  • Glitter thread purge

    Major Glitter thread purge! The site sure loads faster, but unfortunately all the lovely Halloween discussions are gone. 🙁

  • New poll

    It’s two hours til the big Halloween party and you don’t have a costume. What’s the best last-minute option?

  • iTunes

    The iTunes Music Store has sold 1 million songs in 3.5 days. Alas, not one of them was to me. Anybody in the US mind if I switch my credit card address to your house?

    In other products-I-desperately-want-but-can’t-get-my-mits-on news, the Snook has made great strides with our homegrown “TiFaux” DVR project. We’re using this system and so far he’s got it playing live TV, displaying the program guide, and recording shows. Unfortunately we seem to be getting some antenna interference from the computer itself so the quality leaves much to be desired. Of course, as soon as we spend a ridiculous amount upgrading the machine they’ll probably bring the real thing out here anyway.

  • Ageless Project

    The Ageless Project. Pretty pointless, but once I saw the lack of March 1977 blogs, I just had to add myself.

  • USA vs. Scotland

    Oh yeah, it’s on. Tonight at 7:30 pm – USA vs. Scotland. Go Eagles! Anybody in Sydney want to meet me at the pub for this one?

    Update: Poo. I can’t find anybody to go with and the Snook’s busy with his workmates tonight. This is a sign that I should go back to my original plan of going to the gym instead of drinking beer.

  • Second guessing

    You know how you meet people and you have a conversation and afterwards you think, “Hey, that wasn’t so bad. I liked them! We had fun! I think they liked me,” but then later you start obsessing over everything you said and you become more and more certain that you made a big ass out of yourself? Yeah, I had my second interview today. *crossing fingers*

  • Halloween party

    I spent the morning working on the invitation for our upcoming Halloween Housewarming Party. Check it out:

    Invitation

    Location and phone number blurred to frustrate would-be stalkers. Not that you’ll recognize me and the Snook in our super-duper top-secret costumes! (The pirate idea has fallen by the wayside.)

  • Big Read

    Big Read – the 100 best beloved books in Britain. Roald Dahl is on this list four times! The only authors with as many mentions are Dickens (tops with five), Pratchett, Rowling, and Jacqueline Wilson. (I’ve never heard of her; have any of you read any of her stuff?) By my count I’ve read 38 of these. I have a perverse desire to go through in alphabetical order and cross them all off. It’d probably take years. Anybody want to join me?

  • Iron Chef

    Iron Chef has finally started Down Under and the Snook and I are stoked. I wonder what he’ll make of this Iron Chef Fan Fic though…

  • Ugh.

    As penance for being a naughty knitter, I submitted myself to Pump class this morning. Now I feel as awful on the outside as I do on the inside!
