    Wow! Indiana Republicans get their own sex scandal: http://bit.ly/c2E8LU. Smell ya later, Souder. Good riddance.


    USA here we come! Folks in LA, Chicago and Indiana – we are headin’ your way in July/August…


    Crap! Just realized our visit to USA in July/August means I’ll miss both Bay Run AND City2Surf! Bugger.


  • A new Strayan!

    Congrats to Mary-Helen on getting her citizenship. Yay! Voting is fun! 🙂

  • Warabi Mochi

    I like mochi. I wonder if I’d like warabi mochi. Sydney foodies: anybody know where I can find warabimochiko and kinako?

  • Congrats Joey!

    My little brother Joey ended up being the 2nd highest fundraiser in his school for the American Heart Association’s “Jump Rope for Heart” event. Way to go, Joey!

    Sitting in a Twitter training session at work. Hi everybody!


    OH YOU GUYS. I was helping show newbies how to use Twitter, not being trained MYSELF. Because obviously, I am the Queen of Twitter. 😛


    The only thing making this weather bearable is the thought of my split pea & ham soup bubbling away in the slow cooker at home…


    @Opheli8 you’re not supposed to smoke. Sucking on things causes dry socket. *shudder*


    ARGH. Locked out of the house in a torrential downpour. This pea soup better be FANtastic or I quit the world.


    I might be hallucinating, but I think I can smell my soup through the locked front door. Hurry up, Snookums!


    He made it! In. Warm. Dry. And now for soup and #masterchef…


    Only thing worse than the leak in the bus roof above me is the girl 3ft away hacking up a lung. *sigh* Wednesday.


    @misswired Somehow forgot my keys. (I transfer my stuff from backpack to purse sometimes.) Luckily Snook was nearby.


    RT @DDsD: Telstra iPad plans to allow unused data to roll over: http://bit.ly/dcmCZE // Ah, that’s better. Considering.


    @squozen Ah. I missed that somehow.


    @squozen We’re booking a trip to the US to visit the fam in the winter. Wonder if it would be worth getting there…

    It’s up! My Sydney Half-Marathon Non-Race Non-Report: https://web-goddess.org/archive/9095.


    Well if you’re gonna ask the whole office for a list of popular books, don’t get mad when my list is too high-brow for the masses!


    Guild members: The last Exec minutes and Conveners letter are now up in the forums: http://bit.ly/bZeqiK


    @sharre I am, and I even got thanked by the Honorable Secretary for it! Right, @Kat13v? 😛


    Went to Spudds as punishment for the DNF. Quads were already sore; now they’re jelly.


    @bhmulder More like a ritual, penitent flogging. My conscience feels lighter now though.


    My journey into the dark corners of my wardrobe continues. Today’s experiment: a teal turtleneck sweater from Esprit 2007.


    @redambition I would say no. And I’d also dispute the premise of your question. 😛

    Just got a virus spam in my Facebook Inbox. If you get a message from someone you know that seems weird and contains a shortened URL (so you can’t see where it points), DON’T CLICK IT!

    Hey look, it’s me and Venkatesh Kanchan at the Half Marathon! I’m smiling. This was obviously before I fell apart.


    For those who missed it, the official non-race non-report from yesterday’s Half-Marathon. There are photos from me on the course here: https://web-goddess.org/archive/9098


  • Pics from the Half-Marathon

    Race Photos
    The official photos from the Sydney Half-Marathon are up! If you search for my number (#3516) you’ll see thirteen pics from my first lap of the course. So even though I didn’t finish the race, I’ve got photographic evidence that I did start it! (You’ll also notice that Venks is visible in a lot of these, trailing me by a bit. He was supposed to be my pacer. I told you I went out like a maniac. *sigh*)
