Women Who Rock – #49 The Breeders
Women Who Rock – #49 The Breeders
The Breeders’ Last Splash is #49 on RS’s list of Greatest Albums from “Women Who Rock.” I discovered the Breeders when I happened to catch the video for “Cannonball” late one night on MTV (maybe “120 Minutes”?) in high school, and I was hooked. I bought the tape and I still know all the words 19 years later. I remember being amused at “Drivin’ On 9”, because I actually had to drive to high school along State Road 9. I also bought a Breeders T-shirt that I have carried with me across several continents, and that I only just reluctantly stopped wearing (because it’s full of holes – don’t worry; I’m making it into a quilt). The Breeders are also the only artists on the list who I’ve actually MET. The day Kim and Kelley Deal wandered into my knitting shop in Sydney was seriously one of the coolest days in my whole time there. Rock on, Deal sisters. -

@merrinmez Those. Are. FANTASTIC!
I always think I’m going to be conservative at the stylist. And then I change my mind as soon as I’m in the chair. Purple streaks? WHY NOT.
The purple streaks didn’t actually take. I suspect my Mom telepathically sabotaged the enterprise. #stillblonde http://t.co/bEZEdv44
RT @elizabethdanger: Please RT this if you are or know a female programmer in the US. Proving a point here. // My Mom is one!
@stufromoz I know. My normal stylist has done it before. But she’s on vacation, and the stand-in wasn’t very good. 🙁

Discussed with osteo the possibility of having a PRP injection for my tendonitis. Anybody had one in Australia? Get good results?
@drkknits It’s interesting, huh? I invited you to be an “ally”.
@shanea Once I can run again, I’ll have to go the other direction and we can high-five as we pass each other! 🙂
@VenessaHunt We have one and we use it all the time! They’re awesome. 🙂
Well surprise, surprise. Helicopter parent is overly defensive and hostile when confronted. I should’ve nuked the post on Day 1.
@drkknits ??
@drkknits Ah. I thought it might be that. Hopefully soon you will be able to focus on the loveliness of what you had, rather than be sad. 🙁
@SydneyOsteo Thanks. Been dealing with this for 5 months now. Recommendation for PRP was from my osteo at City Clinic in CBD.
@SydneyOsteo My GP and osteo both reluctant to give cortisone, which my research backs up. PRP sounds great, but still pretty new?
@redambition Aus Knitters board on Rav. Entitled parent asking for help with topics for a 20yo’s essay. Most people were nice & helped.
@kat13v Sent you a FB message. I got a sick Snook on my hands! 🙁
I feel like Sick Snook is going to be very shortly joined by Sick Kris.
@RoseRed_Shoes Ooh, neat! I did wonder! Did you do the scarf too?
@RoseRed_Shoes Ha! Just checked your Rav. Nice one. 🙂
@RoseRed_Shoes I actually “liked” it when they posted a pic on FB yesterday!
@RoseRed_Shoes It’s got 41 likes on FB! They posted a special message about it because of all the interest. 🙂
The thread is now dead. It is a Dead Thread.
Missed the Wagner concert last night in favour of sleeping for 11 hours.
@blakkat Ear plugs are your friend. I also roll Rodd onto his side like 4 times a night.
@twelveeyes I know. Snook and I are both fighting off a cold though. We were just too wiped out. 🙁
Attention @RoseRed_Shoes: Either you or I need to make these for next weekend. http://t.co/GoU19FDR

I’ve decided to work my way through Rolling Stone’s list of top 50 albums from “Women Who Rock”. This was #50. I don’t think I’ve actually listened to this since college, when (confession) I pretty much had it memorised. In fact, freshman year I went on a road trip to Michigan to see Alanis in concert. Listening to these songs reminds me of who I was back then. They’re very much of that time period, aren’t they? I feel the need to put on some flannel…

Women Who Rock – #50 Alanis Morissette
Women Who Rock – #50 Alanis Morissette
The other day I stumbled across Rolling Stone’s list “Women Who Rock: The 50 Greatest Albums of All Time“. On a whim, I decided that I’m going to listen though the whole list. (Well, as much of it as I can access on Spotify, anyway.) I kicked off today with #50: Alanis Morissette’s Jagged Little Pill. I don’t think I’ve actually listened to this since college, when (confession) I pretty much had it memorised. In fact, freshman year I went on a road trip to Michigan to see Alanis in concert.

“Obamacare”
“Obamacare”
Somebody Reddit says, “Please explain Obamacare to me like I’m a 5-year-old.” And somebody did. I definitely remember reading through it (especially if you think you’re against it). Also, I was really, really happy and proud to wake up and see the Supreme Court decision. I highly recommend that all the conservatives who are frothing at the mouth over this move to another Western democracy without universal health care. OH WAIT, THERE ISN’T ONE. -

We used to try to keep our web pages under 40KB. Now these stupid “parallax scrolling” sites make you download 5MB for a home page!
@chewxy Toyota has one that’s 23+ MB. Takes ages on a desktop; won’t load on mobile at all. It’s just ridiculous.

@imdominating According to FB my Mom made 12(!) loaves yesterday, so I got inspired. 🙂
