    We very nearly didn’t get new giant TV into the @GoGet Yaris today! @ Bing Lee http://t.co/7ZdYhE4udc


    @SerriLaw Damn! Somebody else has already claimed it. Sorry. 🙁


    A person could get used to this HD business… http://t.co/tfaUggh3AT


    Me: “The HD makes the landscapes look amazing.” Snook: “You can see her nipples through her shirt!”


    @imdominating Oh! @the_snook invented a prize winning cocktail with it: Jamaican Dream. True story.


    @imdominating @the_snook It’s fancy. I’ll let him tell it. Me, I like a Dark and Stormy. (Ginger beer + dark rum)


    RT @Colvinius: I never gave up on you, butter. Not even for a day. (He said smugly.) http://t.co/YZLq9YhTP0

    Anybody in Sydney want our big-ass old TV set? It’s an LG 46″ LCD. Free to anyone who’ll pick it up.

  • BIL & TED & ASTRONAUT & MILEY & AMANDA…

    BIL & TED & ASTRONAUT & MILEY & AMANDA & ROLLER GIRLS & SNOWDEN & NSA & FUCKING EVERYBODY’S EXCELLENT ADVENTURE – I saw some Twitter posts recently that indicated Amanda Palmer had a ninja gig somewhere and maybe Cmd. Chris Hadfield was there? And idly to myself I thought, “Huh. I wonder if he sang Space Oddity” and then “Man, if I were AFP I’d have made sure to sing Astronaut to him.” And then today I read her blog post and found out that all of those things actually happened, and it was pretty friggin’ cool.

    Not to mention that she opened the show with a fantastic rendition of one of my favourite songs of hers
