Hooray! Mikey Filmmaker (who won this year’s Oscar Contest) has finally received his Batman and Joker sock monkeys. I’m glad they went to somebody who truly appreciates them! 🙂
Wait wait wait… Someone in Chippendale has a pet goat?! THAT. IS. SO. COOL. Screw Rent-a-Chook; I want a little billy goat!

I feel the best I have in the past fortnight. I did my first boxing workout in a week yesterday, and it felt great to be active again (though I’m pretty sore today!). The Snook and I tried out a recipe from Good Eats last night that turned out GREAT. (Recipe and photos coming soon.) I got a good night’s sleep. When I weighed myself, I found that the extra pound I picked up last week had vanished. (It really was just water weight, presumably related to getting sick.) I finished Na Craga this morning, soaked it with water, and pinned it out to block. (Wool is amazing. For all my lamenting of my tight tension, once I got it wet I was easily able to pull it out to the correct dimensions.) When I got to work this morning, there was a bottle of champagne on my desk as a birthday present from my company. (All the March birthdays got one.) And today’s the Snook’s last day at Komosion, so we’ll be celebrating tonight. He starts at Geekdom on Monday.
And how was YOUR week?
We support Notre Dame and its President, Father John Jenkins, for inviting President Obama to speak at the 2009 commencement. Sign the petition, folks.

RT @balsamiq Good article about prototyping tools from #AdaptivePath: http://is.gd/oXWM (I didn’t realize there were so many!)
likes to mock Dave Matthew Band nowadays, but when it pops up on iTunes randomly, I don’t turn it off. It’s totally 1997 in my head!
@knitabulous Remember to keep your eyes peeled when you walk your stuff to the table & let me know if you spot any serious Aran competish!
@realtimshady I once read the whole thing IN ONE NIGHT trying to make deadline for a paper in college. I couldn’t see straight the next day.
@mrs_sockvictim Me too. Trying out a new recipe. If it works, you may want it yourself! (Lamb, carrot, and barley stew.)
wonders why I never notice all the white cat hair on my black T-shirt until I step out the front door.

I kind of love Porkins as Henry VIII.
I took Na Craga in to work today (since I’m hoping to finish it off at the Stitch & Bitch tonight). I was showing it off to a couple people in the office.
Co-worker: How long have you been knitting for?
Me: Oh, five or six years. This jumper’s taken me about four months.
Her: Can you purl too?
Me: Yeah. I can purl too.
I have half a dozen big balls of pastel cotton that really need to become a granny square blanket for my brother’s upcoming new baby…

is trying out Cha-Ching for iPhone. Got any good tips? Doesn’t really seem to have docs other than support forums. #app
hasn’t run in a week. It’s like inertia has taken over. I need to get back out on the road!
