With all these stinkin’ hosting provider issues, it’s probably time to finally set up a proper local test environment, right? But I’m lazy.
Frick. I think I may have caught @mrs_sockvictim and @knitness ‘s cold. Throat is suddenly sore in an all too crappily familiar way. 🙁
Beer is medicinal, right? I’ve got the good stuff, if it matters.
I’ve started noticing some real, objective fitness improvements at the gym. Yesterday during our circuit I managed to skip rope for the entire 90-second rotation without stopping or messing up. My calves were aching afterwards. Then Spudds sent me to the rowing machine and told me I was going to break 100m in 20s from a cold start. I’d only managed 100m once before, and that was with a slow 30s rolling start. He stood beside me and shouted “Go!”, then barked encouragement as I heaved the handle back and forth like a maniac. Final tally? 101m. I got a mighty high-five for that one. 🙂
@imdominating Just replace “Jurassic Park” with “anything with Jeff Goldblum” and I’m right there with you.
@imdominating And he’s all hitting in Laura Dern with his Chaos Theory talk. *swoon*
Trying out Tweetdeck. So far so good. Best intro to features: http://www.richardbarley.com (Aside: Adobe Air is everywhere now, huh?)
People keep bringin’ chocolate eggs to my desk! Which should make me more motivated for boxing but oddly seems to be having opposite effect.
@DDsD The Arts Preview was enough for me. If you get a chance, stop by my jumper & grumble loudly that it should have won.
@imdominating *shudder* I saw online today somebody making Sm’peeps. S’mores with Peeps as the marshmallow. THE HORROR.
Today’s gym firsts: 101m in 20s on the rowing machine (w/ cold start), and 90s continuous jump roping. So glad I went!
Heading to Morris & Sons for the SnB. Even though I have nothing on the needles at the moment.
At Broadway. Lines are pretty long at both Liquorland and Baker’s Delight. Everybody is stocking up on the necessities!
Essentials procured. Now settling in for 4 days of sleeping in. Bliss.
@mrs_sockvictim Yeah. At one point I was pleading with Petey: “PLEASE go back to sleep! Quit trying to knock everything off the dresser!”
@Timmay83 Yikes! That’s what happens when you start drinking at 3:30. Also – post pics.
is starting work on new M&S site redesign. Probably going to take up my whole holiday weekend and then some.

Mary-Helen has posted her Easter Show recap, including loads of photos. Here’s Na Craga again, and here’s my Widdershins-clad leg. And oh look! There’s the Snook. She also got a few of the amazing cake decorating, which my sister will like.
16 Depression Era Money Saving Tips. Growing a garden is on there! The Snook is also interested in getting some power meters so we can see which of our appliances is sucking the most electricity.
Mimi Kirchner’s Hand Sewn Felt Doll. I really want to make one of those for Indie.
Peter Sagal refutes the arguments against same-sex marriage. Go Peter! And Nate Silver crunches data that shows that voter resistance to same-sex marriage is weakening every single year. According to his numbers, even Indiana wouldn’t be able to pass a Constitutional ban on it as early as 2015.
Really, I guess the next best thing to winning is losing in such a way that all your friends keep saying “you were robbed.” That’s nice.
98yo Italian woman rescued from rubble after being trapped for 30 hours. What did she do in there? Crochet. http://bit.ly/27LiPH
@DDsD I never saw one with ‘crumpet’ on it in the US. No one there even knows what a crumpet is.
@kdelarue Hey, there’s a name I recognise! Yep, it’s me! 🙂
@kdelarue I haven’t touched mine in years. Just can’t bear to kill it off though. It still gets loads of traffic, so somebody’s using it.
My replies tab isn’t showing today’s replies. Anybody else seeing that?
Gridlock in Sydney CBD. Police car in middle of Elizabeth St intersection. Related to protest?
Playing Wii with Rodd’s nephew Kurt. Rodd seemingly incapable of letting 9yo win Wii Bowling. Also, we had beer. Bad babysitters!
@glittertrash You’re making me want another beer.
We’ve got the little one playing Guitar Hero. His parents are going to kill us. http://twitpic.com/2zv4d
Nephew deposited safely back into the arms of his parents. Only slightly corrupted. Now I need paracetamol. #fb
@redambition You need a cat! It’d still be nasty, but it’d also be DEAD.
Silly photos with nephew. http://tinyurl.com/c9wa37 Finally time for bed, I think…
Of all the ways to start the day, I would not have predicted this morning would involve ingesting Napi-San.
@venks79 Filling bucket for smelly gym clothes. Air pocket in water line. Explosion. Ergo, covered in Napi-San. Tastes like salt, actually.
