A Man’s Guide to Sweaters. Excellent. I wish the Snook would wear turtlenecks, cardigans, and sweater vests. I’d have him looking like Steve McQueen in no time.
A light week this week, as I got in two cross-training sessions (yoga and Spudds). I should’ve done another run today, but I just didn’t feel like it. I’ll make up the slack on this coming long weekend. 🙂
Sept. 26: 8.16km run
Sept. 28: 5.58km run
Total this week: 13.74km (8.5mi)
Total in 2010: 732.97km (458mi)
We’re 3/4 of the way through the year! To meet my goal of running 1000km in 2010, I should be at 750km right now. So I’m a little behind…
How to Use the Rind of Parmesan. We have about a dozen of those in a baggie in our fridge.
This New York Magazine profile of Roald Dahl is really weird! It’s got a lot of information about him that I’d NEVER heard before in all my research. He was descended from William Wallace? He had all his teeth pulled out? His last words were “Ow, f*ck!”? I wonder if it’s all from that new biography. I need to get it.
Holy crap. Angry Birds just updated, and it’s got Game Center support. IT’S ON.
But will Facebook Places award me badges for running like @runkeeper does? I think not. I’ll stick with @foursquare for now.
@rhagern Are on you Game Center?! I don’t think I have you friended. Add “webgoddess” 🙂
@ozgamer What are you doing there? That’s where my friends sockvictim and @mrs_sockvictim work!
RT @kunaal84: OMG! Terry Pratchett is coming to Sydney! … www.ausdwcon.org . // Paging @redambition & other Pratchett fans! (like Snook)
@redambition Ha, I must have missed it! Are you telling the costume or is it a surprise?
@squozen I use mSecure. Mac + iPhone is about $20, I think. http://bit.ly/c29pE2
@squozen I just use the iPhone version; didn’t bother with Mac. It can email encrypted backups. Saved my ass last weekend. 🙁
@redambition @kunaal84 Rodd is asking me if it’s okay if he goes as Cohen the Barbarian. Opinions? (I am not a Pratchett geek.)
@Kat13v So wait. I have to PAY $150 so he can walk around in a loincloth? No way.
@titus_atticus I sent @thezedmiester links to your WoW Armoury pages. You’ll never live it down.
CALL OFF THE BOYCOTT! I am happy to report that the manager at the Chinese grocery refunded my $10 this morning. That was nice.
George Lucas, you are officially dead to me.
Runners Round Table episode 100 isn’t live on the blog yet, but you can go to the Talkshoe page to hear me and JayDub talk about our Sydney WWFoR event!
@titus_atticus I’m annoyed with them. The branding and all is great, but really, it’s just pizza. They make it seem like it should be more.
@titus_atticus It’s mostly hipster wank, is what I’m saying.
@titus_atticus You think? I’ve had better. There’s a place in Darlo that does certified Neopolitan-style.
Just because I might be depressed doesn’t mean shit doesn’t objectively suck. So frustrated. I’m going to bed.
@witty_knitter Just wrestling with technology for 16 hours a day when none of it does what it’s supposed to do is really draining. 🙁
Being interviewed on the Runners Round Table podcast with @JayDubRunning RIGHT NOW!
@kunaal84 VOIP. Man, VOIP sucks.
@drkknits I haven’t looked yet, but I’m usually underwhelmed by the new Knitty.
It’s amazing what a coffee at 6am can do to your outlook. And having the Britney episode of Glee to look forward to tonight. 🙂
@kunaal84 Well, one anyway. 🙂
@AusVintageGrrl Huh. I still haven’t even checked. I am stubbornly loyal to Tweetdeck.
Got my $10 refunded this morning at the Chinese grocery. Yes! Kris: 2; Universe: 0 so far today. 🙂
Just saw ad for “Dr Zhivago – A New Musical.” Immediately thought of “Oh, Streetcar!” from The Simpsons. Heh.
WAIT. Glee was last night? And I missed it due to my rage blackout over a mis-purchased calling card? GAH. Thank heavens for MythTV.

Woot, my knee-jerk don’t-overthink-it pub-quiz answer was Iran which seems to be [✓]. I ‘knew’ it was more populous than…
Congrats and to many more 🙌🏽
My home economics teacher taught us to use “J cloths” as press cloths. (Cellulose cleaning cloths). The upside of using…
