    W00t! Thanks to @kunaal84 for ordering tickets to Amanda Palmer (with @neilhimself) at the Opera House for Australia Day!

    @laimelde I’m a definite Neil fan. (Snook and I went to the House on the Rock in August!) Have never heard Amanda, but looking forward to it

    @Roceal That would be awesome! We’re in the circle, 3rd row back towards the center.

    Look at this offing hipster. (My new dress.) http://instagr.am/p/OJlt/

    Obviously, I need some retro sunnies. http://instagr.am/p/OJpr/

    “Offing”?! Stupid iPhone auto-correct.

    Har Har. @venks79 just came by to ask me to take his order. 🙂

    @swandives But “eg” means “for example”: http://www.wsu.edu/~brians/errors/e.g.html

    SMH FAIL! Photo 19 is NOT Sir Ian McKellan. http://bit.ly/cw8rPn Poor John Hurt. He gets no credit.

    Attention @smh_news. Ian McKellen and John Hurt are actually two separate people. http://bit.ly/cw8rPn

  • Bangs!

    BangsAnd although I liked you anyway, check out your haircut
    A proscenium to stage a face that needs no makeup     – TMBG

    In case you missed it on Twitter or Facebook, on Sunday I got my hair cut. And yeah, I got bangs. (Fringe, they call it here in Australia.) I’m still getting used to it. I haven’t had proper bangs since grade school. The Snook thinks it makes me look like my niece Indie.

  • Cat Odyssey: Indiana State Prison

    Cat Odyssey: Indiana State Prison, Michigan City, Indiana. This is a lovely piece about this prison’s program where inmates can adopt a cat. Well worth a read.

    I got my hair cut on Sunday… with a fringe. (For the Americans, fringe = bangs.) I haven’t had a fringe since grade school. The Snook thinks it makes me look like my niece Indie.

  • SQUIRRELS!

    What the–?! According to Alysha, the pet store at Birkenhead Point is actually selling SQUIRRELS as pets. This blows my mind for several reasons.

    1. I have never, ever seen a squirrel in Australia. They are certainly not native, and I’ve never seen a feral one either. I would’ve thought they were illegal. Like hamsters.
    2. In the U.S. squirrels are, of course, very common. Yet I’ve never heard of anyone keeping one as a pet in a cage. That seems kind of cruel and pointless.
    3. They’re $1200+ each?!?!

    I kinda want to visit the store now just to see them myself for the novelty factor.
