Great urge to take a texta and write on my umbrella: “YOUR GOLF UMBRELLA IS TOO DAMN BIG. WE’RE TRYING TO HAVE A SOCIETY HERE.”
@knitabulous When iOS5 comes out soon, you’ll be able to use the volume button to take pictures. 🙂
@thisismywww As you are a giant, you are one of the few people qualified to carry a big umbrella. So I give you a Free Pass. 🙂
It’s not that people hit me with their umbrellas. I just object to “me first” attitude embodied in giant brolly taking up 3/4 of footpath.
I used to roll my eyes at people with overly large umbrellas. Had to give up this winter because I was doing it every 5 seconds.
@Opheli8 Yes! When did that happen? It’s ridiculousl.
@redambition Would it fit two people comfortably? If not, you will not receive a Kris Death Stare.
@Cecilias880 Piss off spammer.
AWESOME. I am not the only person enjoying the current “80’s sax solo” resurgence in pop music, it seems. http://bit.ly/qv2bCa
HARDCORE. Going for a run in the rain with @rajsingh2505!
Who’s a badass running in the rain? Me and @rajsingh2505 are badasses running in the rain. http://twitpic.com/5tt2sz
@grannyg_in_nz More like drowned rats. 🙂
@drkknits “Their embarrassing failure when attempting simple tasks is a microcosm of our entire lives.” HA! Totally agree.
The best part of the R18+ video game news is my nerd glee at seeing the proper pluralisation of “attorneys-general.” http://bit.ly/raByPs
@sixandahalfst @witty_knitter @grannyg_in_nz I felt pretty feral walking back into the office dripping wet, I tell you!
WAIT, WHAT? NEVILLE WAS HERE, IN SYDNEY, TWO DAYS AGO? ARRRGHGHGHGHGH. http://bit.ly/qzg0M4 (@imdominating @carbolicious)
@redambition Dammit, no! I would’ve chucked a sickie and gone to meet him! Totes dreamy… 🙂
@witty_knitter Heh. I’m sure he’s used to middle-aged women fans/stalkers coming up to him all the time! 🙂
Last call! Knitters: looking for Shadow Tweed so my Purple Afghan can get bigger. Got at Camp last year. Anyone? http://twitpic.com/5rim9l
@GeorgieKnits Thank you for checking anyway!
Fancy international conference call finally finished! Being a grown-up does seem to eat into beer-drinking time. #latefordinner
@bellsknits @that_alison There are many int’l foodies that actually prefer American cheese for burgers. It melts beautifully.
While yes, there’s lots of gross American food, I would just like to say two words to the Aussies: MUSK STICKS. I rest my case.
@drkknits @gilmae Peeps are just sugar. Musk Sticks, as far as I can tell, are meant to mimick the taste of SECRETIONS FROM ANIMALS.
@that_alison @bellsknits I heard similar about chocolate in Aus. That a lot of it is sold as “choc” because it’s not legally chocolate.
I had no idea so many of you like musk sticks. This is disturbing.
Musk Sticks are the Australian equivalent of Circus Peanuts, in that I associate them with old people, styrofoam, and disgusting tastes.
And by Circus Peanuts, I mean these: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circus_Peanuts
@brodrigu Just somebody acting all horrified by American cheese. As if Australian cuisine didn’t have equivalent grossnesses.
@drkknits @gilmae Wait, what? Teeth? YOU ATE TEETH?
@drkknits Oh, THOSE. I’ve seen those before. Again, I think of that type of thing as “old people candy.”
What’s worse? Being a sociopath, or tolerating that behaviour OVER and OVER and OVER? #soverytired
Discovery: Paul Kelly’s “Before the Old Man Died” has a wicked saxophone solo. I’m, like, collecting 80’s sax solos now. In my head.
@knitdra Ooh, no. Must investigate!
RT @imdominating: OH in line at #SDCC: I wish a safety pin worked on leather

@imdominating For 2 sec, Rodd and I considered going as Khal Drogo and Danaerys for Halloween. But neither really wanted to be topless! 🙂
RT @imdominating: OTP MTB GoT http://bit.ly/phnSzc // Whoa. Khal Drogo and Danaerys look WEIRD in real life! (cc @drkknits @kunaal84)
RT @steph_gardiner: NSW Police have charged a man for pooping in train ticket machines. He is 27. From the Central Coast. http://t.co/dO …
Feeling decidedly weird, clammy, and pukey. Really hope I’m not getting what @lemon_lime has had!
“There’s no future in hard-coding business rules in procedural code.” Amen. #iiba
@bellsknits I can’t see the point of locking, unless the person needs total anonymity (like Witness Protection, but they shouldn’t tweet!)
@toastman Heh. Not going to ask that. Presenter is a Texan, and I think he’d glare at me.
This seminar has quite a few Hermiones. I am trying not to yell out “10 points from Gryffindor for being a favour-currying swot!”
@kunaal84 THIS Hermione would never interrupt a speaker who had 35+ slides to get through in 60min, just to show off with a lame anecdote!
@steven_noble Or did you inadvertently lock it in portrait?
Bookmarking the Ars Technical review of OS X Lion for later… http://arstechnica.com/apple/reviews/2011/07/mac-os-x-10-7.ars
@steven_noble Double-click home, then swipe left in the tray. There’s an “orientation lock.”
@steven_noble If it’s on, you should see a little arrow-circle thing in the upper right corner of your screen, btw.
@steven_noble Damn. That was my best guess! Now you’ve made me wary of updating mine…
@carbolicious @imdominating NOW WHO’S READY TO BE DISTURBED? http://on.io9.com/otDE83
In every way that yesterday sucked, today has rocked. Finally got my bearings, and I am kicking some serious ass. #patsselfonback

Sitting in front of heater, feet propped up, crocheting away on afghan on my lap. When did I become my mother, and why do I LIKE it so much?
RT @andrewsayer: Google Plus iPhone app is now available in the iTunes Store. // http://bit.ly/ouqXV9 Just got it myself!
Rain. Buses all full. Took 10+ minutes to finally get one! Going to be late…
@lemon_lime Seems good for 1st release. My stream has lots of folks trying it out. Photos and Huddle are great.
@carbolicious @imdominating “Hot Neville” is now officially A Thing. http://gofugyourself.com/potterfugia-hot-neville-07-2011
Just trying to keep my head above water, and feeling like I’m failing…
I wouldn’t have thought that a pot roast could cure a bad day, but this one sure did: http://bit.ly/pActCY Best sauce EVER.
@drkknits You are inadvertently spoiling me! Because now I learn the fucker stays alive a lot longer. 🙁
Jamie’s 30Min Meals #23: Smoked Salmon, Potato Salad, Beets & Cottage Cheese, Rye Bread & Homemade Butter. http://bit.ly/pXc0j5 Rated 9/10!

New Docs! They are gloriously ugly and comfortable. Exactly what I wanted. http://instagr.am/p/H2ttJ/
@fictillius Huh. I also feel like I say that a LOT.
@witty_knitter My taste in shoes indicates that I was a Scandinavian lesbian in a former life, I think. 🙂

Blood donation FAIL! Was going to give plasma for 1st time, but couldn’t get decent vein in either arm. Will try again in a couple weeks. 🙁
Karen the Garden Consultant is here, and she is KICKING ASS. Plan is forming! We are going to have a lovely garden! Thanks @sixandahalfst!!
@mrs_sockvictim @witty_knitter @knitterjp It’s not on! Only last Saturday now, remember?
Jamie’s Smoked Salmon w/ Beets, Potato Salad, & Homemade Butter in 20:05!! GO ME! http://twitpic.com/5r0amn
Durrr. That Jamie meal was in 26:05. Still fast, but not THAT fast. 🙂
@drkknits What are you on about? The Android app is just as proprietary. iOS users are just annoyed we have to wait for our app!
@drkknits But the complainers are stupid, because the mobile web version works fine. Just doesn’t do photos. 🙂
@drkknits Well, that’s just a stupid person. They are not endemic to a particular type of hardware.
@drkknits @gilmae Are you suggesting that Google is paying Apple back for… integrating Maps and Email and everything so nicely in iOS?
@gilmae @drkknits We should stop ganging up on the Android user. She’s just cranky at not having a magical, tomorrow iDevice of her own. 🙂
@drkknits @gilmae @arwenamin It’s okay. The world needs utilitarian, unstylish, un-hip worker bees too. #pokingwithstick 😛
Double Rainbow all the way!
Didn’t get to run today. Work. Rain. Cold. Grumble…
@KaisaKaisaKaisa Only if they have a tendency to get underfoot and stepped on! Our don’t wear them & they’re ok.
Just watched Crownies, and REALLY liked it! The Warcraft murder was esp. amusing. We cheered when we saw @mrs_sockvictim’s name in credits.
@Amabelyc73 Quit spamming.
Note to self: never tweet the name of that online game again. Already 3 spam tweets in less than 10 minutes.
@carbolicious @imdominating More from our collective new boyfriend: http://on.io9.com/oAxntC
@carbolicious @imdominating Also, I might need to knit Rodd this cardigan. http://bit.ly/qfOq8X
@imdominating @carbolicious Holy. CRAP.
Running has made me too healthy. Just realised I have 10+ unused personal days. Curse my functioning immune system and mental health!
@witty_knitter BRING IT ON! I could use a vacation. 🙂
@lasoedcmx6 Piss off, spammer.
@drkknits And doesn’t the art direction look nice? 🙂
Feeling really overwhelmed. I wish it wasn’t too late and too cold for a run right now.
@knitabulous Aw, thanks. Just stress from new work responsibilities.
It turns out that having @kunaal84 laugh hysterically at your “overwhelming issues” is a good way to de-stress. Thanks, mate!
Sun was so socially awkward I could barely look at her. #masterchef
