  • Sick

    Sick. I knew I was tempting fate by saying I was getting back on track with my running. I got a tickle in my throat Monday evening at 5pm, and within 24 hours it had exploded across my head. My nose alternates between being completely clogged and running like a faucet, and my eyes are streaming. My throat is sore. My head feels like it has doubled in weight. Ugh. I cancelled work; cancelled the cleaners; cancelled everything. I’m at home in bed with a hot water bottle under the covers.

    It probably didn’t help that I dragged myself out of bed at 4:30am yesterday for the knitting-on-Sunrise thing. Hoping to get some video for you later…

    Wow. When you eat breakfast at 5am, by 10am you’re starving.

    @ironbrandon Dammit! I’m like 10 episodes behind so I don’t feel like I can offer any valid comments til I catch up again… 🙂

    @Ascasewwen It’s okay! I’m hoping to put the footage up on the blog tonight or tomorrow. 🙂

    Ahhhh! Just watched the footage. Kochie and Mel said I was a “demon”, as in SPEED DEMON! Although, yeah, I’m a diva too.

    Did anybody else just get movie ticket SMS spam from Optus?

    Just realised I’ve actually knitted on Sunrise before! @mrs_sockvictim and I were on there 3 years ago: http://bit.ly/14dy3K

    @sharre In my defense, I was a very early adopter of Crocs and that was before they became ubiquitous. Now? No freakin’ way. 🙂

    It’s been 24hrs since my first throat tickle. And I’ve now got full-blown cold. THIS SUCKS.

    Sitting up in bed, eating soup (that I can’t taste) provided by Snook, who is playing nursemaid. My nose is so raw already.

    Sudden realisation: WTF do people with kids do when they (parents) get sick? I couldn’t cope. I get helpless and angry when I’m sick.

    I am become Snot Monster, Destroyer of Worlds. Have cancelled work, cleaners, everything. Huddled in bed with streaming eyes and nose.

  • Ides of March

    Wait wait wait… I share a birthday with Michael Scott?!

  • DIY on the Moon

    “DIY on the Moon: how Buzz saved the launch back to Earth”. It’s an extract from Buzz Adrin’s book Magnificent Desolation: The Long Journey Home from the Moon. I really need to get the book. Those few paragraphs there are riveting. I can’t even fathom the bravery of those guys.

  • Optical Illusion

    Whoa! Way cool optical illusion.

  • Sunrise

    It’s 5am, and I’m up and dressed and ready to head out. The knitters of the Inner City Guild will be on Channel 7’s Sunrise this morning promoting the knitting workshops we’re running over the coming weeks. Yep, I’m taping it… Clips coming later!

    @redambition It’s freaking cold. I swear they run the air conditioner every other day.

    Don’t forget to turn on Sunrise tomorrow morning to see the knitters out at Customs House. I’m supposed to be interviewed!

    The flag of equal marriage: http://makeitequal.org. Hell yeah.

    Arrived home aching and sweaty after a punishing boxing session… to find a cold empty house and no dinner. Snook is stuck at work. 🙁

    @AusVintageGrrl It’s yours! Tell Daniel to meet me halfway (probably in the park) and I’ll give it to him one of these days. 🙂

    @acatinatree About time. Send back the Snook; I’m freezin’.

    Trying to get some sleep before VERY early wakeup tomorrow for my TV appearance. My throat is suddenly sore. Does not bode well…

    @AusVintageGrrl No worries. I haven’t felt any big compulsion to play it. Better it goes to someone who’ll appreciate it!

    It’s 4:50am and I am up and dressed. Set your PVRs to Channel 7 Sunrise, folks. (In other news, I have a sore throat. Shit.)

    Well, I’ve been in a couple shots but I fear my interview is getting bumped. Can’t compete with novelty of twins and male knitters!

    We’re only on every half hour as “FiFi” reads the weather report. I got up at 4.30 for this?? One day I’ll learn.

    @sharre They were both on! Fi asked them how long they’d been knitting. Pretty inane stuff.

    @discoknitter Huh? Diva? Moi?! 🙂

    All done, heading to work. TV trivia: FiFi does her own hair and makeup!

    Hilarious. Got in to work just now, and guy behind me went: “Oh, hey, they were talking about knitting on Sunrise today.” Me: “I WAS THERE.”

    Heading in to the city at 5am to be on TV. Such an attention-seeker…

  • Transformers 2 FAQs

    Transformers 2 FAQs. HA! Okay, if that’s really the plot of the movie, then I don’t think I need to waste any money on it.

  • Baby Panda

    Baby panda. Awwwww! I think this might be the cutest photo.
