    SONOFA. Halfway thru 1st oven cleaning cycle, inner glass door EXPLODED. WTF. Ariston Service not open wknds. FML. http://twitpic.com/5n8yft

    @knitness Yes! Very good thing. (I pulled photo in case they get shirty about warranty.)

    So I had a minor ankle sprain Friday (which is still pretty swollen) and an exploding oven on Saturday. I wonder what Sunday will bring…

    @SallyPompom Ahhh, did you figure out why? Was it from heat stress? That’s what we think.

    @Diepdin I tagged you on a Facebook comment. Have you run the cleaning cycle yet? I hope it’s just a random defect with ours!

    @bellsknits Have you ever seen the Chicken Pincushions I sewed a few years back? Perfect for you! 🙂 http://bit.ly/q4mmqx

    I love it with Past Kris actually saved something that Future Kris ended up needing. Organisation skillz FTW!

    @drkknits Well, it was only Past Kris from One Month Ago. That one I can usually trust. 🙂

    Google+ vs. Facebook has been decided. Snook has actually shared something on Google+, something he has avoided on FB for years. GOOG FTW.

    Walk to the bus was more painful than I expected. I hurt my ankle worse than I first thought. Heading home for ice, bandaging, red wine.

    @witty_knitter Rolled it on a run today. A bit swollen and bruised now.

    @misswired The Douglas Coupland novel? Did they make a film out of it?

    @misswired Interesting. I LOVED Microserfs, but JPod didn’t engage me. (Other than the hugging machine. I want one.) Tell me if it’s good!

    @misswired Not that I know of. Possibly. But I just read the book.

    Ack! @runkeeper won’t let me see my activites on the website. Keeps giving me a big “OH NOES!” error. 🙁

    @eileenDCoE Ooh, good? @kunaal84 were looking at those in a bookstore recently. Maybe after I finish Game of Thrones…

    We are firing up our high-tech oven’s “self-cleaning” feature for 1st time. Snook says to be on alert in case it sets the cabinets on fire!

  • RunningBlog: Week 27

    This was a cutback week on our half-marathon training plan. Sunday the Snook and I were meant to run 5km with a “Magic Mile” time trial in the middle. To my astonishment, we ran the mile in 9:17! That’s 30 seconds faster than the last one we did 11 weeks ago. Monday I had a Spudds class after work. Tuesday I was busy most of the day, but I managed to squeeze in a short hill climbing workout with my friend Raj. We did repeats up and down Cathedral Street. (Killer.) Wednesday I had a rest day, then Thursday I went back to Spudds again. (I got 155m in 30s on the rower! Best of all the women.) Today I went for a run with Raj, Kunaal, and Geoff doing 2:1 intervals around the Domain. All was going well until I rolled my ankle at the 4km mark. I managed to finish the run, but it started getting painful and swollen at work. I tried to keep it elevated and I iced it a couple times. Now it’s wrapped up in a compression bandage. I hope I can still do our long run Sunday!

    July 3: 5.12km (with 9:17 Magic Mile!)
    July 5: 3.37km (inc 5 x 200m hill repeats)
    July 8: 5.87km
    Total this week: 14.36km (9 mi)
    Total in 2011: 680.72km (425.5mi)

    To meet my goal of running 1200km in 2011, I should be at 623km. So I’ve still got a nice cushion, even if this ankle does give me grief. (How lucky that it happened now and not a month ago before the marathon! I had been so paranoid.)

    I feel like punching stuff. I suppose the gym is the best outlet, however unsatisfactory.

    @jobonekenobi Are you on dailymile? Best running social site on the internets! I’m “geekgirlrunner” over there. 🙂

    @jobonekenobi Best part is just the encouragement and comments from other runners. A seriously great and welcoming community! 🙂

    @toastman @Illdrinn Interesting. Again I discover that Toastman knows someone I know. He is the lynchpin of the universe.

    @toastman @Illdrinn Who enjoy Korean food. We need a gang sign for GOCHUJANG.

    @codepo8 Did I ever tell you I met Kim & Kelley Deal 5 yrs ago when I was working in the yarn shop? The Deals are wicked crafty.

    If anyone is curious, I worked out that this is the hipster bar Bourdain took them to on Masterchef last night: http://bit.ly/cYdIlx

    OH DEAR LORD. That bar? Is trying to import PBR. Sydney, the apocalypse is upon you.

    @redambition @gilmae One of the shittiest. Reclaimed by hipsters to be ironic. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pabst_Blue_Ribbon

    @_brigita_ My friend Stephen said alumni should face ND outwards; that puts the shield closest to your heart?

    @imdominating I get your point, but some of us are married to weirdos who have issues about talking on the phone. It’s my cross to bear.

    On the plus side, no mind control waves getting through this! (@ Travis George Hair Lounge) [pic]: http://4sq.com/mVP7qU

    RT @randomknits: WWOOOOOOOHHHOOOOOOO! Welcome back, Billy!!

    @AusVintageGrrl Got my hair done. Blondie. Now watching Masterchef and knitting.

    @Kat13v @AusVintageGrrl So thrilled Billy’s dish turned out well! #teambilly

    @higdonmarathon Tomorrow? I’m seeing it as $17.99 in AU app store now. 🙁

    @jobonekenobi Nice! Which one did you do, Gold Coast? I just ran #myfirstmarathon last month!

    @jobonekenobi Macleay River Mara in Southwest Rocks, in torrential rainfall that caused flooding. Still had a blast! http://bit.ly/qAa1Jy

    Crossing my fingers for #teambilly… http://news.ninemsn.com.au/entertainment/8269301/billy-law-pegged-to-make-masterchef-return

    If the Casey Anthony verdict means stories about it will stop filling up my Flipboard News channel, I’m all for it.

    Domers: found my ND class ring and decided to wear it. Is there a rule for facing in/out? Or am I confusing with claddagh ring?

    Note to self: post that carbon tax support post card to Plibersek tonight. It’s the right thing to do, & it makes @richbuggy’s head asplode.
