  • 25 Ways to Wear a Scarf

    That’s pretty brilliant, even for someone like me who only ever wears the same scarf in the same way all the time. (Fiona will love it! She owns All The Scarves.) The behind the scenes look at the making of the video is cool too.

    Update to add: I think I need to clarify that I AM NOT THE GIRL IN THE VIDEO. I just saw it online and shared it. The video is from Wendy’s Lookbook.

    I seem to have started a fabric collection. That was unplanned.


    @witty_knitter We went to the “Fabric-a-brac” sale where @miss_reecie had a stall! I bought 3 pieces there. 🙂


    @witty_knitter It changed location quite recently, and to get in you had to climb like 6 flights of stairs. Crowded. Good selection though!


    @randomknits Nice! I love my front loader. It doesn’t have a baby cycle though.


    @AusVintageGrrl It’s a nice colour, isn’t it! But for me it shall ever be a reminder of that DAMN IMPOSSIBLE COOKIE A PATTERN.

    @mpesce @realnickhodge @stufromoz Can I enter this contest? I took the Snook to Campion’s “Holy Smoke.” All I knew was it was Australian.

    @stufromoz @mpesce @realnickhodge Pretty much. There’s no coming back from seeing Harvey Keitel going mad in the Outback in a dress.

    Nougat: Expanding the Custom Carbonite Line – I think Snookums and I definitely need to be encased in carbonite for all eternity.

    Ugh. Couldn’t find “show details” link in new @googlereader. They changed its name and buried in a menu. Didn’t think I could hate it more.


    Movember is my favourite month. http://t.co/Lq5AUcqY


    @alyshajane In the “Feed settings…” menu as “View details and statistics.”


    @knitabulous OH YUM. We went there earlier this year and liked it a lot, despite harried staff and slightly slow service.


    Fauxvember Update: http://t.co/JJ9ukYsO. Snook’s raised $65 so far! (Thanks @SallyPompom and Anonymous for donating…)


    RT @kunaal84: It appears that I am engaged to be engaged 🙂 18th Feb……cannot wait! // SO HAPPY for you and Kriti!!!!!


    @jannism For the record, I have NEVER uttered that phrase EVER Down Here.


    @jannism I don’t hear it often, but I have heard it. Predominantly from assholes.


    @jannism Is THAT where she went!? Ahhh. She hasn’t been seen here in some time. I assumed she was still trying to “crack” the US “market.”


    @jannism @brockleyboyo Snook’s is coming alone nicely too. Photo on my blog…


    Arguing to Snook that 4 schooners of beer totes equals a healthy dinner.


    @jannism Is that one of those DANCING shows? *looks askance*


    @kunaal84 Well, I’m definitely not hungry. More bloaty, actually.


    @jannism Oh jesus. XFactor is why Scary Spice is down here on work visa.

    Joyous 2:30/45s R/W on a beautiful day. I needed that. .


    Didn’t mean to get pissed at the pub. I blame Shane, Simon, and Kunaal.

  • Fauxvember Update

    Hipster MoFauxvember Update
    We are eleven days into the month, and as you can see the Snook’s ‘tache is progressing nicely. His fundraising tally is now up to $65, and he’s closing in on his target of $100! (Special thanks to Sally and Anonymous for contributing.) I’ve been trying to convince him that he needs to “incentivise” people to donate… something like maybe JOINING TWITTER if he hits triple digits? So if you’d like to join me in putting pressure there, please consider donating. And Sing Ho! for a Mo!

  • Paterno got fired?

    Holy crap, Paterno got fired?! I’m totally reeling. I read about the Penn State molestation scandal earlier in the week but figured Paterno would probably escape unscathed. Upon hearing the news, the students predictably rioted. Man, this is just crazy.
