Images and videos that I’ve taken on-the-go
Every time I see this ad I grit my teeth. MOBISODES. Cursed be the “hip” advertising exec who came up with that one.
Later: And yeah, I realize that “moblog” is just as silly, but really, we needed a new word for that one. Like “podcasting.” There was no need to coin a new word here when good old “episode” still works. Stupid marketing asshats…
Remember the wool I won in the Give a Little Raffle? Here it is! These are the Straight-Laced Socks from Knitty. As usual, I had to adjust the heck out of the pattern to make it work. I increased the number of stitches to 76 (38 on each needle) and thus had to change the maths of turning the heel. I think I’ve finally got my head around it, but I made this heel a little narrow. (Technically it’s perfect though, so I couldn’t bear to frog it back.) The toe was also turning out a little long so I started doing the decreases every row instead of every other. Still, they’re really pretty, aren’t they?
She’s Lump, she might be dead! At the PUSA show with Amy. Rockin’ like it’s 1996! Peaches for me…
Later: Wow, fantastic show. That’s the first time I’ve ever heard Australians chanting “USA! USA!” (and most likely the last). The Presidents evidently have a new album out but they deferred to the crowd and mixed in all of their old hits. (I have never seen a crowd pogo like they did during “Kitty.”) People were actually crowd-surfing! It was like we fell through a hole into the mid-90’s. Tripod nearly stole the show for me though. They were hilarious. I had to cover my face during the “You may be a little autistic” song because I was laughing so hard…
Check it out! It’s Toast and Sakai! I know somebody who’s met an Iron Chef! (And if you came to our first Halloween party, you know him too! He was the proctologist.)
It’s that time again…
E-mail invites have just gone out. If you’re a w-g regular and you’re in Sydney, you’re probably invited so check your Inbox and Spam filters. Thanks to my sister for her e-mail earlier this week which provided the inspiration. I spent a ridiculous amount of time tonight lining up these ridiculous pets. (No, Dr. Amy Jones is not one of them. Although the Snook is trying to acclimatize her to wearing things on her head.) See you at the shindig!
Hey, “Other Andrew,” you feel like dropping by? I don’t have an e-mail address for you. Nor you, Tia, if you’re reading…)
It’s beer o’ clock and we’re down at the Australian Beer Festival! Very warm and crowded, but the beer is good…
In over five years, this is the first time I’ve ever been in a car the Snook was driving. Love means trust, folks!
Driving on the M4 towards Katoomba. No accidents yet!
We’re so STUFFED. That was surreal. Chili’s Oz is exactly the same as the US (but with slightly less crap on the walls). And YAY, we got chips with ranch!
Just waiting for our FREE SUBS! Austin Powers just walked by hissing at some Subway customers. No, really.
