[25 Jun 2009|12:03am] 09:33 It's my birthday. I'm not really in the mood though. # 09:43 @zomb1etron I'm wearing a skirt... # 09:44 @zomb1etron @kissability Thank you and thank you! # 09:52 @Knorts @rebism Thank you lovelies! # 10:06 @hopeinhell Thank you darling! # 10:22 @rosiefantail @somtum @Lorinimus Thank you, thank you, thank you! # 10:34 @carnagefairy Most expensive Dali tix are $23 (for the day).

[24 Jun 2009|12:03am] 09:25 @bhakthi The Sopranos used to make me fat. I'd get about 15 minutes in and be compelled to cook pasta. # 09:26 @amoir /gives cuddles # 09:26 @vaguelyspecific Is this a Brunswickistani co-op? # 09:29 @thirdhandworks My CRM challenge as a freelance writer is having multiple ideas that might be good for multiple pubs so where to file? # 09:29 @thirdhandworks If that makes sense. # 09:39 @GeePawHill The task that had me stumped yesterday was writing a summary of an academic article about perioperative mgmt of antithrombotic.. # 09:40 @GeePawHill ...therapy. I have no scientific quals whatsoever. But I got it done and have been told I'm 'in the ball park'. Suspense over! # 09:59 @GeePawHill I have a day job at a publisher of academic journals. # 10:26 @GeePawHill Yeah, I love it. Haven't been here long though, still learning the ropes. # 11:18 Is it wrong that I book flights based on which in-flight magazine I want? # 11:32 @mag_nation No! Of course not! # 12:50 .@astruc Tentacle couch!! bit.ly/lHrU # 12:55 I think I'd feel seasick in a steampunk office: tiny.cc/Fpiat # 13:08 @rosiefantail The accused is so fluffeh. # 17:03 @snarkattack "Johnny Depp unrecognisable as the Mad Hatter"?

[23 Jun 2009|12:03am] 10:35 Work biscuit tins now come with mini-tongs and a sign saying, 'Please use tongs provided when selecting biscuits.' Uh, okay. # 10:36 Maybe I should lick the tongs. # 10:37 Feeling slightly queasy today, which makes it difficult to cope with looking up surgical terms in my medical dictionary. # 10:37 @zomb1etron It's like you get tattooed every day. Wait, do you? # 10:38 If a thrombus is a blood clot, and an embolus is a blood clot, what the hell is a thromboembolus? # 10:48 @crazybrave @downesy Thanks for that! I thought it was movement related but I was wondering what cld possibly be in there other than blood. # 10:49 I'd just like to say, go Twitionary! Fast and accurate #thromboembolus # 10:51 Fresh frozen plasma! # 10:55 @Colblinder Wind, brass, string or percussion? # 10:59 @downesy Hehehehe! You win at puns. # 11:03 @Colblinder I was thinking string but yeah, I think I agree with brass. # 11:29 @nicole_sparkle I was about to suggest that you lick the soap but I realised that would be both pointless and unpleasant. # 11:45 @nicole_sparkle Things that smell like food but aren't food bother me too. # 12:43 Stumped. # 14:19 Evidently Dimmeys in Richmond is no longer closing down. # 14:42 Still stumped. # 14:53 @GeePawHill A task. Boring answer, huh. # 15:34 RT: @DooneyStudio: I hate revisiting places that I left. The ghost of who I was once creeps in, and I have to exorcise it all over again. # 15:46 Getting unstumped. Slowly. # 16:05 RT: @gapingvoid: @DooneyStudio "Drawing Without Expectations" is REALLY hard for some people. # 17:01 @snarkattack What are the books? # Automatically shipped by LoudTwitter post comment

[19 Jun 2009|12:05am] 09:16 @chrisguillebeau Sounds like the story of my life too... # 10:05 RT: @verbaliciously: Absolutely hilarious! Gizmodo's Snuggie v. Slanket v. Freedom Blanket v. Blankoat tinyurl.com/mvhn7u # 10:25 @verbaliciously I still want a lazypatch, personally. www.lazypatch.com # 12:34 @lisadempster Wrap all of the items on Emily's desk in cling film! # 14:36 @eglantinescake Oh no... I've been reading your comments all day and that's not what I wanted to hear. # 14:37 Hehe RT: @nicole_sparkle: This bra reminds me of a teenage boy, in that it doesn't seem entirely sure where my boobs actually are. # 14:38 For possibly the first time since childhood, I have grazed my knee without remembering how I did it. # 14:44 @SylviaDiscount Good grief, where on earth do you work that it has a suit of armor for sale? # 15:46 @bortflancrest @middleclassgirl I happen to have a medical dictionary in front of me - plural of cervix is indeed cervices, or cervixes. # 15:46 @middleclassgirl @bortflancrest The plural of scrotum is not listed! Why the hell not? # 15:47 Oh yuck, I just saw a picture of scurvy! Gross. No wonder pirates are so cranky. # 15:48 @lisadempster That's about the time I started reading VW, methinks. # 15:55 @qldwriters Nope, just noticing something about my knee. Carry on! # 15:55 @bortflancrest @middleclassgirl Wiktionary tells me both 'scrota' and 'scrotums' are acceptable plurals. # 15:56 @bortflancrest @middleclassgirl Of course, we haven't addressed the topic of collective nouns. # 16:05 @Bosun_McShiny A flock of scrota? # 16:06 @BillHarper It wasn't a root canal, was it? # 16:09 @middleclassgirl Oh yeah... # 16:14 @BillHarper What the hell is root planing?

[18 Jun 2009|12:03am] 09:24 @hopeinhell I kind of admire her, bitchcow or no. I'd love to get about in pjs. # 09:24 @amoir Getting dressed is for the weak. # 09:29 @JSFW Yep, if they're carrying babies, those ants are moving in. They like the undersides of shelves, in my exp. Kill them. Kill them all. # 09:33 @hopeinhell What kind of jammies are we talking about here? Mine are Peter Alexander, very stylish AND they have pockets. For my metcard! # 09:40 @hopeinhell Good grief! No shame. # 11:32 @bitebybite Oh no! Did they give you any feedback? # 13:56 Yay! There's finally a new post on Tiny Art Director: bit.ly/17rwUa # 14:55 I'm trying to write a short summary of a 12-page paper on mortality rates after bariatric surgery. I have no idea what I'm doing, people. # 14:56 @caferosamond That sounds freaking delicious. # 15:06 @caferosamond *drool* # 15:07 @krissyb The worst part is the statistics. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY SAY. Charts and tables and figures, oh my! # 15:09 I think I'm starting to like Microsoft Word 2007. This is worse than when I finally conceded that *some* children were *kind of* cute. # 15:18 @OverlandJournal It's sucking me in! It has all these buttons to click on! Click click click! I can do all sorts of useless things! # 15:52 @krissyb I'm not putting it in lay terms. I'm summarising it for surgeons. I have to think like a surgeon without being a surgeon. o_o # 16:26 RT: @AmalieF: Post-it stop motion movie (via Crikey) bit.ly/2MYvya # 16:30 If the surgery journal ever does a special on kidney stones, I reckon we should call it 'This Too Shall Pass'. # Automatically shipped by LoudTwitter post comment

[17 Jun 2009|12:06am] 09:53 Yesterday my computer was reformatted for the 1st time since I got it in 2004. It didn't hurt a bit and it's like having a whole new puter! # 11:37 Just got so involved in creating an elaborate tag system for my work inbox that I forgot to have morning tea. Crazy, I know. # 12:09 Had a couple of Jatz biscuits. Now all I ever want to eat for all eternity is Jatz biscuits. What the hell do they put in them? Cocaine? # 12:15 @Bosun_McShiny Hmm, they weren't labelled, they were in the work biscuit tin, so maybe they were actually Ritz. Will have to investigate. # 12:20 @definatalie Sounds like someone needs a napski. There's no point trying to do stuff when you feel crap. Have a rest. # 12:22 @Bosun_McShiny Why would anyone do that when the tin is clearly labelled 'savoury'? Which leads me to wonder: is cocaine sweet or savoury? # 12:35 @history_geek I can tell when my partner is tired because his hair sticks up. # 12:37 @ephant Doom... doom... doom... # 12:37 @Bosun_McShiny Good point. # 12:40 @krissyb Sure it will! # 12:41 @definatalie As they say over at the Renegade Writer blog, you can *die* from exposure. # 14:16 Total marshmallow fail. # 14:22 @Bosun_McShiny It was a fail because there are none, despite specifically asking for them with a hot choc that is meant to have them anyway. # 14:26 I want to take my shoes off. Can I? Hey, of course I can. The only rule in this place is 'Don't wear jeans *every* day'. # 14:33 @Bosun_McShiny I doubt they'll let you take photos, but I always heartily recommend a visit to wunderkammer.com.au/ in Lonsdale St. # 14:37 @zomb1etron Groovy! Have you been tossing random objects through the rift just to see what happens? # 14:40 @Bosun_McShiny And you may just come home with a human skeleton! Be warned it's at the arse end of town. Also half underground so look down. # 14:49 @Bosun_McShiny It's in the CBD, but it's at the end populated mainly by offices and law courts. But it's not terribly far from the good bits # 14:55 @astruc Did you talk about your squid fetish? # 15:12 @Bosun_McShiny Some of them are quite nice. Depends what you're into, I suppose. There are numerous grand-ish buildings in that area. # 15:13 @astruc I hate it when that happens. I'm sure you'll be fine but. You're a job-getting maestro from way back. # 15:14 @Bosun_McShiny What do you normally like photographing? # 21:18 I've eaten half a quiche. I could probably eat the whole thing without breaking a sweat. # Automatically shipped by LoudTwitter post comment

[13 Jun 2009|12:04am] 12:24 @snarkattack I did that to the tiger at the zoo once. It was awesome. # 12:42 @snarkattack Everyone was standing around wishing the tiger would come over so I went, 'Here, puss puss puss!' and he ran over to us! Idiot. # Automatically shipped by LoudTwitter post comment

Rubikcubist art! bit.ly/tZxR5 # 12:05 @deedwithoutname Tracing or baking paper sounds fine to me, as long as it's wide enough for the task.

[11 Jun 2009|12:03am] 09:08 I spose I should start learning how to knit warm woolly hats right about now. # 09:11 @kissability @snarkattack I wish I was still in my jimberjams. Not least because they're much more stylish than my 'civilian' clothes. # 09:12 @snarkattack @kissability Also, what's your opinion of this: www.lazypatch.com # 09:18 @ephant That is quite disturbing. No other options? What if you hold a copy of Moby Dick? # 09:32 @mag_nation How does one win a trip to Paris? # 10:19 @middleclassgirl Sounds like a performace art piece. You could call it Refluxus. @yokoono would be all over it like a hot flannel. # 10:37 @middleclassgirl Go on... # 10:55 @MsCharlie I steal your toast. # 11:14 @Gelfand My cat is afraid of toothpaste. # 13:38 @definatalie Oh my god, you have destroyed any chance of me working this afternoon. Ickle! Lardee! !!! # 13:53 Everyone! Look at this! Cutest thing evar! mymilktoof.blogspot.com/ Via @definatalie # 13:53 @havi I'm intrigued. I think. # 15:53 My brain produces reams of useless twaddle. For instance: 'My Name Is Earl Grey's Anatomy'. No context. Just blarts it out. # 15:53 In other news, all the choc wheatons were stuck together so I was *forced* to eat two. # 16:37 Ha! I'm not the only one who wants a Lazypatch! My new coworker wants one too! # 16:38 @BillHarper A b...ook? What is? ;) # 16:47 @BillHarper Hey yeah, there is one of those things propping up the table! It's called 'Dianetics' - know if it's any good? # 16:52 Speaking of Dianetics, a friend of mine once used a copy as rat repellent. He propped it up next to the rat hole and they never returned. # 17:00 I have to be at work at 8am tomorrow. Just worked out that means I'll have to leave home in the dark.

[09 Jun 2009|12:03am] 12:00 Does anyone else have absolutely NO IDEA what to do with their arms when sleeping? How can I be 27yo and still not know where to put them? # 12:02 @kissability Yeah, with someone else. I'm getting sore arms from putting them up over my head. # 12:20 @amoir Sugar. Definitely. # 12:22 @lisadempster My jammies *do* have pockets... # 13:30 Today's mantra: Make something. Make something. Make something. # 15:10 That thing is happening where the computer makes me forget to eat. Or do anything constructive whatsoever. # 15:24 @Acerebel Glad I'm not the only one with the condition. We could start a support group. # 15:28 Nothing a mushroom omelette sandwich can't fix. Should I have two? Or move on to the baklava in the fridge? # 17:38 @chrissiexm Depends on whether you view escalators as an aid to, or a replacement for, walking. I agree with you - replacement. # Automatically shipped by LoudTwitter 1 comment|post comment

[06 Jun 2009|12:03am] 09:19 There's a piece of graffiti near my office that says, "LIKE A SHITTY; EASTER SUIT, CRUSHED INTO THESE BIG FEET". What does it meeeeeeeeeean? # 10:11 @leoniestar How do you crush something *into* feet? And what's with the random punctuation? So many questions! # 11:32 Joke heard on RRR this morning: A woman walks into a bar and orders a double entendre, so the bartender gives her one. # 12:11 @BillHarper I like the second one better. # 14:09 @lisadempster Waddaya writing? what is it what is it what is it? # Automatically shipped by LoudTwitter post comment

Spam, spam, spam, spam. Spam, spam, spam, spam. # 12:34 @Bosun_McShiny Ooh. That's a good one. Requires planning in advance but can be done in the coming weeks. # 13:44 @matthewjbevis I must admit I'm stunned. # 13:48 @Bosun_McShiny You're a genius. # 15:02 @vaguelyspecific Yum! # 15:15 @vaguelyspecific It sounds fun! Kinda. # 15:39 @ephant Jury duty? How excitement! # 15:40 @vaguelyspecific A vodka hangover would kill you on a camping trip. If the serial killers in the woods don't git you first. # 15:45 I must really bring the ruckus to all you muthatruckas sometime. # 15:46 @vaguelyspecific Have you seen Dead Snow? Pretty good head-on-a-stick scene in that. I haven't actually seen Blair Witch, how lame of me. # 15:48 Faecal incontinence? Um, ew. Thanks ANZ Journal of Surgery archives. # 15:49 @vaguelyspecific Oh dear. Well, at least he won't do the thing I mentioned in my last tweet. hopefully. # 15:50 Twinings Green Tea + Mint variety = plant water plus chewing gum flavour. Not recommeded. #teareviews # 15:51 Recommeded? What the hell does that mean? # 15:52 Lawn mower injuries in children! Argh! #funwithsurgeryarticles # 15:59 @BillHarper What's that from? Want to hear about the scrotal hernia piece from earlier in the week? # 16:14 @BillHarper "Interesting". # 20:33 The opening titles for Mad Men are veeeeery similar to the opening titles for Hustle. # 20:36 @JohnnyBTruant What are you allowed to say? Motivational things like, 'Go you big red fire engine!'? # 21:27 @matthewjbevis Well, similar in that there's a silhouette man in a suit and the music is all smooth. Both excellent shows. # Automatically shipped by LoudTwitter post comment

Just thought I'd offer! # 14:00 @matthewjbevis I'm pretty good. I have a new job. On the flip side, my partner has no job. Swings and roundabouts. # 16:22 @DooneyStudio My parents listened to Sky when I was a kid. My favourite album cover was Sky Five Live.

That's crazy, if you'll excuse the pun. # 10:40 @davidsornig How so? # 10:41 @davidsornig Oh, with the whole medical angle. Yes. # 10:41 @davidsornig And with that, the next article I lay eyes upon is called 'What's new in wound healing?'. # 10:42 @davidsornig Except it's from 1986 so it's hardly new anymore. # 11:25 @davidsornig Ah, stories - remind me to tell you about the time my cat came back from the dead. Too long for Twitter I'm afraid. # 11:28 Strapping of curly toes in children. Interesting. # 11:29 @matthewjbevis Hooray!

[02 Jun 2009|12:03am] 09:39 Morning! # 10:01 I don't know what to do today. Read this book, read that book, check surgery journal links and entertain you with revolting article titles? # 10:08 Awesome surgery article title: Alcohol on wheels. # 10:11 @Bosun_McShiny My all-time favourite is 'Landscapes and legends of the anal canal'. # 10:15 Wow, apparently you can make pickles glow in the dark using a lamp and some nails: tinyurl.com/m5s5db Thanks for that, @JohnnyBTruant # 10:27 @BillHarper I've been blocking them. But I haven't had even 1 Britney sex tape follower. When I complained I was followed by Nikki Webster. # 10:29 Oh my, it's biscuit o'clock, but @lisetteogg made me pig out on scorched almonds on the tram. I'm not hungry for once. # 11:07 @MsCharlie Perhaps more force is needed! Is it still there? Have you tried using vinegar and baking soda? # 11:07 @adamgresty We really need an opt-out system for the phone book. # 11:10 I have no idea what this could mean: THE ULNAR FOREARM FREE FLAP IN PENILE RECONSTRUCTION #funwithsurgeryarticles # 11:25 @adamgresty Ah, of course! # 16:04 @middleclassgirl Are you crafty, Ms Sequins? I'm in desparate search of neon/fluoro green knitting yarn and can't find anything ANYWHERE. # 16:04 My arm scar looks like a big angry boil today. I wonder if that's normal. # 16:39 @lisadempster It looks even more like a burn/blister today. (I *have* been poking it a bit, prolly made it angry.) Think I should b worried? # 16:59 @DooneyStudio Maybe the trending topics are all about entertainment because people don't want to think about the crisis? # Automatically shipped by LoudTwitter post comment
