Mary-Helen has posted the pictures from SSK last weekend, including a blurry one of me with my sock (I actually rather like it though) and another one with me and Miss Fee where I have ginormous boobs. (For those who thought I was exaggerating the weight I gained in the US, the boobs don’t lie.)

Stupid Customer
Sometimes it’s very difficult to keep a note of frustration out of your voice when dealing with an exceptionally stupid customer. Say, for instance, a woman who demands a child’s dress pattern she saw in a book “last week,” yet can’t remember which book it was (or even what colour the cover was). People, if you see something in a shop that you want to buy later, especially in a shop with lots and lots of products, WRITE IT DOWN. Because sometimes things sell out, or get moved around, or even get shoplifted, and god knows I’M NOT A MINDREADER. Expecting me to be one only marks you out as a big idiot. (And lastly, no, your status as a prominent Sydney radio personality doesn’t mean I remember your every move.)

Remember my customer that used the adjective “nigger” to describe very dark brown? It appears this is not uncommon.

Heeheehee. Toxic Socks Clothes Bin. That’s pretty funny!

Ever since we attended the Bugs Bunny on Broadway event a few years back, the Sydney Opera House still sends me notices of upcoming events we might like to attend. Most of them look like snoozers, but the latest one couldn’t have been more tailored to me and the Snook: PLAY! A Video Game Symphony. The Sydney Symphony is going to play the themes to videogames while big screens show the games themselves. HOW COOL IS THAT? We’re so going.

EIGHTY-FOUR CENTS ON THE DOLLAR. Man, that makes me fume.

Ooh, Felix Felicis! Those are really cute. Apparently the artist has also done a custom HP necklace. Personally, I kinda prefer the broccoli! (Link courtesy of fellow Hoosier Jamieanne.)

RIP Veronica Mars. *sniff*

If anybody is looking for a nice gift, my Mom is selling another Amish quilt. (She didn’t make this one; she bought it at an auction.)

What. The. Hell? Train stations closed and mobile phones jammed? That’s gonna suck.
