@KinokuniyaAust Til when? Do I have time to leave work and still meet him??
@KinokuniyaAust On my way!!!
DAMMIT. Ran all the way to @KinokuniyaAust and missed Ferran Adria by like 5 minutes. I am disappoint. 🙁
@rowdyrabbit Me either. Apparently Fairfax had some sort of media embargo that prevented the bookshop from publicising til last Friday 🙁

Hall of Heroes Museum, Elkhart, Indiana – WHAT. There’s a super hero museum in Elkhart? And they have Ralph’s ACTUAL suit from Greatest American Hero?! How did we not know this?! This is definitely going on the itinerary for our next trip.

@witty_knitter @buddhaontheroad @qui_oui Wrong URL, I think. Try this: http://t.co/ETMGXMxIcD
Friggin’ blow-in hipsters in Chippendale. @ The House Speciality Coffee http://t.co/z5DXixunYZ
@RoseRed_Shoes I was told about these. I am very, very glad they are over there and I am over here.
@drkknits OMG, I JUST HAD A THOUGHT. DUDE. NYMERIA. NYMERIA!
@redambition You should. Roald Dahl wrote the screenplay! (It’s ridiculous. Austin Powers mocks this one mercilessly.)
Laying out my clothes and working out transport for my first day at CommBank tomorrow. Nervous like it’s the first day of school!
@Helen__H Yep, accepted a Technical Business Analyst role at CBA!
@Helen__H Ahahaha, I can’t. My IIBA study group is that night. GAHHHH.
RT @CommBank: @web_goddess Hi Kris, there’s no need to be nervous, we’re glad to have you on board. Goodluck on your first day!
The Adoration of the Petey Cat. Sometimes he loves me… http://t.co/mZmtmmmeJn
@witty_knitter Lucky for you, the guild site accepts “Dr.” as a title (thanks to the whinging of @drkknits). Congrats!
@redambition There was all this weird crap where Dahl claimed to be a spy like Fleming but nobody can prove any of it. I think it’s more…
@redambition … that he liked fine dining and alcohol and beautiful women, and script doctoring for Hollywood let him indulge that. 🙂
@pinkcatknits Welcome aboard. Which branch will you attend?
@drkknits @knitabulous Until you mind-meld with her and thus she will be your Nymeria. #warg #puppy
@pinkcatknits Ah, then you’ve picked the best one! And if you come this weekend, you’ll even get my treats for morning tea. 🙂
@ozdj No. Because my friend @mrs_sockvictim told me what I’m wearing on my first day, and it’s a skirt.
@brittanieshey I like Cover Stories. Hook it up to your Twitter and FB and it’ll pull in all the links people share.
@pinkcatknits Oh, you can come to 2 meetings as a non-member. We’re not huge sticklers. And a lot of the Exec come to IC anyway!
@brittanieshey @shadowbottle Oh, I don’t use it much for RSS reading. I did have it hooked to GReader, and it pulled in my folders.
@brittanieshey @shadowbottle Ah. Yeah, I’d say its probably not what you want. I’m using @TheOldReader and liking it so far!
Managed about 6hrs sleep, which is good considering I’m such a worrier. Getting dressed. Thanks for all the well-wishes!
@misswired Haha, usually but not today! Got good tips on nearby cafes.
So far I’ve learned: Walk on the OTHER side of Lawson St. The trains aren’t crowded going west. And $8.80 return – WTF?! #onmyway
Photo of my first day outfit as styled by @mrs_sockvictim. TOTES PROFESH. http://t.co/LLcwVt807b
I should note that I have proper lady shoes in my bag. 🙂
Tried it with the jacket too, but I think it’s still too warm. Left it at home. http://t.co/ggaypYo0F0
@mrs_sockvictim That’s exactly what I did! Woo! I have passed the first WWMFD test. 🙂
@randomknits Jesus. I’ve been very spoiled with my commute the last 4 years, it seems.
@knitdra @randomknits Yep, slightly better. Free Shuttle would be best though!
Waiting in the lobby. Hmm. Some of these people do not look very corporate.

Woot, my knee-jerk don’t-overthink-it pub-quiz answer was Iran which seems to be [✓]. I ‘knew’ it was more populous than…
