Drunken Snookums!No, we haven’t been to the birthday drinkies yet. It’s just this funny game that Kathleen sent me. The goal is to get your little drunk guy to walk as far as possible by correcting his motion with your mouse. (My best score was, like, 39 meters.) Kathleen quite astutely noted that the character…

Happy birthday to the Snook, who turns 28 today. Isn’t he a studmuffin in this picture? (It was taken at the Summit Restaurant during our anniversary dinner last April.) For any of you Sydneysiders that want to help us celebrate, we’re going to be at the Forbes Hotel on York Street from about 8:30 tonight.…

Good morning, Tapestry Craft! This is Kris. Can I help you?So I’ve nearly finished my first full month at the new job. Go me! Some notable milestones and highlights: I met Sharon Aris! She came in the shop and placed an order for some Jo Sharp wool. As I was writing it down I asked…

Stop the presses, ladies… A male blogging Domer has been spotted! (Love that URL, by the way.) The proprieter e-mailed to ask whether I knew of any other ND alumni blogs. Off the top of my head, I pointed him to Brigita, Nora, and Yasmin. Who’d I forget? Anybody?

Awww, Trevor won Big Brother 4! I totally screamed and got all teary when he proposed to his girlfriend. How very Rob and Amber, except without the whole “sleaze-tache” thing goin’ on.

More fun with Australian commercials!Remember this game? I give you the setup for a commercial on Australian television that is currently infuriating me, and you guess the conclusion and what product is being sold. (Sorry Aussies, but you’ll have to sit this one out.) Here we go: A nice yuppie-looking couple are sitting down to…

Broad Street MittensAs the Snook daily complains about how “frickin’ freezin’” it is in the mornings, I decided to knit him these Broad Street Mittens from Knitty to keep him warm. They’re basically fingerless gloves with mitten shells attached to the knuckles. There’s a loop at the top of the mitten that you slip over…

More cat paraphernalia… We just ordered one of these automatic feeders in preparation for an upcoming weekend getaway. I’m not sure how much relaxation I’ll have thinking of little Amy here all by herself!
