn’t like the umlaut in Bjork. (I suck at character-encoding stuff.)

---

@acatinatree When I tried it, there’s a little account balance showing. I’ve only got 10c. You have to add more to call int’l, I think.

---

@witty_knitter Just bookmark this: http://doesaustraliahaveagovernmentyet.com/

@mpesce My partner just heard your talk, said you’re moving to Chippo. Welcome! Check out http://bit.ly/sdy02; say hi to @steven_noble. 🙂

---

RT @Glebe2037: UI/UX folks: have potential lead for you, big company looking for assistance/guidance, DM your deets // Attn @henrytapia!

@mpesce Yep! Also check out Michael’s blog, which focuses on neighbourhood sustainability: http://sustainablehouse.com.au/fulblog/

---

New (repaired) oven is being put to good use: Snook’s got a gratin goin’!

---

@toastman Beetroot, potatoes, and garlic-thyme-infused cream. YUM.

---

Running late. Attempt to shave legs with cheap razor led to bloody mess, necessitating last-minute wardrobe change. 🙁

---

Unexpected benefit of iPhone 4 front-facing camera: seeing if I have black texta smudged on my nose from my takeaway coffee.

---

@randomknits @Lauren_lolly_ I got married in Vegas to my Aussie! But what? Passport office won’t recognise what?! Oh, name change?

---

@randomknits @Lauren_lolly_ I didn’t change mine. One of the many traditions of marriage we rejected. 😛

---

@gilmae @randomknits We thought of picking a new one for the both of us, but SNOOK + HOWARD doesn’t spell anything cool. 🙁

---

Fantastic! The oven is getting fixed tomorrow. Snickerdoodles, here I come…

---

Hooray for repairman Leon! The oven is on and it seems to be working!

---

GGR Episode 9 is now available! http://bit.ly/cMgyxv Should be appearing in your iTunes. Thanks for hanging in there!

---

RT @DDsD: RT @thomasediting: Dyed-in-the-wool = steadfast. Died-in-the-wool = freak knitting accident.

---

This is why we don’t let our cats out at night. 🙁 http://bit.ly/93mFDw

---

I’d love to call my family in the US via Gmail. Too bad it’s not available to us furriners yet. 🙁 http://bit.ly/cg3deS

---

I take it back! Upon installing the Voice/Video plugin, I now have “Call Phone” in Gmail! Sweeeeeeet.

---

I just tried it by calling a friend’s cell in the U.S. Worked great! Decent quality. Now how can I get it on my iPhone…?

---

@Ezzles Hm. I think I found your 2kg on my trip to the US! 🙂

---

Trying out a WACOM Bamboo tablet. Maybe this will help with my wrist issues?

---

@mrs_sockvictim Cool! What’d you do with your old bike?

---

@Lauren_lolly_ WOWZA!

---

@lscassar I use Toodledo, which syncs web<->iPhone. There’s a 3rd party Outlook sync app for it: http://bit.ly/L6jH3

---

@mrs_sockvictim Hmm. I dreamed about bikes last night. We’ll talk on Friday. 🙂

---

I’ve got Thomas Keller’s Slow-Cooker Cassoulet in the crockpot at home: http://bit.ly/3aTklR. My house is gonna smell AMAZING tonight!

---

@DDsD @ScottRhodie Yep. Like us. Two car spaces, no cars. So we rent both of them out.

---

@rhagern I don’t have a $400 slow cooker, so I made it on the stove and then poured it in. Will blog the results! 🙂

---

Should be going for a run right now… but woke up with a massive allergy attack. My eyes are streaming. ARGH.

---

I think my chubby knees are ADORABLE, but I do worry that this skirt makes me look like a Hummel figurine. Snook is no help, of course.

---

Let’s play Words With Friends on the iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad! My username is ‘web-goddess’. http://bit.ly/2qbpQ

---

@venks79 I sent that on the bus! All my games have petered out. 🙁

---

@AusVintageGrrl Awww, poor Roh! Hope all is well now.
