Raised eyebrow…
Somebody on Glitter linked to this clay project for kids. *snort*

We had a mini Sydney blogger meetup tonight as the Snook and I met Andrew and Kathleen out at a Surry Hills pub. (Andrew, you’ll recall, is the bloke that recognized me on the bus a few weeks ago.) A good time was had by all. It’s just a little weird to meet people that you know “on paper” but have never really spoken to…

Wow. Billy Corgan is a blogger. I knew the Pumpkins were from Chicago but I didn’t realize he was that big of a Cubs fan. (Link courtesy of Tricia.)

Not a single damn upset.
Shocking, isn’t it? But good on Peter Jackson and the LOTR crew for cleaning up. We ended up with a 13-way tie for first place consisting of: Adanma Onyedike, Carol LuBien, Carrie Murphy, Christen, Colin Bunnell, Denise, Emily, julie, Mark Schoppe, Mary Jo Brown, Mike, Pat, and Tim Reid. The tiebreaker, you’ll remember, consisted of guessing how many dead people would feature in the annual obituary tribute reel. The total was 30, which means that with a guess of 31, the winner is…

*drum roll*

Christen! I don’t actually know him/her, but a sock monkey will soon be heading off to his new owner.

In second and third places were two people that guessed the same number (25), thus the double-tie was broken on the basis of who entered earlier. Therefore in second place is Mark Schoppe, and in third place is Carol LuBien. (Carrie Murphy missed out on third by a mere hour!)

And lastly, with the wooden spoon, is poor ramanan, who got zero correct. Better luck next year!

The Cat Protection Society of NSW. That’s probably where we’ll get our kitty from. It sounds like a great organization. You can even see pictures of cats they have to adopt (Snookums likes “Soxy”) but that was back in December, so I bet those are all gone by now.

The contest is closed! Stay tuned for the winners.
