    On our way to Marrickville to see @neilhimself’s show. A little culture to balance out all the beer and cricket of the last 3 days…


    Just watched a string quarter cover Rage Against the Machine, and it ROCKED. Every time I watch a cellist, I wish I played it.

    Neil Gaiman doing a reading with Fourplay backing him up. Pretty thrilling.

    Just found out my Mom had to put down the dog today. Lucy was very old and in a lot of pain. Such a good little dog. Going to hug my cat…


    Still shaking my head that someone on Channel 9 cricket production team chose Porno for Pyros to play during an ad transition.


    @quietdiscourse If I see that Bupa ad one more time, I’m going to choke my healthier self to death.


    My Norman Lindsay knitting series continues. Sam Sawnoff lives! http://t.co/zF5bCusX


    @supercres First one is good, but I liked each sequel less and less.


    @jezfletcher @sarahhazelton Hahaha… Keep her away from loose seals.


    Ventured into CBD to shop but was denied at every turn. How can Lincrap be all out of polyfill?


    Met up with Albie tho to get all the wool industry goss. Surprised to hear M&S are now official Oz distributors of Zauberball!


    Other big news: ACS closing down woollen mill. No more commercial wool production happening in Australia. Pretty sad.


    @randomknits @knitterjp It was the first I’d heard. Apparently like 40 ppl being laid off. It’ll devastate Wangaratta, he said. 🙁


    SIDDLE. YOU ARE KILLING ME.


    RT @randomknits: @web_goddess @knitterjp 49 jobs, apparently 🙁 http://t.co/AI65roWn


    Yowza! Tendulkar is out. What a champion. I’m barracking for Australia, but I would have liked to see him get the 100th century.


    So I went temporarily insane today & bought my first ever maxi dresses. Basically giant tank tops. http://t.co/U4X9Y4pQ http://t.co/LvOZ6ky4


    @AusVintageGrrl What I hear is that they don’t spin anything here. It’s all imported in cones these days.


    @randomknits @gilmae Friday’s fine for me! I’ll be around. I can easily run into the city…


    @kcarruthers Yet judging by the article, they don’t appear to help with the problem of grocers’ apostrophes…

    Just turned on the cricket. 2 for 52?! I bet @kunaal84 is enjoying this in the Members’ Stand…


    RT @indefensible: Australia only knows how to play cricket in drought conditions.


    @randomknits What sort of mixer? Good deal?


    @kunaal84 My boyfriend is bowling, and he appears to have cut his hair. When did that happen?!


    @kunaal84 Eek! Close-up. He looks like a werewolf. Not happy. I’m breaking up with him.


    @stkilda Well, I prefer it when Australia isn’t royally SUCKING. 🙂


    @kunaal84 Did you paint your face? I just saw some Indians with painted faces on telly.


    Ooh. Hussey just got robbed!


    Clearly, @kunaal84 has made some sort of pact with Satan. If Sachin gets a century, we’ll have confirmation.


    I am my father’s daughter. Just used gaffer tape to jerry-rig my air conditioner exhaust to fit our bedroom window. Bliss…


    @SupFarn I suck at crochet. 🙁

    First “long slow run” of marathon training! 2:30/:45 intervals. Humid.

    @randomknits Now THAT is a good idea!


    Nigella’s Coca-Cola Ham, Sweet Potato Mash, and Green Bean Casserole. Yum. @ Chippendale http://t.co/Ow7QPk1x


    @drkknits That’s cause I coated it in treacle and brown sugar and put it under the grill. 🙂


    @RadhikaR Hm. I use Paprika, and I love it. It’s pretty easy to add recipes, which that article kinda glosses over.


    @RadhikaR It has a killer feature: screen never turns off! 🙂

    Hacking Scrabble (Part One) – Ooh, cool! I was worried this would be about cheating, but it’s more about memory tricks and some neat computing…
