    On an expedition to cupcake supply store in Camperdown. Wish @carbolicious was here!


    @AusVintageGrrl icedaffair.com.au – Church St in Camperdown. Very cool, and they teach classes!


    Trying on flynet hats for our Outback trip. http://twitpic.com/dxt8l


    @witty_knitter Fiona and I are coming…


    Dr. Amy explores the Kitty High-Rise @mrs_sockvictim gave us today! (Petey is still hiding. He dislikes change.) http://twitpic.com/dynsj


    Sitting in The Malaya at King St Wharf waiting for Eva’s Hens’ Night to begin…


    The restaurant has forbidden us from spreading penis-shaped confetti on the table. Shame.


    The guest of honor is here! Dodgy tiara and sash are in place…


    Blowing into my pornographic noisemaker… http://twitpic.com/dyy5w


    “What are you doing, you geek?” “I’m tweeting my penis.” (Bachelorette parties rule.)


    @DDsD LOVE Redoak. I like the Organic Pale Ale.


    The Bristol Arms Retro consists solely of Hens Parties and middle-aged guys liking to pull. I kinda love it.


    I haven’t danced on a platform in fake smoke for like 9 years. Man, so fun. But what is this CRAP that passes for music nowadays? #fb


    I REFUSE to dance to Lady Gaga. REFUSE. #fb


    Usher?? Retro?? I’m too old for this shite.


    Closed my eyes for 2 seconds to clear fake smoke. Bouncer threatened to boot me for being drunk. Think that’s my cue to leave.


    ZOMG. One night clubbing at 32 = deafness. On my way home now.


    Just realized earlier penis-tweet doesn’t make sense without picture. (It was Play-doh.) On the bus home now… http://twitpic.com/dz9md


    You’re all so right. One night = less than 2 hours? I’m a complete lightweight. (Alas, I am also still deaf.)


    @thisismywww I have no idea. We were on ground floor? Started off w/ 80s then changed to 00s crap. Wouldn’t mind going for just 80s/90s.


    I’m home from Hens Night before Snook is home from Bucks Night. This means HE WINS. #fb

    The theme of the night is cheese.


    @mrs_sockvictim SO. CUTE.


    Home alone while Snook works late again. MythTV broken. Again. No knitting mojo. Bored out of my skull. Sleep, alcohol, or both?


    @venks79 Why didn’t I think of that? Now there’s a party…



  • Geekversity on Today Tonight

    If any of you happened to catch Today Tonight last night (which I somehow doubt), the “making extra cash from home” segment heavily featured the Snook’s company.

    @knitabulous I’m at work! Run just didn’t sync up right away, so I had to re-send data from the bus on my way in… ๐Ÿ™‚


    Wooo! Got some GREAT feedback on a spec I wrote yesterday. Nice feeling.


    Huh. Just realised that #runkeeper GPS was slightly off today. Corrected points online. Ended up running bit farther than I thought.


    @crumpet There are Americans who agree with you. WTF indeed.


    Anyone know why Army helicopter is zooming over Sydney CBD?


    RT @imdominating: http://www.feministing.com/archives/017214.html <- Oh FFS. Now I want Snook to take MY name!


    For @imdominating and the other RPattz fans: http://bit.ly/iLsE4. Only available for Aussie mobiles though!


    @imdominating Check your email in a few minutes. ๐Ÿ™‚


    RT @venks79: This should explain the army helicopters over Sydney CBD (though the article is a few days old) http://bit.ly/JGwfU


    RT @Camee: Damn it people! Leggings do NOT qualify as pants! No one needs to see the exact outline of your lower body! <! SING IT, SISTER.


    Rodd: “re: surnames. Maybe we should switch :)” Me: “You mean I’D BE THE SNOOK??” Too weird!


    @misswired Considering that it took SEVEN YEARS for him to comment on my blog, don’t hold your breath.


    Not feeling like going to knitting tonight…


    @steven_noble Just booked for SMC. Perhaps we’ll finally get to meet, neighbour! ๐Ÿ™‚


    Feeling like I need to zone out a bit. Guitar Hero is in order, I think.


    Didn’t end up playing GH after all. Instead put my head down and finished bunch of work on Knitters Guild site. Pretty boring, really.


    It is a morning where everyone at the bus stop is wearing TOO MUCH PERFUME. I didn’t realize they even made Exclamation! anymore.


    @knitabulous HA! Not bloodly likely. Just allergies and a bit headachey.

    Planning a trip to Adelaide, Alice Springs, and Uluru in October with Snook and Eileen. We’re going to be sleeping in swags in the Outback!



  • Supersonic Mobile

    Supersonic Mobile – cool stuff for your Australian mobile! (Oh, and also something I worked on. Just launched a couple days ago.)


  • BW3s

    This article about craft beers on tap at Buffalo Wild Wings reminded me how in college we always used to call the one in South Bend “BW-3s”. That inspired me to do some googling, where I learned that it was originally called “Buffalo Wild Wings & Weck”. A-ha! Now it makes sense.


  • Blue Smoke Devilled Eggs

    Blue Smoke Devilled Eggs recipe. What got my attention is that they cut the eggs in half width-wise rather than length-wise, then cut a bit off each tip so they’ll stand up. Neat! Have to try that next time.
