    Wicked sinus headache and pulled muscle in my neck. Paracetamol not budging it. Haven’t left the couch all day. 🙁


    I really like not being an AK mod anymore. Thanks to @Lauren_lolly_ and others for taking on the burden! 🙂


    Self: This is your last day of jetlag and illness. Look at that sun! It’s time to come back to life.

    I can’t believe there was a Star Wars scene I’d never seen. Anomaly corrected!

    @drkknits Hahaha… Thanks! 🙂


    Great meeting! Knitting rockstar Liz Gemmell w/ rapt audience: http://twitpic.com/2ei166. She’s a force of nature! http://twitpic.com/2ei1d3


    @drkknits Oh no. I KNEW I shouldn’t have mentioned it. Seriously, I need you guys to talk me OUT OF IT. Me = stress glutton.


    @drkknits Don’t feed the ego! ARGH! Now you’re tempting me. Seriously. Do not need. Bad Dr K! Bad!


    @drkknits I know of one person who’s thinking of putting her hand up…



  • Pizza

    Our oven is still waiting to be repaired, but I’m already thinking of ways we can hack it to make great pizza


  • Trash

    Happiness Tip: Throw away other people’s trash. I sometimes do this. It only makes me feel happy if the litterer isn’t around though. Otherwise if I see them do it, then my throwing it away usually precedes a blinding rage.

    @squozen My camera app works! But yeah, it’s not a huge leap ahead. Screen is nice, and Facetime would be sweet if I needed it…


    I hope all you leggings-wearers are happy. I just saw a girl in stirrup pants. STIRRUP PANTS! The Apocalypse is upon us.


    @anatyt The ones with elastic at the bottom that goes under the foot. One of the worst fashion offenses of the 80s.


    You guys. Seriously. “Hey Jealousy” was a really good song.


    @redambition Yes. Definitely still is.


    Scott Pilgrim! Woooo! (@ Event Cinemas George Street w/ 3 others) http://4sq.com/8CzdWS


    Scott Pilgrim was precisely as awesome and epic as I’d hoped. Now I want to dye my hair green.


    Any last minute apologies for today’s Guild meeting? Let me know…


    Wish I could skip the meeting. I feel like crap too! But the show must go on. #knittingmartyr #whaaaambulance

    @SallyPompom Nice! Let me know when you want a lesson on the website. I’ll show you how you can post stuff directly yourself. 🙂


    @drkknits Did you get your postcard? Kunaal said he got his last night, so you should get it soon!


    @sharre 11-7 IS rough. Worst ever. My sympathies…


    @henrytapia Welcome home!


    So tired. Snook and I going to bed at 8pm. @kunaal84 says 1 day of jet lag per hour shifted. Is that right??


    Oven repairman is here. Everybody send positive vibes that he’ll deem it a warranty repair!


    Dear Bus Dude: Any remorse I would feel for coughing on you is removed by your refusal to close your legs and give me more than 20% of seat.


    Teaching @zedsains how to use her iPhone. We have achieved genuine Childlike Wonder (TM) folks!


    @atomic_anu @mpesce Heh. Only if he was on the 461 to the city at 8:45… 🙂



  • RunningBlog: Weeks 31-32

    I always knew that the last week of the trip would be hard to get in my runs. We were travelling by ourselves in Wisconsin, and we were doing a lot of sightseeing on our feet. (We spent nearly five hours walking through the House on the Rock, for instance, so there was no way I could run after that.) I did get in a 4-miler on the treadmill at our hotel though. Then we basically lost two full days in transit back to Sydney, and then another two to jet lag. Finally managed a decent run (in the freezing rain) on Tuesday, only to come down with a cold later that same day. I’m hangin’ on. My only consolation is that last week was a scheduled cut-back week anyway, so I haven’t wrecked my training plan too badly. I just need to get back out there as soon as I can.

    Aug. 1: 10.05km
    Aug. 4: 6.4km
    Aug. 10: 7.13km
    Total for these two weeks: 23.58km (14.73mi)
    Total in 2010: 590.32km (368.95mi)

    My tally for 2010 has taken a beating though. I’m now 25km behind where I need to be to meet my goal of running 1000km in the calendar year. Eeek!
