    @drkknits @imdominating Okay, the baby skeleton tank top is kinda cool in a creepy way.


    @drkknits @imdominating And if I wore such things, I’d totally get that bedazzled G-string just to freak the shit out of the Snook. HA!


    @drkknits @imdominating But really, I’d totes just instagram some a little tweed hat and some sneakers. #hipsterbaby #theworldwantstoknow


    @imdominating @drkknits Probably also be a comet in the sky, all Danaerys-style too.


    Looking at Bohus sweater kits from Sweden… but I strongly suspect they do not look good on women with biggish boobs.


    You know, if I wanted to be a total blogging sellout, I could. My PageRank lures in the marketroids like you wouldn’t believe.


    Well, the microwave works again. So today’s not a total loss. http://t.co/VmGSkf3g


    @redambition When I did my first run a week ago, it kicked in DURING THE RUN.


    Wait. The Mythbusters theme song is arranged by the Dandy Warhols? How did I miss that before?! Is it new? (cc @voicework)


    @voicework Very cool. And since they did the Veronica Mars soundtrack, they’ve done 2 of my favourite shows!


    RT @grantimahara: In which I welcome @Revision3 to our @Discovery family… GANGNAM STYLE. VIDEO http://t.co/8zamDupU


    So proud: my nephew Penn discovered Calvin & Hobbes. I know a little boy who’s getting his own Hobbes for Christmas! http://t.co/izYOI8Dy


    @sydneyflaneur @witty_knitter @the_snook 500 QUID?! I’m in the wrong line of work. 🙂


  • Wreck-It Ralph

    Totally agree with io9 on this one: the trailer for Wreck-It Ralph looks great! There better be a Ms. Pac-Man cameo in there somewhere…

  • The pandas are coming!

    WoW: Mists of Pandaria
    The big news around these parts, of course, is that the pandas are coming. You know, I have to say, this trailer makes it look awesome. Two races that hate each other land in a strange place, start up their fight, and then discover the locals can kick their butt? It looks cool. I would play that game. Unfortunately though, I’ve played WoW and I know that instead it’s more like, “Kill 47 rats and then take this message somewhere” over and over until I get bored. The Snook is looking forward to it though…

  • “Elegant and Fine”

    “Elegant and Fine” – another short story written from the point of Susan from the Narnia books. Lots of people have trouble with Susan, myself included. And I don’t think it’s Susan’s fault. I can’t find it in the archives, but I’m sure I’ve talked about Neil Gaiman’s “The Problem of Susan” before as well… (Link courtesy of John.)

    @knitabulous What?! Oh no! Very sorry to have you in the Injured Club. 🙁


    Just learned you aren’t allowed to donate if you’ve had reflux in the past week, and especially not if it kept you aw http://t.co/frSuz6yL


    …kept you awake all last night. That sucks.


    @randomknits Snook sometimes finds he is wearing an Invisible Jumper of Egregious Approachability. Perhaps you are today too?


    @rachievaichie Acid in digestive tract can damage it and make more susceptible for bacteria. Fine for me, not for sick folks. 🙁


    Trying to soothe my thwarted sense of volunteerism with a bacon & egg roll. (@ Swagman’s Post Courtyard Cafe) http://t.co/QYY3EO90


    Actually just tried to win radio contest for 1st time since high school. That was TOTES Islands in the Stream!

    WOO. Thank you @kellymcmahon! Managed to score reservations at https://t.co/9Ydczkl4 in Chicago for Dec. 29. CANNOT WAIT.


    I need, like, a Bat-signal of some sort for @drkknits and @imdominating. This is for you: http://t.co/xEKZZFGb


    FFFFUUUUUUU. Hermione misread the goddamn pattern again, didn’t she.


    @knitterjp @drkknits @randomknits Knitted like 75 rows looking at wrong pattern. Not very different, but aim is perfection so I frogged.

    Thank you for the tipoff, @Kelly McMahon! Just scored two tickets to https://www.nextrestaurant.com for December 29. I’m super excited. Japanese food? Kyoto style? This is going to be interesting…

    It’s Running Festival weekend, and I can’t even walk. Knee still hurts, and I just rolled my damn ankle walking home. Going to cry now.


    @randomknits Limping home through crowds of hoochie-mamas on stilettos in Darling Harbour didn’t help. Felt like a lame, sweaty troll. 🙁


    @drkknits Poor thing. Similar straits here. Could not feel sorrier for myself if I was on fire. Let’s agree to try to cheer up tomorrow.


    RICEW: Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation, Wine.


    @witty_knitter I rolled this one about 3 times last year. Had hoped it was all better. Very frustrating.


    @witty_knitter This one goes back all the way to high school, really. Lasting legacy of my aborted tennis career.


    @AusVintageGrrl Well, I know @thisismywww, so I’m a 3. Maybe closer; my BIL @carbocommander is in Movie Biz. Or maybe thru @mrs_sockvictim?

    @theadrianflores I work in the Rocks. I don’t play ball, but I think a few guys in our office do. You want me to ask them?


    @theadrianflores Ha. One of the Sitback guys already plays in that comp, he says, on the “ishares all stars” team?


    @theadrianflores Two brothers are interested in playing: beto.renteria and fernando.renteria, both AT http://t.co/xoEulXu6. 🙂


    @drkknits I was totes going to retweet that HARD, but you’re all protected and crap, so I can’t. But same here.


    @missamanda I can’t stand “mobisode”. But snuggimals is kind of cute. What’s the context? Presumably a toy or pajamas?


    RT @imdominating: “How not to die alone in your apartment” http://t.co/22qvij8f … // cc @drkknits, who will laugh and laugh


    @Illdrinn As someone in her mid-30’s finally learning How To Be a Girl, this is very helpful. Would love to see a makeup post someday!


    @VenessaHunt @zosainsbury Ooh, can I crash this party and say hi? Haven’t seen either of you in AGES other than on FB… 🙂


    My name is Kris and I am a Pretzel Addict. And today I think I hit rock bottom. #halp http://t.co/6cuyli7C


    @Ezzles ERIN. When someone says they’re addicted to a thing, you do not tell them about an even more wonderful version of that thing!


    @VenessaHunt @zosainsbury I can do that!


    @knitterjp OOH, I might actually come along!


    @knitterjp Catching a bus. You guys may have moved on by the time I get there. Bowling Club?


    @knitterjp You guys go upstairs? I’ve only been once last wkend, but I think @smark31 said you were usually upstairs.


    @stufromoz @beardbeanie @witty_knitter @anniespjs Definitely a thing for a few years now. “Patent pending” is a little weird tho.


    @witty_knitter @stufromoz @beardbeanie @anniespjs I don’t think they’re *that* creepy, but then, I knitted this. http://t.co/BwECWBLq


    Impromptu decision to go to SnB led to this. Have I hit Carb Rock Bottom yet? Good times tho… http://t.co/gf0JkCEV


    @venks79 Testing? You’re a coding machine!! 🙂


    @kattjayne My soul agrees with you; it’s my stomach that will be punishing me later!!


    @steven_noble You know, you now know an official Google employee to tweet these whinges at. (cc @the_snook)


    RT @BarackObama: RT if you agree: Romney should come clean and release his tax returns so voters know whether he paid his fair share.


    Have received spam from @Betezycomau four weeks running, despite “unsubscribing” and lodging official ACMA spam complaint. STOP EMAILING ME!


    Finally got someone at @betezycomau to reply and unsub me from their mailing lists. They deleted my FB post though. *sigh*
