FatBet: For those of you participating in the contest, I extended it today by another three months. Venks (the current leader) is fine with it, and it puts most of us back under the dreaded blue line. Feel free to adjust your goal weights up or down as necessary. Let’s all get re-energized and committed!
Snook just pointed out that ATO says bonuses are being distributed by random postcode. http://bit.ly/NIUFD
@imdominating Why not both? You’ll probably find enough loose change in the process of cleaning house anyway. 🙂
RT @DDsD: RT @paullyoung: Now I’ve seen it all. Brian Lara showing Obama how to swing a cricket bat: http://bit.ly/nCcAU via @sbones

Sydney knitters! Miss Fee is at Kmart RIGHT NOW and they have loads of blocking foam blocks. Who wants? Reply in the next 5 minutes…
@AusVintageGrrl Awww, sorry you missed out! I called her too, going “TIA WANTS SOME, WAIT!” 🙂
@glittertrash Most disturbing tea cosy I have made: http://tinyurl.com/cxfpw9. Also, vaguely nationalistic.
@glittertrash I believe you are talking about leggings. And leggings are a crime against nature.
@glittertrash Hm. Cycling? I’ll allow it. As long as your goal is not to look like Mischa effing Barton, I’ll refrain from judging. 🙂
@_Leva_ I blame Lindsay Lohan. http://bit.ly/KvE4H There. Now you have to go rinse out your eyes.
Discovery: The reason the M&S server keeps crashing is the boss’s brother’s Ruby on Rails site. I KNEW IT! Grrrrr.
Just completed a 2.45 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/19ezo #runkeeper
@wookie_man Sorry I sent you on a wild goose chase – again! Stupid Kmart didn’t actually get any stock beyond 1 pack for me. 🙁
A slow jog home through the cold rain. Hot shower. Warming green curry with rice. Glass of red. New episode of 30 Rock. Blisssssss….
Watching “Around the World in 80 Gardens.” Me: “Aww, Auckland looks pretty!” Snook: “It’s a wretched hive of scum and villainy.”
@Justacogitating There is no situation for which he cannot find an appropriate Star Wars quote. It’s pretty much why I married him.
I have become one of those people that goes crazy when I see the phrase “begs the question” misused. WHICH IS EVERY TIME, EVER. #fb
It’s complicated, but if you mean “raises the question,” you’re using it wrong: http://begthequestion.info. Ergo, 99.9% of use is wrong.
Yes, I’m a prescriptivist. Spelling Bee Champions like language rules to be OBSERVED!
What’s really shocking is dumb ol’ Miss California didn’t realize that 90% of pageant fans are gay. Don’t insult your core audience, bigot!
@Justacogitating Unfortunately you are now doomed to the same growing irritation every time you see it used wrong. Welcome to hell.
trekyourself.com. I made Kris the Romulan! Now I know what I’d look like as a bald alien dude. http://bit.ly/fjpHv
@witty_knitter Apparently. I had no idea he had strong feelings about Auckland til it came out. You’ll have to ask him about it sometime. 🙂
RT @rhagern: Shirless Obama to be cover boy: CNN – http://is.gd/5HE. <- This constituent is very, very much in favour!

Woooo! MTV’s The State is FINALLY coming to DVD! Unfortunately it looks like some of the music has been changed, since getting the rights was the big hold-up. Crud. I guess it can’t be as bad as the Dawson’s Creek debacle though.
Periodic Table of Knitting. I can’t wait to see it when it’s finished.
Best wishes to Steve Runner and anybody else running the Boston Marathon today. You guys are inspirational!
RT @redambition: trying (and failing) to see what is so special about robert pattinson. <- Ohhh, @imdominating will be all over that!
This is such BS – http://bit.ly/qHFti . Were I a zillionaire, I’d spend even more time on the Internet. In a beautiful house w/ nice wine.
Used “if worst comes to worst” in email; realized the expression looks really weird in text. So I googled. http://bit.ly/15Zqti Fascinating!
Should be going to the gym, but my stomach is KILLING me. 🙁
ZOMG. http://www.lazypatch.com – best invention ever? It’s the Australian Snuggie! Except better because it’s a SUIT made out of a DUVET.
@steverunner Wishing you the best of luck from a fan and longtime listener in Sydney, Australia. You inspire me!
We bought two potted frangipanis last spring, and they finally bloomed! http://twitpic.com/3ojc2
@DDsD I used to work with Christian in London! Snook and I booked in last week. Will be fun to catch up.
@brittanieshey It’s definitely autumn, but not too cold yet. Some sites say blooming happens in late autumn, even winter & early spring!

Fat Dog in a Little Coat. CraftFail + Chris Farley reference = laughing and laughing and laughing.
I had no idea the recession was hitting the Amish back in Indiana so hard. Makes sense though; a LOT of them were employed in the RV industry. Church elders are allowing them to collect unemployment now, but some are even leaving the faith so they can drive cars to jobs farther away.
My name is Kris. I’ve been blogging since the 90’s. I live in Sydney, Australia, and I spent most of my career in the tech industry.

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