    I have watched zero footy this year, but I am tuned into the AFL Grand Final. GO THE SWANS! (Even tho they lifted ND’s fight song…)


    The US needs to copy this Roy & HG idea of offering an alternative ‘funny’ commentary for major sporting events.


    So. Tense. GO THE SWANS!


    HOLY SHIT. NED KELLY KICKED THE WINNING GOAL. Hooray!!!


    Fantastic game. Hooray for the Swans! And there’s the Notre Dame Fight Song again… (I hope it’s an omen for ND next week!)


    Crap crap CRAP. Seems this Spring lurgy that’s been going around has landed on me and @the_snook on the day before he leaves on his trip.


    Instead of a romantic parting dinner, we are listening to authentic German music and drinking litres of beer. http://t.co/1JDBMcw5


    @drkknits I wish. Instead my throat is getting sore and I want to go to sleep. Still hoping to sew, but will keep you posted.


    @drkknits And this was a bad dinner choice for dinner. Cacophony. Going a bit crazy.

    PROST!! @ Essen Restaurant & Beer Cafe http://t.co/EYWIR181


    I got them to play “Du, du liegst mir im Herzen” and I sang along loudly and @ Essen Restaurant & Beer Cafe http://t.co/lAGI4lSt


    Oh yes. Chicken Dance. @ Essen Restaurant & Beer Cafe http://t.co/3PwoltlV


    RT @Salon: Poll master Nate Silver: “Obama has basically always been ahead in enough swing states to win the electoral college” http://t …


    Dear @the_snook, we miss you already! http://t.co/2Uh0lgkx


    @stufromoz Eh, we’ll be fine. The first day apart will no doubt be the schmoopiest. 🙂


    @stufromoz Better idea – sewing party with the girls! 🙂


    @drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes Made it to Central in plenty of time to catch 9:13. Be at Roseville in about half an hour!


    @drkknits Aye aye! *salutes*


    @drkknits I’m here!

    Dear sick people of Sydney: I managed to go this entire year without being sick, but it seems you’ve infected me the day before the Snook leaves for an overseas work trip. Oh, and he’s got it too. We both feel like crap, and we think you suck.


    A romantic parting dinner… NOT. Octoberfest!


    Schnapps is medicinal, right? I certainly feel a hell of a lot better. 🙂


    PROST!! http://instagr.am/p/QJ6jhUxJLv/


    I got them to play “Du, du liegst mir im Herzen” and I sang along loudly and cheered. Everyone in the restaurant now thinks I’m crazy. VERRÜCKT!! http://instagr.am/p/QKBNTgxJN2/

    Schnapps is medicinal, right? I feel better, anyway. :)

  • Car-share cuts need for street parking

    Car-share cuts need for street parking – SMH – Good ammunition for the next time car owners start bitching about spots being given to car share schemes (such as GoGet, which we belong to). Every share car on your street is replacing twelve cars that might otherwise be fighting over that space – and yours.

  • Cat Tunnel Couch Has Hidden Tube for Feline Companions | Designs & Ideas on Dornob

    Cat Tunnel Couch Has Hidden Tube for Feline Companions | Designs & Ideas on Dornob – Have I blogged this before? I feel like I have. Anyway, I do not think this would solve our “cat vs. couch” issues. Our cats do not like to go into tunnels. Our cats do love to shred upright fabric-covered surfaces. I need a couch made out of chainmail.

  • Ask a Korean!: The Obligatory Gangnam Style Post

    Ask a Korean!: The Obligatory Gangnam Style Post – Interesting. He doesn’t really agree with that whole “subversive commentary” angle on the video. It apparently really is just a silly dance song!

    It’s currently 93F in Sydney, and these poor Oktoberfest bastards are in lederhosen. @ Löwenbräu Keller http://t.co/syTcuFfM


    @mrs_sockvictim You need a visa for New Zealand??!


    @mrs_sockvictim CHINA?! Wow!


    @indefensible I had a client interview with charity 2 days ago where they said how effective chuggers are. Won’t disappear anytime soon. 🙁


    @mrs_sockvictim So no knitting Monday? When do you go?


    @aimee_maree I recently gave (Mac) Gimp another go and I am finally converted. Does what I need it to do without too much hassle.


    The nutter on the mobility scooter blaring ‘Ring of Fire’ is keeping pace with my bus. #fml


    @aimee_maree Yes, I’ll never pay/pirate PS again. Two blog posts: http://t.co/Xdwgehyu http://t.co/PEv1423V


    Long carb-filled week + discussion of antacid led pharmacist to ask me when the bub was due. In front of @kunaal84. HORROR. #pretzelbaby


    @kunaal84 Most of the time I love my Korean pot belly. Comes with the territory, I guess!


    @drkknits Totes preggo. Curse of the pot belly. All my water weight goes right to my navel!


    Congrats to @TimBags and Stef on their wedding anniversary! Hope they have a fantastic time at @momofuku Seiobo tonight… #jealous


    RT @Salon: It’s not Mitt Romney’s wealth that makes him unpopular — it’s his snobbish elitism http://t.co/4j1l2B51 via @sallykohn


    @TimBags So how was it? Still in post-@momofuku coma? I want photos!


    @VenessaHunt Congrats again! Incidentally, I had like 3 of your previous coworkers send me that. I’m like, I SAW IT ALREADY ON FB DUH. 🙂


    Making my SINGLE LADY GROCERY LIST for the week. Wow. Shopping for one is a challenge, but I’m buying a lot less!
