not martha – Washington Outdoor Women’s Weekend – This sounds fun. I wonder if there’s anything like it in Australia. (Though I suspect I would also have difficulty with the sleeping bit.)
Month: November 2013

‘Ender’s Game,’ its controversial author, and a very personal history – Grantland
‘Ender’s Game,’ its controversial author, and a very personal history – Grantland – I still haven’t decided if I’m going to buy a ticket, boycott, or cheat and protest by downloading. I suppose it’s all moot, in that I suggested my Mom buy my little brother Joey the original book recently. I should have given him mine.

Laurie Anderson’s Farewell to Lou Reed | Music News | Rolling Stone
Laurie Anderson’s Farewell to Lou Reed | Music News | Rolling Stone – Whoa. I saw them altogether a few years ago at Sydney’s Vivid Festival, which they programmed that year. The end of this piece made me cry.

@imdominating And it’s highly unlikely work would ever spin off a new business and name it after your Mom. Ahem.
Awww! One of the guys on my team just gave me a Woo! http://t.co/cJUZOh9Njd
@sharonw I do! Let me introduce you to @venks79. 🙂
@sharonw Oh wait. @venks79 is Yahoo AU, if that matters.
Never tell a Googler you’ve had a hectic day, as they’ll invariably say that they’ve been playing games for an hour. And you’ll feel worse.
First mango of the season. Damn. So good.
Just completed a 3.77 km walk – National Walk to Work Day! http://t.co/nq6I7HfnLG #RunKeeper
@sharonw Separate company, really.

@JamesCoyne We did that. It was awesome. Had the whole shebang with Elvis broadcast live on the Internet. Highly recommended.
@JamesCoyne And then use the money saved to throw a big-ass party back in Australia when you get home!
@JamesCoyne Be sure to get the “a la carte” option so you can get exactly what you want. The photographer was fun. http://t.co/1Hh81HUMcc
RT @Channel9: .@Jump_in to the new home of catch up TV! From #BBAU to #BigBangTheory, YOU will be rewarded with the latest eps! http://t.co…
@drkknits It works! Are you going to knit it? 🙂
@randomknits Just in time. I bet they’ll have giant pumpkin pies for Thanksgiving. They did last year!
Hey, I recognise that derp! Just spotted @clepetit outside the Apple Store from a passing bus…
@JennaPrice I use Toodledo! Love it. Website, apps, etc.

@drkknits @randomknits Don’t say that shit publicly! I just emailed five people to try to convince them to volunteer for Inner City. 🙂

Every time I see an L38 bus now, I hear Admiral Ackbar: IT’S A TRAP! (They don’t stop at Broadway. Ask me how I know.)

I wore my homemade horsey fascinator again. http://t.co/ydOeHFfc1Z
@mmastertheone But they pick up there in the morning. They just don’t set down there at night. Tricksy!

@drkknits Could have a look, stay the night, and take one home Sunday?
Wow. Shrink ray hit @tobysestate beans. Bags went from 250g to 200g. That’s kind of annoying.
Belt or no belt? No belt is more comfy. http://t.co/VosgSiFyT2
Thanks everyone! I’ve gone no belt for now, but stuffed it in my bag so I’ve got the option. 🙂
@RoseRed_Shoes The skinny one didn’t look great. I think I need some belt loops to keep it in place.
@RoseRed_Shoes I have a giant flower with little horses in it (the one I made last year) also in my bag. 🙂
@redambition I think the dress might need to be a little more fitted for that, as it ends up bunching around the belt.
Half the guys on the team wore suits, the other half did not. We’re teasing the latter.
@messicat Photo and location? I’m looking for some nice summer sandals.

First fitting. Hmm. The top is good, but I need some more room in the hips. Goodbye seam allowance… http://t.co/kwdp91Bnfs
@RoseRed_Shoes I got it at Frabric-a-Brac last year. No idea what it is other than cotton, but it seemed right for 1973 pattern!
Adding sleeves… Nearly finished! http://t.co/kRCEVZIwRg
The annoying thing is, I think this may be technically the best garment I’ve sewn. No bodges so far! But I worry it might be ugly?
It’s that center front seam, I think. It’s just so obviously from a different style era. I think I just can’t get past it.
@zephyrama A gift from my step-mom. Published 1973! http://t.co/GZ5HAc9ctv
@drkknits @randomknits It’s a skimming a-line, but my pot belly sticks way out and ruins shape. I think Spanx may need to be deployed.
@zephyrama The accompanying leaflet on how to disguise your chubbiness is a hoot too. 🙂
@zephyrama I’ll blog it when I’m done.
Hem length: above the knee? I’m inclined. (But this belt is squeezing my SPLEEN.) http://t.co/E4Risy0QKT
@drkknits Rodd said any shorter and I’m into Austin Powers territory.
@RoseRed_Shoes I have a thin black belt too, which looks more modern. We’ll have to have styling discussion tomorrow. 🙂
@knitterjp @drkknits Haha! Too bad; you’re gonna have to look at it Tuesday for Melb Cup work party!
@drkknits When you come to Sydney on Saturday, you could go play with some.
