    Ebert gave Hunger Games three stars. This bodes well. http://t.co/ZdPEvU2R


    I used to be just a smug public transport commuter. Then I got a bike. And now riding the bus feels like a jail sentence. #soulcrushing


    Okay, this bus driver must follow me on Twitter because now he’s messing with me. He’s playing *Enya*.


    @traveller0112 We’re not Copenhagen, but we’re pretty good! A friend from Portland marvelled at our separated bike lanes when he visited.


    @drkknits I just got a retweet from Wagamama of my Michael Cera tweet. I am in Twitter hipster ego-stroking heaven.


    @traveller0112 Oh, we have that too. Aggro drivers want cyclists to register and display plates. Sometimes they yell at us. They suck.


    Actual text from my “apology” from @auspost: “…for the inconvenience you has to experience by loosing your license.” And no $23 either.


    RT @thedailymeal: Gstaad Palace’s Champagne and Black Truffle Cheese Fondue… http://t.co/2YSdeEQL // DROOL.


    Been feeling stressed and out of sorts. @the_snook said as I left work: “Maybe you should get a massage.” Best idea ever.


    @jasony Nice link. Yeah, I’ve experienced the “you should take the meeting notes (and get the coffee)” thing. It sucks.


    RT @socialspace: The company behind #drawsomething has been sold to @zynga… // And that’s it, I’m officially over Draw Something.


    Ultrasound results are in: I have quadriceps tendinitis! No more cycling for me for the foreseeable future. Now to make physio appt…


    @shanea I do! And yet I’ve never broken a bone. Random.


    @randomknits I hereby dub thee a fellow Hermione!


    Now Sam Sawnoff has wings! Or are they flippers? http://t.co/eDoNCdFd


    New dress, properly styled. Just need to learn to apply makeup and I’ll look like a proper gr @ Chippendale http://t.co/6JE6oZJ2


    @zephyrama Yep. Had a sale on so I grabbed few things. Got another wiggle too, but I need some shapewear to pull it off. Recommendation?


    @drkknits Thanks! Figured dressing up would distract me from other things. 🙂


    I had an awesome dream last night that NASA selected me to be an astronaut on a moon trip. I was actually disappointed when I woke up.


    @auspost Thanks. It was VH1967710.


    @the_snook It’s like a really scary Loony Tunes cartoon.


    @auspost It wasn’t posted; it was an email. I can forward it to you if you like. Just need an address.

    Smart – Cablog – I’m never as cynical as I should be. God, this is scary. Young women of Sydney, please be safe.


  • They got him!

    After seven years of chasing after him, the cops finally caught Malcolm Naden. Wow. Our criminal is no longer on the loose!

    @auspost Strawberry Hills. I sent through an official complaint on January2nd. Reference #VH1967710. Got meaningless form response back.


    @fitocracy Is there some way to delete my account? I’m just not using the site; would prefer to remove my details rather than leave up.


    @auspost Thank you. I have the packaging that was used to return the license. I’ll take a few photos.


    Wow. I may end up getting compensated from Australia Post for the replacement license after all!


    Awesome. @dooce talks about her experience on #paleo and why she loves it: http://t.co/LodxGW94. (cc @drkknits)


    Wheee! Got another delivery from Heartbreaker today. This means I now own TWO wiggle dresses. Me. TWO.


    @randomknits @gusseting Ooh, ooh, I didn’t realise they were being sent out! How excitement.


    @that_alison Nope. But I line dried it. There’s something on the site about how you should only tumble dry it if you want it to snug up…


    @Ezzles Bwahahaha… What’s it say underneath? Baratheon? (cc @drkknits @kunaal84) http://t.co/Zx4ERufv


    New dress from Heartbreaker. Hello, sweetheart! http://t.co/rg8TDEgD


    @Alegrya Me too! My friend @Opheli8 got a similar one last year and I thought it was super cute.


    @Opheli8 Odds aren’t great that I’ll go. Got too much on! Trying to finish some projects for Saturday deadline.


    Sydney retro fashionistas: In order to pull off the wiggle dress, I’m gonna need some shapewear. Where can I go to get fitted properly?


    @drkknits @kunaal84 It was “comet”. 🙂


    @drkknits Excellent….


    @drkknits The fun part was figuring out whose six pack I was going to draw.


    Every now and then I knit something that disturbs even me. http://t.co/vG0a7hSM


    @Justacogitating Once he has ears and horns it’ll be even better.


    @rachievaichie Because most of the other stuff in the Easter Show knitting competition is boring as.


    @AusVintageGrrl Do you read Teer Wayde’s blog? I think she linked to some recently…


    @mrs_sockvictim @drkknits It’s an iPhone/Android game called Draw Something. Addictive… but I think I’m over it already after one week.


    Spent 20min researching Contour by @jamasoftware. Why no pricing shown on site? I need to know if it’s too expensive to bother demoing.

    10 Reasons the Rest of the World Thinks the U.S. Is Nuts – The Huffington Post – This spot-on rant might just as well be titled: “10 Reasons Kris Doesn’t Live in the U.S. Anymore.” I am very lucky to live somewhere where my employer has no right to know my reproductive status and no means to attempt to control it. Religious freedom my ass
