    Just discovered that Mandy friggin’ Moore covered “Senses Working Overtime.” My brain is dribbling out my ears.


    Google team outing to see Skyfall means I got to come home to James Bond. PHWOAR! http://instagr.am/p/TDLn1HxJCz/


    Pushing hard to finish a big, stressful project at work… but today I reminded myself how good I have it. The project is for one of the biggest children’s charities in Australia. I genuinely like all the awesome people I work with. Making the switch to Sitback last year was a very good decision!

    RT @crumpet: $2000 and 54 hours to go… Buy some art, help me get to my target and prove my boyfriend wrong, people! http://t.co/dbMtGF1f


    RT @Salon: Permanent stigma: If addiction is a chronic brain disease, why do we still talk like it’s a moral failing? http://t.co/zPrEATJ4


    @pyko I made the transition earlier this year too. A big help: http://t.co/NXKzUBVI


    @pyko I like single window mode. With all my custom shortcuts, itโ€™s great. Except when it crashes.

    Stripes are happening! A tiger’s gotta have stripes. http://t.co/FY1WSZRE


    @drkknits Yep. Main body tubes seen with machine, but all assembly and stripes being done by hand. Fingers are sore!


    @catehstn Wow! I hope to see your dress on the night. My party starts earlier that day, so I’m going to try to hit both. ๐Ÿ™‚


    @venks79 Nice! Mine is the girl version of that! Did you ride it all the way home??


    @catehstn Haha, yeah, I’m not dressing up as a Mexican. Tossing up between frocks though…


    @catehstn Well, one is a dress I already have. The other is a mythical better dress that I would need to shop for.


    @venks79 Is your bum sore yet? I bet you’ll be walking funny tomorrow! ๐Ÿ™‚


    @gilmae @knitterjp @randomknits Haha, Rodd showed me the same link this morning. You Redditors.

    @randomknits Whoa, seriously? That’s awesome! Thank you!


    @randomknits Yep, I’ll be there. Wooo! Thank you!


    Orange fleece! @redambition saved Christmas! http://t.co/mYCgbtVA


    Also, I hit upon a GENIUS idea for weighing down my pincushions. Pennies! Dense, flat, inorganic. Perfecto.


    @catehstn Damn. Sorry to hear it. I was at that point a few days ago but it lifted. Hope yours does!


    @merrinmez Damn – I’ve had that pattern for years! I would’ve sold it on to you, as I don’t think I’ll ever knit it. ๐Ÿ™‚


    @redambition @merrinmez Yay! I have gone a bit pincushion mad.
