    My To Do list is inching back towards three-digits again. No wonder I feel depressed.

    Sudden urge for Indian food. (@ Little Havelis!) http://4sq.com/8WSIM1

    My free iPhone4 case arrived tonight! That was a nice surprise. I got tartan plaid: http://bit.ly/cwrNAO. Snook says that makes me a chav.

    I hope @kunaal84 is happy. Taylor Swift addiction swapped for Brandon Flowers. (I did, however, refuse his offer of Linkin Park. *shudder*)

    RT @ebertchicago: Urgent to @SarahPalinUSA: “Reign” and “rein” do not mean the same thing, and neither falls mainly on the plain.

    @Alex_Manchester I got mine too! Best of luck in the race…

    @Bells_G Well… kinda. (I love Oprah. We used to skip uni & watch her show & CRY! Every episode she’d change. somebody’s. life!) 🙂

    Lovely dinner tonight with Snook and @dancingman, who offered to trade me some Yarntini for our old dryer. SOLD!

    Half-empty 461 driver just blew past Broadway without even slowing, completely ignoring my wild waving. LIVID.

    Steve Jobs carries ninja throwing stars? http://bit.ly/dt7Ai0 That. Is. Awesome.

  • Adelaide Central Market

    Grab Your Fork has a great photo-laden post about the Adelaide Central Market. When the Snook and I (and Eileen) visited Adelaide last year, this was one of the places we knew we HAD to visit. In fact, by the time we left the Snook was idly wondering what the I.T. job situation was like down there…

    Stupid banks. Stressing me out.

    Wasted half my night waiting for stupid guy to come buy our washer, and he never turned up. GAH.

    @AusVintageGrrl I wasn’t a huge fan of the movie though. Kiki Dunst as Marion Davies? Ick, no.

  • Halloween

    Halloween Update: I’m gonna make it official, folks. The Snook and I will be taking a year OFF from hosting our annual Halloween party. We’ve done it 7 years running and we just need a break to recharge. So save your Halloween links for us, and we’ll be back bigger and better than ever next year!

  • Cavolo Nero

    Cavolo Nero
    Does anyone have a good recipe to use up Cavolo Nero? We’ve gotten it in our food boxes a couple times now, and every time we’ve cooked it’s been, well, supremely underwhelming. In fact, I’d say we just plain don’t like it. Last night we used this gorgeous recipe which I had high hopes for… but it was still bitter and mushy and stringy and gross. We ate it, but it wasn’t great. I have a feeling we’ll be getting it again, so what the heck can we do with it?

    Doing some much needed spring cleaning on the filing cabinet. Anybody have a document shredder they can loan us?

    @Ezzles Thanks… I’m actually thinking I might just buy one myself. I’ve got a LOT to shred. 🙂

    Huzzah for @gumtreenewsau! Already two callers asking about our washing machine (and possibly dryer). Should be sold tomorrow!

  • This weekend I…

    • …ran my 19th Inner City Knitters Guild meeting. Has it really been that many?! The meeting was a big success, and we had six more sign-ups on the day. We’ve now got 74 members, more than 2.5 times what we had when I (and Rose and Geraldine) took over! Yeah, I’m proud of that.
    • …helped the Snook install our new front-loading washer and condenser dryer. It was rather trying, considering we had to work out how to get the dryer down off the wall. The laundry room was a mess of dust and lint too.
    • …greatly enjoyed eating some of the Snook’s homemade sourdough.
    • …redid ALL of our filing and threw out basically an entire wastebin full of old documents. (I mean, really. Do we need the lease from the Snook’s bedsit in London from 11 years ago?)
    • …did about 10 loads of laundry in the new machine, including all of my handknitted socks (on the handwash cycle!), a couple jumpers, and my Star Wars quilt. I LOVE IT.
    • …went for a 7.67km run around Newtown.
    • …built a website for an upcoming running event!

    That was productive. I can haz sleep now?

  • Unofficial Sydney WWFoR Get-Together

    Attention Sydney runners! JayDub came up with the great idea to host an unofficial Sydney event/get-together next month for the Worldwide Festival of Races. I helped out by throwing together a website: sydneywwfor.info. Everyone’s invited to come along! The date/time are easy to remember: 10/10/10 at 10:10:10am. We’re going to set up camp at the Ash Paddock picnic grounds near the Randwick Gates at Centennial Park. While a contingent of supporters (led by the Snook) stays behind to watch our stuff, the runners will take off to do their preferred events (5K, 10K, or Half-Marathon) around the Grand Drive. Afterwards we’ll hang around for a barbecue! Let us know if you’re going to join us…
