Happy Thanksgiving to my adopted brothers! We had a feast and watched an old recording of the Macy’s Parade. Almost felt like home!
And then we played Settlers of Catan, which turned our feelings of warmth and community into backstabbing and bitchiness. Fun though!
Now I Know: The Great Emu War – I did not know the theory/myth that emus and kangaroos can’t go backwards.
@gusseting Hahahaha… Just saw the flag in Rav and was like, JEEZUS BEEZUS, WHAT NOW? And then I laughed and laughed. Thanks! 🙂
Invited @kunaal84 and @lemon_lime and @j_griego over for impromptu Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow. Hm. Need more turkey.
@gusseting Dolly’s version is better. 🙂
@gusseting I actually opened up the Music app on my iPhone and it was ALREADY QUEUED TO THAT SONG. 😛
Just realised that rockstar knitter Eunny Jang is in my quilting circle that’s about to start! #intimidated
@bellsknits Sorry. It’s for MetaFilter members, and they closed it off a few weeks ago. Mostly US based…
@binkabookitty If you were in Sydney, I’d say YES! Damn.
My neighbours in Chippo were burgled today. Somebody pried open security bars and slipped thru front window. YIKES. (cc @mpesce)
@rachievaichie I would too, except she’ll be sewing a block for my quilt!
Twitter always weirds me out when I realise how many people actually watch TV live. It’s like seeing someone with an unironic Walkman.
RT @ebertchicago: The Oatmeal on Thanksgiving, then and now. http://t.co/q65nK4PM
Cult Unreleased Game ‘Desert Bus’ Ported to iOS in the Name of Charity | Touch Arcade – Neat! I’ve heard about this legendary game; never seen it in action.
Developer creates proxy server to control any device via Siri | 9to5Mac | Apple Intelligence – So my dream of saying, “Siri, open the front gate!” when I’ve got my hands full is that much closer to reality!
So @movemberAUS pretty much forced the Prostate Cancer Foundation to reject donations from @fauxvemberAU? THAT SUCKS. EVERYONE LOSES.
@gilmae @randomknits @knitterjp @drkknits @kunaal84 I thought it was a parable about the monstrous ickiness of motherhood, hence my interest
@kunaal84 @drkknits I played Horrify the Twilight Noob with him. @miss_reecie was even funnier. 🙂
@sharre Ha! Did you just read my comment, or did we both use that phrase independently? Too funny.
I don’t get it. I’m in a bunch of online running groups. They’re uniformly awesome and welcoming. Why are so many knitters… not? #tired
@grannyg_in_nz Haha… Never thought of that, but it makes sense. Love it! 🙂
@randomknits My parents and siblings openly referred to my first boyfriend as “The Weenie”.
@randomknits Rather cooled the ardour, I must say. Don’t underestimate the power of open mockery (assuming you don’t like him).
@Opheli8 I’ve been disappointed with sloppy Kindle book conversion. Lots of missing punctuation, bad capitalisation, etc.
@bellsknits Not dominated, but there’s definitely more of a balance. Maybe that contributes.
Australian Star Wars burlesque brings you sexy Tusken Raiders – Remember when we went to this a few months back? Great video reel here of highlights. The group has a new show on soon: “The Empire Strips Back.”
Being sick at home is the killer use case for e-books. Sookie Stackhouse, let’s do this.
@drkknits I’m starting from the beginning…
RT @the_snook: I think if I ever open a restaurant I might need to call it “Snookie’s Snackhouse”.
Ugh. I feel worse today. Sore throat actually woke me up in the night. 🙁
@stufromoz I haven’t had a really bad cold in a long time. Was probably due for it. At least it’s not a super busy time, I guess.
GoT:CoK season 2 preview: http://t.co/aKjUavhO Renly looks hot. (Attn: @drkknits @kunaal84)
@drkknits @kunaal84 My finding him hot would’ve been conclusive proof of his gayness (if they hadn’t already shown that).
@the_snook What, like in the movie? He doesn’t “bing” the proper way to conduct a vampire caesarian?
@drkknits @the_snook I can do that. Shall we rope in @kunaal84?
Heh. This is the highlights reel from the show we saw last winter. 🙂
@chewxy $175… but matched drinks are an extra $95. Well worth it for a special occasion though!
@chewxy Not really. I splurge at a restaurant, but no way I’d pay $2K for a heated blender. I can make risotto on the stove. 🙂
Slept half the day yesterday. And now I have a sore throat and fever. Wiped out.
@pussreboots Thank you! Going to rest at home today and see if I can get rid of it quickly.
