    RT @Sitback: Sitback sets its sites http://t.co/OWJ2tGAD // I was a member of that Subaru BRZ team, and I’m really proud of it!


    Wait, WTF? Some person wants to start a Guild group in the Inner West? Uh, we already have the Inner City group meeting in Surry Hills!


    @willemrt Sorry, I forget that not all my followers are knitters. πŸ™‚ Knitters Guild of NSW.


    @willemrt We give free lessons. Surry Hills Library, 2nd Sat each month at 2pm. Email learntoknit@knittersguildnsw.org.au to book in. πŸ™‚


    @witty_knitter Fair enough, I guess. I just like having us all in one ginormous group/army.


    @voicework I could see that working at some hipster barbers in Sydney. There’s one in the Rocks where it would fit right in.


    @witty_knitter Weird. I’d feel much more comfortable hiding in a big group than going to one with only a few! Harden up, introverts. πŸ™‚


    @witty_knitter Ooh, that sucks. Need to get @drkknits and @knitdra involved. Maybe revive the welcoming committee?


    @witty_knitter I try to be very welcoming to new folks and sit with them. However, some of them are BORING so it’s a sacrifice. πŸ˜›


    @drkknits @witty_knitter @knitdra I can see some validity, given that many of us have experienced being ostracised at other groups.


    @drkknits @witty_knitter @knitdra But I also think some people are big, weird, introverted babies. πŸ˜›


    @blakepup That is a tragedy. Take some pepto and go! Porteno is worth it!


    @drkknits @witty_knitter @knitdra This is what happens when you work in an ivory tower all day long, Rapunzel. MIX WITH US COMMONERS.


    @drkknits @witty_knitter @knitdra I would quote some P&P at you about being ill-suited to recommend oneself, but that shit is annoying.


    @witty_knitter @drkknits @knitdra I just dislike needless complexity. One group has advantages of size and resources.


    Can’t decide if my need to see myself as the Veronica in a world of Heathers is a healthy attitude or a lame self-delusion.


    On the plus side, that means @the_snook is Christian Slater.


    @AusVintageGrrl Fair enough. Just think it’s a bit silly to think we need a separate group for each individual snowflake’s circumstances.


    @AusVintageGrrl Meh. I always think there’s a point at which too much choice becomes a detriment. *shrug*


    I know some people who may be interviewing at Yahoo. I have told them to follow @blakkat. Any other Y!7ers I know on Twitter?


    @The_Ausmerican Only if it’s okay that I considered unfriending the folks who keep liking Harvey Norman just to try to win free Android crap


    RT @oliyoung: Only hours until we see the Samsung Galaxy 4 design


    Wow. Getting from Chippo to Randwick is a major pain. Taxi will cost more than the movie!


    Raiders of the Lost Ark! #geekfest (@ Ritz Cinema w/ 4 others) http://t.co/Rsqd5Rfc


    I just reached Level 2 of the “Zoetrope” badge on @foursquare. I’ve checked in at 5 different movie theaters! http://t.co/Yd5ld5AA


    John Rhys-Davies is a nutter. Fascinating, erudite, but a complete nutter. He’s been talking for 90 minutes non-stop!


    Jonathan Rhys-Davies going on and on (and on and on) at tonight’s Raiders screening. Very cool. http://t.co/FkLDDJFi


    RT @hexsteph: Now he’s providing women with tips on how to avoid varicose veins. Not even joking. It’s gotten very weird. #andmyaxe


    @chewxy Damn. Sign up to Popcorn Taxi’s mailing list! Well worth it. They do great events.


    @mikeefreedom Yeah, Popcorn Taxi. They had Sallah there afterwards to talk. Fun night, but late for me. *yawn*

  • The Mindy Project

    The New New Girl: Mindy Kaling Promotes Herself Out of The Office and Into The Mindy Project – I really hope The Mindy Project airs here. LOVE HER. Also, the bit about her Mom passing away made me tear up…

  • I throw like a girl.

    “Throw Like a Girl? You Can Do Better.” – That’s fascinating. I expected the research involving Australian Aboriginal children to show that it’s completely an issue of practice and strength, but it seems there’s more to it than that. I totally throw like a girl, and it’s something I’ve always wished I could do better. I wonder if somebody could teach me properly?

    Interrupting a work meeting to listen to the #usopen… This is the benefit of having a Scotting project manager. πŸ™‚


    @drkknits It was a WOMAN project manager… o_O


    @snappyshoes Nope. He died. Very sad. πŸ™


    Just turned down an offer for a Saturday night reservation at Quay. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME.


    @drkknits @BendalongMorgan Eh, it’s a lot of money to spend on a whim. We’ve got travel coming up. (I’m still torn, TBH.)


    @snappyshoes Have since spoken to greenthumbs who tell me they are notoriously difficult plants. Cultivated in very strict conditions. πŸ™

    @steven_noble Don’t think so. Look for a really talkative ginger Pom and a musician type with Ray Ban glasses. πŸ™‚


    The new album “Theatre is Evil” from @amandapalmer is up on Spotify! I already bought it, but this is convenient for work listening…


    @lemon_lime @imdominating I’ll admit it – when I got to the Kellan Lutz snark, I laughed out loud. http://t.co/1uGZAuCq


    @AusVintageGrrl @zephyrama Can you order online from MSY? I’ve only bought from them in person. They’re the Soup Nazi of computers, TBH.


    @the_snook Oh. Dear. God.

    @drkknits Do we have a booking today? Or are we just turning up?


    Stuffed from yum cha. Now for some pub knitting… (@ Bowlers Club) http://t.co/tcPFWE8L


    @drkknits It doesn’t look like it. And he’s too handsome!


    @steven_noble Some representatives from my company @Sitback there at #SydStart today. Say hello if you meet! I’ll vouch for all of you. πŸ™‚
