Yay! We just had a visit from @BenAndJerryOz delivering free ice cream for the office. http://twitpic.com/o6v1w THANKS GUYS!

---

@misswired I think it was this tweet that did it: http://bit.ly/4rVwk0

---

Great session at the gym; managed 100 on the rower again! Then happily negated all progress with big scoop of @BenAndJerryOz afterwards. 🙂

---

I am becoming seriously obsessed with Martha Stewart’s blog. Whoever writes it – part of me wants to believe it’s MS herself – is awesome.

---

@carbolicious Ha! I didn’t but I’ve just follower her. Yeah, a little crazy. I love when she posts 25 pics of her farm on the blog.

---

@knitabulous BTW – I’m handing over Viking shield and bloody knife to @gilmae tomorrow. Yours, right?

---

@knitabulous Did you get any pics of the Viking? I’ve had a request from @mrs_sockvictim but sadly, I didn’t get one!

---

Ice cream + boxing session seems to have shaken me out of my funk. Turned out to be a very productive afternoon!

---

@Fiestywenchyone Because that’s the stuff we all want too. 🙂

---

Chippo residents are invited to protest “Neo-Nazis” Friday night. Hope it doesn’t get ugly. http://twitpic.com/o83qg (attn: @steven_noble)

---

I have HAD IT @smh_news! I can’t even click any homepage links because of giant animated ad on top of everything. GOOGLE NEWS FROM NOW ON.

---

@venks79 The Australian, eh? No Flash. No auto-playing vids. This could work! Will give it a go.

---

@knitness We went there earlier this year: http://bit.ly/3ZzBCX Very yummy!

---

@steven_noble I left a comment against the protest. The more I think about it, the more I think it’s really the wrong tactic.

---

Who came last, anyway? The Melbourne Cup website has fallen over.

---

@twelveeyes Oh no. I think I had a mailout from them yesterday that’s still sitting unopened on the table. Denim horrors lurk within? EEP!

---

Awful day all around. Strangely out of sorts. Unable to focus on the task at hand. Irritable. Maybe it’s the heat?

---

@carbolicious I saw it! Hopefully will be able to reply tomorrow.

---

@runkeeper I’m an RK user – and a bit of an evangelist for it Down Under. 🙂

RT @mumbrella: MC Hammer to speak at Social Media Club Sydney (yes, really) http://bit.ly/TXgfc

Just printed my tickets to see MS LIZA MINELLI tonight!

---

Just got tickets to MC Hammer at Social Media Club Sydney event as an official work outing. 🙂

---

@thisismywww For Wii? Just make sure you get the Guitar Hero instruments: http://bit.ly/15mCTQ. They work for Rock Band too.

---

@thisismywww Whatchoo talkin’ about, Willis? EB Games doesn’t have it listed anywhere…

Waiting for Liza to come onstage! http://twitpic.com/nzk2p

---

Liza just finished the first set with “Cabaret” and the audience went EFFING BALLISTIC. She is amazing.

---

Fought our way to the merch table to buy overpriced YET AWESOME Liza-by-Warhol t-shirts.

---

Listening to “Maybe This Time” on repeat. I’ve got Liza on the brain. (And my chest.) http://twitpic.com/o1tiq

---

@randomknits I’m pretty sure I was the only person in the Ent Center who went, “THEY SANG THIS ON GLEE!” when it started up.

In a few hours @eileenDCoE is flying back to Boston. Her visit has been like a monthlong holiday! Difficult to get back into my routine.

---

I drew “Newport” in the sweep. Doesn’t appear to be a favorite. I sense a wooden spoon in my future.

---

The Snook: “Hmm. At 48:1 you would have been better off putting your $5 on at the TAB.” Office sweep FAIL.

---

You know it was a good party when you find a bloody knife, a Viking shield, and a Papal cummerbund while cleaning up the next day.

---

Just completed a 6.19 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/4orctS #RunKeeper

---

@randomknits There were a ton of drunken students in costume walking down Broadway last night. You won’t stand out too much!

---

Happy Halloween from Kenny and Dolly! http://twitpic.com/nnlxj

---

Feet are KILLING ME. Remind me to never again wear cowboy boots!

---

@imdominating That certainly didn’t help. (Nine tube socks in there. NINE.)

---

@AusVintageGrrl No, nothing, believe me! My dining room table is groaning under the weight of decorations!

---

@bellsknits But… I thought the whole point was that we learned not to click on strange links. How do I know that’s not another worm?!

---

@jobonekenobi That’s a really useful explanation! I plan on stealing that. 🙂

---

@gilmae Right. And many of us have been railing against url shorteners for a while for that reason!

@franksting The Lion Brand site is good, but it’s got nothing on Ravelry.com.

---

@Opheli8 Not by tomorrow!

---

@thisismywww Yeah, I noticed that the other day. I think it might interpret it as html or something.

Debating on borrowing work’s Wii Drum Kit for Halloween party Guitar Hero action….

---

Drums procured. Rocking out is ensured.

---

@discoknitter Me too!

---

Peanut butter bacon cookies are coming out of the oven. This will be interesting.

---

@discoknitter Nothing, I was saying that I hope you’re feeling well enough to attend too!

---

Witch’s Finger Cookies are out of the oven! http://twitpic.com/nhyk1

---

@tinkabel They still spread more than I would have liked. 🙁

---

Google Wave invite just arrived! Thanks again to @eskimo_sparky for hooking me up. … Now what?

---

@tinkabel @ValClifton Thanks! I make them every year and they’re always a hit. Wish I had a better oven though so they wouldn’t spread!

---

@kunaal84 @SupFarn If and when I get invites, you guys are first on the list…

---

Happy Halloween! My enthusiasm is only mildly tempered by how many items are on my To Do list for today…

---

@Domestic_jules Eek! Mine spread a bit, but not that bad. I tried the trick of leaving out the baking soda/powder. Still spread a bit. 🙁

---

Taxi crash finally posted on the SMH: http://bit.ly/1CGeCx. Lucky it was that early with no pedestrians! Could’ve killed folks.

---

@Opheli8 Inbound it goes all the way to Riley. Outbound, I have to walk up to Castlereagh. (Sonsabitches.)

---

@twelveeyes Heh. I was kinda wondering that too. Do they screw on to the regular cables? Good for the Tunisian crocheters, I guess.

---

Took @eileenDCoE for a workout at Spudds, my 2nd in 2 days. Fun! 99m on the rower. I’m gonna be sore tomorrow though…

---

@imdominating @Justacogitating Sent to my coworkers. They’re now threatening to stage an intervention. “SHE SENDS THEM TO ME, I SWEAR!”

---

@Opheli8 I think you’re meant to give those people a paper bag to breathe into, aren’t you?

---

@Opheli8 I will give you $1 to get Declan away from my desk.

---

@CarriageWorks Not nearly so trendy, but used by the Chippo locals: http://bit.ly/sdy02

---

@twelveeyes Pretty hilarious that it’s basically the plot to the 3rd book (Edward pressuring her to get married).

---

RT @Warlach: Would You Pay $199 for a Mobile Twitter Device With “Lifetime” Service? http://tr.im/DqGT // Good god, no!

---

Just finished cooking a dozen strips of bacon… for use in COOKIES. Am I blowing your mind?!

---

@rhagern http://bit.ly/OOwZJ Of course I found it on the Internet, font of all bacon wisdom… 🙂

---

@Opheli8 Vego cookies have also been provided. They look like ripped off witches’ fingers!

---

Finally found the tea lights so I can light up my Jack-o-lantern! http://twitpic.com/nde23

---

Behold! 39 Cake Eyeballs. These worked SO WELL. http://twitpic.com/ndhbs

---

Worried that @knitterjp may have a Twitter worm. Don’t click on any unexpected DMs! JP, your machine okay??

---

@imdominating As long as those tights have feet, mister! *shaking fist*

---

Boba Fett on her way to work. http://twitpic.com/nfk5p (Snook is going as Indiana Jones.)

---

The people on the bus are eyeing my fake Jack-o-lantern curiously. Good thing they don’t know there’s a POUND of candy corn inside!

---

Why I love the Snook: “Damn. If only I had a Boba Fett blaster.” “WE DO!” “NO WAY!”

---

@AusVintageGrrl Are you at the one at Birkenhead?

---

Oh! They don’t email you about having Twitter lists; you just have to go to the site. I didn’t know that. I never go to the site.

---

@Warlach Heh, glad to hear it’s being eaten. The bag in my office is going fast…

---

@DDsD That sucks if it’s true, but I’m annoyed at the idea that female presenter automatically = dumbing down of show about gaming.

---

Schedule is up for this year’s Sydney Easter Show Arts comps…

---

And of course the Arts Show Schedule PDF takes forever to download and then is corrupt when you go to open it. Par for the course, really.

---

Discovered last night that Coles have orange pumpkins for like half what I paid. FML.

---

@Alegrya I’ve had two of those. You going to the place in Marrickville?

---

It’s lovely that another Guild group wants me to teach them about the ‘Net, but 9.30am on a Monday? Don’t they know some people work??

---

Ah, Harvey Norman. Where you buy batteries and they print you a giant receipt on a dot matrix printer from 1994.

---

Shopping finished, 18 eggs hard-boiled, 39 cake balls formed, zombie doll procured…

---

461 driver waited til AFTER I dipped a brown ticket to tell me he was stopping at Town Hall because of an accident. The war continues.

---

@crumpet I am regretting putting you on my Street Team. You’re kicking ass! 🙂

---

This is where the Internet fails. Massive 3-car accident at Park & College, yet I can’t find details anywhere online.

---

@DDsD Well, partly. I want to know how an engine block ended up on the sidewalk! I need the details.

---

@DDsD Ask @Opheli8! I think she saw it.

---

Engine! On the sidewalk! (See, @DDsD?) http://twitpic.com/nbg7v

---

@DDsD People in the office heard details on the radio. That’s why I labelled the Internet a fail. (No car = no radio for me.)

---

@kms12 Happy birthday! But don’t you get a cake in the office??

---

@gilmae You available? I might start hiking up your way.

---

It takes a village to make a Halloween costume. Much thanks to @randomknits, @gilmae, @AusVintageGrrl, and @thisismywww for my components!

---

@steven_noble I sent you an invitation on FB to our party on Saturday! But if he wants to t-or-t on Friday, we’ll be there…

---

Costume bits procured and tested, 3/4 of shopping done, cake baked, and pumpkin carved. Phew. Tomorrow’s list is even longer.

---

@Opheli8 I’ve got Kopiko in mine…

@steven_noble Ha! Your LiC post linking my blog just popped up in my RSS reader. 🙂

---

@steven_noble Yeah, if it weren’t for cat food/litter I’d never step foot in Coles again. 🙁

@imdominating That kinda makes it sound like I sent you a case or something.

---

RT @ebertchicago: Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire co-starring in a remake of “The Third Man? vomitvomitwomit. <- HAHAHAHA. I love Ebert.

It feels slightly weird to be complimented by the vet on my cat’s teeth. We don’t do anything special. Friskies FTW, evidently.

---

@gilmae Just sending you a wig reminder! 😛

---

Dr Amy survived her trip to the vet today, but she hasn’t forgiven us for withholding her effing breakfast this morning. Pissed off cat!

---

@gilmae You get in at 8? Impressed. Will head over say 11:30? Thanks for this!

@dhgarske Halloween is fun. There should be more holidays where people get to wear costumes! (Maybe we could adopt Carnivale?)

---

Torn between desire to carve a traditional jack-o-lantern tonight, and impulse to instead make a Dwight-O-Lantern: http://bit.ly/3HC2dG

---

@acatinatree Part of my argument for Halloween. (It pretty much stops Christmas encroachment til November in the US.)

---

@crumpet You really, really do!
