    I am so sore from yoga yesterday. It’s ridiculous how so little movement can make you stiff as a board the next day.

    Being two years behind on popular music allows for fun discoveries. Today’s realisation: Pink’s “Funhouse” is an EXCELLENT album!

    @Opheli8 To brighten my day and make me consider writing TMNT slash fiction, obvs.

    Note to self: when friend asks “What happened to your knees?!” perhaps time to rethink the skirts. 🙁

    @kunaal84 Hahaha… I wasn’t too offended. It could’ve been: “WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOUR LEGS?”

    Smooching on the bed with my special little guy before Snook gets home. 🙂 http://twitpic.com/2sqh3f

    @kunaal84 So you’re saying that I can tweet @131500buses every time the 461 driver leaves me stranded at Broadway? AWESOME!

  • Shoot the Chef

    Shoot the Chef – an exhibition of photos of chefs and cooks. I especially liked naked corpse Zumbo covered in macarons.

  • Super Mario Mural

    Super Mario Mural. So fun! And lots of hilarious opportunities for photo poses.

    @redambition That sucks! On the plus side, maybe you’ll get super powers?

    Went to yoga for the 2nd time. I think I, like, strained my groin or something.

    @redambition Action is your only reward! 🙂

    @kunaal84 Somebody on Facebook told @redambition to keep an eye on her uncle. 🙂

    @kunaal84 No! I was the first one to suggest she might get super-powers. I made no predictions as to the longevity of uncles. 🙂

    I really wish I could figure out why all my website cron jobs are failing. They used to work. What did Quadrahosting change? 🙁

    @kunaal84 I’ve already been radioactive once this year. It was underwhelming. I have only very mild superpowers. 🙁

    I just unlocked the “Warm Up” badge on @foursquare! http://4sq.com/braH6H

    @thisismywww It seems to be a problem using php-cli to pull in emails. Worked before, so something has changed.

    @thisismywww They’re not php. They’re shell scripts. Trust me, I had Rodd looking at them all night. It’s not anything that simple!

  • Banana Cake with Orange Maple Sauce

    Banana Cake with Orange Maple SauceBanana Cake with Orange Maple Sauce
    We had a couple bananas ripening from last week’s Food Connect box, so I decided to try something new. I found this recipe and went to work. I don’t have a ring mold, so I baked it in two loaf tins. Other than chucking in a little cinnamon, I followed the recipe exactly. I turned the loaves out onto a wire rack to cool while I made the sauce; then I put the loaves back in the pans and dumped the sauce over (to better soak in). YUM. The only drawback is that half-a-cup of real maple syrup in Australia costs like $5, so the sauce was the most expensive ingredient by far! Still, it was a very moist and delicious cake.

  • Daybreak Shawl

    Hey! I think I finally found a shawl I might consider knitting/wearing: Daybreak Shawl. It’s not lacy; it’s not delicate; and it’s being modelled by the designer (who is a guy). I’m a fan.
