    My office is so swanky, you can get your shoes shined in an Eames chair.

    Just went out on porch and actually yelled at the college girls upstairs blaring music and singing at 10:30. Assholes. Next stop eviction.


    @misswired We’re under the balconies of the units upstairs. They were playing music and singing LOUD til 10:30.


    @drwitty_knitter @randomknits I nearly threw a shoe at them. Now I’m tempted to leave a passive aggressive note in their mailbox.


    @randomknits @gilmae I do hope you won’t start dressing in drab, featureless clothing, comrade.


    @booyachi @garethrhughes Mine expired over Christmas and Balu had to change it. Happily I like his choice way more than my normal ones.

    I get excited when I hear fireworks these days, mostly because I know that a grumpy tweet from @sydneyfireworks is soon to follow!

    @liamvhogan I’ve always been partial to #c0c0c0


    @drkknits @imdominating Ha! She doesn’t use curlers, of course.


    @carlfish Oh god. I use joker. Are they bad? I don’t follow these things anymore. They’re German. I appreciate German efficiency.


    @carlfish Aaaand now I just learned they’re actually Swiss. Huh.


    So FoodConnect Sydney is being replaced by @OooobySyd, and now the price is going up $4. Not happy. And I can’t pick up at City Cousin. 🙁


    @lizknits99 Whoa – that box is $65! Mine was only $35.


    @lizknits99 Still not quite right. I was able to get veg-only box. And delivery is actually a pain given I live in secure unit.


    @lizknits99 But thanks for the recommendation. I’m just annoyed. My old setup was pretty perfect.


    @lizknits99 FoodConnect let you pick up from a neighbour. That appears to be gone.


    With less than a day to go, my Easter Show entries have been submitted. Now I just have to finish knitting the damn things…


    @drkknits Well. Well.


    @drkknits To be honest. I am thinking of not doing it this year.


    @drkknits I am uninspired.


    @drkknits And without inspiration, it feels like work. 🙁


    @drkknits I was tempted, but there are two more movies to go. Figured I’d hold off on that one.


    @drkknits I still judge everything against Gay Sock Monkey Cowboys. I will never again have such a lightning bolt of perfect inspiration.


    @drkknits But I have guilt about not doing it. I was going to make a post/send an email. Mostly I fear letting down @imdominating.


    @drkknits @imdominating A couple ppl have told me when a fun thing becomes an obligation, you’re allowed to stop.


    @drkknits @imdominating I actually bought socks for a set of 4. Just couldn’t bring myself to start.


    @garethrhughes Huh. I’ve been messing around with it for years but never found a good use. What do you use it for?


    @drkknits @imdominating Sadly, I haven’t seen it yet. 🙁

    Don’t tell my family in Indiana, but I’m secretly pleased that Denver is losing. (Peyton Manning is not, in fact, a long lost cousin.)


    @imdominating Oh you’re kidding. Who named their damn dog after him?


    @ozdj I know what it means. I guess “practice what you preach” is a non-techy analogy? Trying to think of another…


    New shoes. http://t.co/bHyJwrBaeD


    @drwitty_knitter Yes. Went to Children on the Revolution in Brisbane.


    @drwitty_knitter I was going to joke about it being part of the lesbian conversion process. Then I was jealous. (I heart sensible shoes.) 🙂


    @Gin_ev_ra Nice job! Great print too.


    RT @imdominating: NBD, they’re just doing house to house searches in my tiny hometown for a convicted MURDERER who escaped from prison.


    @drkknits Interesting. @JohnBirmingham is the one who guilted me into paying for GoT last year!

    @supercres Als ich 16 war, habe ich ins Deutschland studiert. Aber ich habe meistens vergessen.

    Home. I missed it. (at @SydneyAirport (SYD) w/ 18 others) http://t.co/jnt5DgVpC1


    Fell into @neilhimself’s Ocean at the End of the Lane on the flight from Brisbane. Had to stop at the epilogue in case I cry in the taxi.
