I bought myself a market trolley today. Why did I not arrange this years ago?
-
A nanna trolly thing? I've had one for years and it has been brilliant. Almost essential purchase for inner-city apartment living.
It doubles as a normal trolly for boxes and other large things (but not anything crazy heavy) by taking the bag off.
-
Heck I’ve used one and an octopus strap to do a Vet run when the car wad broken.
-
nanna trolley? having a trolley is like a badge of honour for inner city living

Have had breakfast yet because I am being held down by my cat…..

Please blink if you have no arms free. May send drone with spoon

Some bad shit going down in Bondi Junction. Hate to see that sort of news. At least it seems to be resolving with shoppers being allowed to leave after the centre locked down.
-
Current updates are that the offender has been shot and killed by police, 7 people including a baby were stabbed, but the condition of the victims hasn't been released
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-04-13/westfield-bondi-junction-evacuated-after-alleged-stabbing/103705022 (live updates)
Edit: 5 people have been killed
-
Hate to profile, but the bloke looks like some dero shit cunt (I’m allowed the say that, cunt stabbed a baby the therefore that’s what he is). Anyone wanna put money on he was known to police?!
We have GOT to do something about mental health in this country. And we’ve gotta stop letting personal freedoms trump your risk to the greater public.

That sounds awful :(

Today is an incredibly packed Saturday of chores. So many clothes and so much cooking. One item is a hand pounded chilli sambal that is gonna make my weak and flabby arm fall off (not possible to get the shallots right without pounding - mums recipe and I promised I'd make it for a family lunch tomoz). I'm en route to an event I signed up for months ago that I don't feel ready for but am going to anyway because I gotta live a little too... and I still have car and job things to sort out. Alright, I can do this, I can do this...
Meanwhile, local incoherent screamy guy has taken to high st today. I am surprised the bougie locals haven't agitated to have him moved to different housing yet. Unless he has, but he's decided to come visit.
Last week there was a different dude up the street yelling at "fucking Belinda you fucking lying cunt". I suppose that's why the owners haven't upped my rent this year... that side of things is mostly quite manageable in the cool weather with the windows closed though.

Memory I did not need: 60+ teenage women simultaneously deploying Incense deodorant after PE
-
-
We did have showers, but no doors so nobody used them. Gosh.
-
-
Public transport is a sensory nightmare also
-
Yeah. I’m short enough to end up in people’s armpits.
-
-
The smell of Reef Tan and any kind of Impulse body spray for me
-
ooh impulse, there's a memory
-

I love my in-laws, I do, but every time they vist I’m reminded how awful tv is. Why are we watching the morning show and teleshopping shit?
-
Tvsn is the funniest shit on tv. Trying to convince the 3 people watching that they need to be quick to purchase the most ugliest jewellery for a half an hour live on tv is comical.
-
-
Digging away at Operation Sort Shit after it being suspended due to the lurgie. Finally starting to think I may just get it done.
Anyway entrance to Mum's old room cleared and photos of Nana's old wardrobe and china taken and sent to the second hand place. Now having a breather and a coffee before I start again. -
I have decided I am going on a holiday at home. Imma just gonna read books and do minimum around the house. There are a dozen antique travel books I haven't read yet, aka a Baedeker holiday as my Belgian neighbour used to say. The science and stuff books can wait.
Will have even more frozen food than usual. Might even get a cleaner in.
-
today my non chic older women's outfit is a black skirt with a peasant print, from dangerfield, a black knit top and a marle vintage knitted jacket with embroidered leaves ( that might be a little small )
i still have longish black hair
-
You are totally Morticia in my head. This description only reinforces that image.

wife is away for the weekend, so I am home alone. It's by choice - I need to catch up on some work, needed some quiet time etc, but am feeling a little melancholy. Went for a long walk in this morning's beautiful weather. Now feeling a little lost.
Nothing at all serious - I am perfectly fine, just... having a moment.
-
Order pizza, get drunk, jerk off. This is the way.
-
well, my equivalent is probably a long bath with a book and a cup of tea, but yes, I understand the principle
-
-
-
I might need to severely cut down on or leave this other online group due to toxicity. I don't want to have to. :(
-
there is nothing wrong with leaving an online group to find one where you'll be happier , you haven't failed
I'm on a few different groups that are based on tv or books and they are just fun and kind, find some like that. 🤞😘

Quiet night with brie, bbq shapes and lap full of cats due to said brie
-
Thinking about heading to a park bass music rave (think DnB etc.) tonight but it's a 3-4hr round trip commute by PT (bus.. so no guarantees there) with 40mins of that walking hrmm... on the fence but they're always good times..
For reference it takes me 3hrs on PT to get to queenscliff on 3 connecting services which is 120km away. This thing is 10km away (kew to bulleen) and 2 services... crazy.
-
Maybe you should come over to my hood then lol. There's some sort of event happening at the park. They've been blasting doof doof since 4 o'clock, complete with lights and all the works. No clue what they're playing all I can hear is UNTZUNTZUNTZ which occasionally stops for somebody to yell and then everybody screams
-
Where do you find out about these events?
-
It's basically all fb.
But park parties are a bit rare these days.
-
-
-
done my weekend morning shopping so i can comfortably watch half an hour of bluey tmr
-
This is the way.
-
-
I made a dating profile on Boo. My expectations are at the Mariana trench level.

-
it's been privatised so it's better 👍

lovely morning here and the start of a bit of a dry spell.
-
I started watching Fallout on Amazon.
It looks amazing, has one of my fave actors and he is gooood in this, Walter Goggins, the depiction of the war is very frightening, the heightened cold war under Reagan used to give me nightmares, this is also nightmare material. I might finish watching later. 😧 I just woke up from a nightmare about Iran. It's not looking good out there.
A walk, may as well go for a walk and breath in some eucalyptus laden air.
-
I have never seen a movie or TV show based on a video game that I liked, although the original Tomb Raider was fairly decent (and who doesn’t like looking at Angelina?)
Goggins is terrific and your judgement on these matters is solid so I will give it a go.
-
I thought Castlevania was pretty great, I haven’t seen much else.
I think Hitman was decent and I’ve see poeple talk about Last of Us and The Witcher but I think the rest are not so great.
Uncharted left me deeply scarred.
-
Some of the Resident Evils were ok if you ignored almost everything. WoW fit the so bad it’s good to laugh at box.
-
Him and Olyphant were equal costars in Justified, that was such a good show
-
I don't remember anything about it now, but I enjoyed the first Resident Evil movie when it came out. I also never played the game, so I'm not even sure if it counts.

I added way too much chilli to my beans and eggs 🥵🥵🥵
-
Tick, tock… 🔥

😭😭😭

After a gym session today I can definitely say eating healthy has made a really big difference.
It's like night and day. Despite the fact that I'm already sick of chicken and vegetables every dinner, it's worth it.
-
Can you prep 2 small batches of different things (2 meat, 2 veg) then mix and match them and use different sauces?
-
That's actually a good idea. I've done this chicken and veg thing before for about a year, but it's painful.

If you occasionally watch, or used to watch, or have been thinking about watching MMA, tomorrow is THE DAY to do so. It's UFCs biggest event in like 5 years: UFC 300. The fight card is ridiculously stacked with talent. The boss announced yesterday that the normal $50k bonuses for Fight of the Night, Performance of the night, and Knockout of the night will be increased to 300k!! Every fighter is massively incentivised to make their fights spectacular. It's going to be incredible. Early prelims start at 8am tomorrow, main card at 12pm.
You can watch early prelims and prelims on Kayo. If you're interested in a list of bootleg links with pop-ups that is only semi reliable, DM me.
Anyone already watching. Enjoy!!!

I'm so glad my Kodi app is ready to go lol

Highbrow JLo?

Just like one of the lyrics rounds on Richard Osman’s House of Games.
-

-
Yeah, that one time when there was a bright flash port side , just during takeoff, and then a flight crew person screaming “where’s the manual!!??”
That was a bit stressy.
-
An airline person aggressively changing their gloves?
-
-
Apparently we are going on a day date to Timezone. Didn’t realise those still existed. What horrendous plastic should I spend my copious tickets on?
-
G-Loc was my jam. Man I was good at that game.
-
Well that was rather meh. What happened to all the fighter smashing buttons and laser shooters?! I don’t care to feed you infinite credits to obtain a plush watermelon slice. There was one zombie thing obviously from the House of the Dead lineage but otherwise…..
-
-
Quiet here tonight
What happened to the world waddler?
-
It's an odd game. You either know the country or you pull out Google maps to cheat. Which is what I just did now (still Friday's version here). I figured it was West Africa so went with two guesses I knew in the region and cheated from there.
It gets a bit samey after a bit. I expect that's what happened to our resident worlders.

Todays dose of overly dramatic sombre old music:
Forgotten Garden by Martin Bennet. Usually played when anything about a 2/10 on the badness scale happens
Eliza Pt 1 by Milan Pilar. Usually played when something about a 5 or 6/10 on the badness scale happens
anything worse than that doesn't have a theme song, because they'll hire a whole marching band to make it even more dramatic

My wifi card managed to fall out of the pci slot and bump into my GPU fan. GPU fan is not very happy (though still works) and is now making a lot of vibration. I tried reseating the GPU into the PCI slot and making sure the external bracket screws are done up super tightly, but it didn't help. I confirmed that it is indeed coming from the GPU fan itself and not anything else, but it is :/
The vibration doesn't bother me that much, but I am a little worried about the HDD that sits not far below it. The vibrations aren't particularly gentle

Lesson learned: Persona 3 has teeth. I had hoped based on Persona 4 and 5 it'd be fine, but...nope.
Any recommendations for a game to play to cleanse my palate post whatever the fuck that ending was?

Tetris effect or super Mario bros?

Hey. Just wanted to say thanks for all the comments yesterday. We're still in a fragile place but committed and still in love, so hopefully that'll count for something. Counselling this morning - we've been going regularly for a few years now - sometimes it helps, sometimes we don't talk for a while afterwards. Hoping today will be a productive and considerate session. Anyways, thanks y'all.
