    I got my hair cut on Sunday… with a fringe. (For the Americans, fringe = bangs.) I haven’t had a fringe since grade school. The Snook thinks it makes me look like my niece Indie.

  • SQUIRRELS!

    What the–?! According to Alysha, the pet store at Birkenhead Point is actually selling SQUIRRELS as pets. This blows my mind for several reasons.

    1. I have never, ever seen a squirrel in Australia. They are certainly not native, and I’ve never seen a feral one either. I would’ve thought they were illegal. Like hamsters.
    2. In the U.S. squirrels are, of course, very common. Yet I’ve never heard of anyone keeping one as a pet in a cage. That seems kind of cruel and pointless.
    3. They’re $1200+ each?!?!

    I kinda want to visit the store now just to see them myself for the novelty factor.

    My hand friggin’ hurts. You know, the one I took a chunk out of when I crashed onto the pavement this morning. 🙁

    @drkknits Yep. Sign me up for Remedial Walking. It should be conducted in a swimming pool so I don’t further injure myself re-learning.

    Whipped up an 18-page spec on very short notice. @VenessaHunt is going to be my best friend now. 🙂

  • The Shirt Skirt

    The Shirt Skirt. Tutorial for making a casual shirred skirt from an old T-shirt. Brilliant!

  • Ceramics Workshop

    A lovely little ceramics studio in our neighbourhood is having a bowl decorating workshop. I think I might go!

    Sharing pumpkin pie at work. My Monday is improving.

    @imdominating I once watched Mansfield Park TWICE on the same plane flight just to see JLM in period costume.

    Any QA people looking for work? We have a position going. DM me if you’re interested.

    I hate storms! Poor cats are hiding. They do too.

    Anybody have Vogue Knitting Winter 2009/2010? http://bit.ly/9OVXvm My conquest of the Easter Show depends on it!

    @miss_reecie Sweet! Can you look up something for me? Making hipster cardy for Snook. What are the sizes? http://bit.ly/9G9JlK

    @miss_reecie So that’s the finished size? With garment closed?

    @miss_reecie Thank you! I’d love to borrow it on Saturday if you’ll loan it to me. 🙂

    About to order $760 worth of Brooklyn Tween wool from the U.S. *gulp* No, it’s not all for me…

    @mirvettium 62 all up. Not all in the Brooklyn Tweed; a couple other randoms in there too. Big joint order for 5 people in total. 🙂

    @jenbishopsydney Great job! What are you doing that’s working so well?

    @witty_knitter Whoa! It’s like an episode of House or something.

    We have hired a new “Chris” in the office who sits 15 feet from me. This is going to be trouble. I keep hearing my name and looking up.

    Just completed a 6.07 km run with RunKeeper – Stacked it! Skinned my knee, hand. Still finished though…

    Post-race protein loading. Is it too early for beer? (@ Cafe Guilia w/ 2 others) http://4sq.com/4INADN

    @kunaal84 You did awesome! Now go sit in an ice bath. 😀

    Oh, I think it’s PUMPKIN PIE TIME.

    @gadgetgirl70 Fresh! From my ignored jack-o-lantern pumpkin, actually. Recipe: http://www.pickyourown.org/pumpkinpiejackolantern.php

    RT @carbocommander: @carbolicious your nuts smell great! // SNORT. Ha!

    Count ’em: 1, 2, 3 pumpkin pies! (The middle one is rectangular because I ran out of pie plates!) http://twitpic.com/34nx5u

    @Alegrya If you’re anywhere near Broadway tonight, let me know and you can come have a piece. 🙂

    @Alegrya Ha. Just realised you were far, far away. I keep forgetting that. Sorry to taunt you with pie!

    I baked three pies… and how I’m hemming curtains. WTF. Who is this be-fringed domestic goddess?

    Homemade pumpkin pie with real whipped cream. http://twitpic.com/34pvbw So good! I want to eat the whole pie but Snook won’t let me.

    @AusVintageGrrl If you can get here in the next 30 minutes, I’ll pack up a couple pieces for you… 🙂

    GODDAMMIT. Cookie A has screwed me again! Stupid error in the stupid razza frazza pattern… FROGGED. GAH.

    Wow. So “Sock Innovation” has a LOT of errata. http://bit.ly/azDLRg That kinda sucks.
