  • Well, shit.

    “Makeup Makes Women Appear More Competent, Study Finds.” Well, shit. Seriously? Sure, I break out the Wonder Woman lippie every now and then for fun, but you’re telling me that people make snap judgements that someone who wears makeup is better at her job than someone who doesn’t? That sucks! I don’t want to have to spend 20 minutes a day getting made up.

    Melty crayon artwork. That’s kind of neat!

    I would take people who don’t like the PM more seriously if they didn’t use such loaded, misogynistic terms to describe her.

    @richbuggy Hey, that’s an actual political argument! I can respect that (but not agree with it). It’s the “witch” shit I object to.

    Doing unpopular things is WHY we have representative democracy. You can’t trust big decisions to the mob, who always act from self-interest.

    @Soma377 You joke, but stuff is stupid here today. Govt passed carbon tax (YAY!), and the conservatives are frothing at the fucking mouth.

    @Soma377 “Self-appointed” =/= “representative democracy.” I get that folks are angry, but in US and AU, leaders are still elected.

    @Soma377 I’m ranting against the idea that we should trust the mob to grant human rights & protect the earth against its own interests.

    @Soma377 You seem to be having some other argument, which is fine and all, but not the particular nit I’m picking just now…

    WOOT! Thanks to @carbolicious for Kindle-lending me the next Hunger Games book. #bravenewworld

    SONOFA. Stupid Amazon doesn’t allow my sister to share a book with me because I’m in Australia. Well, that sucks.

    @gilmae Giving that a try. I think they must be doing an IP address lookup though.

    @gusseting How do I do that? Am I changing an Amazon billing or delivery address?

    @gusseting Ahh, I found it. But will I then lose books associated to AUS account?

    @gusseting @gilmae Got it. Thanks. 🙂

    @toastman I think I found a costume for you. http://t.co/ujJoDHdx

    Ugh. It appears I have to upgrade half the apps on my MacBook before I can get iOS5. Installing… Installing…

    @nolim1t I hadn’t run Software Update in a loooong time. And the new iTunes is required before you can get iOS 5. (Finally downloading now!)

    @Justacogitating You are kidding. Suddenly I am feeling a lot less sympathetic to all those lawyers with $100K in loans and no job…

    @nolim1t Snow Leopard

    And I appear to have bricked my frickin’ iPhone. iTunes not recognizing it now.

    @nolim1t No wait. 10.7.2. That’s Lion.

    @squozen Ahhh, that got it to recognize. Thanks. Now to see if it will restore.

    Cautiously optimistic that iPhone is now restoring…

    @Justacogitating Oh phew.

    Phew! iPhone successfully upgraded, now restoring settings from backup. That was a long hour.

    @squozen Must’ve been. First try at the office worked perfectly.

    Negative: My temperature is up a little bit from this morning. Positive: I’ve read 50% of the first Hunger Games book, and it’s AWESOME.

    @drkknits Uh oh. Maybe we caught the same bug on Saturday? I spent the whole day reading the first Hunger Games book. Heading to bed now…

    RT @that_alison: Carbon price bills have passed, sky still seems to be in the up position.

    @mrs_sockvictim Wow, it opens next month! Can’t wait to check it out. 🙂

  • Halloween Costume Ideas

    “The Best Halloween Costume I Never Wore.” Some GREAT ideas in there for any of you still trying to think of a costume. Go conceptual! We don’t mind.

    @crumpet I graduated with nearly $50K in debt from a US college. And that was with lots of scholarships. I was “lucky.”

    RT @ScottRhodie: Got an iPhone/iPad? When typing in a web address if you hold down the .com button it will bring up a list of other opti …

    @AusVintageGrrl Ooh, thanks. I’ve mostly given up on cupcakes though. They just haven’t gotten eaten when I’ve tried at previous parties! 🙁

    @imdominating I’ve seen a few like that. I like the idea, except for my firm conviction that I’d be zombie fodder within 10 min. #slowpoke

    @traveller0112 Haha, thanks. Amazing what a little lippie and some Bollywood jewelry can do! 🙂

    At work late, left my wallet, couldn’t get back in office, couldn’t get to our floor, starving- ARGH! Thanks to @venks79 for rescuing me…

    Frocktober #6. Another Gap skirt, fuchsia tights. http://t.co/rJe34tFk

    @knitabulous Super jealous!

    Hipster specs with a knitted finish. I am not kidding. Wankiest thing ever. http://t.co/ruYVE8tS

    @zephyrama Darling, we’ve had people with pet goats in Chippo for years. Really. It’s practically passé now! http://t.co/Bcxektum

    @MoneyWell Had a weird issue where iPhone app wouldn’t accept Dropbox password when pasted, but did when I typed exact same password. Weird.

    Sore throat, fever, headache. Going back to bed…
