Toto’s “Africa” as you have never heard it before. That made me smile and feel happy to be alive. The storm, the beat-boxing, the chorus, the smiling guy in the yellow cravat, the lady doing the solo at the end… Seriously, go watch it. It’s great! (The group is a Slovenian jazz choir.)
Went to Eveleigh Artisans Market. Wasn’t terribly impressed; a lot was just posh frippery. Couple knitting stalls, but no wool.

“Yes, I am well aware this is clean laundry. Why do you ask?” http://yfrog.com/58dx1hj
Stuffed. Oh yes, there were baked beans. And roast veggies. And my Mom’s special scalloped chicken. We’re going to be eating the leftovers for the next week…
The sudden appearance of Yellow Face is freaking me out a little bit. Going to go for a run and soak it up while it lasts…

Ha! Slight #runkeeper GPS fail there. Actually only 6.55km run. Starting point was off. Still, I felt pretty good out there!
Thanks @runkeeper, I did! The editing ability is so great. Just didn’t want folks to think I was so fast. 🙂
They told me it was thick, but I was still surprised. Bring on #infsum! http://yfrog.com/751atj
At SSK in Newtown. Usual crowd is here. Lovely day for knitting and Chai latte…
@redambition No worries, done! About 10 people there in the end. You were missed! And mrs_sockvictim too.
@sharre Poutine?? I’ve wanted to try that forever. Even emailed dairies trying to find cheese curd! Where do you get it from?
Dinner: Welsh rarebit with fresh sourdough and beautiful leeks from the veggie box. Dessert: vanilla creamed rice with rhubarb & apple.

Infinite Summer
I picked up my copy of Infinite Jest today, so I’m officially in for Infinite Summer. There’s even a Ravelry discussion group. This is going to be fun! (But man, it’s even thicker than I expected…)
Holy crap! According to this AskMeFi question, my severe nearsightedness means that I actually have super-powered vision up close. I had no idea. I can’t read most text until it’s within 6 inches of my nose, but evidently once stuff moves into my focus, I am SEEIN’ THE HECK OUT OF IT. Suck on that, normal-eyed people!
Artisan home canning and preserving. Oh, neat! Apparently canning supply sales are up 50% this year. Another food technique to get obsessed with. I am such a freakin’ hipster sometimes.

Just sent company-wide email asking if anybody wants to run City2Surf as a team. Co-workers seem quietly horrified.
@redambition Running the whole thing is highly overrated!
Thinking that the best way to start a long weekend is to go to bed extremely early and sleep off the entire week. Ohhhh, yeah.
@coach_chris I got maybe four positives (inc. @venks79) out of like 40 people. Disappointing! And they’re all seemingly fit 20-somethings.
Am now obsessed with idea of artisan home canning. My hipster tendencies are showing themselves… http://bit.ly/ie9HG

Congrats and to many more 🙌🏽
