    At Strathfield Park for Sean & Jess’s engagement BBQ. It’s 41C here. That’s like 105F. We’re roasting, even in the shade.

    I told you it’s hot.

    He’s a classy man.

    Don’t think I’ll go to the RAS Arts Preview Night. $27 is too expensive for what it is. For that, I can go to the Show (w/ free transport).

    Upon further investigation, Show tickets are $34 (or $31 on preorder). THIS WHOLE THING IS A RORT.

    @jannism Well, I *could*, but it would involve a time machine to 1993. And lots of weed.

    @drkknits Well, now I’m tempted to suck it up and go to the Preview night. Unless you want to hit the Show together?

    @drkknits Aww, thanks. You should give to somebody who can’t afford it. I’m just being a tight-arse. 🙂

    @squozen Rodd uses Exetel. I think they do that? It’s pretty much “a la carte”. He spents < $20/month on his plan.

    @squozen It’s resold Voda, I think.

    @squozen Ahhh, sorry. 🙂

    @witty_knitter @knitabulous So we all boycott the Preview night this year? There’s a thought.

    Company is looking for a few more web devs: http://bit.ly/f9oDyy. Let me know if you’re interested!

    @mpesce Congratulations! Did you get a tree? Clover didn’t give me a tree; instead I got a lousy inkpen.

    @knitdra I am on my second iPhone4. I adore it. I am surgically attached to it. It is my favorite gadget of all time.

    @carbolicious Hmmm. Can you mail me a piece??

    Medical mystery solved: heat rash! My whinging about the weather is now justified, as it’s actually attacking me physically.

    @AusVintageGrrl Do they sell Noxema in Australia? Man, I loved Noxema.

    @henrytapia Snook will be excited.

    @henrytapia I was not being ironic in the slightest. He is the only straight, male Roxette fan in the entire world.

    Oh @gruber. Tell me that wasn’t a snark on knitting & crafting in your blog pitch for the Talk Show episode. Why is that meant to be funny?

    @gruber I had to double-take. Knitting is HUGE online. @ravelry is building an iPhone app. It’s not as far from your interests as you think.

    Today a fellow Yank also became a fellow Aussie and wrote an excellent essay on “Mateship and becoming Aussie.” Good on ya, Mark.

  • RunningBlog: Week 5

    Ups and downs. It’s been such a hot week, but I started the week with a big UP! On Sunday I did my longest run in many months, a 17.2km run-walk to Centennial Park and back. I did 1:1 run/walk the whole way and it worked great! The walk breaks really helped with my recovery the next day. On Monday I did an easy run/walk home from work in the evening and then a short core workout. On Tuesday I went to Spudds after work and then did an easy run/walk home. Wednesday was Spudds again, and that’s when I crashed. He had me trying to do chin-ups, and it was just total frustration. I spent the next two days in a total funk. Today I woke up determined to finish the week with a decent run. It started well but towards the end my right foot was aching. I definitely think I’ve strained it a little. So I walked the last ten minutes back to the house, and that’s when I noticed my chest was burning. I mean, on the outside. My skin. It was on fire, all around the collar of my shirt. I got home and pulled it off to see a huge red splotchy rash from my collarbone to my sports bra. No idea what caused it, and it’s still itching several hours later. GAHHHH.

    Jan. 30: 17.22km
    Jan. 31: 2.98km
    Feb. 1: 2.94km
    Feb. 4: 6.00km
    Total this week: 29.14km (18.2mi)
    Total this year: 111.95km (70mi)

    To meet my goal of running 1100km in 2011, I should be at 105.7km. As expected, that long run made up quite a bit of distance. I’m now about 6km ahead of pace. Hmm. Maybe that’s why my poor foot is feeling tired? These cutback weeks are a Good Thing.

    @witty_knitter @drkknits I had a lovely FB message today from a high school friend asking about Yasi (and she knew it wasn’t near us)!

    @witty_knitter @drkknits Blizzards may seem like just snow, but I’d wager deaths will be sadly way higher than Yasi.

    @drkknits @witty_knitter My back is really sore today from the gym. Sadly, this is the tragedy most occupying MY mind.

    @drkknits WHERE’S MY BACK PAIN LEVY, HUH?

    @chrisgander Seriously? I didn’t know that. Ugh. I’ll have to stop playing it.

    Crazy red itchy burny chest rash/allergic reaction. Snook is threatening to buy me a robot surrogate to go to work while I live in a bubble.

    Crap. Easy run became walk as my right foot feels strained. :(.

  • Star Wars: Starring YOU

    My step-brother Colfax has won the Internet. That is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen. It probably helps to know that Luke is Colfax, Leia is my step-mom Cindy, Han is my Dad, and Obi-Wan is their dog Sprocket. COLFAX, YOU ARE A GENIUS.
