    Red for marriage equality. My, but it’s cosy on this bandwagon!

    I love all you guys. I don’t see why I should be able to have a godless, childless marriage that took place in Vegas (at the same place where Britney had her 55 hour marriage) that endows us with all the full rights of the government, and other people can’t just by virtue of who they love. That’s just stupid.



  • In a Room Full of Naked Koreans, Margaret Cho’s Body Is an Unwelcome Sight

    In a Room Full of Naked Koreans, Margaret Cho’s Body Is an Unwelcome Sight – Margaret Cho kicks all kinds of ass, and this is a lovely essay. I think it’s wonderful that she’s so proud of her body.

    Holy crap. This new PO is from THE FUTURE. (@ Australia Post – @auspost) http://t.co/NfTx0IO9AH


    Let Them Eat Fat – http://t.co/2thjU9ocE2 via @WSJ // HEAR HEAR! #paleo cc @drkknits


    Turns out that corporate finance doesn’t like to employ criminals, and you have to jump through some serious hoops to prove you aren’t one!


    @nolim1t They don’t seem to mind if you sold dodgy premium SMS services to dumb teenagers, so I think I’m okay. 🙂


    A day of frustration and annoyance, mostly due to bias tube appliqué and my suckiness at it. http://t.co/OxfwizddLl


    @knitterjp @knitdra Yep. Had to get cert. copy of 100pts of ID, fill out forms, etc.


    @pixel8ted I am very annoyed at that pucker in the middle.


    @randomknits @gilmae The self-cleaning cycle on our oven gets pretty hot. I’ll turn him to ash and we’ll split the plane fare!


    @bezthomas Oh cool! Unfortunately I only got them to work flat, so the way they’ve stuffed them rather buggers it up.


    @drkknits You should go to MoMA now and see Tilda sleeping in a box!! http://t.co/kUTgdx7FFC


    @drkknits Hahahaha. We’re always 12 hours behind the big apple…


    It’s not every day you get to use the phrase “nipple-related shenanigans” in an email. (The context was not as fun as you imagine.)


    @Gidgetknits @drkknits She’s in complete quilter denial. But it’s cool, because I think I’m totes over quilts.


    @wheelyweb Ha! I myself have been similarly confused by Spotify charges at least twice.

    Catch-up with friends, and I finally got to meet Mitchell Milbank! Rodd, Nathan, @supfarn, Eva [pic]: http://t.co/dr7iwYtNfb


    @randomknits I am wafting it in her general direction as we speak.


    RT @randomknits: Good luck today @knitterjp // I second that!


    @kev_austin @neil_killick Reminds me of when I worked at knitting shop. Everyone asked: “How many balls of wool to knit a scarf?”


    @kev_austin @neil_killick There’s no answer to that question. Tried explaining over and over. Finally just started saying 4. Yes, 4. Always.


    @kev_austin @neil_killick Estimation through exasperation. 🙂

    @catehstn Have a great trip!


    @trevoryoung @Yvonne_Adele I switched to web version, which they’re keeping for now. I actually like it!


    RT @TheOldReader: Just finished a lengthy explanation on how import queue works — http://t.co/OqTJRbEizF
    Remember, you should get an ema …


    @henrytapia They’ve said they’re going to offer paid accounts. I’m holding out for that.


    @henrytapia My feeds are in, and I like the functionality. Does exactly what I want it to! Sharing just like the old days.


    @henrytapia Not that I know of. I prefer to read on desktop/laptop mostly. Use Flipboard on iPhone/iPad.


    @henrytapia Oh yeah. I use desktop to go through my feeds. I use Flipboard when I’m bored in a queue.


    @henrytapia I’ll admit to a small amount of anti-Google spite there too. Use the one that agrees with me how they screwed it up.


    Coca-Cola Brownies: so wrong and so right at the same time. http://t.co/57Da7isQBS


    @katejf http://t.co/VcP09e4qE0 – trying it out for the first time, so who knows. Maybe it’ll suck!


    @mmastertheone http://t.co/VcP09e4qE0 Trying it for the first time – so far they look good!


    @ozdj Are you at work on a Saturday?!


    @stufromoz @DDsD In Chippendale it lasted just long enough for me to scream & run like a maniac out to the clothesline to rescue my clothes.


    @DDsD @stufromoz Screw it. They were mostly dry. 10 minutes in the tumble dryer will finish.


    @DDsD @stufromoz Sometimes I’m an unrepentant middle-class capitalist pig.


    @aimee_maree Thank you! Not sure about working in big corporate finance, but I’ll give anything a shot once. 🙂


    @supercres Yep. Interesting. Not what I expected. Maybe I didn’t use enough cocoa…


    @misswired Woo! Were they looking for them? Or just random?


    Earth Hour in Darling Harbour is… not so much. At least Centrepoint is dark! @ Darling Harbour http://t.co/Kz1lHjsiKM


    @randomknits I need a pattern for that dress. For me. Now. 🙂


    Just woke up. *yawn* That was nice.
