Proudly voted for my friend and neighbor Tony Hickey. http://twitpic.com/2gnaul #ausvotes
@henrytapia We’re here! But where are you?
Incongruity. I feel more outrage towards this chick in Newtown wearing stirrup pants than I do about the election. Bad Kris.
@theadrianflores Actually, you’re not quite there yet. When the recount lasts a month and gets decided by courts, then you’ll know. 🙁
@knitdra Possibly… if I did them on a regular basis. 🙂
I tell you what, the ongoing mod issues in AK make me even less inclined to put my hand up for Guild Camp. All volunteers get crapped on.
@witty_knitter I know. I’m beyond caring about their opinions. But I also don’t need the hassle of dealing with bitchiness either.
@Lauren_lolly_ Nah, just talking about it w/ someone. Reminded me that for every person who wants to help, there are 5 waiting to bitch.
@gusseting But cows are awesome. 🙂
A few beers after work and I turn into Liz Taylor in “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” I am the EARTH MOTHER, and you are all FLOPS. Right?
@AusVintageGrrl Sessions. And then some Rock Band. 🙂
@codepo8 I stage-managed that play in uni. I love it. But yeah. If Martha played Guitar Hero and tweeted, that’s me right now. 🙂
There reaches a point in the evening where there’s nothing left to do but strap on your guitar and play The Killers.
“Chomped my chicken” is totally going into my vocabularly TOUT SUITE. http://bit.ly/cOHxg0
@henrytapia I like saying it like Kath Day-Night. 🙂
I am so much more productive when everybody else in the office is GONE.
Oh, David Stratton. Scott Pilgrim is decidedly NOT for “young people.” It’s for 25-40 year olds. Younger ppl wouldn’t get the references!
@AusVintageGrrl 🙁 Teenagers suck.
@gilmae Nah, DS explicitly said that people over 20 wouldn’t find much in it. They didn’t get video game references AT ALL.
Okay, I’m trying the left-handed mousing again. I’ve got to do something different. Two weeks back and my right arm is killing again. 🙁
Just discovered that Marion Zimmer Bradley wrote two fanfics about LotR’s Arwen: The Jewel of Arwen and The Parting of Arwen. Bookmarking for later reading!
Well, I ended up taking the rest of last week off due to the cold I caught when I got back to Sydney. I spent the whole weekend just lying on the couch with a killer sinus headache. (Even drugs didn’t help.) I finally managed to get back out there on Tuesday for a shuffle around the neighbourhood. I was tired and snotty, but I survived. I went for another one today. My lungs feel great, but like every muscle of my body is sore. I’m not sure if it’s the lingering effects of the cold – possibly dehydration – but my legs and back and even hands were aching. So I took a lot of walk breaks and tried to just enjoy being out in the nice weather. Spring is finally here!
Aug. 17: 7.55km
Aug. 19: 7.2km
Total this week: 14.75km (9.2mi)
Total in 2010: 605.07km (378mi)
I should be at 634km right now to meet my goal of running 1000km in 2010, so I’ve got some ground to make up. However, I finally bit the bullet and signed up for the Blackmore’s Half Marathon next month. My goal is just to finish the race, no matter what the time. I need to make up for the DNF in May. I’m really looking forward to it! The Snook will be running the Bridge Run 9K on the same day. I’m excited for the both of us…
WE ARE SEX BOB-OMB! 1-2-3-4!
Last Friday I went to see the long-awaited Scott Pilgrim vs. the World with the Snook and Kunaal. I’d been looking forward to it for so long that I thought the chances were good I’d be disappointed. Fortunately it lived up to the hype in my head – I LOVED it! I was giggling non-stop from the 8-bit intro to the very end. I just love the idea of applying the structure and aesthetics of an old-school NES side scroller to a movie. And yeah, I know that most of the world are completely over Michael Cera right now, but good ol’ George Michael can still do no wrong by me. (The Snook nearly lost it at the “I have to pee on her…” line.) I read Kevin’s review with interest this morning. I can see his complaints. Scott is kind of a dick, especially to Knives (who I loved). And Ramona is kind of a blank, passive cypher. I wasn’t bothered by that though; to me that’s just part-and-parcel of the whole videogame thing. Mario gets a personality; Princess Peach doesn’t. Somehow it didn’t trigger my feminist rage button. I think I tend to give well-written genre stuff a pass on a lot of that. (See also: The Princess Bride.) And on a practical level, they just had too much plot to get through to engage in a lot of character study. So I was able to forgive the gender stuff. It was just such a fun, visceral, WHIZZ-BAM! experience. It’s like the lighter side of Kick-Ass. Can’t wait to get this one on DVD…
Man. I always forget how far north Sydney goes. Wahroonga feels like the Ends of the Earth to this Inner City girl.
All done! Year 4 girls wanted to hear about his Dahl’s sordid divorce. Year 3 girls more interested in diseases that killed him. Huh.
OH FFS. Just saw the post. I am pro-wooshing. I think woosh-wussies should GET OVER THEMSELVES.
I’m just sick of the idea that to be nice and polite, we have to let anything go. Because god forbid we ask people to follow a simple rule!
Enjoying @VenessaHunt’s #kilrush preso. She’s doing great!
Hey! I think @VenessaHunt just disparaged “techies”. I resemble that remark. #kilrush
@Opheli8 We all know I’m still a techie at heart… 🙂
@kunaal84 Oh no!
Ran past two hot guys making out on Missenden Road in Newtown this morning. Best. Run. Ever. You rock, sexy gay men!
Soundtrack of my morning: Justin Bieber slowed down 800%. http://bit.ly/9Hl4qL Awesomely haunting and listenable. (Hat tip @titus_atticus)
@redambition I feel that way after every Guild meeting. 🙂
Okay, so I wasn’t quite as recovered as I thought. *yawn* Going to bed…
Today I get to talk to a bunch of 3rd and 4th grade girls about Roald Dahl. No, really.
@stufromoz Oh, I know Oswald. This is my site: roalddahlfans.com. I’m the Dahl expert of the Southern Hemisphere. 🙂
@DDsD The 60’s were a weird time, man…
@bellsknits Pretty! Shiny!
Cook Like a Moomin. EEEEK! Moomin cookbook! Oh man, how cute. I’m not sure about how the Finns eat their fish, but I do enjoy lingonberries…
