They killed my herbs; they knocked down my sign; and today some bastards stole my whole effing tree. LIVID WITH RAGE. http://bit.ly/M0w5G
Anti-social tree-stealing degenerates… Went to tell Michael, local sustainability guy. His response: “Fuck ’em. We’ll plant another.”
@bellsg Seems to be up now!
Oh man. England are gonna win.
@Ascasewwen @Camee Especially public gardens. It’s not like they stole from me; they ruined it for the whole neighbourhood. 🙁
Just completed a 5.69 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/DCJcg #runkeeper

RunningBlog
I’m slowly working back into it. I managed three short runs last week, and the good news is that my shins feel great. The bad news is that this chesty cough still isn’t budging. I’m going to the doctor for my allergy shot tomorrow night, and I’ll take the opportunity to see if he thinks this bronchitis is worth some antibiotics.
This week: 12.5km (7.8mi)
Bay Run (7km) in two weeks, and then the City2Surf (14km) the following week!

THEY STOLE MY TREE.
THEY STOLE MY TREE.
My beautiful little macadamia tree lasted six months. I went to check on it tonight only to discover that SOME BASTARD STOLE IT in the past 24 hours. Yep. They dug it right up out of its hole in the footpath. I WAS LIVID. I went down to see Michael on the off-chance he maybe transplanted it somewhere else, but he didn’t. He had some choice expletives for the kind of people who steal trees. He told me not to give up, that he had more trees with stakes and mesh. We’re gonna replant, and they’re not gonna steal the new one. I know he’s right, but man, I really just want to give up. Sometimes the rest of humanity just sucks, you know? And they don’t deserve my trees.

The Know-It-All
I logged in to Facebook before bed last night to see that I had a message in my Inbox. It was from an author called AJ Jacobs, who was trying to track down an obscure short story that he suspected might be by Roald Dahl. I wrote back to confirm that it wasn’t… and then this morning realized that I’ve actually read one of AJ’s books! He wrote The Know-It-All, which I read on vacation in 2007. I felt inspired to help him track down the real story, so I asked MetaFilter this morning and it was cracked within an hour. Fun, huh? So if AJ uses it in a book, you all will know that I helped!

Metafilter 10th Birthday
This weekend was MetaFilter‘s 10th birthday, and there were 67 celebrations on 7 different continents (including Antarctica!) to celebrate. I dragged the Snook along to the Sydney meet-up. It was an absolutely beautiful warm afternoon, and we took advantage up on the roof of the Glenmore Hotel. I was taking photos and tweeting throughout the afternoon. I think we had ten people in total, and we made full use of mathowie’s bar tab. Thanks to everybody who turned up, and many happy returns to MeFi!I’m happy to report that I scored 74% on the official MetaFilter Anniversary Quiz.

Vintage Lego Ad
I love, love, LOVE this vintage 1981 Lego ad. I love everything about it. If I ever had a little girl, I’d want her to be just like this.
