@CastIronBalcony You can get it. I bought a ginormous piece at Australian Meat Emporium in Alexandria.

---

Broke out the knitting for the first time at the new job. Not too many strange stares in the communal kitchen, thankfully!

---

Craft Enabler and All Around Awesome Person of the Day Award goes to @randomknits, and if there’s any justice she’ll get that new job too!

---

Going to yoga for the first time in YEARS. This is going to be painful, I think.

---

Yoga. Ow. Ow. I continue to have the proportional arm strength of a baby T. rex.

---

Clarification: my gripe about XBMC was in no way a comment on Snook’s technical ability! Rather that OS software sometimes shits me.

---

Me: “Dracaris!” Cat: *blank look* Me: “Dammit! Smite my enemies!” Cat: *licks self*

---

@drkknits @randomknits I wore black this past Friday. Still trying to gauge corporate reaction to wacky tights.

@drkknits Re-watching all of AD in preparation for upcoming new episodes. 🙂

---

@drkknits @surrenderdotty I don’t want no part of your tightass country club, ya freak bitch! (God I love Franklin.)

---

@drkknits @miss_reecie @surrenderdotty Has anyone in this family ever even SEEN a chicken?!

---

As the Snook enters 5th hour today of trying to get open source media center to work, I feel less bad about my reliance on iOS ecosystem.

---

@laimelde That’s the one. Trying to get it to work with our existing MythTV files and remote has been slightly frustrating.

---

@laimelde Do you use it as a DVR to record television?

---

@laimelde We mainly use ours for recording and playing back TV.

---

@laimelde It does if you hook it up to a tuner card. Theoretically, anyway.

@drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes Blackberry Cardigan! http://t.co/v1IfVOvbEp

---

@drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes Some plain brown Zara I bought from @miss_reecie a while back.

---

Somehow in the past 5 years I went from the girl who rarely wore dresses to the girl that now owns over 25 of them. Weird.

---

@mrs_sockvictim @knitdra @RoseRed_Shoes @randomknits I’m in. I’ve got two squares to finish off for my group and I’m DONE!

---

@randomknits Tell yourself you don’t need it. That’s when they want you! You’ll be awesome.

Slow to get moving this morning. Luckily only a 15min commute! #lovingit

---

I can finally step away from the news sites. Phew. So relieved for Boston.

---

@stkilda The Boston thing? Front page of every newspaper. I haven’t bothered with TV news, but I’m sure there too.

---

The bread photos are killing me. (AND YES, I AM TOTALLY TALKING ABOUT @randomknits.)

The first time I’ve been knitting here in ages… (@ Barmuda) http://t.co/l5IhRvOnhM

@katejf The Kate Davies pattern? I think @crumpet has.

---

Adventures in Omnivorism: @the_snook is currently roasting a goat’s leg for our dinner. It smells FANTASTIC. #paleo

---

@eobeara I think I’ve tried it in curry, but never roasted. We saw them last week at a specialty meat shop and couldn’t resist!

---

@misswired @the_snook http://t.co/CCE3f2oKoK – formerly known as Establishment 218 in Alexandria.

Roast goat with caponata and carrots. Very yummy! #paleo http://t.co/CVopkr65nn

Woohoo! New PM wants me at CBD office three days a week. Short commute FTW.

---

@Opheli8 Yep! Theoretically even walk part of the way with @the_snook, except he is a lazy slacker and goes in way later.

---

Waiting for the Snook so he can walk me home for the first time! (@ Darling Quarter) http://t.co/KfmBpaBbLV

@witty_knitter @stufromoz @SandraHW I am also a massive fan if this app. Cook from it nearly every night!

---

@ozdj Okay, that’s hilarious. The guy that owns that scooter lives on my street in Chippo! It’s parked by my house all the time. 🙂

---

@ozdj Working on a Saturday again?

---

@clepetit @henrytapia Expat edition: I’d leave the Clock app with world times set, so Grandpa doesn’t try to call me at 2am.

---

@Helen__H Oh god no. Staying up til 11:30 probably precludes that. 🙁

---

My actual work shoes, since so many of you are worried I’m wearing sneakers! http://t.co/MzvzlUQsDE

---

@pradsword I’m wearing it right now! My only complaint is that it doesn’t sync with my phone and the Bluetooth dongle is so tiny.

---

@drkknits I had that. And then I decided simply delete the thing that pissed me off. The Internet is awesome that way. 🙂

---

On the bus to the CBD office, where I shall finish out the week. Yay! Who’s going to M&S knitting tonight? @knitterjp @aunty_toots @Yarna_

---

Email from Sportscraft. They have introduced Liberty PAJAMAS! Paging @randomknits…

---

Decided to reward myself for a good day with a Diet Coke. CBA vending machine doesn’t have Diet Coke. You win again, universe.

---

@randomknits I wonder if the cats could be persuaded to get me a pressie… (*cough* @the_snook *cough*)

---

@RoseRed_Shoes My laziness wins out.

---

@RoseRed_Shoes Also, I’m a tightarse. *sigh*

---

@witty_knitter @SandraHW @randomknits @thesiswhisperer It’s going to make Guild Camp so much more fun!

---

@richbuggy Did it make you calmer or angrier? 🙂

---

@pinkcatknits @RoseRed_Shoes Yes, but that was a one-off novelty that I regretted the second I tasted them. 🙂

---

@pradsword Well, it provides the data. It’s pretty much up to the user to decide what to do with it. I now have proof that my sleep is crap.

---

@knitterjp @aunty_toots I am lacing up my sneakers right now! Be there shortly. 🙂

You know who talks sense? @knitterjp talks sense. The next time I am tempted to feed a troll, I am going to stop and think: WWJPD?

@drkknits @knitterjp That’s what I’m thinking. Going back to initial requirement: stylish backpack that will fit laptop. Any ideas?

Don’t tell anyone in CorporateLand, but I’m wearing a self-made dress today! #laurel @saraicat http://t.co/2kwRDXP6Ya

---

@drkknits @knitterjp But you have a tiny sexy Mac. I’m carrying a giant lump of a Dell, and I need to distribute weight better.

---

@mrs_sockvictim @witty_knitter @surrenderdotty Actually that’s the cardy!

---

@surrenderdotty @drkknits @knitterjp This isn’t really for transport. It’s for walking. And my current shoulder/cross-body solution hurts.

---

@zephyrama Agreed. And tights!!
