Month: November 2005

  • Scrubbles

    What the–? I just saw a reference to Scrubbles on Max’s site and thought, “Matt isn’t posting. His RSS feed hasn’t had anything for months.” And then I went to his site and HOLY CRAP, he is posting and he’s got a new design and tons of fun stuff for me to read through. Apparently…

  • HP Whine

    I just realized that you all get to see the new Harry Potter this week, but the Aussies have to wait til December 1st! That sucks. Hoyts is pre-selling tickets though, so I’m thinking of heading over to the Broadway that Thursday night… in costume, of course. Any other Hogwarts Alumni want to join me?

  • Linux Illusion Scarf

    Ooh, remember that Linux Illusion Knitting Scarf that Jussi pointed me to that was unfortunately only in Finnish? She just found me the English version. Hooray! Thanks, Jussi.

  • Socceroos qualify!

    Though we were busy watching a Scrubs marathon, the jubilant yells from the apartment across the way tipped us off that the Socceroos qualified for the World Cup for the first time in 32 years. Go the Aussies!

  • P&P Ending

    Oh good grief. I’ve found a description of the American ending of Pride & Prejudice. So it wasn’t bad enough that Mr. Darcy got saddled with “I love, love, love you”… Now he gets “Mrs Darcy, Mrs Darcy” too? Quel horror.

  • Trail Note

    Trail NoteBest run in a long time tonight. I didn’t really feel like going out; it’s been gray and drizzly and cold all day. I threw on a long-sleeved T-shirt though and promised myself some Bourke Street Bakery sourdough if I made it to the top of Enmore Road. For music I had Max’s Boot…

  • Wellbeing WW Points

    For the sake of future Googlers (and my own poor memory), here are the WW Points values for the menu items at Wellbeing. (They don’t have nutrition information on their website so I had to work it out from the instore fliers.) Salads: Chicken: 4; Vegie: 2.5; Tuna: 2.5; Sweet Chili Potato: 1.5 Dressings: Balsamic:…

  • P&P Review

    “Longer Pride for US Austen Fans. Huh. That’s interesting. And it reminds me that I haven’t actually given my review of the movie yet, which I just saw on the weekend. My love for the book and the BBC miniseries adaptation is well-documented, but I can honestly say that I went into this thing with…

  • DietBlog

    DietBlog: Well, I ain’t wearin’ my red Crocs just yet. I stayed the same this week. I suppose that’s a positive result; at least it means my big drop last week wasn’t a fluke. And I did have three kinda-sorta blow-outs on the weekend: movie night (popcorn and Choc Top), House of Kathmandu (Nepalese food),…

  • Paul Daniels

    Whoa, Paul Daniels has an online journal! He’s a professional British magician that you’d probably recognize if you saw him. The Snook and I once caught an episode of a reality TV show that took famous people and made them “start over” from the beginning of their profession. I believe Daniels was in Chicago with…
