The Sharky Tea Infuser. So awesome! It would make me drink more tea.

@FryingPan Yep. Along with @venks79… and @kunaal84… One big happy family! 🙂
Should I make Rice Krispie Treats for knitting camp? Decisions, decisions…
@Gin_ev_ra @bellsknits That’s the awesome part: no baking in Rice Krispie Treats! 🙂
Spent 15min buzzing wrong entrance at Margarita’s place. Note to self: Sometimes Google Maps LIES.
HOLY CRAP. I got Easter Show feedback from the judges in the post tonight! Anybody else??
My actual judges’ feedback: “Knitting well done. Neck not sitting properly.” That’s it. Small enough for a tweet. *sigh*
@randomknits It’s only for the Aran. Maybe they only did certain categories? I didn’t specifically request it. I posted on Rav…
There was a… slight problem… with the Rice Krispie Treats. But I think they’re okay. Just maybe slightly… odd.
I made the Treats, then went back to cooking dinner… and couldn’t find the spoon. The spoon I’d been stirring the curry with. Oops.
But hey, Rice Bubbles? Good. Marshmallow? Good. Curry? Gooooooood.
@Gin_ev_ra I’m Optus, and I had service last year. Even 3G when the wind was blowing the right way!
I successfully fed Snookums a Rice Krispie Treat without him detecting the “secret ingredient.” So I think we’re all good. 🙂
All packed up for knitting camp. Just waiting for the iPhone to sync up before I head in to work…
@drkknits But he’s so cute! And his hair goes all SWOOPY FORWARD and stuff! (And he’s coming to Sydney this weekend.) 🙂
@jannism It’s my fault for grabbing all those free Lonely Planet apps the other day. They’re pretty big.

RunningBlog: Week 16
A nice easy week to follow that long run. Sunday was meant to be a 5km time trial, but my speed let me down miserably. I decided not to beat myself up too much over it though; as much as I keep telling myself I’M NOT SICK, I think my immune system has been fending off something. I feel okay right now though, and I’m actually looking forward picking up my distance/speed again. Maybe the funk is finally clearing?
April 16: 6.91km
April 18: 5.16km
April 21: 5.37km
Total this week: 17.44km (10.9mi)
Total in 2010: 329.92km (206.2mi)To meet my goal of running 1000km in 2010, I should be at 307.6km. So I’ve still got a healthy cushion there.
Of course, you’re probably asking (as Ted did this week): Where’s the next episode of Geek Girl Runner? Yeah, sorry about my increasingly erratic podcasting schedule! I’ve just had a lot of balls in the air lately, and the podcast has been the easiest one to drop. I’ll try to get one out soon, I promise. 🙂

Coffee in Australia
Coffee in Australia. I left a comment expressing my surprise that they didn’t mention cappuccinos. They seem pretty popular here. Me, I’ve gone from lattes to a long black with a splash of cold milk, no sugar. Because I’m hard-core like that.

@randomknits I might recycle the bridesmaid’s dress from my sister’s wedding. I could have donated it! But instead it’s just in the closet.
I’m live-tweeting #masterchef again over at @getupgo. More details on our site! http://bit.ly/9amFWN
RT @kcarruthers: LOL ‘Glee’ Gleeks vs. Justin Bieber Beliebers: Twitter War! http://bit.ly/aY1dvq // Attn @getupgo!
Channel 10: Your website sucks. The Glee page does not say WHEN THE NEXT EPISODE IS ON. You have no email address. YOU FAIL AT THE INTERNET.
@toastman Actually I need to know for work, so not really a whitewhine. Still definitely a #firstworldproblem though. 🙂

@Roceal Ours died last yr. Do you need a recommendation to replace it? Thomson Plumbing was cheapest and best we found: http://bit.ly/9ohPT
Went to visit @SallyPompom in hospital but had to leave early. Fear I may have finally caught Snook’s cold. Bleurgh.
Nope, not feeling good at all. Doing that Elaine Benes thing where I SHRIEK at fellow commuters in my head. MOOOOVE! MOOOOOOOOVE!
I am live-tweeting #masterchef over at @getupgo with a couple friends from work!
HAHA! Did you see the look on Jonathan’s face when Jimmy’s name was announced? I think he threw up in his mouth a little! #masterchef – KH
@Epaulette *sob* I don’t have any pink pants! But I could tie a jaunty scarf round my neck…
@randomknits Hahahah… Okay, Milk Duds are the antithesis of Peeps. Milk Duds are gooooood. I’m glad you’re trying a worthy American candy!
@randomknits @gilmae Your next target: Sugar Daddy. Seriously. http://bit.ly/c2llqO

Still behind.
Well, the depression of last week has lifted but I’m still finding it hard to get moving. I had both a flu shot and an allergy shot last Friday, and I’ve just felt a bit sluggish and flat ever since. My workouts have been frustratingly non-productive. I just feel like I’m fighting everything now. I’m also in desperate denial that I’ve finally caught the Snook’s cold. I’M NOT SICK. I’M NOT SICK. If I repeat it enough times, it’ll be true, right?

@ozgamer Nice. My new fave photo apps are TiltShiftGen and ShakeItPhoto. 🙂
Congrats to @TimBags and @Steffi_83 on their big news! 🙂
@SallyPompom Hooray! Great to hear it. Still at hospital? Was planning another visit tomorrow evening…
Eek, I time-shifted and I’m half an hour behind on Masterchef. Hopefully there are enough ads for me to catch up to @getupgo!
@getupgo My husband referred to it as a Pavlova Hat. 😛
I just paid off my final student loan payment. Over $40K paid out over 11 years. EPIC. I feel a little dazed.
