    @CastIronBalcony You can get it. I bought a ginormous piece at Australian Meat Emporium in Alexandria.


    Broke out the knitting for the first time at the new job. Not too many strange stares in the communal kitchen, thankfully!


    Craft Enabler and All Around Awesome Person of the Day Award goes to @randomknits, and if there’s any justice she’ll get that new job too!


    Going to yoga for the first time in YEARS. This is going to be painful, I think.


    Yoga. Ow. Ow. I continue to have the proportional arm strength of a baby T. rex.


    Clarification: my gripe about XBMC was in no way a comment on Snook’s technical ability! Rather that OS software sometimes shits me.


    Me: “Dracaris!” Cat: *blank look* Me: “Dammit! Smite my enemies!” Cat: *licks self*


    @drkknits @randomknits I wore black this past Friday. Still trying to gauge corporate reaction to wacky tights.

    “I want you to feel strong. And you don’t need the comfort of an immigrant in mother’s old stirrup pants to have that.” BWA! cc @drkknits


    @drkknits Re-watching all of AD in preparation for upcoming new episodes. 🙂


    @drkknits @surrenderdotty I don’t want no part of your tightass country club, ya freak bitch! (God I love Franklin.)


    @drkknits @miss_reecie @surrenderdotty Has anyone in this family ever even SEEN a chicken?!


    As the Snook enters 5th hour today of trying to get open source media center to work, I feel less bad about my reliance on iOS ecosystem.


    @laimelde That’s the one. Trying to get it to work with our existing MythTV files and remote has been slightly frustrating.


    @laimelde Do you use it as a DVR to record television?


    @laimelde We mainly use ours for recording and playing back TV.


    @laimelde It does if you hook it up to a tuner card. Theoretically, anyway.


    When the urge strikes to knit a Giant Cabled Thing strikes, I must obey. http://t.co/0kh7PODUAy


    @drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes Blackberry Cardigan! http://t.co/v1IfVOvbEp


    @drkknits @RoseRed_Shoes Some plain brown Zara I bought from @miss_reecie a while back.


    Somehow in the past 5 years I went from the girl who rarely wore dresses to the girl that now owns over 25 of them. Weird.


    @mrs_sockvictim @knitdra @RoseRed_Shoes @randomknits I’m in. I’ve got two squares to finish off for my group and I’m DONE!


    @randomknits Tell yourself you don’t need it. That’s when they want you! You’ll be awesome.

    Slow to get moving this morning. Luckily only a 15min commute! #lovingit

    I can finally step away from the news sites. Phew. So relieved for Boston.


    @stkilda The Boston thing? Front page of every newspaper. I haven’t bothered with TV news, but I’m sure there too.


    The bread photos are killing me. (AND YES, I AM TOTALLY TALKING ABOUT @randomknits.)


    The first time I’ve been knitting here in ages… (@ Barmuda) http://t.co/l5IhRvOnhM

    Once again I am suckered into buying plants I’ll probably just kill. http://t.co/33aqRYPHNx


    @katejf The Kate Davies pattern? I think @crumpet has.


    @ozdj BVT? Another acronym. My spreadsheet is well up over 100 of them now…


    Adventures in Omnivorism: @the_snook is currently roasting a goat’s leg for our dinner. It smells FANTASTIC. #paleo


    @eobeara I think I’ve tried it in curry, but never roasted. We saw them last week at a specialty meat shop and couldn’t resist!

    Woohoo! New PM wants me at CBD office three days a week. Short commute FTW.


    @Opheli8 Yep! Theoretically even walk part of the way with @the_snook, except he is a lazy slacker and goes in way later.


    Waiting for the Snook so he can walk me home for the first time! (@ Darling Quarter) http://t.co/KfmBpaBbLV


    @witty_knitter @stufromoz @SandraHW I am also a massive fan if this app. Cook from it nearly every night!


    @ozdj Okay, that’s hilarious. The guy that owns that scooter lives on my street in Chippo! It’s parked by my house all the time. 🙂


    @ozdj Working on a Saturday again?
