    Tuvan throat singing, Tai Chi, pregnant chanteuses, Blind Boys of Alabama, piano prodigies… and Lou Reed. GREAT night at Syd Opera House!

  • RunningBlog: Week 22

    Another light week of running, mostly because the weather has been so completely miserable. It’s rainy and horrible and I just haven’t been able to drag myself out of bed in the morning. I did manage two workouts at Spudds though, where I am still kicking some major ass. (I’ve had double 100’s on the rower at my last four sessions now.) I also went for two easy runs around the neighbourhood on the weekend. The really amazing part is that the Snook came with me for Sunday’s run! He’s agreed to run the Elkhart 5K Race with me and Mom in July, so he needs to train a bit. It was so fun being out there with him.

    May 29: 5.36km
    May 30: 5.36km
    Total this week: 10.72km (6.7mi)
    Total in 2010: 437.84km (273.65mi)

    To meet my goal of running 1000km in 2010, I should be at 423km. So I’m still ahead. I’ll ramp it back up slowly.

    The other amazing news of the week is that @AirForceTed (of You Don’t Have to Run Alone) and @Passinthrough are both going to be running the Elkhart 5K too! It’ll be an International Running Buddy Meet-up of Epic Proportions. 🙂

    Domain name woes: I had some problems with my domain name not auto-renewing this week, so apologies if the site was down for you at all. If you’re reading this, then goodness and light have been restored to the world.

  • Zipper Bag

    Tonight was my second sewing class over at The Sewing Room. It was great! Zippers are kind of my nemesis, so it was good to get to focus on them. We started by doing a sample piece on calico showing how to place a trouser zipper (like for jeans). Then we started in on our project for the night: this handy bag/pencil case. It’s got a front zipper with a pouch inside, and a size zipper for the main pouch. Once again I was the Hermione of the bunch, zooming ahead and finishing early. It turned out pretty well! My sewing is a little wobbling around the zips, but good for a first attempt. And hey, I only managed to shatter one sewing needle! (I ran over the metal stop at the top of the zipper.) Good times.

    @dancingman Yep, silly kitties. One will hide, but the other will come say hello. It’s more the fur on everything that is the worry! 🙂

    @Passinthrough @AirForceTed We are GO for a post-race BBQ/meetup at my Mom’s place! Will send you details closer to event. 🙂

    Sewing class part two. It’s my nemesis: ZIPPERS!

    Is that a ZIPPER I see before me?? http://twitpic.com/1thqp3

    @randomknits You will be awesome. Don’t even worry about it!

    @Passinthrough Heh heh. It’s still the same day for me! 🙂

    At tonight’s sewing class, I made a bag thing! With zips! And a pocket! Only slightly wonky! http://bit.ly/9w6Gml

    @Lauren_lolly_ Huh? Try again. Just worked for me!

    @Lauren_lolly_ http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/https://www.web-goddess.org Says it’s up!

    @Lauren_lolly_ Is it just the bitly redirect? Can you get to my site directly? I haven’t touched a thing! Maybe your DNS is updating.

    This is so weird! I can get to web-goddess.org from home and iPhone but some can’t. Is it a particular ISP?

    @squozen SONOFA. No notification from registrar. Thanks; will fix ASAP.

    Looks like my domain expired. Crap. It’s okay, should still be in grace period. Will fix ASAP. Thanks everybody!

    It’s @squozen for the win, everybody! CC card expired, so auto-renew didn’t work. It’s renewed now. Your DNS should update soon. THANKS!

    @squozen The Register and Owner is listed as my Gmail. Tech and Admin are inexplicably my old Yahoo. Reminders are all at Yahoo. *facepalm*

    @squozen Yep. Done. Also new contact created with Gmail and assigned to domain. Fun way to start the day!

    @drkknits Are you a fan of the foofy-haired vampire? My R.Pattz-mad cousin sent me this link yesterday: http://bit.ly/9lydPq

    @drkknits It’s all gone. Serious Actors in Serious Historical Dramas don’t have swoopy, sticky-uppy hair, it seems.

    @knitterjp Nice! I didn’t know there was a couch. @witty_knitter led me to believe it was all evil, backless stools.

    @kottke Offmaps looks great… but why does it have to be to the right of the built-in App? Strange requirement.

    Just discovered @offmaps. Perfect for our trip to US next month! (I don’t get the bit about putting the icon to the right of Maps though?)

    RT @kcarruthers: OMG: Kids More Likely to Own a Cellphone Than a Book, Study Finds http://bit.ly/axGpU3 // WTF. DO BETTER, BREEDERS.

    @carbolicious It’s an objective term! Suck it up. And I’m gonna bring your kids a TON of books to OWN when I come visit! 😛

    Good grief. I am a self-referential negative nancy obsessed with numbers and living in the past! http://tweetpsych.com/?q=web_goddess

    @zedsains Dude, some Cody Simpson tweets can help with that.

    RT @damana: I’d like to ask all Geek Girls & their supporters to read, comment and support this post: http://twt.tl/6nWJHKo

    Please RT.

    Guess what I’ve been cooking tonight… http://souvlakiforthesoul.com/vegetarian-pastitsio-pies

    @tytana_ Hahaha, what do you want it for? So you can do sports betting on the couch?! 😛

    @discoknitter Excellent. I would’ve pegged you guys far over on the “Bookish People” side of the bell curve with us anyway. 🙂

    I blogged my homemade Vegetarian Pastitsio tonight. It was Mm Mm GOOOOOD. https://web-goddess.org/archive/9149

    @dancingman @misswired I should mention that we have two stupid cats. In case anyone is allergic to fuzzy, stupid cats
