In other news, check out DeskCam! It took over four hours (and four pots of colour) to get me to this shade of blondeness. (My hairdresser Paige rocks!) The red came out a lot better than I’d hoped, leaving a few random bits of pinkiness throughout that preserve my rock star edge. Or something. I…

It appears the cat’s out of the bag, so we can make it official: Amy and I won the GRAND PRIZE in the Knitty Calendar Contest! That’s right; the picture of us in front of the opera house is going to be on the front cover! HOW COOL IS THAT?

Hmm. Rockpool has changed format and dropped a la carte in favor of a five course degustation. Very shades of Tetsuya. At least you still get a choice for each course. Maybe the Snook and I will have to check this out… Oh, and the word through my sources, by the way, is that XO…

I was putting our bamboo knitting needles up on the website today when I discovered the English-language home page of Tulip, our Japanese supplier. I was cracking up at the translations, especially their two slogans: “The Needles is Affection” and “Smile of Hand Knitting.” It’s very Mr. Sparkle.

Australian Politics Test – The Snook and I both took it and our scores are pretty funny. We’re pretty solidly Democrat/Green, but we both also oddly rated One Nation and Family First ahead of the Liberal Party. We’re self-hating hippies.

Lee totally rocked Australian Idol tonight! (Though I did think his punked-up version of “Eye of the Tiger” was a teensy bit too fast). And I was totally laughing when Kyle was talking about how everyone in the country loves Lee and he hasn’t met anyone who hasn’t, and the Snook and I were all,…

Man, that sounds like it was hell of a football game! I’m almost glad I didn’t get to hear the fourth quarter; I would’ve been bouncing off the walls. I wonder what this will do to our ranking…

“If I were a rich man…” I’m gonna be singing that for days. I just got back from seeing Topol – honest-to-God Topol! – in the new Sydney production of Fiddler on the Roof. My boss Albert scored some comps and called me up this morning to say they had an extra. How sweet is…

Oh. My. God. Halloween Costumes for Your iPod. As far as I can tell from the FAQ, it’s not a joke either!
