Apple’s iOS 4.2 is available today, and it includes free “Find my iPhone” service. Huh. That would have been useful two months ago.

This day is giving me whiplash.
RT @mobileembrace: 5 Gmail features that we found both useful and amusing http://t.co/xDLVHaT
@sharre I’ve read maybe half a dozen.. Not a big fan though, much to @redambition & @kunaal84 & Snook’s chagrin. Just couldn’t get into it.
I told the Snook I was feeling blue today. He sent me this: http://bit.ly/9TXsFD
The mailman cheered me up by delivering my NEW SHOES!! http://twitpic.com/3926of Thanks @carbolicious for playing courier!!
The shoes are Dansko Marcelles, which I fell in love with last year from this Knitty pattern: http://bit.ly/eRyVE
@Opheli8 Mexican food and Halloween are my gift to the Australian people. (Yep, I’m totes taking credit.)
@madradish Yep, earlier this year! 🙂 https://web-goddess.org/archive/9137
@carbolicious Actually not holiday blues; bright sunny summer weather kills that! Just stress, I think. Shoes made it better. 🙂
We gave Petey his first dose of antibiotics tonight. I now have two long scratches down my right arm. We’ll call it a draw.
@miftik It’s catching him that’s hard. Finally had to corner him in a closet.
@devvyleys Top down is much easier for beginners. Toe up is better once you know what you’re doing.
@devvyleys Ah, just realised you’re doing a Christmas stocking! Definitely go top down then. Toe up is better for WEARING only. 🙂

Happy Anniversary, Snookums
Saturday was our sixth wedding anniversary, so as usual we planned a special dinner to celebrate. And where better to celebrate than a “subterranean Italian seafood restaurant”?!
A couple months ago Eva forwarded me one of those “deal of the day” links where the offer was a 4-course dinner at Grotta Capri. I freaked out. Grotta Capri was in Muriel’s Wedding! It’s the crazy restaurant/bar where Sophie Lee (and the other mean girls) told Muriel that they didn’t want her hanging out with them anymore. It actually exists, and it’s here in Sydney. (It’s also famously crawling with actual mobsters.) So that’s where we went! The food was alright, nothing too special really. The main draw was sitting in an insane restaurant covered in blue stalactites and assorted nautical flotsam. There was a DJ on playing a truly demented mix of holiday, mafia, and party classics. (I’m not joking. We went from “Blue Christmas” to the theme from The Godfather to “Y.M.C.A.”) The cocktails were awful, but the tiramisu was pretty good. It was just so cheesy and fun. We had a nice time.
I’m lucky to have somebody willing to indulge these whims!

Birthday knitters! Lovely afternoon. http://twitpic.com/38r3jz @knitabulous @drkknits and Jane
@Lauren_lolly_ I sold one to a mate for $200. Couldn’t be bothered putting it on eBay.

@gilmae I am a Twitter law unto myself. 🙂
@TimBags Haha, yeah. Rodd and I have been dying to try it. Somewhat disappointing. Too salty and not crispy enough. 🙁
I’m pooped. Bedtime.
Awww, it thinks it’s people. http://twitpic.com/38yf11
There’s nothing to start a week off right like a Monday morning emergency trip to the vet. *sigh* Petey has a suspected UTI. Poor thing. 🙁

@kunaal84 OOOH, which one? I don’t picture Guy as much of a cricketer. Wes?
Jesus. For future reference, 11:45 on Saturday is the time all the a-hole teenagers go to the movies.
Going for a run to hopefully mitigate some of the day’s impending excesses… 🙂

Casa 360°. Is this a real house? Because I kind of love it.

HP Talks American
Hahahaha… The Harry Potter cast tries to talk American. The Snook thought that Draco was the best, but I thought Rupert was pretty good (except for that dodgy “mozzarella”).
