    @sewweekly I’ve got a potential “Make this Look” for you! I MUST make Kiki’s dress for summer… http://t.co/5pv4CM4r Any suggestions?


    @witty_knitter Not all athletes are lucky enough to have body shape/appearance that gets sponsorships. http://t.co/uCASASMg


    @witty_knitter It’s a lovely ideal, but if you stick with that, the only Olympic athletes will be the independently wealthy.


    @witty_knitter Unless you’re saying the government should pay them a living wage?


    @witty_knitter So the guy in the article is lying? Says non-medalists will be left out-of-pocket.


    @arwenamin @witty_knitter TBH I feel less sympathy for swimmers than I do for those athletes in less popular sports.


    @witty_knitter Yeah, but students gotta eat too! If students/athletes don’t earn a living wage, then only the wealthy have that opportunity.


    @AusVintageGrrl Really? I want to slap mothers all the time. 😛


    @AusVintageGrrl Granted, I want to slap most people most of the time. #misanthropy


    Ugh. I shouldn’t watch helmet-cam videos of cyclists getting hit by stupid car drivers. http://t.co/OM2yfJwZ


    @toastman Just got handed a flyer for http://t.co/6fAi7RR5. Big AWU campaign against Woolworths/Caltex…

  • Paint Chip Wall

    The question is: How many paint chips could I conceivably steal from Bunnings?

    WHY do I bring roast chicken to work for my lunch? I feel like a disgusting Morlock picking over a carcass at my desk.


    RT @venks79: Joining NewsLifeMedia as Technology Manager end of July! Excited about the road ahead! // CONGRATS, VENKY!


    @GeorgieKnits Ooh, nice!


    @blakkat So I hear you’re back in the neighbourhood for a while! We should meet up sometime. I’m up next to the Harbourview. 🙂


    It turns out there *is* a limit to how much banana pudding a person can eat in 24 hours.


    Wow. @amandapalmer’s new video is amazing. Too bad it’s too cold to sleep in the buff in Sydney right now… http://t.co/1VXaNl8m


    A judge said the Galaxy Tab was too uncool to be confused with the iPad. I’ll admit I laughed and laughed. Talk about a Pyrrhic victory.

    @astroboysoup Nah, tho most of these folks are in it. This is just @knitterjp’s baby shower. 🙂


    Most people picked my baby photo at the shower pretty easily… http://t.co/krtWeez9


    ROBOT QUILT!! I LOVE THE ROBOT QUILT! (Zena made it.) http://t.co/4FUwr1MN


    I have been in a cake coma all evening. Nothing got done. “SNOOKUMS, THE CAKE MADE ME SAD. WHY DOES IT HURT MY BELLY?” He is unsympathetic.

    @RoseRed_Shoes @knitterjp @mrs_sockvictim Ah, we were there on Thursday night. Doing some feline-related IKEA hacking right now!


    @kristinrohan Thank you! Just rang them for a quote. 🙂


    Finally – the kitchen is DONE! Before: http://t.co/evYntf1P Concept: http://t.co/PxKKWo7o Finished: http://t.co/Z9LlTpTE


    @Alegrya It’s happened so slowly it’s hard to remember what a big transformation it is! But yes, very happy in the end. 🙂


    It’s really happening, @RoseRed_Shoes. Components are ready to be assembled in the morning! http://t.co/YCcnIFBK


    Testing it out before Mom’s visit! Japchae and mandu to start… (@ Paju BBQ Korean Restaurant) [pic]: http://t.co/GNDtAEWu


    Dolsot bibimbap FTW. I wish you could hear the sound it makes! @ Paju BBQ Korean Restaurant http://t.co/8IOi7Wvb


    Good ol’ fashioned American banana pudding chilling in the fridge. Man, it tastes REALLY sweet. Has Australia changed my taste buds?

    @3rd_Gen_ Yeah, that’s a good way to look at it. I’ve still got three, which is more than a lot of folks. I need to call them more. 🙂


    Email from student: “I’m writing a paper on Dahl’s contribution to children’s lit. Can you spell it all out for me? And it’s due in 2 days.”


    @witty_knitter I told her I wrote one on the same topic in uni, and it took a lot longer than 2 days and no, I wouldn’t send it to her. 🙂


    @witty_knitter @zephyrama @handmethepanda Did I mention it was from a YEAR 12 STUDENT? *rolls eyes* The mind boggles.


    Hm. Will have to make a trip to Lincraft on the way home for a ZIPPER if I’m going to wear my cardigan to a CERTAIN SOCIAL EVENT on Sunday.


    @Soma377 DONKEGIN. Did we discuss how effed up it is that I live, you know, where that movie was from? Except not, really.


    @RoseRed_Shoes @knitterjp Seriously. I got tired last week replacing like 350ml of blood. A whole person? I don’t know how you’re conscious.


    @drkknits They sell all kinds of crap I wouldn’t wear. 😛


    @drkknits Lucky for you, I can chalk this whole button-mania up to some sort of VIRAL INDUCED DELIRIUM.


    @drkknits I mean, am I also wearing a small triangle shawl in this fantasy of yours? Because that ain’t happening either, sister!


    Three cheers for hand-knit cardigans with zippers! (Suck it @drkknits.) http://t.co/KsOiYiWy


    Hey @andrewvalder, your Twitter has been hacked. You just sent me the “terrible rumors” DM. Change your password!


    @mrs_sockvictim No way. Ain’t delicate. It’s all TWEEDY!


    This has been kind of a crap week. Kinda hoping it’s gonna balance out soon. (Beer helps.)


    @Opheli8 IT’S DONE! Need to do a final documentation this weekend. So that’s a good thing, definitely. 🙂


    @RoseRed_Shoes @mrs_sockvictim They’re not dolls. They’re badass SKELETONS.


    RT @DanielleWarby: REALLY interesting look at sports sponsorship: Sarah Robles (@roblympian), USA’s Strongest Woman & Body Image Act …


    Can anybody in the Inner West recommend a good carpet cleaner? Otherwise I’m gonna pick one totally at random…
