    Frocktober #21. Super Spy Dress! “The wolf howls at midnight…” http://t.co/mA67iThU


    @randomknits LOVE IT.


    Last night’s hot Epsom Salts bath and 9 hours of sleep mostly fixed my back, thank goodness. I’m still stiff, but no spasms today.


    @redambition @knitterjp @drkknits It’s a movement we came up with! Commit to sewing things in November and wearing them. ๐Ÿ™‚


    @traveller0112 It can’t hurt. Also be sure to have two glasses of wine and some chocolate. That may have helped with my cure. ๐Ÿ™‚


    @redambition @pixel8ted Wait, you guys know each other too?


    RT @redditflipboard: Jon Snow, is that you? My buddy NAILED IT. [r/pics] http://t.co/c03x5iDO #reddit #flipboard


    RT @Salon: Mitt compares hurricane relief to cleaning up “rubbish & paper products” from a football field, ignores FEMA questions ht …


    RT @forbes: Disney buying Lucasfilm for $4.05 billion, says Star Wars Ep 7 slated for release in 2015. http://t.co/N8Np8ycJ // Whaaaaa?!


    Just got my first delivery from @TempleWebster! Excellent hallway runner. http://t.co/8UDN0Oy2


    @knitterjp I saw that @ebertchicago and @neilhimself both liked it, which was all I needed to hear!


    @susiegii Whatโ€™s nice?


    @imdominating Actually most of those comments are AWESOME. ๐Ÿ™‚


    @3rd_Gen_ I’m not sure where it comes from, but it drives me nuts.


    Happy Halloween! I brought some googly-eyed friends to work. @ Sitback Solutions http://t.co/UhcQk4pU


    @drkknits @redambition ADULT CLOTHING PROTECTORS – WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE? http://t.co/QdL0hclh


    @aimee_maree You’re talking about the series that had the singing space whales, right? o_O


    RT @GGDSydney: Next GGD meet up at Atlassian will be on Tue Nov 13. Exciting speaker list lined up – keep your diaries free! More detail …


    NO WAY. Just looked closer at my absentee ballot and realised I get to vote against that asshat Mourdock!


    RT @GirlEmpowerment: We’re a culture not a costume! http://t.co/W44Q5KkV // Heh. You know Hermione would do that, too.


    @justalex75 The “For” argument is great, and exactly what I’ve been saying. The comments are ridiculous though.


    @pinkcatknits Not actually a carpet! It’s a woven PVC/poly mat so I don’t have to worry about the cats destroying it. ๐Ÿ™‚

    @drkknits @kunaal84 He forgot his computer and had to go home, so it’s being enjoyed by the guys on his team. They seem happy. ๐Ÿ™‚


    @knitterjp @crumpet @drkknits I was toying with a similar idea. Maybe we could call it “Sewvember” ? ๐Ÿ™‚


    @crumpet @knitterjp @drkknits So we’ve got #sewvember hash tag… Now just need some “guidelines”. I don’t think I can finish 1 thing a day!


    @crumpet @drkknits @knitterjp So really we’re saying 4 things in #sewvember. I can commit to that. And wearing homemade things too!


    Frocktober #20. Skirt and cardie. Are we done yet?? http://t.co/BREjogy2


    New UX contractor started today, sitting opposite me. She’s from Chicago. Go figure.


    @ericscheid Ahh, you know her?


    @drkknits Pace yourself! You’ll burn out before #sewvember even officially starts!


    Hey Coles. Putting the โ€œBack Painโ€ medicine and creams on the goddamn bottom shelf is a pretty mean trick. #ouch


    @toastman @ericscheid So how do @pixel8ted and I know all the same people but have never crossed paths before today??


    Very hot bath + Epsom salts + two glasses of red wine = more relaxed than Iโ€™ve been in a month. My back is still buggered though. ๐Ÿ™


    @misswired I forgot to mention @the_snook bringing me a piece of Girardelli dark chocolate with sea salt he got me in San Fran. So good.


    Just got a phone call from a random Knitters Guild lady saying she hoped I didnโ€™t have any family in the storm. That was nice, I guess.


    RT @MikeDrucker: I think he’s busy being the fucking President during a hurricane. RT @realDonaldTrump: Im not hearing much from Obama . …


    @redambition @randomknits I think some folks donโ€™t know a lot of Americans – or arenโ€™t on the Internet much – and want to feel connected.


    @redambition @randomknits Thatโ€™s my attempt to be charitable, anyway.


    RT @RomneyStormTips: Everyone in the path of the hurricane should head to their second or third home to safety #Sandy #RomneyStormTips

    A beacon on Broadway shows lifeblood of city – Oh! So that’s what that big red thing on the brewery is. It’s been there for weeks now.

    @drkknits @knitterjp YAY, invisible zipper foot! I love it.


    COME ON, IRISH! Lets finish off Oklahoma! WOOOOOOOO!


    I haven’t worn it in years, but I was inspired to go dig it out during that last time out. AND HOLY CRAP, WE http://t.co/ki4gPxcn


    @ljc @aaronistic Love it! Great costume!


    @jeffsorr We had a Jon Snow at our party. He had a fro wig, fur cloak, and Longclaw. I followed him around going YOU KNOW NOTHING, JON SNOW.


    @drkknits And COLOURS! Nice choices!


    Pulled a muscle in my lower back during party cleanup yesterday. Back spasms for the past 12 hours. This kinda sucks.


    @drkknits I actually said to Rodd it may have been from dancing a jig! ๐Ÿ™‚ But exacerbated by trying to nap on the couch, I think.


    @drkknits Clean up was actually really quick. No dramas there! Just was too tired to do anything else.


    RT @ebertchicago: The poisoned Halloween candy: An urban legend. http://t.co/2qnyDsXM


    @drkknits Nah, didn’t eat any more. I brought a huge chunk of it today for @kunaal84.


    @glittertrash When I was learning German, I found it really helpful to get children’s/YA books that I knew well! Less trashy. ๐Ÿ™‚


    Haha, it appears that some Aussies thought my Halloween costume was a literal “SLUT”. No, I was Lindsay Funke from Arrested Development!

    Can’t find anywhere streaming the ND game. Crap.


    Let’s go Irish! I’ve got a sugar hangover, a pile of Halloween party leftovers, and an extremely dodgy stream of ESPN live. Lets do this!


    COME ON IRISH!


    TEO! It’s hard to explain the finer points of possession and interceptions in American football to the Snook when I’m screaming my head off.


    Well, that’s one way to catch a football. Just shove the defender down first!


    I haven’t worn it in years, but I was inspired to go dig it out during that last time out. AND HOLY CRAP, WE JUST GOT ANOTHER TOUCHDOWN! http://instagr.am/p/RT497cxJON/
