Former Netdecider Stefanie stumbled across an ancient joke today from the old mcdonalds.co.uk team team. It’s the prank wedding page she put up for me and Julian way back when. Too bad the picture doesn’t show up! For some reason, I think there was a picture of Ronald McDonald involved…

Trail NoteI recently found a new favorite jogging route. I head back through Chippendale and across Cleveland Street, turning right on Abercrombie. Eventually I hit Wilson and that takes me all the way into Newtown. It’s nice because there aren’t a lot of lights to stop at, and the houses along Wilson Street have the…

GASP! Afghans for Afghans is auctioning off an All-Noro Afghan, and it’s gorgeous. I wish I had a few hundred dollars to spare! *cough* Birthday present… *cough* (Link courtesy of Mason-Dixon Knitting.)

Wow. I knew George Clooney was a cool guy, but I really had no idea. I liked hearing his praise for his Aunt Rosemary, and his prank on Arnie was hilarious. And good on ‘im for standing up for his beliefs and being true to his craft. Plus, I will always love him for doing…

And now, some Personal Announcements…Happy birthday to my Dad! (Well, it was yesterday, but it’s still his birthday in the U.S., and I did manage to work the dateline issue properly this time to call on the correct day.) I’d give him crap about his age and stuff but seeing as how I turn friggin’…

Great diet-related question over on AskMetaFilter. No, I didn’t ask it, but I sure read it. (For what it’s worth, I don’t think I’m suffering a lot of sagginess. I haven’t been carrying the weight for long enough to really destroy the elasticity, I think.)

After Howard’s depressing statement about same-sex marriage this week, the minor RU486 victory is especially sweet. I couldn’t sum up the issue any better than Moment to Moment. I wonder if sending a letter to our representative would do any good, seeing as how I’m not technically a voting citizen just yet…

Knitting Olympics Update: Well, I’ve finally decided what I’m going to do: I’m going to finish the cardigan I started for my friend’s daughter, Marianne. It’s about half done and I’ve been dragging my feet for weeks, mostly because I think I might have been a bit ambitious with the design. But now that I’ve…

“Phone call for Media Whore…”I just got interviewed! MX (that free paper they had out at train stations, etc) is going to be running a story related to this Fastest Knitter Competition thingo, and they wanted to talk to a “young knitter.” As I tend to talk, you know, a lot, I got volunteered for…

I can open wide!Just had my final wisdom tooth check-up with Dr. Wong, and he gave me a sticker! Upon further reflection though, it could be read as sorta rude.
