    Wicked headache. Unable of moving from the couch.

    I figured out the headache. Snook had to work today, and he left before he could make me a coffee. Caffeine withdrawal.

    @mrs_sockvictim I just counted. Fourteen! That’s what I get for knitting these big jumpers.

    Just waiting for the taxi to whisk us off to @mrs_sockvictim’s for dinner. Is it just me, or did Sydney suddenly get unbearably hot today?

    Pouring the first of the champagne cocktails! http://twitpic.com/w0454

    The band is playing “Lust for Life.” @mrs_sockvictim is the hardest working singer in show business. http://twitpic.com/w0ejd

    Oh ffs. Channel 9 are interviewing the Chk Chk Boom wanker.

    HAPPY NEW YEAR! We’re listening to the Harbour fireworks and watching on TV. Bring on 2010!

    Best wishes for 2010 from me and the Snook! http://twitpic.com/w0trt

    Facebook just gave me a new friend suggestion. IT’S MY GRANDPA HARTER.

    @drkknits Heh. Several of us were watching it in the break room. I was hoping for that hat trick; I’ve never seen one before.

    I have officially sent in my Easter Show entry form. Class 0119: Red Cabled St. Brigid Jumper; and Class 0202: Albert the Magic Pudding.

  • The Cost of Care

    The Cost of Care. Really effective graph showing various countries’ health care spending vs. life expectancy. Be sure to click to enlarge the graphic, and pay particular note to the way it uses colour too. (Am I reading that right? Australia has the 3rd highest life expectancy after Japan and Switzerland? Sweet!) Link courtesy of kottke.

    Seven Bella Swans a Swimming: http://bit.ly/7hMhr0. For @imdominating and her Twihard pals… 🙂

    Happy birthday, @Kat13v! Many happy returns of the day.

    RT @VenessaHunt: Promo from me: Only two days to go for you to set up FREE SMS from Samsung Mobile so you are free to party on NYE! htt …

    PUKE. OsCommerce hackers can go jump off a cliff.

    Hack appears to be fixed. Luckily the site didn’t have anything worth stealing, but it still sucks to get done.

    @ozgamer Thanks. I feel horrible though. Snook keeps telling me it’s not my fault, which helps.

    Beer. Pizza. “World of Goo” on WiiWare. Life is much better thanks to my best friend.

    @jannism We got stuck on the one with the balloons and the giant frog thing. Your kids probably kicked our ass.

    Just completed a 5.52 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/5PC7fP #RunKeeper

  • Chow Mein

    Remember when I discovered Australian “chow mein”? The SBS Food site has a blog post speculating on its origins. It really is an Australian classic. (And judging by M-H’s comment on my original post, New Zealand knew about it as well.)

  • Tom’s Four Generations Baby Quilt

    Tom’s Four Generations Baby Quilt. Lovely! Makes me want to quilt again.

    I have officially knitted 328 rows of St. Brigid, watched 1.5 seasons of Buffy, and eaten most of a Mangomisu. Great weekend off…

    @VenessaHunt @Opheli8 Are you mocking my hermit-like old-lady existence? But it’s fun! 😛

    @Opheli8 @VenessaHunt No no, GUG’s why I DRINK. Knitting just fills the hours until alcohol is socially acceptable.

    Back to work after a looong holiday weekend. What’s that, USA? You guys had to work Monday? Sucks to be you! (Yay, Boxing Day!)

    @imdominating That tweet made my soul laugh before it was even out of bed.

    @MrMikeLawson DEAR GOD. It looks like it’ll come alive at night and kill you in your sleep.

    The office is quiet… except for the pumping bass coming from the tech team side. My corner is Deadsville.

    @VenessaHunt You’re worrying me. Am I going to end up writing a spec for this site?

    @VenessaHunt PHEW!

    Trying to call family for Christmas. Just rang both numbers I had for my Grandpa and got completely random strangers. Bah humbug.

    @venks79 Nice one! Although those GPS points look a little suss… 🙂

    Just completed a 5.13 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/8lgRWJ #RunKeeper

    I ran in the rain. I got wet.

    Wow. The raspberry sauce just took the Mangomisu up to ELEVEN. If you make it, don’t forget the sauce.

    Wanted to go see Psycho at the Opera House, but good grief. Ticket prices are nuts. $90 for the cheap seats! http://bit.ly/4Ye58S

    We put the bread machine on a timer last night. Best way to wake up EVER.
