Who do I know in New York? A friend from Sydney is going to be over there for work for a few weeks, and I’d love to be able to virtually introduce her to a local…
Good session at physio. It’s hard to recognise progress after a year of chronic pain, but my knee is definitely improving.
Good morning Thursday.
Does Anne Hathaway News Drive Berkshire Hathaway’s Stock? – Interesting theory! I wonder if their stock has gone up since she won the Oscar?
Client meeting over. Still no power in the office! Ausgrid are tearing up the footpath on Lower Fort St. Meanwhile, I’m going home. 🙂
Anybody know of a place in Wollongong that will delivery Ben & Jerry’s? @drkknits really frickin’ deserves it.
@Ausgrid Hey, I think most of my co-workers were happy for the chance to work from home on such a lovely day. So no complaints here. 😀
@dancingman Don’t think so. Failed around 5pm last night; apparently 38 buildings affected. They were literally digging up footpath today.
@pinkcatknits @drkknits I wish I could! I fortunately I’m in Sydney; not much I can do besides curse the dickhead responsible. 🙁
@dancingman Does your secret info include the likelihood that it’ll be fixed (and I have to go to work) tomorrow? 🙂
Silly me. I thought I’d be able to buy a postcard at @auspost. Instead it’s just toys, metal cupcake stands, and candy. I wish I was joking.
I am the worst person in the world to offer advice to the heartbroken.
@drkknits QUIT TWEETING. ENJOY THE GODDAMN SERENITY.
@that_alison The Reject Shop is better organised and cheaper with a shorter queue. I’ll go straight there next time. 🙂
@pinkcatknits However long he says it will take – be prepared for twice as long. I speak from experience.
RT @textfiles: So @twitter announced they’re killing off versions of Tweetdeck, on their posterous blog: https://t.co/nn8BS1RZ1k ..which …
WTF. @twitter is killing my beloved and carefully maintained OLD version of Tweetdeck? THAT COMPLETELY SUCKS.
@drkknits Other than the birthday thing, this was written by you in an alternate universe: http://t.co/ZiclOofpJI. PS I want that K necklace

@Alacaeriel I don’t think you had nearly as much done. If @pinkcatknits is talking architect, it will be more on par with ours.
@Alacaeriel @pinkcatknits Ours was ripped out completely, down to bare concrete floor and walls. Had a wall moved. Custom everything.
@Ausgrid Thanks! I guess that means I have to head into the office. 🙂
Interesting reading. #productmanagement http://t.co/ZtuvydVgzH In companies with this model, product managers become little more than…
@auspost Broadway Post Centre. I was sending a physical parcel to someone and wanted an Australian postcard to put inside, not an e-card.
@auspost Broadway used to have quite a lot of stationery. Seem to have replaced it with large Bureau de Change and lots of random stuff.
The decline of mid-range clothing – I really need to get back to sewing, pronto.
I haven’t seen a lot of Parks and Recreation, but we watched it with the Carbos in LA and they seem to really love it. That’s how I know that they’ll freak out over this Ron Swanson Quilt – complete with actual Ron Swanson!
RT @9NewsSyd: 9RAW VIDEO: The moment 3 armed men robbed an #Armaguard van outside #Broadway shopping centre http://t.co/XNtVEZ5RV1 #9Mor …
@Alex_Manchester Meh. I agree with every single comment about their stupid auto-playing video.
@Alex_Manchester I was using the Fairfax Video Blocker extension, but it doesn’t seem to work anymore. You got a better way in Chrome?
@Alex_Manchester Right. I’m not offended by redesign so much as emphasis on video and imagery to detriment of quality journalism & editing.
I’ve got 72 hours to whip up a Game of Thrones related costume, preferably not “Medieval Whore”. Any ideas?
RT @heathergracious: @web_goddess Hodor? Hodor hodor hodor. // HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
How hard do you reckon it’d be to scupt a horse’s heart out of gelatin? Real question.
@pixel8ted Yeah, just hoping something less boring! I think Brienne might be the go, but I need some armour.
@twelveeyes Or approximate, in some sort of fashion. Doesn’t need to be anatomically correct, just messy. Given that I’d be eating it.
@pixel8ted 72 hours, remember.
@twelveeyes Ah, nevermind. The Snook refuses to dress as Khal Drogo anyway.
@dhgarske That’s Brienne. Yeah, I’m thinking her. Just need some armour and a sword.
@heathergracious @drkknits That’s not bad – he can change his face! Anybody could be him!
@heathergracious @drkknits A girl could have a lot of fun with that.
RT @DhyanaScarano: Ignite Sydney 10 is open for registrations. Always a great night at the Oxford Art Factory http://t.co/4wJwfWryiy
Did anybody else in the Rocks/CBD lose power, or is it just our awesome building?
@janiematts Ooh, tempting. You really got one?
@eobeara I don’t have any soft dragon toys. And I’m not in the mood to go nekkid. 🙂
Thanks to @janiematts, I’ve now got a medieval hoochie dress! Now how to style? I’m thinking perhaps Asha Greyjoy, as it has pirate vibe…
@DDsD @janiematts Depending on styling, I could look like Petyr Baelish isy employer…
Pan Roasted Chicken Breast with Dijon & Tarragon, Asparagus, and Cauliflower “Rice” #paleo http://t.co/6AiZhzLjZ3
Medieval wench! It’s actually rather ragged – now I’m thinking maybe White Walker? http://t.co/a16dPu1Zsp
@drkknits Or else Asha Greyjoy. With boots, maybe, with a kraken sigil somewhere? I PAY THE IRON PRICE, BITCHES.
@drkknits She wears pants on the show, true.
@drkknits Only if the Snook can do Jon Snow, and he doesn’t have his fro anymore, sadly.
@drkknits Cree. Pee. I suggested he go as the Drowned God. 😀
@kunaal84 Wait, you’re going too? AWESOME!
@kunaal84 Sweet! The Snook had suggested I take my “other husband” instead. Now we can all go! 🙂
Power went out at work at 5pm last night, and apparently it’s still not back. I’m on the bus heading in… for some reason. Not sure.
@BendalongMorgan Judging by emails, most of them have already grabbed their laptops and headed home!
@BendalongMorgan For all the lucky ones who don’t have meetings. (Unlike me.)
