    Sitting in the Nag’s Head with Snooky waiting for Samson & Sharkey to start playing. Feels weird without the old crew… #fb

    Another great use for iPhones: amusing oneself between sets. I’m not leaving til we hear “To Her Door.” http://twitpic.com/harov #fb

    @thisismywww Actually they didn’t tonight… but his heart was singin’ like a low-down guitar, let me tell you. 🙂

    @michaelengle Agreed. Poor girl. What a horrible situation.

    @ironbrandon Best of luck with your event!!

    Going to get a haircut before today’s Guild meeting. I’m thinking short, and possibly RED.

  • The Cupcake Bubble

    Is the uber-trendy cupcake industry bubble about to burst? (Hey Sis, pretty much required reading for you!)

  • Rescue Marriage

    I am 100% behind the Rescue Marriage initiative to pass the “2010 California Marriage Protection Act.” It’s a motion to ban divorce. After all, if preventing gays from marrying is essential to protecting traditional marriage, so is banning divorce. (It’s actually way more important, since Jesus himself made it clear that divorce is a sin yet was curiously silent on the topic of the gays.) Here’s a great interview with the author of the bill, who plans to set up tables outside Wal-Mart to get signatures from all those Prop 8 supporters. HA! Let’s see if they like it when it’s their own rights being curtailed.

  • Amish Romances

    Over on MetaFilter they’re discussing Amish romance novels. No, really. The comments that most amused me were from people who’d eaten in “Amish” restaurants and who expressed surprise at the “Amish” girls wearing bonnets, dresses, and incongruous New Balance sneakers. I had to break it to them that they’re probably not Amish.

  • Democracy in Action

    I just telephoned the offices of Congressman Donnelly and Congressman Souder to urge them to support President Obama’s health care reform bill. I told them that I’m a proud Hoosier but – having lived in countries where the government provides health care for all – I couldn’t imagine moving back to a place where my family’s survival and financial solvency are dependent on whether or not we get sick.

  • Does Cancer Make You Stronger?

    Whoa, very cool! Brigita is quoted in the New York Times blog! It’s an interesting little discussion, too.

    No knitting group for me tonight! Errands to run…

    @TimBags Then it obviously didn’t happen.

    Running late for work because Joe Wislon made me so incensed I had to call all my Congressmen to tell them to support Obama’s plan.

    I updated iTunes last night and iPhone this morning. No dramas.

    @runkeeper How come my autotweets say “Just completed a run…” while @venks79 – same version & settings – says “Check out the run…”?

    461 driver tried to leave without me today, and SUCH WAS THE FORCE OF MY EYEROLL that he swung back to the stop and picked me up. VICTORY.

    RT @eileenDCoE’s blog: “These mistakes happen when the extent of one’s French is essentially limited to Pyschokiller lyrics.” HA! Me too.

    I just got 100m/20s on the rowing machine at Spudds for the first time in MONTHS. I let out a whoop when I saw it. Made me feel so good. 🙂

    In the middle of placing a mammoth @threadless order for the geeks at work, and their site just went down! EEP!

    FINALLY. @threadless order went through… and the geeks shall be clothed.

    @sharre Ohhh, that? I was expecting something much more outrageous. 🙂

    @GiGotlib It was the $9 that was the attraction, frankly.

    Anybody else going to the Digital Women Connect event tonight? (Besides me and @VenessaHunt?) http://bit.ly/uolOW

    Wow. Digital Women Connect is awesome, & Telstra are putting on hella good show. On like my 6th champagne… (Speakers starting now.)

    Just heard @lscassar speak; very inspiring and entertaining!

    Great night at #DWC. Made contact with so many smart, competent, INTERESTING women in my field. Can’t wait for the next!

    I feel surprisingly okay, despite the amount of champagne I had last night at #DWC. Must do a write-up at some point today.

  • Bacon Cake

    Bacon Cake. No, it isn’t a cake flavoured with bacon. It’s a cake that LOOKS LIKE bacon, and the whole thing is edible including the cutting board. (I still think our meat cake would’ve been tastier.)

  • Buppa’s Bakehouse

    WOW. Must get over to Buppa’s Bakehouse in Newtown. “American-style” baked goods including real boiled bagels, oatmeal sandwiches, and even the uber-trendy cake balls. (Man, what’s with Newtown getting all these great new bakeries? I also spotted Polka Dot Cookies and Cakes recently down the far end of King Street.)
