Work, more work, and idling about online, while in our near neighbourhood the earth shakes and the ocean sucks civilians out to sea.

• A day of more-or-less recovery after lively work-break. Thank you to @saniac and @binkle for Saturday's entertainments. #


• The personal trainer on the Wii is talking to @knedd in an unnecessarily sexy voice. What happened to "computer says no"? #


• Fire drill, or, alternatively, fire. #


• 'Twas a drill, and brief, and while I was out I got an oo-err email about suggesting we address a matter orally #nottooshabby #


• The bridal party's first dress fitting is this Thursday, (@MeganWegan will be pleased to know). #


• I've signed up for #Brizzly. So far, so good, although I'm keeping #Twhirl open in the background for automatic updates. #


• Just mistyped "demographics" as "demongraphics". #drFreudandthedata #


• Ooh, #Brizzly appears to auto-update. #


• Gosh, the seconded life is not that different to the teaching life. Extended periods of preparation then contact periods of high intensity. #


• Why did you come Doug, if you didn't want to light a fire? #fotcwisdom #


• Damn but I hate the new breast cancer awareness ad. Driven out by mother's denial in the form of a giant tumour. #


• I feel sick about the destruction in Samoa. #


• Wednesday night is something like housework night, or the midpoint of the week in which I feel guilty about all the cooking @knedd does. #


• It's a hard life in the ovarian kingdom this month. I should be sitting on a throne of hot-water bottles sipping peppermint tea, but no. #


• As suggested by @saniac at the weekend, predictive text that knows common Mori and other NZild words would be very handy. 4th /= hui! #


• In the midst of assignment marking, submission writing & remuneration review, I am having a dress fitting today. Not feeling v bridal tho. #


• Today was the third hui in which I have played a small organisational part. My colleague told me I had a good ear for te reo. V chuffed. #


• Earlier, I felt like a ship being launched in my bridal ivory. Fortunately there are some other, differently-coloured layers to come. #


• I don't understand breakfast bars. When it comes to breakfast, I'm a low-rider. #


• RT @lara_w: Please help the Red Cross help our friends in Samoa http://bit.ly/14zHm0, our tweets are with them but practical help rules! #


• RT @Artandmylife: RT @CherylBernstein RT @ciccariello http://blip.fm/~dp1ja Happy 75th birthday to Leonard Cohen! #


• Today we went across the road to the ceremony venue to eat lunch, drink a beer and talk about where we would do the deed. #


• I have five more workbooks to mark, and when that's done, I'll have no more marking until February. #


• Millie and Evie have pollen allergies. I sniff, they itch and chew. We're this close to have some sort of allergenic road show. #


• Just watched Dirty Dancing with @knedd, who then directed me to this: http://bit.ly/26uXdL #


• "Bitch, Lipton knows tea!": http://wondermark.com/557/ #


• The sun is shining and the mowers are thundering. #


• While an anecdote is not data, our household also knows the glint in the eye prior to doing something naughty: http://bit.ly/3J6euI #


• Including the policy is all very well, but is it subject to review by H&S reps? http://bit.ly/itkeB #


• I don't suppose I should go to literary bookshops for books w pics of puppies. #


• Mick Harvey sings Serge Gainsbourg. http://blip.fm/~e99tb #


• Off to a joint-40th birthday party (or, as the hosts put it, 80th birthday party). #


• By the sounds of it, the weather here isn't as crummy as in Wellington or Dunedin, but it's still crummy, by Jove. #


• This network drive was supposed to solve all our data storage challenges. In many regards it has, but in others it is vexing indeed. #


• Across from me, @knedd is watching Tua fell Cameron. Not one of my favourite things, boxing. #
