“Allergy sufferers less likely to get cancer.” Huh. So there’s an upside. Of course, we’re also more likely to go broke buying Zyrtec for the rest of our lives…

Manly crochet doilies. I particularly like the Superman insignia and the tighty-whiteys.

Another GGR Review
Thanks to Shayna of Chacos on the Run for a great review of my Geek Girl Runner podcast. Shayna’s an au pair from the US (I think) who’s now living in Milan, Italy. She has a blog about her Italian adventures that fascinated me, mostly because I’ve visited many of the same places. Thanks for the shout-out, Shayna!

It is so creepy when the air conditioner in the office shuts off. My typing SEEMS VERY LOUD.
RT @VenessaHunt: MobileActive to partner with MIG – http://bit.ly/aEVoZG <<< we are in SMH @mobileembrace!! woohoo!
@epaulette @zedsains Don’t tweet contest yet! 2.5 is on staging, NOT production. Another day or two, eager beavers. 🙂
@getupgo SN signup page isn’t ready quite yet! Just bear in mind. We’re on staging, not prod. 🙂
Three cheers for the handsome and handy Mr Snook, who fixed our leaky toilet using only his ingenuity and $15 supplies from Kmart!

GGR Podcast Review
I have to say, Elma’s review of my podcast made me laugh and laugh. “It’s great, she warbles on about knitting and her contraceptive implant and leeches before getting around to any running talk…” Just about sums it up, really!
Which reminds me – Elma also emailed to say she was having trouble seeing my previous episodes in iTunes. So I did some investigating and found out that my RSS feed was only showing episodes for the past 30 days. Whoops! I’ve fixed it up now. So if you need to get any back episodes, you should be able to find them in iTunes. If it doesn’t auto-update, just right-click on the podcast title and tell it to “Update podcast” or “Show all episodes.” You’ll see ’em.
And hey, maybe I could even, you know, record a new show this week? I’ll give it a shot. 🙂

Airbrushing
I don’t get it. Is airbrushing school photos a new thing in Australia? It’s been offered in the U.S. for decades. I remember it mostly being there for the kids with really bad acne. (One of R.E.M.’s albums even includes a photo of Michael Stipe with perfectly smooth skin and a large caption: “THEY AIRBRUSHED MY FACE.”)

Home improvement Sunday. On third trip to try to find monkey wrench to fix our now-disassembled toilet. Oops.
GOING TO SCREAM. Follow instructions exactly with proper tools, and toilet still leaks. ARRRRRRRRRRGH.
@Lauren_lolly_ There are several others, but they’re not always online as much as me. I tend to be a bit of a focal point for the team.
Finally a win. Airport Express is set up and iTunes is streaming through TV speakers. Sweeeeeeeet.
@Lauren_lolly_ No, my stupid leaky toilet is causing me stress. This is just sticks and string and electrons, really. 🙂
Warm, cozy pub complete with roaring wood fire. And beer. *sigh* DIY? What DIY?
Interesting things happening on the Knitters Guild website… http://bit.ly/dCSzpR
@Kat13v Refresh the News page. I hit submit just as I saw your tweet. 🙂
@Kat13v We got back from the pub ages ago. Nearly about bedtime though…
Feeling good abou weekend despite lack of running and utter failure at toilet fixing.
