Sally is doing a FANTASTIC job organising this year’s WWKIP Day in Sydney. I’ll be doing an order for T-shirts and swag from the Cafepress store in a month or so, so let me know if you want to combine shipping.

Obama to Speak at ND
Holy crap! How did I miss that President Obama will be delivering the commencement address this year at Notre Dame? That’s fantastic! Of course, some of the more strict Catholics are predictably outraged. I find that… somewhat hypocritical. Why aren’t they launching petitions over ROTC’s large presence on campus? Why don’t they protest the number of non-Catholics (myself included) who attend and earn degrees? We should be HONORED that the President has chosen to come and speak. I can’t even imagine how the (very few) African-American students on campus are feeling.

just saw at Broadway that they’re doubling size of Harris Farm. I may never have to go in Coles again!
just watched Irish guy on Spicks and Specks perform “Jump Around” IN GAELIC. Best. Rap. Ever.
just got a notification that my MOM is following me on Twitter. Hi, Mom!
is back at work and feeling approximately 90% healthy, yet still sick enough to justify a bacon & egg roll for breakfast.
@crumpet The button on the headphones rocks my world. The first time I got a call on it I nearly fell over.

Diagnosis.
I saw Dr. Chin this morning, who confirmed that I’ve got a virus of some sort. I’m still feverish and my lymph nodes are swollen. He said to stay home and rest today, possibly even tomorrow. I’ve heard from a few Sydneysiders that a cold/flu/plague is going around, but so far I don’t have any symptoms below the neck. I’m hoping this means I’m fighting it off…

has slept pretty much ALL DAY. Still groggy. Didn’t go for a run. Ate ice cream at lunch because I was miserable. May do the same tomorrow.
@kellymcmahon Yeah, saw that. He wrote a big essay too. More about the philosophical angle though. His cancer changed his reviews a LOT.
@AusVintageGrrl Awww, write it up on Rav! I want to hear about it. I’m sorry I missed it. 🙁
referred to an old lady in an email today as the “Dwight Shrute of the Knitters Guild.” I myself, of course, am the Jim.
@mrs_sockvictim Especially when you dump Milo on top straight from the can. 🙂
has an official diagnosis of “a viral illness” and a doctor’s order to go back to bed. At least I’m catching up on some sleep.
