Racist colours

Remember my customer that used the adjective “nigger” to describe very dark brown? It appears this is not uncommon.

Toxic Socks

Heeheehee. Toxic Socks Clothes Bin. That’s pretty funny!

PLAY!

Ever since we attended the Bugs Bunny on Broadway event a few years back, the Sydney Opera House still sends me notices of upcoming events we might like to attend. Most of them look like snoozers, but the latest one couldn’t have been more tailored to me and the Snook: PLAY! A Video Game Symphony. The Sydney Symphony is going to play the themes to videogames while big screens show the games themselves. HOW COOL IS THAT? We’re so going.

EIGHTY-FOUR CENTS

EIGHTY-FOUR CENTS ON THE DOLLAR. Man, that makes me fume.

Felix Felicis

Ooh, Felix Felicis! Those are really cute. Apparently the artist has also done a custom HP necklace. Personally, I kinda prefer the broccoli! (Link courtesy of fellow Hoosier Jamieanne.)

RIP Veronica Mars

RIP Veronica Mars. *sniff*

Amish Quilt

If anybody is looking for a nice gift, my Mom is selling another Amish quilt. (She didn’t make this one; she bought it at an auction.)

Baby boom!

Congratulations to brigita, who popped out of blog-retirement to announce she’s having a baby! (I think this officially constitutes a baby boom amongst my acquaintance, y’all.)

Amy did the math.

Amy did the math.
Gallon of gas in USD in Australia: $3.72
Gallon of gas in USD in America: $3.10 (average)

I’m so glad we don’t have a car and we can both walk to work.

APEC Madness

What. The. Hell? Train stations closed and mobile phones jammed? That’s gonna suck.
