The cats and I are very pleased about the electric heater coming out. (The Snook made us wait til ANZAC Day.) http://t.co/nwdsOljp
@shanea I too resemble that remark.
My Prime Factorization Sweater – That is some of the best, nerdiest knitting I have ever seen. I applaud you, madam!
Just ran 5K down the mountain. Woo! Now have to run 5K back up. Crap. http://twitpic.com/4r7ogo
Luckily managed to get hot shower before power went out. Hmm. Good excuse to drink beer before it gets warm! http://twitpic.com/4r8rxa
The power is out at knitting camp so we’re all out on the porch to catch the light. http://twitpic.com/4r9v91

Breaking News: We have no hope of power being restored tonight. We are now drinking all the chilled alcohol before it warms.

Bollywood dinner cancelled due to pouring rain and power outage. Makeup and bling was all I could do! http://twitpic.com/4rdkhm
Surprisingly great day! The only thing missing – other than the electricity – was @mrs_sockvictim! Didn’t feel the same without you, Fee!

Down & up a mountain, by myself, in the rain. I feel TOUGH!!

I’m entering @Crust_Pizza #CrustFreePizzaFriday because I’m going out tonight and I can’t be bothered cooking afterwards.
Tsukasa man told us that their lease is expiring and they’ll be gone as of June. NOOOOO! THEY BE TAKIN’ MY SUSHI! @toastman
@knitness Hey Ness – what yarn brands did they have? Anything good?
Scope Creep is ever so much easier to take when the dev takes you to the pub and pours two beers down your throat first.
Waiting for my @crust_pizza. HUNGRY!
@tinkabel Of course not. We paid for it. 🙂
Selling point of the day at Eveleigh Markets (spotted on several signs): “As seen on Masterchef last night!”

@twelveeyes No no no no no. Not a word. Not to be uttered. Makes my skin crawl. I’m pretty sure it was invented by marketroids.
Just downloaded the Business Analyst Body of Knowledge (BABOK) v. 2.0. I am too excited about something so nerdy.
@randomknits In Australia? Has the Snuggie finally arrived on our shores? (I still like the DOONA SUIT myself.)

@sharre We should form the Anti-Tights Liberation Front. I’M RIGHT THERE WITH YA.
@knitness I believe the appropriate response is “Drink til they’re cute.”
Pub. Pub pub pub pub pub.
@venks79 Awww, I’m already home!
@acatinatree American comma? It’s the OXFORD comma, and I am 100% in support. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.
ARGH. Spent whole ride to work sending furious complaint email to Sydney Buses about drivers on 461 & 480 routes. I am officially a crank.

Just bookmarking so I don’t forget: RoseRed has a useful tip for getting consistent yarnovers in a lace pattern.
I got an email yesterday letting me know that I was being followed on Twitter by @motherabigail. *snort* “Oh neat,” I thought. “People are twittering as the characters from The Stand.” This morning I got another notification that I was being followed by @VegasWalkinDude (presumably because I tweeted that I’d meet everybody in Hemingford Home). There are lots of other characters out there (@Nick_Andros, @Stu_Redman, @larry_underwood, @Nadine_Cross, @MOONtomcullen. They’re all pretty well done, sending @ messages back and forth and following the timeline of the story. That said, reading them on the bus in the rain this morning surrounded by sniffling passengers… it started to creep me out a little bit. I have an overactive imagination.
So to assuage my own anxieties, I just did some Googling. The fatality rate in Mexico (according to this article) is 6%. Which sucks, yeah, but we’re not at Captain Tripps levels yet. I’ll hold off til the weekend on stocking up on guns and batteries. (I suppose at least the fact that Australia is never mentioned in the books should make me feel a bit safer. Evidently Randall Flag only operates in the continental US.)
