    @witty_knitter http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/web-goddess.org Seems okay!


    @Kat13v Constitutional crisis?


    Thinking of ordering some more dresses from http://heartbreakerfashion.com/. Anybody want to combine on shipping?


    @Opheli8 Okay! I bought two a few months ago and they’re very nice. Not too expensive either!


    @Ezzles Maybe tonight? @Opheli8 is going to have a look later today as well.


    Woo! Jamie’s 30 Minute Meals just arrived from Doubleday. HALF the cost of Oz bookstores and free shipping: http://bit.ly/hyfYqW RIPPER.

    Second gym session in less than 24 hours… AND DOUBLE HUNDREDS ON THE ROWER, BABY. 102m and 100m. My co-worker said, “I’ve never heard you yell so loud at a workout before!”


  • Should I Work for Free?

    Should I Work for Free? A handy flowchart for those in the creative profession… or any profession, really. (As god is my witness, I will get someone to take over as Guild webmaster this year!)

  • Brisbane Floods

    Brisbane Floods: Before and After. Brilliant gallery from the ABC showing aerial photos of Brisbane with a neat mouseover swipe effect. I had been thinking we were pretty lucky being in Sydney, but recently I found out that Sydney had floods in 1986. Unfortunately I can’t find any resources online that describe exactly which parts of Sydney suffered. Anybody know where I can find a floodplain map?!

    Update: Shite. This story has a firsthand account from someone about the ’86 floods. “The only way I could get home (to the Inner West) was to walk. There were no buses, because much of Broadway was flooded, with water around 1 metre deep all the way from Railway Square to the intersection of City Road.” GREAT.

    I CANNOT STOP LISTENING TO KATY PERRY. Is this a symptom of something?

    Does teaching an observant Muslim about gambling mean I’m going to hell? #myjobisweirdsometimes


    RT @DDsD: RT @Illdrinn KITTEN MITTENS ^.^ http://goo.gl/ybWqU // I am TOTES knitting those for the Easter Show this year!


    @toastman Sesame Street, of course. (You’ve met my friend @mrs_sockvictim before. She used to be the designer on Playschool!)


    @toastman Hmmm. Okay, then it’s probably Mr Roger’s Neighbourhood. That’s the closest.


    @drkknits I’ve knitted a couple Cookie’s… and attempted more… and I disagree vehemently. 😛


    @witty_knitter I was amused to see OTF discredit homeopathy in the past 2 days That gave me hope for humanity.

  • Martha’s Blog

    Martha’s Blog
    Am I the only person completely obsessed with the question of whether Martha Stewart does her own blogging? I think she does, but the Snook thinks I am being hopelessly naive.

    me: http://www.themarthablog.com/2011/01/the-emergency-room-snowstorm.html
    “Normally, I would be out in the elements taking photos, but I asked Mike Fiore, my property director, to cover for me.”
    SEE? MARTHA DOES HER OWN BLOGGING
    Rodd: yes, of course she does
    And Hugh Jackman is by the harbor near the opera center too.
    me: if you are suggesting that one of martha’s staffers does her blogging and actually went out of his/her way to call attention to the fact that somebody else was doing the blogging so as to make people like me more certain that martha is doing it…
    that’s an inception-like level of deceit that my brain can’t process
    her previous post was about splitting her lip
    complete with gross shots of the doctor stitching her up
    MARTHA IS JUTS LIKE ME
