    Bus strike tomorrow? Looks like I’ll be walkin’ to work!

    @tinkabel Quite possibly! I think perhaps the 461, 480, and 483 drivers missed the memo and started striking today.

    @Warlach Ugh. Or we could all, like, donate $5 or something. How does a flash mob help poverty other than by getting hipsters on the news?

    RT @DDsD: Why the language of #nocleanfeed dooms the movement to failure. **Updated** http://bit.ly/4W29ZL <- Updated with new conten …

    @carbolicious Are those the shoes with wheels on the bottom? Because I really do.

    @carbolicious Well, a car would be expensive & useless. Would take longer than walking, and the nearest parking is probably my houes anyway.

    I like my co-workers a lot, but man, it’s been impossible to focus on any task for more than 10 minutes this week without being interrupted.

    @Opheli8 Oh sure. You’ll hang tinsel but you won’t eat a peanut butter and bacon cookie???

    Crap. Forgot Open Air cinema tix went on sale today. (http://bit.ly/8JYlN3) Nearly everything sold out already. 🙁

    @VenessaHunt Woo! Deceptively demure. 🙂

    Looks like the strike is ON! http://bit.ly/7Hlgmw

    @VenessaHunt I’ve seen your high heels! Girls in pageboy bobs don’t wear stilettos.

    First night alone in ages. Petey Cat missed the Snook, as evidenced by YOWLING ALL NIGHT.

    RT @redambition: #busstrike and rain? Not a good day for public transport people!

    #busstrike + no taxis + gridlock = a 25min walk to work in steady rain. I knew blow-drying my hair this morning was absurdly optimistic.

    Hm. All the other girls in the office are dressed up for the Christmas party. I’m wearing jeans and sneakers.

    @carbolicious You could bathe a baby in that!

    They’re making me wear a funny hat. http://twitpic.com/txre5

    @witty_knitter Awww, congratulate her from me and Snook!

    9 Fattiest Christmas Creations. I take offense to the inclusion of the sausage tree. They’re classy.

  • Coles Broadway Frustrations

    This is pretty much the exact debate the Snook and I have every time we’re in Coles. I REFUSE to use the self-serve checkouts. As a former checkout chick, I know that trained checker is always going to be faster than a bunch of slack-jawed shoppers tentatively poking at a touch-screen. I’m also extremely dubious that Coles is passing on the savings they make from cutting those checker jobs. (Why should they? They have a duopoly.) I am also still unhappy with the store redesign, which makes no logical sense whatsoever. No one can find anything. (Example: Cat food and cat litter are in two separate aisles, and while you might assume that the store would want to make it convenient for shoppers, they’d obviously rather get us to spend thirty seconds longer in their hamster maze.) They’ve also put an aisle across the middle of the store (breaking every aisle in half), so there’s no clear traffic flow and the whole thing is a nightmare. I also refuse to use their butcher while there is a perfectly good independent butcher fifty feet outside the entrance (who they’re obviously trying to drive out of business). So why am I still shopping there? It’s the only place around to get the stupid cat supplies.

  • Momofuku Crack Pie

    Mmmmmm. I found a recipe for Momufuku Bakery‘s famous crack pie. Apparently Anderson Cooper is a big fan. Maybe a project for Christmas if it’s not too hot to turn the oven on?

    Zyrtec managed to stop my running nose, but man, I’m so drowsy I think I’m going to pass out at my desk.

    Just completed a 1.03 km walk with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/5oc4LZ #RunKeeper

    Apparently this 470 is designated for the carrying of oversized parcels. I missed that somehow. The dude with the surfboard is a nice touch.

    Snook left home 15 min after me, yet still caught me at Broadway waiting for my bus. And then his came, and I’m still waiting. THIS SUCKS.

    @damana I’m a geek girl BA. (I was a former dev though if that matters.)

    @damana Weirdness. For some reason I wasn’t following you even though I had you on a list. Anyhoo, following and emailing.

    @shanea Yikes! Did Quackies scare them away?

    The valiant Kris strode into battle this morning with the Dreaded and Fearsome Scope Creep Monster… and was quickly roasted alive.

    I got a BIG Christmas present delivered at work! It’s from my Dad and step-Mom. Now I just have to NOT OPEN IT. (Easier said than done.)

    Check out the 6.85 km run I did with @runkeeper http://bit.ly/6UIGiK #RunKeeper

    Tim Tams straight from the fridge! Life is good.

    @kdelarue How much are they asking?I haven’t kept up with current worth. My own copy is pretty beat up.

    Week 3 of Operation Increased Mileage has begun. I should hit 28km/17mi this week if my legs hold up.

    Silver lurex socks have arrived. This year’s Oscar Sock Monkeys are going to be THE BEST, JERRY. THE BEST!

    Just completed a 6.68 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/7HaNcd #RunKeeper

    Judging by today’s 461 driver, I bet they have to replace the brake pads on these things every week. I’m gonna get whiplash.

  • Elvis Cupcakes

    Elvis Cupcakes. Those are brilliant. Definitely one to remember for next Halloween.

    St. Brigid (in progress)

    I’m up to row 117. The back is meant to be 178 rows long, but algebra tells me that at my present row tension, it’s going to be about 10cm too short. So I’ll probably be doing an extra repeat to bring me up to 200 rows. I’m getting 35 rows to the ball of Silkroad Aran Tweed, so it looks like the front and back will take about 12 balls in total.
