    I’m entering @Crust_Pizza #CrustFreePizzaFriday because I’m going out tonight and I can’t be bothered cooking afterwards.

    Tsukasa man told us that their lease is expiring and they’ll be gone as of June. NOOOOO! THEY BE TAKIN’ MY SUSHI! @toastman

    @knitness Hey Ness – what yarn brands did they have? Anything good?

    Scope Creep is ever so much easier to take when the dev takes you to the pub and pours two beers down your throat first.

    Waiting for my @crust_pizza. HUNGRY!

    @tinkabel Of course not. We paid for it. 🙂

    Selling point of the day at Eveleigh Markets (spotted on several signs): “As seen on Masterchef last night!”

    You guys are MISSING OUT on the beautiful “Hello” duet the Snook and I are doing right now. Time for MORE WINE! #Glee

    Syd Ravellers: I got a sneak peek inside the Granny Square fitout tonight: http://bit.ly/bTYqb3 It’s looking pretty good!

    RT @Opheli8: The top traded stock yesterday was MobileActive -yes, the one I work for! // Woohoo! Me too!

    @yankinoz The price more than doubled. (We announced an acquisition.) That’s a good thing, right? http://bit.ly/ckTCkD

    @frillseekerjen Finally! I recorded every episode last month looking for you guys. I’ll get Rodd to record tonight’s. 🙂

  • RunningBlog: Week 17

    Still NOT SICK. Yeah, I feel crummy occasionally and there’s more than the average amount of mucus, but I’m NOT SICK. My powers of denial are strong. While I was at knitting camp last weekend, Fiona and I went out for a run that instead became more of a hike. We followed a steep and narrow trail up to Robertson’s Lookout at Mount Keira, stopping every ten minutes to pick the leeches off our shoes. (Yes, really.) The view was fantastic though. We ran the rest of the way back down the mountain to camp. On Sunday I got in my long run for the week, a 16km jog through Newtown, Enmore, Marrickville, Tempe, and Sydenham. (It’s really, really weird now that a ten-miler doesn’t feel like that big a deal!) I did 3:1 run/walk and still managed a 7:30/km pace, which is 45s faster than the 19km run I did a few weeks ago. Yay for cooler weather! Yesterday I did a nice easy morning run and then had a session at Spudds in the afternoon. I am BEAT.

    April 25: 6.70km
    April 26: 16.02km
    April 28: 5.35km
    Total this week: 28.07km (17.5mi)
    Total in 2010: 357.99km (223.7mi)

    To meet my goal of running 1000km in 2010, I should be at 327km right now. So I’m maintaining my nice cushion.

    We’re only 2.5 weeks out from the Sydney Half Marathon! This week will be the longest run of my training: 22km. Yes, I’ll actually be going slightly farther than the actual race distance. I’m looking forward to it, actually! Then the following weekend will be the Mother’s Day Classic 8K. I’ll be in my taper period here, so I’m not going to push it too hard. I’d just like to run the whole thing comfortably so I can feel confident leading up to the big race.

  • Petey Head-Butting

    While Snookums was in the shower this morning, Petey and I were playing on the bed. He gets very affectionate always right when we’re getting ready for work. He loves to head-butt your hands and stretch and rub and PURR like a chain saw.

    RT @miss_reecie: this should really be called “Birds Are Awesome and Will F*ck You Up”: http://bit.ly/bVq2Ut // I don’t like birds!

    @tinkabel OHDEARGOD. Was it me? Big bloaty me with pigtails? That was from yeeeears ago…

    @tinkabel Yeah, that was 2005. There were only 5 knitters there; the rest were production people faking it! http://bit.ly/99QsR7

    Dear World: The button on my jacket is not Justin Bieber; it is Liza Minnelli. One is a gay icon, and the other just looks like a lesbian.

    @redambition The GoFugYourself post on it was especially hilarious. GP really is wearing racehorse socks!

    @drkknits Well, Liza kinda does too, to be honest… 🙂

    @thisismywww A baby-faced popstar from Canada. Also, our new Overlord.

    @gilmae Quite frankly I wondered how you do it. The 15min bus ride I have from Chippo does me in on most days.

    Do I even need to say it? Go Team White Spectacles! #masterchef – KH

    Wait, she’s pregnant AGAIN? She had to postpone her dream for her kids already, and now another? That seems… illogical. #masterchef

    @mrs_sockvictim Some chick on Masterchef who draws on her eyebrows, you silly drunky! 😛

    @mrs_sockvictim OH! Congratulations! Nice one. Now move to Chippendale and we’ll REALLY celebrate. 🙂

    @mrs_sockvictim Sadly, the Snook has not ventured into moonshine just yet. 😛

    @shanea Sounds good. Text me details when you know where you’re going!

  • Knitting Letters

    Knitting Letters: A to Z. Wow. That is a fantastic blog about a project to knit an abecedarium. It’s going to take me ages to read the whole thing! The designer is on Ravelry and has a couple free patterns available too. Many thanks to my friend Ã…sa for passing on the link!

    @redambition YIKES! I could barely bring myself to look. Ouch! Take care of yourself, silly!

    Things I should be doing: recording a podcast, laundry, updating the Guild site. Things I am about to do instead: go to bed.

    @venks79 Late night run?? Nice one!

    @venks79 Excellent. Now just keep it going!

    @imdominating Awww, that’s great! Good for her. 🙂

    @ozgamer Congratulations!

  • LitKids

    Matt at Scrubbles has just launched his new “LitKids Original Art” Etsy Shop. Matt is the extremely talented designer who created my blog masthead (above), and I’ve been reading about this project on his site for a while now. He’s done illustrations of some famous characters from children’s literature (Anne Shirley and Jo March) and he’s printing them on actual pages from the books. They look fantastic. I’ve just ordered both of them. They’d be a great gift for anybody who grew up on those books like I did.

    My brief write-up and photos from Knitting Camp 2010: https://web-goddess.org/photos/knitcamp2010.php

    RT @AusVintageGrrl: Woo! Yarn recieved a HC, shawl won 1st in Class AND Best Exhibit for handspun article!!! // Fantastic! Congratulations!

    @redambition Me too! I think she’s going to be a very popular Halloween costume. 🙂

    Claire’s a knitter? Did anybody else see that photo? Ooh, she’s now my favorite to win. #masterchef

    I’m sorry. I know many of you like it. I know I will be ostracised. But I CANNOT STAND GOODNEWSWEEK. The not-funny makes me BLIND WITH RAGE.

    @gadgetgirl70 I don’t! But it started after Masterchef and Rodd laughed at me as I fumbled for the remote to change it. ARGH.

    Just when I thought I’d cracked the back of this lace – a bloody knot appears. Frogged row. What now, @AusVintageGrrl? Russian join in 2ply?

    I am not so perverse as to watch GNW when I hate it. I only caught 10s after #masterchef. Snook laughed as I frantically tried to change it.

    Me: “Hey, look. You’re on this page.” Snook: “Nice. So I’m like a definitive reference for elbow-licking.” http://bit.ly/cLYz3R

    @SupFarn I’m not on there. Snook’s on there. (Pic’s from a few years back.) He must have dislocatable shoulders or something.
