    @tinkabel Ravelry is the font of all knitting weirdness!

    I am thankful I live and run in such a beautiful city. http://twitpic.com/qyf9o

    Just completed a 6.08 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/6nVJu4 #RunKeeper

    I hearby nominate “advergame” as the Worst Neologism of the Century. Yeah, that’s right, THIS CENTURY. *shudder* It’s worse than “mobisode.”

    @gilmae No. It’s “advertisement + game”. One of those crappy branded casual games on a website.

    FRACK. I appear to be on the L38, which is the ONE bus that doesn’t stop at our street. Looks like I’ll be backtracking from Glebe.

    I just unlocked the “Bender” badge on @foursquare! http://bit.ly/56pquB

    @imdominating HA! Just woke up, not even out of bed yet, and I LOLed. Brilliant!

    @Justacogitating Yep, Aussies love beets… to the point of putting pickled beets on hamburger. I KNOW!

    I want to know who the people on the 470 bus route bribed to get, like, 75 buses every morning. There were FOUR stopped @ Broadway just now.

  • Pumpkin Spiced and Iced Cookies

    Happy Thanksgiving! I celebrated by baking a big batch of these cookies and taking them in to work. They were great! They didn’t spread very much, and they remained quite soft and cakey. I was worried that pumpkin PLUS chocolate PLUS walnuts would be a bit over the top, but it all worked together. Highly recommended!

    @WildChildinAUS There’s a setting for automatic tweeting. Off by default, I think, and most – like me – leave it that way! #foursquare

    @WildChildinAUS You don’t. It’s just a game. People earn points and unlock badges for going new places. Kind of fun! #foursquare

    @shanea I turned a bunch of them off! The only ones that still show are badges. 🙂

    @tinkabel There were seven knitters at my house Monday night, all of whom had iPhones and would say YES.

    @traveller0112 Well, he’s Russian so they probably used to exchange waves from their front porches. 🙂

    @imdominating That is like TWO BLOCKS from my house! But my hair is red now. 🙂

    I may be getting a cold, and I accidentally just dipped my bus ticket twice. Happy friggin’ Thanksgiving.

    @kms12 I do! I may feel like crap, but my house is gonna smell goooood tonight. 🙂

    Pumpkin Spiced and Iced Cookies (http://bit.ly/6MB09a) are cooling on the counter.

    @Justacogitating I like beets!

    We are thankful for cat grass. OM NOM NOM!! http://twitpic.com/qx2pg

    Now here’s a possibility for the Easter Show: Crocheted Childbirth Education Doll. http://bit.ly/6keEv6 The judges would have nightmares!

    Discovery: pumpkin cookies are strange to Aussies, and some of my usual baked-good-fans are being scaredy cats and not trying. More for me!

    @gilmae Haha, sure! There are still plenty left.

  • Exhibitionists at Broadway

    Since a few people have contacted me about it: yes, I saw the story about the Sydney people shagging on a rooftop. In fact, that building is like two blocks from our house and I wait in front of it for a bus every morning! However, I was demonstrably at work at 3.30pm last Friday and my hair is red. NOT US, FOLKS.

  • The Muppets do Bohemian Rhapsody

    The Muppets do “Bohemian Rhapsody.” I wasn’t expecting much, but I laughed and laughed.

    Damn. My plan to make Thanksgiving cookies is somewhat thwarted by not having a turkey cookie cutter.

    @randomknits Nah, I’ve got some other alternatives. But thank you!

    OH FFS. There were 6 knitters in my house last night, none of whom pointed out that the baby cardy I’m knitting HAS NO ARM HOLES.

    @bellsknits I have no idea. I was so fixated on getting to the shoulder shaping it completely slipped my mind. Steeks to the rescue!

    Yeah, I’m turning off @foursquare’s “mayor” notifications as @ozgamer and I are just trading back and forth right now…

    Coworker actually just argued against tidal power because it’ll slow the moon down and cause it to fall sooner. My brain just fell out.

    Wow, so there really is a pumpkin pie filling shortage? Much thanks to Eileen Dunne for bringing me a couple cans last month!

  • Impromptu Knitting Salon

    At lunchtime yesterday I spotted a tweet from Bells: “@web_goddess @mrs_sockvictim Turns out I will be in Newtown this evening while hubby is at a gig at the Enmore. Looking for company. Free?” Say no more! Fiona had a prior engagement, so I volunteered to play hostess while Bells’s hubby attended a concert. (I did check with the Snook that he was okay with knitters invading the house. He didn’t mind.) After some furious emailing back and forth, we ended up a party of seven at my house in Chippendale. There was knitting, wine, vegetable curry, even some Pride & Prejudice towards the end of the evening. It was a fun way to spend the evening!

    Thanks to Rachel, Tia, JP, Ness, and Fiona for joining us at such late notice. I think we Sydney knitters made a good impression on dear Bells!
