    @AusVintageGrrl @zephyrama Maybe things have lightened up a bit. You can certainly swear a *little* bit more than you could 10 yrs ago.


    @randomknits I think I saw that @miss_reecie was selling that at Fabric-a-Brac, maybe??


    @toastman I feel that way sometimes too.


    @Opheli8 Uh, Season 3 I think? Pretty sure.


    @imdominating Wait, what? Levi, you mean, or somebody else?


    @imdominating OH! Ha. Totally misread it. I get it now. I’ve never had a grown up car!


    Time lapse video of @the_snook’s Fauxvember ‘tache: http://t.co/emdGmLpd. You can still donate! http://t.co/PrwNHmrf #movember


    @Krister_RtNP @the_snook I argued the same! I love a good moustache. 🙂


    @drkknits @kunaal84 Whaddaya reckon: Twilight Sunday morning at 10am at George St cinemas? Or Saturday better?


    @drkknits @kunaal84 I don’t think Sunday arvo either, as I’m not sure what time Knitters Tea Party will finish.


  • Little Printer | BERG Cloud

    Little Printer | BERG Cloud – I can’t decide how I feel about this. It’s obviously some pretty cool technology, and the design is great. But thermal printing a mini-newspaper for myself each morning seems so deliberately anachronistic. Like, why wouldn’t I just look at that stuff on my phone? This might actually be TOO HIP for me.

    People who bitch about the disagree button will be 2nd against the wall when my revolution comes. 1st of course, are the actual disagreers.


    I dragged that sucker out behind the shed and shot it. You’re welcome.


    @chrisgander Ew. But whatever it takes to get dudes to NOT pee in public is all right by me. HATE public urinators!!


    @the_snook YOU CAN SEE THE MONKEY STEALING THE PEN. http://t.co/6swCGBsM (cc @kunaal84)


    @drkknits @kunaal84 It looks like a muppet. Super cute.


    Today I learned: Throaties are red but they taste of licorice. Throaties LIE.


    Dinner tonight: Butternut Squash Soup with Star Anise and Ginger Prawns. YUM. http://t.co/2mpOCj1n


    @imdominating HA! I love the Buffy bar. Hmm, need to get myself one for Christmas, I think! 🙂


    @drkknits Ha. I worked on mine last night. I’m not actually knitting mine! Couldn’t be arsed.


    @drkknits The instructions just say: “knit, crochet or make a christmas decoration”. You know my pathological need to be different. 🙂


    @drkknits Nah, I decided to play with felt and buttons. Basically doing these: http://t.co/c1wcICeP


    New obsession: tinted lip balm. Scored some Burt’s Bees yesterday on the recommendation of @gadgetgirl70.


    @brittanieshey I have made this several times: http://t.co/6gZo3KZl. Made it last night, in fact! Eating it again for lunch today. 🙂


    @zephyrama Same reason the women on Sex and the City always wore them to bed. American TV doesn’t like nipples.


  • It’s time.

    *sniff* I think I got something in my eye.

    The Cinnamon Bear: An Old-Time Radio Christmas Tradition – Neat! I’m sure my sister and brother will be interested in this for their kids.

    My head is KILLING ME. And now I’m scared to take paracetamol… http://t.co/A4e5jy1j


    RT @Y7News: Two men found after weeks lost at sea http://t.co/dUTWZO8h // But was there really a tiger in the boat? (cc @the_snook)


    @drkknits I have lost the ability to read anything but summaries, historical fantasy, and vampire smut. I blame Twitter and you, mostly.


    @drkknits @witty_knitter Bless you ivory tower academics and your ability to parse scientific texts! I’m drugging up then…


    @witty_knitter @drkknits I’ve pretty much had 6-8 per day for the past week. That’s what’s making me hesitate. And I can’t do ibuprofen. 🙁


    @mrs_sockvictim That’s ibuprofen. Can’t take it. Tears up my stomach.


    @drkknits @witty_knitter Ahhhh… I still feel crap, but now when I cough it doesn’t feel like my head’s going to pop off. #thydrugsarequick


    @indefensible You have just crushed my inner 16-year-old’s SOUL.


    @mrs_sockvictim Nope, not a bit! And I always spot mistakes. I think you’re good. 🙂


    Realisation: the antibiotics are doing nothing. This is the flu. (Another night of < 5 hrs sleep due to coughing and sore throat.)


    It’s times like this I could kill my parents for smoking during the 80’s. My lungs are crap.


    @DanielleWarby I tried the Game for Cats with mine. One played for like 30 seconds, the other not at all. But I do have pretty dumb cats. 🙂


    @the_snook Ew.

    @knitterjp Thanks. Ventured outdoors for the first time in 48 hrs and survived. Hopefully getting better.


    A curious side effect of this illness: over-consumption of silly vampire books. Four Sookie books down… (Yes, @drkknits, #4 was THE BEST.)

    Retro Space Age Stockings – These are AWESOME. I think I might need to make a couple for us.
