    I think maybe @dooce explained why I’ve been off lately. The September blues explains a lot… http://t.co/QkQ9w43H

    SELF: Wallowing in emo music isn’t going to make you feel any better. Time to put on some Lenny Kravitz and kick this mood in the nuts.

    Gurgle Worthington will HAUNT MY DREAMS. http://t.co/ZLf6TF2n

    @drkknits @kunaal84 I actually saw BS do Caesar on my 1st trip to Sydney in 2001! I think I’ll pass on this one.

    @Opheli8 Dr Amy’s favourite trick is to hide ours beneath her fluffy butt.

    @gilmae And yet I’m allowed to donate and willing, and my stupid veins are letting me down. Fail all around.

    RT @rainnwilson: Steven Malkmus of Pavement on REM. #RipREM http://ow.ly/6HCtz

    @mrs_sockvictim I hear you. Are you still doing the sock club?

    At Toby’s Broadway, the coffee degustation comes with an iPad loaded with tasting notes. #hipsterheaven http://t.co/CMxtpBD0

  • Macramé Owl

    Macramé Owl – “This organisation is dedicated to saving, rehabilitating and reviving the Macramé Owl. The Macramé Owl is a rare species that is dreadfully declining in numbers worldwide. This heartbreaking situation is partly due to the difficulty in finding jute at local craft shops. It is further exacerbated by a lack of a sense of humour in humans for the sake of Seriousity.” HA!

    @Soma377 That pretty much goes everywhere. You have to answer that question here too.

    @Soma377 I think the US may ban me for living in the UK for 2 years, actually. Even though Mad Cow was well over by then…

    I dropped a lolly. And now I can’t find it. It’s not on the floor; it’s not on my chair. WHERE DID IT GO?

    @drkknits Ooh, that sounds creepy. I ended up finding the lolly on the floor 5 feet away. Less exciting.

    @drkknits I actually went to the toilet to make sure it didn’t worm itself down my pants. I discovered it on the floor on my way back. 🙂

    @imdominating Be sure the tweet the webcam URL if you GET MARRIED, DRUNKY. 😛

    @fictillius I was shocked when I read it too! But glad to know it wasn’t GoGet members ripping off the company.

    @BendalongMorgan Heh. I did check. I later found it on the floor though. 🙂

    @jannism The sad thing is, I was actually wondering.

    Feeling weird and out-of-sorts. Disconnected from my friends. How did this happen? Feel like I haven’t seen you guys in aaaages…

    @bookchellef @Lackadazy “Not available to customers in Australia.” Arbitrary geographic content restrictions on digital goods SUCK.

    Woke up to the news that one of our good friends from our time in London has died. We miss you, Ciaran. I still can’t believe it.

  • Whitney

    Wow. One of the guys who was in the Theater Department with me at Notre Dame – and who was in my group on the London Program, and who once hosted a bitchin’ dorm room party that I attended – is now starring in a new primetime NBC sitcom! Check it out. He looks really different now. Seems to be doing well though. Best of luck, Dan!

  • Being Elmo

    “Being Elmo” looks amazing. I didn’t really give Elmo much thought until he (and his puppeteer Kevin) were guests on Rove’s talk show many years back. Man, that guy is insanely talented. When he can make a character seem real enough that kids can suspend disbelief when you can see him, you know he’s got a special talent.

    Lonely nerds in fedoras. Ahem. http://t.co/EDI0FSoE

    Handyman is meant to fix our front gate. He just rang to say that he’s TAKING OUR GATE AWAY to fix and will bring it back tomorrow. WTF.

    What the–? There’s a giant net suspended over the street at Town Hall. Anybody know what that’s for?

    Oh, it’s Art! Connected to Art & About and Powerhouse Lace exhibit. Neat. (Hat tip @sixandahalfst)

    Trying to decide whether I prefer waiting at salon or blood bank. Salon gives me wine, but blood bank gives me COOKIES.

    @knitterjp I did schedule! Just always seem to be last in the queue…

    Dear Everyone in the World: Yes. It’s Art. I figured that out and tweeted it like 15 minutes ago. But thank you. 🙂

    @sharre That’s definitely weird. It was 34 minutes ago. I did CC someone whose acct is protected. Maybe that’s why?

    Apologies. My tweet about Art was inadvertently a reply to a protected user, so you may not have seen it. Carry on as you were.

    Finally made it into the chair for my 2nd attempt at plasma donation… #crossfingers

    Fail. Stuck again in both arms, and neither good enough for plasma. My second visit with nothing donated. Oddly feel like crying.

    At least I got to see the net all lit up. It’s very pretty. http://t.co/D26Q4Cjs http://t.co/kdBb7zsH

    @drkknits Something wants me to waste hours of my time and pain and get stuck and bruised all for nothing. I just wanted to help people. 🙁

    @drkknits Nah, haven’t been able to because of failed plasma attempts. Going back to plain blood tho. Better than nothing.

    Okay, who has Community on DVD? Because the entire Internet is telling me that it should be our favourite show.

    @gilmae Oh, I like Mad Men too. But I can only take so much nihilism and girdles. I need funny nerds being funny.

    @kunaal84 SWEEEEEET.

    @imdominating Leaving town things?

    I ate 2 cookies while waiting at the blood bank, and now I’m RAVENOUS. Even after eating a perfectly good dinner. God I hate you carbs.

    @imdominating Awesome! Are you hauling him back to the good ol’ Midwest?

    Stuck in traffic on an awful gray day when all I want is to go back to bed…

    @eileenDCoE Oh, RT, I’m sorry! Been having a rough couple of days and totally forgot the questions. Still need me to review??

    @chrisgander @kcarruthers Har har. (I am famously anti-knit graffiti. However, that’s much better than most of it. Thumbs up to whoever!)

  • Sourdough

    Top Sydney Sourdoughs – Oh man. Sourdough is still my carb-kryptonite. I know I complained when Bourke Street Bakery closed their Broadway location, but let’s be honest. That was probably a very good thing for my waistline.

  • Garden on the Go

    Garden on the Go – an effort from Indiana University to improve access to affordable fruits and vegetables in “food deserts” in Indiana. They have a truck making rounds in Marion County selling produce in urban areas. That’s brilliant.
