Death by knitting needle. Pretty awesome AskMeFi question about horror movies featuring knitting-related murders.
Woot, my knee-jerk don’t-overthink-it pub-quiz answer was Iran which seems to be [✓]. I ‘knew’ it was more populous than…

Magic at Uluru
Magic at Uluru. It rained at Uluru earlier this month and a photographer was there to capture it. Amazing. Our tour guide told us how it looked in the rain when we visited last year, but said it’s a pretty rare occurrence. Neat.

@Kimchiboy0208 I’m still thinking about it…
@Fiestywenchyone Bah. This American understands it just fine. It’s just the funny terminology for positions and bowling styles I don’t get.
@Fiestywenchyone You never thought a “googly” was a weird name for a sports thing? And come on, one position is actually called silly! 🙂
@andrewsayer Me too. But it’s just the Phone app. How do you actually get out of it? I had to restart.

Just completed a 6.01 km run with RunKeeper – Nice slow evening run with Snookums. Legs are SORE from Spudds.

@imdominating @carbolicious Jeez, it’s evening here so it must be SUPER late over where y’all live. GO TO BED!
Did I lend any of you my brain mold last year? I can’t find it anywhere! How will I make brain pannacotta without it?! 🙁
I only noticed the brain mold was missing when I went looking for the Viking helmet. Obviously we have angered the Halloween gods. 🙁
RT @kunaal84: Just completed a 5.66 km run – BEST.RUN.EVER!! http://rnkpr.com/ab9v9b #RunKeeper // YAY! Well done!
@Ezzles FANTASTIC! Oh man, that’s so awesome! I’ll DM you. 🙂
CRISIS AVERTED! THE BRAIN MOLD HAS BEEN FOUND! @Ezzles HAS SAVED HALLOWEEN! THANK YOU, GREAT PUMPKIN!
A slight misreading of my pattern meant that the Baby Hat I was knitting looked more like a Baby Yarmulke. Whoops. Frogged.
@lemon_lime I think I’m going to be a bit creaky tomorrow… It was the squats. My legs KILL.
@lemon_lime A cute bit of knitting lingo. It’s what you’re doing when you RIP IT, RIP IT… Get it? (I pulled it undone.)
RT @venks79 RT @bablisamani: LGBT youth need to know that #ItGetsBetter. Let’s show them that the future is hopeful: http://bit.ly/duI4WG
It’s a measure of how long I’ve been living in this bloody country that I actually consider a $10 Halloween pumpkin to be a “bargain.”
@lemon_lime Coles had them for $4/kilo. They also had tearaway instruction sheets for carving them, bless ’em.
@Ezzles Haha, I’ve actually got a foam one. I’m going to take it to work tomorrow with some decorations to amuse @lemon_lime and @kunaal84.
@carbolicious Hmmm. Tall? Will I be able to walk in em, I wonder?!
Decorating me and @thezedmiester’s desks for Halloween. Note the skeleton garland in the background! http://twitpic.com/30uwuj
@gilmae OH.MY.GOD. You are not thinking big enough. I have a pumpkin to carve at home. I COULD CARVE BIEBER ON MY PUMPKIN!
@gilmae @redambition Refining the concept: an iPod inside that plays Bieber music? Hahaha… It’s like @kunaal84’s ultimate nightmare!
There is nothing new under the sun. The Bieber-O-Lantern already exists, and it is a thing to behold. http://bit.ly/a2jn6U
I *hate* that I have to add “-sexy” to Google searches to find Halloween costume ideas that I might actually consider wearing.
@squozen Just that in terms of women’s costumes, it becomes the default. I’d rather be clever than slutty.
@gadgetgirl70 We’re not. Just celebrating at work this week. 🙂

I sent in my letter. Here’s the “personal text” part I put in the middle:
“My husband and I are married. We are not religious and we don’t belong to any church. We don’t plan on having any children. Why were we allowed to get married when other couples, who happen to be gay, are not? It’s just not fair. We believe all committed and loving couples should be able to have their marriages recognised in the same way by the state.”

FreeVote.org.au – I support a conscience vote on marriage equality. Do you?
Here’s the personal text I put in my email to the Prime Minister and Leader of the Opposition:

@stufromoz I’ve never seen any there. I’m trying to find any reference online, but they’re not shown on any maps…
A strange feeling is coming over me. I think I’m going to knit something.
@TitusAtticus No, but it *is* for someone in the office…
@ozgamer @TitusAtticus More like… someone about to be in the office. WHEN THEY’RE BORN. Silly. 😛
@carbolicious I’m a big fan of Cotton Fleece. Cotton with a little bit of wool for softness. Not fuzzy; great colors! http://bit.ly/ceqQIf
@TitusAtticus @ozgamer Oh FFS you guys are obtuse. KEVIN is having a baby. I am knitting a thing for his baby.
