    Any of my buddies have a Foxtel login they can let me use so I can stream the football game from ESPN? 🙂


    @witty_knitter I’m workin’ on one right now, so hang on for a few minutes. Thanks… 🙂


    Streaming radio of BCS game – I haz it. Thanks to those who offered to help!


    Well, crap. Alabama touchdown on opening drive.


    My Grandma Veva predicted a bloodbath. She may turn out to be right.


    @AusVintageGrrl All good. Thanks…


    35-0. Ouch. Glad I didn’t take the day off for this. Also, can’t remove my ND hat since my hair was wet and it’ll look all weird. *sigh*


    @drkknits At least we just scored once.


    @toastman @Illdrinn While agree in spirit, being married to a Googler means he’s *always* my public interface to Google. Fringe benefit. 🙂


    @eobeara @LeeanneField I booked in for MRI next week. Enough waiting, time to see if there’s something else wrong.

    The heat today (109F!) ruled out any ND wear beyond a cap. GO IRISH!

    At Disney Parks, a Bracelet Meant to Build Loyalty (and Sales) – NYTimes.com – This sounds fascinating. I think it’s a great idea, privacy wonks be damned. If I was a kid and a robot bird addressed me by name my head would explode!

    @mikeefreedom Definitely! As long as you’re not staring at the computer while you boogie. 🙂


    Feminist rage rising. At least I’ve got more anecdotes the next time the family start asking why I haven’t had kids.


    @Illdrinn We took six flights in the last three weeks – here, NZ, US – and I think I had to do the scanner in every single one. :-\


    Sewists – I bought some Hawaiian print rayon to make a dress. I was thinking Oolong. Bad choice? Do I need to line rayon? With what?


    @redambition Hahahahaha… halter dress? My boobs are laughing at you. We need a bra, and strapless ones SUCK.


    @redambition @twelveeyes Mine has rubber strips to hold it up, but my skin is sensitive and I end up itching constantly. Not a Good Look.


    Just informed guys on my office floor that we’ll be listening to the ND game tomorrow afternoon rather than music. They’re cool with that.


    @randomknits WAIT, ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT MY RAYON QUESTION? BECAUSE I TOTES GOOGLED THAT. 😛


    @drkknits @randomknits About damn time.


    @3rd_Gen_ I use ’em! I store knits and out of season bedding in them.


    @Lackadazy I considered the Hobbit for about 2 seconds. A DOZEN DWARVES??

    @cdeagle It sounds more impressive than 43. 🙂


    @LeeanneField @eobeara I’ve hit one-year anniversary on my knee issue as well. Wish I was as upbeat about recovery!

    Stop saying lusty blow!


    @misswired @the_snook Yes, he does! It actually belongs to @toastman, I believe.


    Nice one, Hussey. As Richie said, he’s That Sort of cricketer.


    We built the Space Shuttle today. http://t.co/H9UR8Qzc http://t.co/yvNW4uyH


    Back to work, and trying out real-time bus info from TripView. Holy crap, it works! Utopia!


    Forecast Tues is 43C / 109F. This means that in the space of one week, we’ve spanned 50C (122F) going from Chicago to Sydney. #roasting


    @imdominating Which episode? There are a couple “filler” ones in there, more so in season 3 though.


    Inbox zero achieved. Now I suppose I need to do some actual work!


    @imdominating I knew it! That’s widely considered the worst ep ever. So you’re well into season 3 then?


    @imdominating @drkknits You’ve been through the whole New Caprica storyline? That’s the bridge to Season 3. Also, my fave eps EVER.


    @imdominating @drkknits Colonel Tigh with the eyepatch advocating suicide bombing. Just can’t get over that.

    Home sweet home. And Snooky spotted Jackie Weaver and Darren Hinch at baggage claim! (@ T1 International Terminal) http://t.co/0rXCYSsz


    It’s good to be home.

    Holy crap. Back garden turned into a JUNGLE. Garden work now moved up priority list. Anybody got a good landscape contractor in Sydney?

    Caffeinating. This barista seems awesome. (@ Kimo Bean at Saratoga Road) http://t.co/D2zJn552


    Bought myself a pretty dress. Now going in search of mochi shaved ice… http://t.co/7UQ9tPDb


    @drkknits Not. Scrolling. Back.


    Shaved ice FAIL. Ailana Waikiki is closed, and other location closed AS WE WERE WALKING IN. I give up.


    @drkknits Spent an hour chasing it down during rush hour. Eff that. Going for booze instead.


    A final round of Mai Tais, just for @drkknits. (@ Da Big Kahuna Restaurant & Tiki Lounge w/ 2 others) [pic]: http://t.co/NGPczRb1


    Bags are packed. Just waiting for the Snook so we can check out and head to the airport!
