    Friggin’ blow-in hipsters in Chippendale. @ The House Speciality Coffee http://t.co/z5DXixunYZ


    @RoseRed_Shoes I was told about these. I am very, very glad they are over there and I am over here.


    @drkknits OMG, I JUST HAD A THOUGHT. DUDE. NYMERIA. NYMERIA!


    @redambition You should. Roald Dahl wrote the screenplay! (It’s ridiculous. Austin Powers mocks this one mercilessly.)


    Laying out my clothes and working out transport for my first day at CommBank tomorrow. Nervous like it’s the first day of school!


    @Helen__H Yep, accepted a Technical Business Analyst role at CBA!


    @Helen__H Ahahaha, I can’t. My IIBA study group is that night. GAHHHH.


    RT @CommBank: @web_goddess Hi Kris, thereโ€™s no need to be nervous, weโ€™re glad to have you on board. Goodluck on your first day!


    The Adoration of the Petey Cat. Sometimes he loves me… http://t.co/mZmtmmmeJn


    @witty_knitter Lucky for you, the guild site accepts “Dr.” as a title (thanks to the whinging of @drkknits). Congrats!


    @redambition There was all this weird crap where Dahl claimed to be a spy like Fleming but nobody can prove any of it. I think it’s more…


    @redambition … that he liked fine dining and alcohol and beautiful women, and script doctoring for Hollywood let him indulge that. ๐Ÿ™‚


    @pinkcatknits Welcome aboard. Which branch will you attend?


    @drkknits @knitabulous Until you mind-meld with her and thus she will be your Nymeria. #warg #puppy


    @pinkcatknits Ah, then youโ€™ve picked the best one! And if you come this weekend, youโ€™ll even get my treats for morning tea. ๐Ÿ™‚


    @ozdj No. Because my friend @mrs_sockvictim told me what Iโ€™m wearing on my first day, and itโ€™s a skirt.


    @brittanieshey I like Cover Stories. Hook it up to your Twitter and FB and itโ€™ll pull in all the links people share.


    @pinkcatknits Oh, you can come to 2 meetings as a non-member. Weโ€™re not huge sticklers. And a lot of the Exec come to IC anyway!


    @brittanieshey @shadowbottle Oh, I donโ€™t use it much for RSS reading. I did have it hooked to GReader, and it pulled in my folders.


    @brittanieshey @shadowbottle Ah. Yeah, Iโ€™d say its probably not what you want. Iโ€™m using @TheOldReader and liking it so far!


    Managed about 6hrs sleep, which is good considering I’m such a worrier. Getting dressed. Thanks for all the well-wishes!


    @misswired Haha, usually but not today! Got good tips on nearby cafes.


    So far I’ve learned: Walk on the OTHER side of Lawson St. The trains aren’t crowded going west. And $8.80 return – WTF?! #onmyway


    Photo of my first day outfit as styled by @mrs_sockvictim. TOTES PROFESH. http://t.co/LLcwVt807b


    I should note that I have proper lady shoes in my bag. ๐Ÿ™‚


    Tried it with the jacket too, but I think it’s still too warm. Left it at home. http://t.co/ggaypYo0F0


    @mrs_sockvictim That’s exactly what I did! Woo! I have passed the first WWMFD test. ๐Ÿ™‚


    @randomknits Jesus. I’ve been very spoiled with my commute the last 4 years, it seems.


    @knitdra @randomknits Yep, slightly better. Free Shuttle would be best though!


    Waiting in the lobby. Hmm. Some of these people do not look very corporate.

    @codepo8 ZOMG SO CUTE WANT ONE.


    @pyko Possibly, depending on the other options. However, IIRC my friend @randomknits was stranded by them a few years ago.


    FFFFUUUUU. Totally forgot about Show pickup. Anybody there??


    OMG. We made it. 15min late, but still able to collect. GOOD GRIEF.


    @aunty_toots @RoseRed_Shoes They closed at 4. We got there at 4:15 and thankfully they let us in! Phew.


    So that was exciting. Sudden crazyfast trip to Olympic Park complete. And hey, I got to see my new office for Monday!


    @drkknits *drool* But I’m back in ketosis and hoping to stay that way… ๐Ÿ™


    John Birmingham just successfully shamed me into buying Game of Thrones on iTunes. http://t.co/jp4ZFRxfVw


    @SMinney Yeah, I hadn’t realised it was available on iTunes. $3 an episode seems like a fair price to me.


    @SMinney Of course, we don’t have Apple TV so may continue to download anyway since we can play that more easily. At least now no guilt. ๐Ÿ™‚


    @drkknits @randomknits We may still download. Paying just means I won’t feel guilty. ๐Ÿ™‚ (ITunes DRM can be stripped. Google FairPlay.)


    Decided I needed a talisman for New Job Success. Love this stuff. http://t.co/zMMO2zmOF7


    No, this is *not* my boyfriend’s computer. http://t.co/cAEhfj8n84 LOVE IT.


    @mintie I found the site, but I don’t see it available anymore. ๐Ÿ™ http://t.co/2ye6LUhuHV


    @drkknits @mintie I figured. It’s cool. I’m braindead too; realised when I got home that I had a tube of it stashed away already. DOH.


    @neil_killick I was born in March. March sucks in the US, and it sucks here. I like summer and winter both equally. ๐Ÿ™‚


    @drkknits I honestly forgot that it existed. Was going to chemist for Zyrtec when I thought of getting. Was paying when I realised I had it.


    @eobeara I can’t justify paying $75-100 a month for cable when there are only 1-2 shows on it I want to see.


    @eobeara Australian free TV is pretty good. BBT is on it several times a week. ๐Ÿ™‚


    @eileenDCoE Pics or it didn’t happen.


    @drkknits @knitdra HERMIONE WINS. Check out my sleep graph from last night. I was basically DEAD. http://t.co/A2FMsvr9JY


    @drkknits @knitdra That said, on a normal night I usually wake up 10+ times. No idea why I was in a coma last night.


    @drkknits @knitdra No, no, I simply stuck it to the bulletin board in my office with ALL THE OTHER RIBBONS. ๐Ÿ˜›


    @drkknits @knitdra *snort* My days as a professional (or volunteer, for that matter) knitting ANYTHING are coming to an end, you’ll see.


    @drkknits @lemon_lime @knitdra Nope. No booze, no drugs other than antibiotics.


    @drkknits @knitdra Possibly. It’s on my wrist though, so I likely would’ve noticed. ๐Ÿ™‚


    RT @mpesce: Speaking of #GoT, this just in from @bruces http://t.co/kXsm0e8GwM // Brilliant! cc @drkknits @mrs_sockvictim


    @Alacaeriel Yes, got them at 4:15. https://t.co/sj927fBWCQ


    @kateslemay I can’t believe she’s one already!!

    Mobile Usability for Cats: Essential Design Principles for Felines – Heh. Somehow I missed this one on April Fools Day. The Snook was especially amused that Fitt’s Law holds for cats.

    @drkknits Who? Oh. You mean Drogon! Yes.


    Coles price their cauliflower by the each. Haha, suckers! #biggerthanmyhead http://t.co/iNSPyKMJyN


    @drkknits And now you are truly the Mother of Dragon Puppies.


    @drkknits Damn. According to A Wiki of Ice and Fire, they’re all boys.


    @drkknits Oh wait. Maester Aemon says dragons have no fixed gender. They can change back and forth.


    @drkknits I quite like “Meraxes”, which was flown by one of Aegon’s sisters. Arya mentions it on the show.


    @randomknits Goddamnit Donna every time you talk about a parma I want one too!


    @drkknits @3DogsBums She shall be the Puppy that Will Mount the World! Actually wait, that’s not good.


    @drkknits ZOMG. She looks like Petey Cat, but as a puppy!


    @drkknits Well, Petey is actually “P.D.” for Professor Death. Can you think of a “P.D.” name for her?


    @pyko Flew them to Alice Springs a few years back. Didn’t die. ๐Ÿ™‚


    @pyko Pro tip: pre-pay luggage fees. Friend didn’t and got slugged when she tried to pay at airport.


    @TrinityMartinez @imdominating Just remember: Logan the psychotic jackass is mine.


    @drkknits Flea/heart worm meds?


    @drkknits I order Revolution for the cats from Pets Megastore. Best price I’ve found: http://t.co/TQd3lwIqoY

  • A statement from Chaz Ebert – Roger Ebert’s Journal

    A statement from Chaz Ebert – Roger Ebert’s Journal – I still can’t quite believe he died the day after yesterday’s blog post. He was an amazing writer, and definitely my favourite film critic.
