Government Free VJJ | Dear Men in Congress: If we knit you a uterus, will you stay out of ours?
Government Free VJJ | Dear Men in Congress: If we knit you a uterus, will you stay out of ours? – Hahahaha! Hear, hear! (Link courtesy of @stufromoz.)
I’d be lying if I said a small part of my brain wasn’t considering knitting a VAGINA for the EASTER SHOW NEXT YEAR…

Gary Taubes on bad science and that article about red meat: http://t.co/5ESrqSFp (cc @drkknits )
@drkknits No way! Must have been a glitch in the game. It was definitely bandaid. (Unless I only THOUGH I picked bandaid???)
@drkknits According to the game, I was drawing “werewolf.” So. I’m an idiot.

I’m not sure Norman Lindsay had ever *seen* a real penguin. #eastershow #knitting

Dear @drkknits: I’m pretty sure writing the word you want me to guess on your picture is outside the spirit of Draw Something. 😛
@stufromoz But for some reason, Sam Sawnoff wears really high-waisted trousers. And I am nothing if not faithful to the original…
@stufromoz Not a Magic Pudding fan? You’re missing out. You should get your Mister to read it to you at bedtime. It’s hilarious.
@drkknits What, like a robot? Did you get overloaded or something?
@drkknits Heh. I just draw a stickman in front of a computer with RODD and 24-7 written on it. The answer is WARCRAFT. I amuse myself.
@drkknits Should be Bandaid, I think!!?
Draw Something is now, like, this challenge where I see how badly I can draw and still get @kunaal84 to guess it.
Also, you will unsurprised to learn that @kunaal84 draws a really good elephant. #notracist #iswear

Boxed Wine: Not Just for Your Alcoholic Aunt Anymore | Mr. Money Mustache
Boxed Wine: Not Just for Your Alcoholic Aunt Anymore | Mr. Money Mustache – Hey, Mr. Money Mustache not only comes out in favor of boxed wine, but he also mentions our preferred brand as well – Banrock Station! (I had no idea it was available in the US.) I had to laugh though at the mention of couples who go through “a bottle of wine a week.” Uh, yeah. We go through a fair bit more than that…

GoT: Dinner
A few weeks ago I spotted an article in the SMH about a special Game of Thrones themed menu that Gastro ParK was doing this month. I’d heard of the restaurant before; Fiona went there last year and enjoyed it. I rang them up to ask about a possible booking and found they were filling up fast! I managed to get a table for four for the 15th… which just so happened to be my birthday! Awesome. I invited the other two biggest GoT fans I know (Kylie and Kunaal) and we prepared ourselves for an evening of GEEKING OUT. I am happy to say the experience did not disappoint. The venison was beautiful; the soup exquisite; the roast pork divine. We dove in like we were Baratheons. And that dessert… A giant silver tray dotted with all manner of sweet things including a passionfruit-filled dragon’s egg that melted when the waiter poured over “liquid gold” (a la Viserys)? DIED AND GONE TO HEAVEN. My favorite part was the ostrich-egg sized cloud of frozen aerated buttermilk panna cotta. (Granted, the crash from the sugar buzz the next day kinda sucked. But still – WORTH IT.)Highly recommended if you can manage to get a table!
