    @drkknits Hahaha… Thanks! ๐Ÿ™‚


    Great meeting! Knitting rockstar Liz Gemmell w/ rapt audience: http://twitpic.com/2ei166. She’s a force of nature! http://twitpic.com/2ei1d3


    @drkknits Oh no. I KNEW I shouldn’t have mentioned it. Seriously, I need you guys to talk me OUT OF IT. Me = stress glutton.


    @drkknits Don’t feed the ego! ARGH! Now you’re tempting me. Seriously. Do not need. Bad Dr K! Bad!


    @drkknits I know of one person who’s thinking of putting her hand up…


  • Pizza

    Our oven is still waiting to be repaired, but I’m already thinking of ways we can hack it to make great pizza

  • Trash

    Happiness Tip: Throw away other people’s trash. I sometimes do this. It only makes me feel happy if the litterer isn’t around though. Otherwise if I see them do it, then my throwing it away usually precedes a blinding rage.

    @squozen My camera app works! But yeah, it’s not a huge leap ahead. Screen is nice, and Facetime would be sweet if I needed it…


    I hope all you leggings-wearers are happy. I just saw a girl in stirrup pants. STIRRUP PANTS! The Apocalypse is upon us.


    @anatyt The ones with elastic at the bottom that goes under the foot. One of the worst fashion offenses of the 80s.


    You guys. Seriously. “Hey Jealousy” was a really good song.


    @redambition Yes. Definitely still is.


    Scott Pilgrim! Woooo! (@ Event Cinemas George Street w/ 3 others) http://4sq.com/8CzdWS


    Scott Pilgrim was precisely as awesome and epic as I’d hoped. Now I want to dye my hair green.


    Any last minute apologies for today’s Guild meeting? Let me know…


    Wish I could skip the meeting. I feel like crap too! But the show must go on. #knittingmartyr #whaaaambulance

    @SallyPompom Nice! Let me know when you want a lesson on the website. I’ll show you how you can post stuff directly yourself. ๐Ÿ™‚


    @drkknits Did you get your postcard? Kunaal said he got his last night, so you should get it soon!


    @sharre 11-7 IS rough. Worst ever. My sympathies…


    @henrytapia Welcome home!


    So tired. Snook and I going to bed at 8pm. @kunaal84 says 1 day of jet lag per hour shifted. Is that right??


    Oven repairman is here. Everybody send positive vibes that he’ll deem it a warranty repair!


    Dear Bus Dude: Any remorse I would feel for coughing on you is removed by your refusal to close your legs and give me more than 20% of seat.


    Teaching @zedsains how to use her iPhone. We have achieved genuine Childlike Wonder (TM) folks!


    @atomic_anu @mpesce Heh. Only if he was on the 461 to the city at 8:45… ๐Ÿ™‚


  • RunningBlog: Weeks 31-32

    I always knew that the last week of the trip would be hard to get in my runs. We were travelling by ourselves in Wisconsin, and we were doing a lot of sightseeing on our feet. (We spent nearly five hours walking through the House on the Rock, for instance, so there was no way I could run after that.) I did get in a 4-miler on the treadmill at our hotel though. Then we basically lost two full days in transit back to Sydney, and then another two to jet lag. Finally managed a decent run (in the freezing rain) on Tuesday, only to come down with a cold later that same day. I’m hangin’ on. My only consolation is that last week was a scheduled cut-back week anyway, so I haven’t wrecked my training plan too badly. I just need to get back out there as soon as I can.

    Aug. 1: 10.05km
    Aug. 4: 6.4km
    Aug. 10: 7.13km
    Total for these two weeks: 23.58km (14.73mi)
    Total in 2010: 590.32km (368.95mi)

    My tally for 2010 has taken a beating though. I’m now 25km behind where I need to be to meet my goal of running 1000km in the calendar year. Eeek!

  • Chunker!

    Welcome to Chunkerville. Population: 2.
    Yikes. Snookums replaced the batteries in our bathroom scales today so we could see how our weights fared after three weeks of American food. Folks, it was pretty depressing. I was actually thinking of going back to Weight Watchers. On a whim though, I checked out Calorie King. I used to like using their site to check nutrition information for Australian foods, but last year they switched to an expensive paid-subscription model. I was pleased to see today that they’ve scrapped this and gone back to FREE. If you’re Australian and you want to try out an online food/exercise tracker, I suggest you check it out.

    Yahoo! Mr. Snook starts his new job today. Best of luck, Snookums! (He’s the Best Husband in the World. He stood in line for two hours yesterday to get me an iPhone 4 to cheer me up.)
