@tmellc To be honest, I’m put off by the sickly pink colour scheme. I bet @randomknits will say the same. (Also, I tend to block spammers!)
Wow. Sounds like the Verizon iPhone is tempting my Mom to switch. I figured she’d be a die-hard Android hold-out. #tippingpoint
@CelenaStagman91 Blocking you, spammer.
Today is my day for twitter spam, it seems. I’ve blocked and reported two users already!
@redambition So far it’s you, me, Snook, and @kunaal84! Go team geekgirlrunner! 🙂
I am COVERED in freakin’ feathers. COVERED.
@randomknits You have no idea.
@thezedmiester All will be revealed on the blog in a couple days…
@drkknits Do you know they DYE turkey feathers black? My fingers looked like they’re singed. And my couch looks like a bird died.
@drkknits I definitely am! And hey, I had a rash on Friday. And now I’m covered in features. BRING ON MILA KUNIS, WOOO.
@drkknits Features? FEATHERS. #birdbrain
@randomknits Yep. I even got it on my face somehow!
Google Australia are cancelling their hiring initiative. This is more disappointing than you think. 🙁

A new low in public behavior. Woman next to me on bench on York St is picking off her toe calluses. PUKE.
Heartbreaker have just launched their Spring 2011 line: http://bit.ly/f3xDuy. SO CUTE. NEED MOAR PRETTY DRESSES NOW!
Gearing up for tonight’s Jamie Oliver 30 Min. Meal experiment: Cheat’s Pizza, 3 Delish Salads, Squashed Cherries & Vanilla Marscapone Cream!
@Bells_G To me it was slightly weird. As if there are only 2 groups: those with kids and the infertile. What about those who choose not to?
@Bells_G She just makes it sound so binary. Am I supposed to feel less of a woman for choosing not to have kids? Not arguing; just musing…
Just blogged: Jamie’s 30 Min Meals #3 – Cheat’s Pizza, 3 Salads, & Cherry Marscapone Dessert. Perfect for a summer eve! http://bit.ly/h8nNwy
@randomknits Did you get some comfy shoes? Best of luck – you can do it!
Cutback week. Short, easy run w/ Magic Mile. Crappy. Back & foot bothering me. At least it’s cooler!
This was our closest attempt yet! Managed it in 38:26. Very tasty too…
This was our third official cooking/blogging attempt from Jamie’s 30 Minute Meals. It’s been so hot in Sydney this week that we wanted to choose a “cooler” meal, something with lots of salad. We settled on Cheat’s Pizza with 3 Delish Salads, Squashed Cherries & Vanilla Marscapone Cream. It actually worked out pretty perfectly, as we had a surfeit of tomatoes and basil from our weekly veggie box, and cherries were on special at the grocery store.
Quick verdict: This was the first recipe where we didn’t substitute anything; we had it all. This was also our FASTEST attempt yet! Elapsed time: 38:26. That’s pretty damn good! I think you could easily get this one down to 30 minutes once you had the recipe memorised. (There’s also a step we’d eliminate if we did it again; more on that in a minute.) Overall I rated it 9/10, while the Snook judged it 8/10.
@randomknits noooooooo. I bought 4 of those! 🙁
Me and Snook at Strathfield Park. http://twitpic.com/3wlr3s It is literally over 100F. http://twitpic.com/3wlrk3
@carbolicious Awesome, so glad you liked it! WE ARE SEX BOB-OMB. 1 – 2 – 3 – 4!
At Strathfield Park for Sean & Jess’s engagement BBQ. It’s 41C here. That’s like 105F. We’re roasting, even in the shade.
I told you it’s hot.
He’s a classy man.
Don’t think I’ll go to the RAS Arts Preview Night. $27 is too expensive for what it is. For that, I can go to the Show (w/ free transport).
Upon further investigation, Show tickets are $34 (or $31 on preorder). THIS WHOLE THING IS A RORT.
@jannism Well, I *could*, but it would involve a time machine to 1993. And lots of weed.
@drkknits Well, now I’m tempted to suck it up and go to the Preview night. Unless you want to hit the Show together?
@drkknits Aww, thanks. You should give to somebody who can’t afford it. I’m just being a tight-arse. 🙂
@squozen Rodd uses Exetel. I think they do that? It’s pretty much “a la carte”. He spents < $20/month on his plan.
@squozen It’s resold Voda, I think.
@squozen Ahhh, sorry. 🙂
@witty_knitter @knitabulous So we all boycott the Preview night this year? There’s a thought.
Company is looking for a few more web devs: http://bit.ly/f9oDyy. Let me know if you’re interested!
@mpesce Congratulations! Did you get a tree? Clover didn’t give me a tree; instead I got a lousy inkpen.
@knitdra I am on my second iPhone4. I adore it. I am surgically attached to it. It is my favorite gadget of all time.
@carbolicious Hmmm. Can you mail me a piece??
Medical mystery solved: heat rash! My whinging about the weather is now justified, as it’s actually attacking me physically.
@AusVintageGrrl Do they sell Noxema in Australia? Man, I loved Noxema.
@henrytapia Snook will be excited.
@henrytapia I was not being ironic in the slightest. He is the only straight, male Roxette fan in the entire world.
Oh @gruber. Tell me that wasn’t a snark on knitting & crafting in your blog pitch for the Talk Show episode. Why is that meant to be funny?
@gruber I had to double-take. Knitting is HUGE online. @ravelry is building an iPhone app. It’s not as far from your interests as you think.
