    @blakkat Wozniak?? Wow!


    @justasitsounds Haha, “research.” 🙂


    @justasitsounds I got my sister and BIL Ron Swanson’s book for Christmas. (Actor really does all that woodwork!)


    Third day in a row of hitting my 8K step target!


    @justasitsounds Not really. It’s kind of accidental. But now I feel like I’m obliged to see how far I can go!


    Getting dressed before heading to GoT Burlesque (Game of Boobs, I’ve been calling it): http://t.co/dEpZqDLHEe. Bring on the Sexy Others!


    I bought a new dress today! http://t.co/LEQd7yqAM2


    @catehstn I thought you were just going for a visit!


    @kcIMT122 Ha, I have a Spirograph set in the shelf in my living room! They still make it. 🙂


    @miss_reecie I think I probably have even less. 🙁


    .@kcIMT122 Spirograph!! http://t.co/COvVMDuYLv


    @miss_reecie HAHAHA, I forgot about the friggin’ caftan. You get -25pts for even saying you’d attempt it!


    Game of Boobs! The Snook isn’t sure where he falls on the Lannister-Stark continuum… (@ The Vanguard) [pic]: http://t.co/xhtNnN069w


    Cocktails! Mine is “Ice and Fire,” Rodd’s is “Taking the Black.” @ The Vanguard http://t.co/GcEVtePltj


    @colespitz Is that the Colette pattern?


    @drkknits Not really. It’s been around for a while now.


    Holy shit. Sexiest bit so far was actually shirtless Robb Stark (with Grey Wind’s head) tapping and Irish jigging. I’m not kidding.


    @drkknits On his head. He wore leather pants and a sword belt. It was disturbingly hot. YOU NEED TO SEE THIS SHOW.


    Also, the Hound was this boobalicious chick who could move her buttocks independently and was giving me major eye contact. Ahem.


    @sassthat @laimelde Where are you? We’re at table just to left of stage. My husband is wearing a red Hawaiian shirt!


    The problem, says the Snook, is that they didn’t really have stripper pants in Westeros. #lacesareinefficient


    Varys and Littlefinger are SPOT ON as emcees, by the way.


    @mattallen Yep! I was like the only person in costume. White Walker in the front row. 🙂


    @drkknits @lemon_lime OHMAGOD. Jon Snow. Is either a professional ballet dancer or gymnast. Holy shit.


    @drkknits @lemon_lime I’m serious; you guys should go! It’s been extended into February. 🙂


    Non-spoiler highlights of 2nd act: Joffrey(!), Melisandre(!!), Jon Snow and Ygritte(!!!), White Walker(!!!!!!!!!!!! #nightmarefuel)


    Only act I can’t quite sign off on: Brienne. It was sexy, sure, but so not the character. I get what they were going for, but no.


    Overall I’d say Game of Thrones burlesque was better show than Star Wars version. Awesome costumes, great dancers, humour, DUDES, music, etc


    @jojoconstance They’re like ON THE MOVE this week or something. Heat maybe?

    WOW. If you’re in Sydney and you don’t mind partially nekkid people, you should go see the Game of Thrones burlesque at the Vanguard. I’d rate it even higher than the Star Wars version of recent years. Awesome costumes, great dancers and gymnasts, humour, sexy ladies, DUDES WITH SIX PACKS, cool music, great emcees (Varys and Littlefinger). And the White Walker act alone is worth the price of admission.

    Just took delivery of our new Bike Box (http://t.co/eTcECyJSW4) from @garden_storage. Now just have to put it together!


    @mattallen The importer Sam is very friendly and helpful. Hopefully it won’t be too difficult to put together…


    @that_alison I know – spent like a year looking though and couldn’t find anything similar!

    @randomknits Do you put “fray stop” on yours? I’ve seen that recommended.


    One last teaser shot to highlight the coconut buttons! http://t.co/1NCeGOEJht


    HOLY EFFING SHIT. Just had the most massive Huntsman in our bedroom on the goddamn wall. I saw him crawling out of the corner of my eye.


    I woke up Rodd beside me. He kept into action. And then he got scared. And him getting scared got me scared.


    We both armed ourselves with towels. Then Rodd hit him with fly spray, which REALLY pissed him off. He came flying across the floor at us.


    We both jumped & screamed & flailed with our towels. I hit him twice before he curled up. Rodd plunked down a glass. http://t.co/hruVol49F1


    And now I’m not going to sleep. Ever.


    Abs & Stretch class. I felt like a bulgy, sweaty, stiff, red-faced mess! (@ Victoria Park Swimming Pool) http://t.co/7IpuWKQ8V1

    HOLY CRAP. Remember the giant huntsman spider I took a photo of my our mailbox recently? I was just about to turn off the light and go to bed tonight when I saw movement. HE WAS IN THE BEDROOM. THREE FEET FROM MY HEAD. I woke up Rodd, who leapt into action. “They’re not poisonous, right? You said they’re not poisonous!” It scurried – unbelievably fast – around the bathroom door. He crept inside to have a look, and then he FLINCHED. And that’s when I got freaked out. When the Australian is disturbed, you know you’re dealing with a monster creature. He went to get a glass, then decided the spider was too big for it. “JUST SQUISH IT WITH A TOWEL,” I urged. He armed himself, and I did the same. After another look: “Do we have any spray?” So I got the spray. And finally, bravely, Rodd reached around the door and sprayed the thing. It came flying out the door at us. Chaos. Jumping and yelling. I got in two good whacks, and on the second he curled up. Down went the glass, and swiftly he was deposited outside. I’m sorry, Mr Spider, I know you weren’t bad. But DAMN, you gave us both heart attacks. And now I’m never sleeping again.

    Time for the Hobbit. Newtown seems nicely quiet. (@ Dendy Cinemas – @dendysydney) http://t.co/GfCMiDoo41


    Hey @DendySydney – movie in Newtown cinema 3 is now 10+ minutes late in starting! No trailers or anything…


    Just received post from @energyaustralia claiming to be supplying us energy. We are with @aglenergy and have not requested transfer!


    Seems @energyaustralia think A Alsaiery lives at our address. S/he definitely does not! What a mess. Don’t they check addresses? @aglenergy


    @carlfish I heard them too! We’re not even near the harbour. Scares the crap out of my cats.


    @imdominating @drkknits Ahem. ONESIES HAVE THESE SAME BENEFITS.


    @EnergyAustralia Thanks Finn. I will.


    @randomknits It’s so little and cute!


    @drwitty_knitter Are you going over there today? Perhaps we could meet up in Newtown!


    @drwitty_knitter I was hoping to go today so I could finish the shirt so Rodd could wear it tomorrow 🙂


    @drwitty_knitter I’ve got a delivery man coming between 11-12 today, so I’ll go over this afternoon


    @drwitty_knitter Sounds great! I’ll see you there then 🙂
