    It’s too hot to wear actual shoes. Luckily @the_snook hooked me up. #swag http://t.co/TsXHGcMY


    Officially joined the Pale Women Who Carry a Parasol Club today. #hot http://t.co/NyyiBwO2


    Observatory Hill (which I can see from my office) just registered 44.9C. That’s 112F. Hence the parasol. #effinghot


    RT @steven_noble: @web_goddess You managed to get “parasol” and “effing” into the same Tweet! // I’m such a lady, I know. 🙂


    RT @RoseRed_Shoes: Wha? Just turned over to cricket. Aus 7/37 in 15th over?! I’d be demanding my money back. // Now 8/38!! What the hell?!


    @chrisgander Hey, kinda! Beard and similar glasses. That dude’s got a little more hair though. 🙂


    @drkknits @pinkcatknits Damn you! In thumbnail I didn’t realise there were feet in the photo. Then I clicked.


    @lemon_lime @drkknits @pinkcatknits Only in recent years. Mostly due to a flood of horrible feet photos from knitters.


    @lemon_lime @drkknits @pinkcatknits You did. My own feet don’t gross me out like others’. 🙂


    Dear lace knitting: I HATE YOU AND YOUR ASS-FACE.


    @drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes @lemon_lime I’m just annoyed I didn’t use it as the title of my Easter Show Entry. “ASS-FACE RED LACE SCARF”


    @drkknits @lemon_lime @RoseRed_Shoes @randomknits I GODDAMN DID THE SAME MISTAKE AGAIN! YOU MOCKERS TOTES CURSED ME!


    *Somebody* doesn’t mind that I suck at knitting lace. *Somebody* is the handsomest boy in the whole world! http://t.co/jpe5KGzR


    THE LACE IS OFF THE NEEDLES! Phew. I’m never doing *that* again. Now, who’s got blocking wires? @randomknits?

    Snook: “It has voice search, see? ‘What is the weather like?’” *reads from screen* “‘What is… a retard?’” Me: “BWAHAHAHA!” #android #fail


    @knitdra Oh man, that seriously sucks. I love the light in that kitchen!

    I bought a Brie from Harris Farm last Saturday. We ate it all up. Now @the_snook is imagining he has listeriosis.

  • Hottest. Day. Ever.

    Hottest. Day. Ever. And for once, that’s not just Comic Book Guy hyperbole. It hit 45.8 degrees Celsius today in Sydney, which is the hottest ever temperature recorded here. That’s 114.4F! I hope the kitties are okay at home…

    Holy shit. Manti Te’o’s dead girlfriend was a HOAX? http://t.co/xsVaZQVn Internet, you are SO WEIRD AND CRAZY.


    @witty_knitter Claims he didn’t know. I hope he didn’t. There was a big sentimental push for him to win the Heisman (award for best player).


    @witty_knitter So presumably argument is that it was a ploy to get votes. But it’s the internet – just as easily could be hoax on him too.


    @mrs_sockvictim I thought you were going to Russia. Did you go to Russia?!


    @mrs_sockvictim Good. I read that Russia was really, really, REALLY cold this winter.


    @witty_knitter Whoa. Some commenters guessing that he might be gay, and as he’s a Mormon he was using a fake girlfriend as cover.


    @MrMikeLawson Shower and blow dry at work. That’s what I do.


    Got a reply back from @131500buses in response to my complaint yesterday. This is like my third angry letter to them. I’m so on a list now.


    Somehow I only think about having kids when I hear Paul Kelly’s “Deeper Water.” But that’s messed up, because *SPOILER* the Mom dies!


    Who’s going to knitting? @knitterjp @smark31 @yarna ? I’m thinking of heading straight to the Bowlo…


    @knitterjp @smark31 @yarna On my way! I’m walking so it’ll be a bit.


    Samuel L Jackson Singing Taylor Swift http://t.co/U3zZ1M9I Attention @randomknits!!


    RT @BarackObama: Happy birthday, @MichelleObama! http://t.co/brzSPUQK


    Thanks to CBD gridlock, I had an impromptu 25min walk to work in 30C heat. Drenched now. Late. Enraged. FIX IT, BARRY.

    Best AskMeFi ever: Are we given any indication about the nature of Fozzie Bear’s sexuality? http://t.co/LDqpxix0


    Haha, apparently #Fitbit allows me to “taunt” my friends on there. I just taunted @crumpet. TAKE THAT! 😛


    @richbuggy I have no idea what the “taunting” does. Or do you mean on account of exercise? Rest easy; I am mostly sedentary due to injury.


    @chewxy @richbuggy Easier said than done. I’m having an MRI on my knee in about 15 hours.

    @drkknits I cut it up and had enough for three salads!


    @Ascasewwen Zig zag for me too. Although I learned recently from Negroni shirt pattern how to do flat felled, which is awesome.

    There are, like, 10 babies in the waiting area. I hope I don’t get sick. (@ Broadway General Practice) http://t.co/6OoMtpo3

    Very disheartening seeing friends get screwed over professionally. Seems to be the theme of 2013 so far. Poo.


    Ouch. That’s gonna leave a bruise.


    I tried to cheat Fitbit’s altimeter by taking an escalator. It didn’t work. Smart, #Fitbit.


    Just officially entered three items in the Easter Show. One cabled thing (as always), one intricate thing, and one wacky thing. #hermione


    Real-time bus data means my Angry Old Lady complaint emails to @131500buses are that much more specific.


    Highlight of my commute: girl on bus reading Lady Chatterley’s Lover with illustration of boob on the cover. #notsarcasm


    @drkknits I wish you were on Spotify so I could hear it too!


    It appears I have converted another person to #paleo. One more and I get a free bison to eat!
