    Feeling better. Amazing what sleep, shower, and paracetamol can do. Oh, and knitting! Much, much knitting!

    @mrs_sockvictim Congrats! Best of luck with the new job.


    @Gin_ev_ra Try http://askakorean.blogspot.com/. Seriously.


    @Gin_ev_ra Nope, but I read it regularly…


    I keep cracking up whenever I see @venks79 in his wizard hat.


    @missamanda That was at my university. My Dad emailed me about it last night. It’s the main news over there. πŸ™


    The Pickled Brain is a big hit! http://twitpic.com/31s5db I hope it tastes good…


    @thepurple8 It’s basically a White Russian set with gelatin. Very alcoholic! Covered in mixed berries and syrup.


    Phew! The Brain tastes great. Like a tiramisu with a lot of *kick*. πŸ™‚


    Overheard: “Why is everything in this office goatse?!” “Because of @TitusAtticus.” (cc @lemon_lime)


    High point: I won the office Best Costume contest! Free bottle of wine! Low point: I think I’m getting a cold sore. Must be getting sick. πŸ™


    @Kat13v Wow, cool!!


    Went to fill antiviral prescription and it was expired. So now sitting in Dr’s waiting room feeling increasingly like ass… πŸ™


    It’s a beautiful day… and I feel awful. Lymph nodes are swollen and head feels achey. I think this shall be a hermit weekend.

    @redambition Yeah? Want to split shipping? πŸ™‚


    @richapplefool Yep. I used it today to block the stupid fly-in SMH ads. Works great! Just add “smh.com.au##.cN-flyIn” as a new rule.


    Pickled brain is chilling, and witches’ fingers are cooling. I love Halloween. http://twitpic.com/31jc2u


    After frantic sewing, Halloween costume for office party is done. Sneak peek: http://twitpic.com/31kath I SWEAR it wasn’t meant to be sexy.


    @knitness Yep! I have a headband too. πŸ™‚


    @knitness Heh. They’re actually thigh highs; I had to fold them down to preserve some modesty. πŸ™‚


    @jannism That’s why he’s my TV historian rock star boyfriend. πŸ™‚


    Our office Halloween spread (minus the brain, which is still chilling): http://twitpic.com/31ovd7. Props to Gemma for teaming up!

    Sneak peek of Halloween costume. I made the dress two years ago, but the pinny and petticoat were improvised tonight from an old bed sheet!

    Okay, who knows how to kill those stupid fly-in ads at the bottom of SMH stories? Do I just have to use Adblock?


    @AusVintageGrrl I just drag and drop folders onto my library and it adds them…


    Holy. Crap. http://bit.ly/afKpS9 That is right by my house! (cc @steven_noble)


    Oh. My. God. @lemon_lime is playing ragtime piano from memory in my house, and it’s awesome! Party trick!


    @betsybookworm Saw that! Blogged it yesterday. Love it. πŸ™‚


    Another day, another furious email sent to Sydney Buses about a 483 driver who looked right at me as he sailed past Broadway this morning.


    @DDsD I’ve gotten responses from them before. Unfortunately their stupid form doesn’t give you any indication if your message was sent.

    Just completed a 5.87 km run with RunKeeper – Impromptu running group with Raj, Josh, and Kunaal!



  • Halloween

    Just to reiterate for those who missed the message a few weeks ago: we will NOT be hosting our annual Halloween party this year. We decided to take a year off. (And it was such a good idea. No stress!) So no, it’s not that you didn’t get an invitation. There’s no party happening. πŸ™‚
