    RT @BPGlobalPR: OMG This isss ridciulsus. playing a drinking gamee where we drink a shot everytme we seeee an oily birdddd!!! LOL! so …

    @redambition RUN AWAY!

    Do any of you have a CHOICE.com.au membership? I want a single report but $22 is the minimum membership cost. Eek.

    @steven_noble Do all of the online reports get published in the magazines? That’s a definite option if they are!

    @sufrost Thank you! It’s okay; I got the information another way. 🙂

    @dancingman Word is YOU’RE A SPARKY, my friend! I need a rec for an electrician to install my new cooktop. Prev one was $$. Any ideas?

    Ooh, possibility of scoring free tix to see Lou Reed on Friday night? Yes, please!

    Hooray! Got the tickets to http://bit.ly/9QqJ72. Thanks to @Kat13v for hooking us up.

    @alyshajane Castlereagh Street seems ok so far.

    @alyshajane Ah, protest at town hall over Israeli attack. Large police presence. George street apparently not moving!

    @thisismywww Castlereagh is moving, albeit slower than normal.

    I totally have a button necklace just like Maggie Beer’s! #masterchef

    Worst ad ever. Aaron SCREWED UP because he couldn’t see whole recipe on Telstra’s stupid tablet. Then they show a Telstra ad! #masterchef

    @ScottRhodie I installed Click to Flash mainly for the SMH site. It’s usable once you turn off all the stupid Flash banners and popups.

    Had to email Octopus Designs, as my new metal water bottle developed a crack after a single drop: http://twitpic.com/1t4lo0. 🙁

    @drkknits Was she flipping off the camera? At least he smiles a lot! 🙂

    Ribot, the Blind Boys of Alabama, and more at the Sydney Opera House on Friday.

  • Denialism

    “Living in denial: Why sensible people reject the truth.” Fascinating article about people who reject vaccines, evolution, global warming, tobacco research, and more. (And yes, Mr. Snook, I count people who think that there is a secret cabal of evil dentists promoting the removal of wisdom teeth as a money-making scheme amongst the conspiracy theorists!)

  • Food Connect Sydney

    Food Connect Sydney
    Last night when I got home I headed over to Michael’s house to pick up our first box from Food Connect Sydney. We had previously gotten veggie boxes from the Chippendale Fresh Food Co-Op, but the Snook hasn’t been thrilled with the quality recently. It’s also more of a hike to pick them up at Central. When Michael blogged about Food Connect recently, we decided to give them a try. It’s a little more expensive, but they’ve got some nice perks (like managing your account online). Just about everything is certified organic too, which is nice. I also like their blog and the notes about where the food comes from. The quality looks good and it’s definitely convenient. So far so good!

  • There’s Nothing Like Australia

    Tourism Australia have premiered their new ad… and not everybody likes it. Count me in with Nick Bryant though: I think it’s pretty brilliant. As he puts it, “the rest of the world loves the very clichés which make many Australians cringe.” Yes, there’s more than a whiff of bogan about it. But there are a lot of tourists in the U.S. who don’t care about our sophisticated coffee culture or wineries or modern architecture. They want the postcard, and that’s what the ad is. When my family came to visit, they wanted to see kangaroos, dammit! There’s nothing wrong with that. I’m not saying we have to perform some Epcot-version of Australianness for the tourists, but we do have to acknowledge that this stuff is a draw for them.

    @getupgo They’re always using them on Iron Chef. Never ate one though!

    Bopping around the house to Glee Vol. 3 and Power of Madonna CD’s. I AM A MUSICAL THEATER NERD. Wooo!

    @VenessaHunt Heh. You should laugh. It’s pretty funny. I can’t do a proper Total Eclipse of the Heart unless I’m pissed.

    @getupgo Nah, nothing that exotic. I’d sure as heck try one though!

    @Alacaeriel Have you knitted Jaywalkers before? I had trouble with sizing on mine. It’s not a very stretchy pattern.

    @chrisgander Heaven! PopCap is my favorite game company by far. 🙂

    @surry_hills Redfern goat man? No way. Maxie is the goat of Chippendale! (He lives in Chippo.) I met him one day: http://bit.ly/98t3Ct

    @surry_hills No wait! I’m wrong. He does live in Redfern. He’s often in Chippo though: http://bit.ly/a96AWT

    My third straight Spudds session with double 100m on the rower. Such a confidence booster! I like feeling strong.

    Keep Calm and Carry On. http://twitpic.com/1se2ta My new red water bottle makes me happy.

    @Lauren_lolly_ I’ve blogged more this weekend than I have in a long time. Even finished an actual knitting project! 🙂

    My Absinthe Socks are finally finished! Five months for socks?! I told you I’ve been busy. *sigh* http://bit.ly/97NJVE

    Is anyone else freezing? I’m freezing. Even in my new woolen socks. Brrrr.

    Front door was open! I am an idiot.

    RT @ebertchicago: Today: Del Toro is off “The Hobbit.” Last week: Del Toro announced he wouldn’t film it in 3D.

    @ebertchicago If it’s in 3D, this LotR fan won’t be going to see it, ever.

    Many happy returns of the day, @randomknits! (You couldn’t wish for this rain to go away, could you?)
