    @shanea I think those are both signs you’re having a stroke.


    @mudsurfer Damn. Wish you were in Sydney – my company is looking for Drupal devs!


    Final outcome of My Battle with Australia Post: I’m getting a free book of stamps. More than I expected! Thanks to @auspost for helping.


    @jannism I didn’t know your missus was a tweeter! *waves hello and follows @duds68 *


    @blakkat The Magnar of Thenn. Don’t think he turns up in series 2 tho. Next is the Onion Knight! Love Davos. 🙂


    @blakkat And Margaery Tyrrell’s grandma. She rocks. I hope she’s in this one. (Damn books have a cast of 1000s!)


    RT @bonappetit: Seriously though, put an egg on it. #eggweek http://t.co/IOSVpvZY // HA! cc @drkknits


    RT @tvendange: Looks like the ATO is finally considering non-Microsoft options for eTax filings. http://t.co/PDx0w2se // cc @the_snook


    @imdominating I’ll make an exception since your paint job rocks so much!


    RT @Y7News: Pensioner avoids fail for fatally running over wife http://t.co/qsROefIh // I wouldn’t say he avoided “fail”, would you?


  • 20 Supporting Characters From ’90s TV Shows Then And Now – BuzzFeed Mobile

    20 Supporting Characters From ’90s TV Shows Then And Now – BuzzFeed – Stevie’s ear spacers are freaking me out. Dewey looks cute though. And as I may have mentioned before – Ferguson went to Notre Dame a couple years ahead of me.

  • Salon.com – “New Girl’s” new manhood

    Salon.com – “New Girl’s” new manhood – The Snook and I have really been enjoying New Girl, and a big part of that is due to Schmidt. Or as I like to call him, Deputy Leo.

    xkcd: Cadbury Eggs – Cadbury Eggs rank second only to Peeps in my Pantheon of Horrifying Easter “Treats”.

  • Call me maybe

    Me: Hahahaha…
    Me: stupidly catchy teen pop song, apparently from canada or something
    Me: with a hot dude and a – surprise gay! – storyline
    Me: you’ll like it.
    Josh: oh i’ve seen it 😀
    Josh: that was alllllll over the gay rags
    Me: Hahahahahaha… AWESOME
    Josh: the ending is cute 🙂
    Josh: i wish the guy had more of a cheesy grin than a total look of horror though

    It’s fun when you see something your friend will like and are totally justified because they are ALL OVER IT already. 🙂

    @witty_knitter @twelveeyes @Alacaeriel @redambition There’s only so much room in immediate hand distance, & there’s already gears/brakes.


    @witty_knitter @twelveeyes @Alacaeriel @redambition Now I’m envisioning some sort of head-controlled air horn. I like this.


    Phone call from @auspost. No one at Strawberry Hills office will admit to posting the license to me. IT JUST APPEARED, OUT OF THIN AIR.


    And since no one at @auspost will own up to returning it, they aren’t going to pay for replacing it. Pretty much as I expected.


    I did have fun filling out @auspost’s Customer Service Survey yesterday though. Too bad they didn’t have negative numbers on some questions.


    Behold the magical license, not sent by @auspost despite their stamp being only mark! http://t.co/eoplnois http://t.co/Vmoe6phd


    @witty_knitter Option 3: Get on a bike and do some swooping of your own. 🙂


    I’ll stop poking @auspost now. Their Twitter person has been the only helpful customer rep in this whole ordeal. I’m over it, really.


    @witty_knitter But the more bikes we have in traffic, the less terrifying it is for everybody! That’s my reasoning. Screw shared paths.


    Ugh. They take Reader OUT of the Google nav menu and put in a link to “Play”?! UGH. Why can’t I customise that?


    @auspost It’s okay, really. I honestly never expected to get the money back. I just wish there had been an explanation!


    Condom or Android? I’ll admit I giggled. http://t.co/irVLvmy2 (cc @drkknits @venks79)


    @drkknits @venks79 @gilmae There’s only iPhone, iPad, iMac. Everything else was just a knockoff of the brilliant branding. 🙂


    @crumpet SodaStream? We swap ours at Kmart.


    Getting my knee looked at. This could be painful. (@ The Sports Clinic) http://t.co/bLp2DrRc

    @1lifecat @mayorofnewtown It’s not a “who sucks worse?” competition. But a hater with a car can KILL someone, whereas cyclists mostly can’t.


    Dear self: If you let a co-worker spray you with $50 perfume, you will then want $50 perfume. Think about this next time. #frugality #fail


    @twelveeyes @redambition It’s a Salvatore Ferragamo. “Incanto Charms”.


    #IIBA event. I think I just stole some wine & chicken from the wrong catering! (@ Cliftons) http://t.co/qPxglxkH


    Great slide to kick off this #IIBA presentation: salary range for BA’s in Australia. Yeah, I’m takin’ notes.


    “How many of you have a career path @ your company that involves becoming a proj. manager? And how many of you are happy about that?” #IIBA


    Heh. Side-theme of this #IIBA event is “Mocking project managers.” I’ll admit to chuckling.


    This lady is completely validating my decision to change jobs three months ago. This makes me happy. #IIBA


    @sputnik Hangover Curing Pork Belly. Does what it says on the tin. SO GOOD. http://t.co/WJrOaXDH


    Rather excited to find myself seated tonight next to Stephen Withall, author of Software Requirement Patterns. #IIBA http://t.co/pgEw1Ilx


    Dear Aunt @gusseting: Dr Amy LOVES her mouse. She played with it for 5min straight then collapsed in a heap. Thank you! http://t.co/qYUZgFyB


    More of Dr Amy playing with a mouse toy @gusseting sent her. Most energy she’s displayed in ages, the bag of guts! http://t.co/WlZb5tJn


    Petey sprawls. We think he likes to cool his harbles on the floor. @ Chippendale http://t.co/uAsdyg8C

    This traffic is killing me. Going to be so late. I miss my bike.


    @witty_knitter Bells are required by law on bikes. If he didn’t have one, he should get a ticket.


    @witty_knitter Granted, mine doesn’t always do me a lot of good when cattle-like pedestrians have earbuds in or are texting. *shrug*


    @gusseting Yeah, the laser makes Amy go NUTS. Also, Petey figured out how to play with the mousey… at 5am. YOU’RE ON MY LIST NOW.


    @witty_knitter Of course not. I’m not sure what strawman you’re attacking here, but I’ve never heard a cyclist claim to be above road rules.


    @witty_knitter Most of us are just as annoyed by law-breakers as you are! But you shouldn’t be surprised by dickheads. They’re everywhere.


    @witty_knitter I never argued with that. Those are both against the law and the cyclist should be ticketed.
