    I’m at Kam Fook Restaurant (Westfield Chatswood, Sydney) w/ 3 others. http://4sq.com/6zW45n


    @chriscowa Yep! Crazy good yum cha. 🙂


    Kam Fook from above. http://twitpic.com/1wcjel Yum Cha madness!


    I finally got to try congee! http://twitpic.com/1wck8b It was really good. 🙂 http://twitpic.com/1wckjg


    Snookums tries tripe. He likes it! http://twitpic.com/1wcpzq


    Time for @SupFarn to cut the cake. http://twitpic.com/1wcxgu RAINBOW CAKE! http://twitpic.com/1wcxsn Way to go, Eva!


    Wooo 3-day weekend! (This whole having-a-Queen malarkey is better than I expected!) And no, I’m not getting up at 4:30 for the soccer…

    All packed up and ready to go! First Guild then #wwkip day. Everybody ready?

    @bellsknits But… but… anybody who’s anybody will be there! (At WWKIP Day, that is. Not the poultry show.) 🙂


    Our company is looking for PHP devs. Anybody looking? Let me know. I’ll split the bounty with you. 😛


    @gilmae In order to join our wonderful team/family, get compensated, and earn professional renown. OOOH, YOU’D BE GOOD… 🙂


    @BartholomewD Cool! They just announced it. If you DM me your email, I’ll send you the job description, etc.


    OH FFS. @twitter has mispelled Australia on their official World Cup site: http://twitter.com/worldcup/aus


    @Kat13v Neil Gaiman doesn’t come cheap. Any chance you get to book at a discount? 😛


    Whoa. Andy Muirhead from Collectors charged with child porn? My jaw DROPPED. http://bit.ly/ampznY I can’t believe it.


    I only had 4 beers tonight… so why do I feel so wretched? I’m getting old.


    @AusVintageGrrl Sucking down coffee. Obsessively checking lists. No time to bake, so I plan to steal biccies from others all day. 🙂

    @redambition @gilmae The hilarious part is that I got the Snook hooked on GG too. I think he wants to be Chuck Bass.


    @ScottRhodie Flashblock is the only thing that allows me to visit the SMH site. Highly recommended.


    @redambition @gilmae Not even the clothes? That guy can pull off a pink skirt and an ascot like nobody’s business.


    @KnitNTel Keep reading. Pic was posted. 🙂


    @kunaal84 HA! I didn’t even realise that. SHIRT. SHIRT. (Although he’s pretty good at pulling skirts off too. 😛 )


    @chrisgander A surprisingly good book, once you got past the first few chapters. Better than I expected.


    @knitterjp I’M COMING TONIGHT! And in my spiffy boots too! Should make it before you go. 🙂


    @venks79 Total delayed reaction there! 😛


    @Opheli8 My psyche pretty much stopped developing in 1996, so I’d say that’s pretty accurate. 🙂

    @SallyPompom I can’t believe I put the date wrong on my blog. D’OH! I fixed it. 🙂


    Time for sewing class. Yay! Starting my first ever skirt. Yay!


    @sharre Nah, finishing class is next week. 🙂


    Skirt pieces are all cut out! http://twitpic.com/1v8hmw Also had lesson in pattern grading, as these hips needed some ROOM.


    Holy crap. You guys didn’t tell me that using the overlocker is such a RUSH. That thing is scary but fun.


    Decided to play dress-up. Instead of normal boring comfy female geek uniform, today I am sexy geek girl circa 2001. Snook liked it. 🙂


    @redambition Ha! Knew you wouldn’t believe me. Have to get


    @redambition Ha! Knew you wouldn’t believe me. Have to get somebody at work to take one. 🙂


    This is as good as Zoe could get: http://twitpic.com/1vdnu9. You can’t make out my black superhero boots. 🙂


    Should clarify: that is NOT the skirt I’m sewing. This one’s been hiding in my closet for far too long. The new (red) one debuts next week.


    @gilmae Janeane Garafalo was definitely influential in the development of my admittedly-miniscule fashion sense.


    @gilmae Lisa Loeb! Who guest-starred on an episode of Gossip Girl, which made me smile and cringe at the same time.

    @lachlanhardy Me too! Mine just happen to mostly be knitters and fiber artists. And they love the iPhone. (Wait til the Ravelry app drops!)


    Sydney knitters: Don’t forget World Wide Knit in Public Day this Saturday! I’ll be at the Rocks event: http://bit.ly/dwREsy. Lots of prizes!


    Congrats to @kunaal84 on his promotion today. 🙂


    @missamanda Huh. There is not. But I could make one…


    WWKIP Day Sydney now has a Facebook event: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=117131991663447


    Why would a newspaper assault their readers with such horrible advertising? http://www.heraldsun.com.au/ So cheap and awful and tacky.


    @KnitNTel No events on the site in Brisbane just yet… Are you on Ravelry? Can’t see one in the Brisbane SnB group: http://bit.ly/a4DwnS


    RT @MisterShuffles: I had a fun day! There’s so many things I can scratch myself on! Did you a fun day?


    I was taking off my shoes, and I had the strangest feeling I was being watched… from beneath the bed. http://twitpic.com/1uza7y


    Matt Moran is such a dick. Does he ever actually work in the restaurant anymore? He’s on TV every other day! #masterchef


    Ooh, I hope Adam wins this one. He did really well! Most impressive performance from him so far. #masterchef


    Oh, is Adam gonna cry!? Awww, I’m so happy for him. Now I REALLY want him to win. #masterchef


    My Masterchef accomplishment for the night: Pasta with Sausage and Kale. http://twitpic.com/1uzqu3 IT WAS YUM.


    Twitter: any suggestions for a good (cheap) source for overseas travel insurance?


    @gilmae Bad experience? Somebody else I know used TID…


    @redambition It was Bieber, wasn’t it? I KNEW IT! Totes Bieber. 😛


    Cheers, everybody. We went with “insure4less.”


    @redambition Not Bieber. Hm… *gasp* CODY SIMPSON?


    @Alex_Manchester Just ANZ basic Visa. Looked on site; only Gold level has it. Good suggestion though!


    My new favorite blog: Well that’s adorable. http://wellthatsadorable.com An excellent way to start the day.


    What is going on in the city? Barely moving on George St.

    Goonies themed art show in Astoria for 25th anni: http://bit.ly/cD3T2d. SO AWESOME. (@carbolicious will love this.)


    @chrisgander I just get a holding page??


    Members of IC Knitters Guild: I bought us a housewarming present! http://twitpic.com/1unwsc


    @AusVintageGrrl Well, we got the cash. Might as well spend it on nice stuff that we need! 🙂


    @AusVintageGrrl @sharre @randomknits @drkknits We definitely need a naming comp. You won’t see in in person til the July meeting though!


    @knitness HAHAHAHAHA… “I dub thee… URN.” 🙂


    @bellsknits The kind that you stir into risotto. *drool*


    @gusseting Which guild?! IC takes a gold coin for tea supplies to fund this stuff. It helps that we get our room hire for free. 🙂


    @bellsknits That’s what we did with the stock from our turducken. Best risotto of my life.


    Operation Turducken, for those who missed the madness: https://web-goddess.org/photos/turducken.php (@drkknits)


    I submit to you that no grown-ass man actually uses the word “marf.” And neither does any self-respecting knitter. http://bit.ly/91tjZb


    I offered to knit the Snook a Feathers scarf to “flower up” his wardrobe. He said that sounds “marftastic.”


    @bellsknits The truffles were a bit of a disappointment. Couldn’t really taste them. It was impressive, but somehow less than sum of parts.


    I just became a fan of justinlovaforeva on #GetUpGo. Who’s with me? http://bit.ly/9JiBbA


    Marinated lamb shoulder’s been in the slow cooker all day. Twitter, my house smells AMAZING.


    @VenessaHunt You are welcome any time, my dear!


    @bellsknits I’m not much of a Scar-Jo fan, but I did like the green dress. Totally different and not majorly slutty like all the rest.


    Yow. What the heck did I do to my neck/shoulders? I can barely move. Propped on the couch with a hot water bottle.


    @kunaal84 I hope not. I had a sore throat briefly that night that disappeared. Hope it’s not lurking.


    Massive expanse of empty bed. One predominantly white cat. One black cardigan. Of course. http://twitpic.com/1uqna3


    iPhone4 launches in Australia on July 18… the day AFTER we leave for the U.S. BUGGER!


    @AusVintageGrrl This will be my second upgrade while still in contract. I just pass the previous one over to Rodd. 🙂


    @AusVintageGrrl I tried to Skype chat with my Mom (who works in IT) last weekend. Her stupid Dell laptop just wouldn’t work with camera.


    @AusVintageGrrl So yeah, video chat is hardly new… but video chat that is easy and works 100% of the time will be awesome when it arrives.


    At the bus stop. Snook keeps pointing at men wearing scarves and loudly whispering “MARF!” at me.


    @AusVintageGrrl Thats weird. Liveblog I read of keynote said he specifically said it was like C&P, where they took time to do it well.


    Builder turned up this morning, so hole in wall is now halfway repaired. Will take two more visits to finish though. *sigh*


    @dancingman It’s not. It’s an incredibly stupid word that we’re mocking. 🙂


    @lachlanhardy You follow too many jaded industry types. I saw a LOT of excited tweets this morning! Hell, I’m excited. 🙂


    @redambition I love ’em… but I still don’t see how you can walk in ’em! (says the girl wearing her Docs for like the 10th day in a row).

    @Roceal Yep, Surry Hills. My first visit! Then we went to Barmuda, where @dancingman said he saw you, but I just missed you.


    Yikes. Some horrible thunderstorms (with tornado warnings) going through my family’s area: http://bit.ly/bFnAzm Hope everyone is okay!


    Many, many thanks to Opus (Octopus) Design for swapping my busted water bottle! Great service. http://bit.ly/ba187O


    Step 1: Make a ginormous pan of peanut butter Rice Krispie treats. http://twitpic.com/1ug869 Step 2: PUT IN BELLY. SMILE.


    @bellsknits I never measure… That’s why I always knit them both at the same time! 😀


    Just added a Merchandise page to the Knitters Guild site. Don’t get too excited. 🙂 http://www.knittersguildnsw.org.au/merchandise


    @Lauren_lolly_ I do. I wasn’t kidding when I said I have too many extracurricular activities. I wear far too many hats.


    Rental car and hotel room booked for our trip to the US. Only 41 days to go!


    Urgh. Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats at breakfast may not have been a good idea… Bleurgh.


    @lahondaknitter We are, actually! We’ll be spending a few days with my Sis in Petaluma. Not sure we’ll get to the city much though.


    On top of the PBRKT-for-breakfast debacle, we got up 30min early for a repairman who is now 30min late (and counting). Bugger.


    @Justacogitating I know! Good at night should = good in morning. But alas, my belly is Not. Happy.


    Builder never turned up, so I got to make Stern Phone Call. *sigh* Rescheduled for tomorrow.


    @sufrost Why would we make squares for needy people when there are naked light poles to “tag”?! My knitting needs to be EDGY, okay ? 😛


    @witty_knitter Scowl… scowl… grumble… bandwagon… trendy knitting wannabes… scowl… #702ABCsydney

    @venks79 Way to go! At a 6:50/km pace? You’re on fire!


    @misswired Not coming? Damn!


    Skirt fabric procured, thanks to my stylist @mrs_sockvictim! Now off for a quick visit to SSK. 🙂


    NO ONE at SSK besides me, @mrs_sockvictim, @dancingman, and @misswired! Where are all the knitters today?


    @crumpet Nah, it has good settings that let you say what, if anything, gets posted to Twitter.


    My score from Tessuti’s: adorable red Japanese skirt fabric, matching thread & zip, & dedicated fabric scissors. http://twitpic.com/1u3js2


    We’re having a very British day of eating. Ploughman’s Lunch (with homemade beer bread) and now Shepherd’s Pie for dinner.


    A massive, yummy Shepherd’s Pie: http://twitpic.com/1u3s2i. Recipe courtesy of St. Delia, as the Hairy Bikers call her. 🙂


    Nom nom nom! http://twitpic.com/1u3zey So yum on a cold icky night.


    @drkknits Knit one round. Purl one round. Repeat. 🙂


    @knitterjp Fiona and the shop assistant beat that into my head. Repeatedly. NO PAPER. NO YARN. ONLY FABRIC. I PROMISE!


    @witty_knitter Hooray! Many happy returns of the day. 🙂

    @witty_knitter I wouldn’t say “huge.” I was a big fan of her bands in the 90’s; haven’t kept up much these days. But she’s cool!


    @gilmae Hahahahah… Same here. I was singing it ALL MORNING yesterday. In fact, I’d forgotten it til you just mentioned. THANKS.


    @drkknits OOH! I have to re-read that. We’re going to The House on the Rock on our trip to the US. (You’ll see when you get to that part.)


    @redambition @kat13v @ausvintagegrrl Yep, brilliant! Thanks Kate! (@kunaal84 had a great time too…)


    Tuvan throat singing, Tai Chi, pregnant chanteuses, Blind Boys of Alabama, piano prodigies… and Lou Reed. GREAT night at Syd Opera House!
