I’m off to visit the 3rd graders at Willoughby Public School and tell them all about Roald Dahl. Fun!

Fellow Knit Campers: Any of you get some of that purple Shadow Tweed you’re willing to part with? My afghan is growing….
Just completed a 6.56 km run with RunKeeper – CRAP. Dehydrated. Lower back hurts. Should have skipped this one!
Me: Dude. Ben Folds + Nick Hornby + Pomplamoose.
Snook: Hah. Hipster asplosion.
Me: Totally.
I love it!
Phew. Survived my performance appraisal with @venks79. Such a taskmaster! 😛
@kunaal84 Well, *I’ll* be there. I’m not so sure about *you*. 🙂
Anyone else wanna see Savion Glover @ the Opera House? (Time to break out my CD of Bring in Da Noise Bring in Da Funk.) http://bit.ly/9WfGNz
Snook made me watch The Guild. Even after years of him playing Warcraft, I still only understood like half of it.
Crochet is happening, people. IT’S HAPPENING!
I don’t mean “it’s happening” in the sense that it’s, like, cool or anything. I just mean it’s OCCURRING. I’m not that crazy.
Look who I ran into on the bus! It’s @Opheli8! Fun. She’s a sorta-neighbor now…
It would have been cooler if I’d attached the photo of me and @Opheli8… http://twitpic.com/2jsfky
Ooh, Savion Glover performing! Anybody else want to go? I’m not the hugest dance fan in the world, but this is a rare opportunity to see somebody who is unquestionably the best in the world at something, doing what he does best.

Joss Whedon in Sydney
Yesterday I joined the Snook and Kunaal at the Sydney Opera House to see Joss Whedon. It was pretty fun! Joss was hilarious, and Wil Andersen didn’t do too bad a job interviewing either. (There are a lot of quotes from the event here.) Then they opened it up for questions at the end, and I just CRINGED knowing what was going to happen. The Nerd Parade began! Instead of asking anything, you know, insightful, fully half of the people chosen used the opportunity to A) show off their fanboi credentials; B) beg Joss for a job/hug/lock of hair; C) explain their weirdo name, like we cared; D) ramble on and on in such a way that nobody knew what the actual question was. I mean, I know they’re my people and all, but why is it always the Aspies who go for the microphones?
@knitterjp I did! Thank you…
@sharre And @kunaal84, but I don’t think you’ve met him yet…
Going to see Joss Whedon. Snook’s decided to wear red Sheldon pants and Three Keyboard Cat Moon shirt. “Nerds – they’re my people!” he says.
@Opheli8 SupaCenta is like level 5 of Inception.
Swarm? Come on mah nerds! (@ Sydney Opera House w/ @daniellewarby) http://4sq.com/67UmdR
@Kat13v @EclecticRose1 @sharre I’m up for that!! Say the word…
Joss was great! But man, some serious nerds in that audience. I mean, yeah, we like Buffy, but we can still FUNCTION in SOCIETY. o_O
Thanks to everyone who offered washing machine advice. We ordered the F&P frontload washer and condensing dryer stacking combo!
Holy hell. I’m crocheting.
@thisismywww I’ve lost my knitting mojo. Desperate times call for desperate measures!
@drkknits All I want is for my laundry room ceiling not to get moldy! Everything else is just a bonus. Including fries. 😛
@mrs_sockvictim Couldn’t muster any knitting enthusiasm. Decided to see if I could figure out a crochet pattern. 😛
Just completed a 6.30 km run with RunKeeper – Halfway done. Switching interval freq. Shoes are good!
Just completed a 6.63 km run with RunKeeper – Pretty damn good. New shoes made a big difference! Still have energy…

I will totally cop to being a Politeness Enforcer. Granted, if a bus was empty I wouldn’t bother, but if it’s getting full and you have your bag on a seat? Be prepared to move it!
Historical knitting nerdery
Digital Resources from the Knitting Reference Library WSA . The University of Southampton have digitized much of Richard Rutt’s collection of 19th century knitting books. They’re brilliant. (Link courtesy of peacay‘s Google Reader feed.)
