@Alex_Manchester Meh. I agree with every single comment about their stupid auto-playing video.

---

@Alex_Manchester I was using the Fairfax Video Blocker extension, but it doesn’t seem to work anymore. You got a better way in Chrome?

---

@Alex_Manchester Right. I’m not offended by redesign so much as emphasis on video and imagery to detriment of quality journalism & editing.

---

I’ve got 72 hours to whip up a Game of Thrones related costume, preferably not “Medieval Whore”. Any ideas?

---

RT @heathergracious: @web_goddess Hodor? Hodor hodor hodor. // HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

---

How hard do you reckon it’d be to scupt a horse’s heart out of gelatin? Real question.

---

@pixel8ted Yeah, just hoping something less boring! I think Brienne might be the go, but I need some armour.

---

@twelveeyes Or approximate, in some sort of fashion. Doesn’t need to be anatomically correct, just messy. Given that I’d be eating it.

---

@pixel8ted 72 hours, remember.

---

@twelveeyes Ah, nevermind. The Snook refuses to dress as Khal Drogo anyway.

---

@dhgarske That’s Brienne. Yeah, I’m thinking her. Just need some armour and a sword.

---

@heathergracious @drkknits That’s not bad – he can change his face! Anybody could be him!

---

@heathergracious @drkknits A girl could have a lot of fun with that.

Did anybody else in the Rocks/CBD lose power, or is it just our awesome building?

---

@janiematts Ooh, tempting. You really got one?

---

@eobeara I don’t have any soft dragon toys. And I’m not in the mood to go nekkid. 🙂

---

Thanks to @janiematts, I’ve now got a medieval hoochie dress! Now how to style? I’m thinking perhaps Asha Greyjoy, as it has pirate vibe…

---

@DDsD @janiematts Depending on styling, I could look like Petyr Baelish isy employer…

Medieval wench! It’s actually rather ragged – now I’m thinking maybe White Walker? http://t.co/a16dPu1Zsp

---

@drkknits Or else Asha Greyjoy. With boots, maybe, with a kraken sigil somewhere? I PAY THE IRON PRICE, BITCHES.

---

@drkknits She wears pants on the show, true.

---

@drkknits Only if the Snook can do Jon Snow, and he doesn’t have his fro anymore, sadly.

---

@drkknits Cree. Pee. I suggested he go as the Drowned God. 😀

---

@kunaal84 Wait, you’re going too? AWESOME!

---

@kunaal84 Sweet! The Snook had suggested I take my “other husband” instead. Now we can all go! 🙂

---

Power went out at work at 5pm last night, and apparently it’s still not back. I’m on the bus heading in… for some reason. Not sure.

---

@BendalongMorgan Judging by emails, most of them have already grabbed their laptops and headed home!

---

@BendalongMorgan For all the lucky ones who don’t have meetings. (Unlike me.)

---

Living dangerously: starting a knitting project without making sure you’ve got enough wool to finish.

---

Yet the knitting gods have smiled, and I found one more ball. My chances of disappointing the Show judges are intact!

---

Getting slightly worried that it’s 8:15 and the gardeners aren’t here. Am I actually going to have to go to work after all?

---

Oh great. Builders finally wrote to say they’re *not* going to be here today. So I’m going to be hours late to work for nothing. Jerks.

---

And now the cooktop repairman is here. Likely continuation of Monday suckage, or surprise turn of events?

---

We have a working cooktop! I’ll never buy Blanco again, but I’ve got nothing but good things to say about @HarveyNormanAU. Thanks HN!

---

@henrytapia @the_snook Nope. He just seemed happy he knew where to find manuals on their crappy website.

---

@HarveyNormanAU Please thank Selwyn personally for me. I don’t know if he helped with solution, but his communications were much appreciated

---

RT @smperris: People really should unfollow more and argue less. Life is too short to spend it being outraged on the internet.

@drkknits You gotta make a list! It’s critical.

---

@randomknits You kill me. KILL ME.

---

@randomknits HOLY SHIT THAT IS GORGEOUS

---

Decided to cast on for 3rd Show item. Because really, if I don’t have the judging to bitch about for 12 months, my life will be empty.

---

On the plus side, it’s not beaded. Because I’m not an insane masochist, like my Knitting Show Nemesis @miss_reecie.

---

@miss_reecie My soundtrack: “You’re the Best” by Joe Esposito from the Karate Kid soundtrack. BRING IT.

---

@Alacaeriel @miss_reecie That’s bravery! My nemesis has an annoying habit of winning categories the first time she enters them.

---

@SallyPompom @witty_knitter Did you have wine? I find a glass of wine is crucial to that first cut.

---

@randomknits Is it underneath a BIG FRICKIN’ PILE OF LIBERTY PRINTS, maybe?

---

@SallyPompom @witty_knitter You steeked for the first time – SOBER? Me and the ghost of Elizabeth Zimmerman are quietly horrified.
