Daily Discussion Thread: Sun 30 Jul 2023

Met my future dog yesterday.

Long story, but the owner has breast cancer and needed to find a forever home for a staffy (my dream dog).

Spent about 2 hours with him yesterday making sure he'd be happy with me as his human. He's very shy but we both fell in love.

Meet Adam the new love of my life 😍

LOOK AT THE LITTLE BABY!
My favourite thing is naming pets with human names. Like my cats are Bob and Rosa (Bob was named after Silent Bob but I revoke it and he's named after Bob the Drag Queen -- he was named by my ex-stepdad. Rosa is named after Rosa Diaz from Brooklyn 99). Can't wait to name a pet Greg.
- I can't wait to confuse people at work when I complain about him taking a shit on the rug
🍖
- I'll just pop that one in the treat bag for later
Hello Adam. You are very cute.
🥺 can I have him instead please?
- Quite the heart stealer already
Haiiiii Adam!
Awww the doggo!
I hope you have lots of fun times together.
Looks so cute sleeping like that.
What a beautiful doggo.
he looks like a cute puppy 🤗
- Really sweet and placid too. Think we're gonna get along nicely

Eeeeee!!!!! I accidentally found the cat's cuddle spot!!! 😻😻😻 it's much closer to the TV than I would normally sit but I decided to sit there while petting her and she CRAWLED ONTO MY LAP. I nearly died. I didn't have my phone but when she got up for a bit I grabbed it and sat back down and here she is purring up an absolute storm. She hasn't cuddled at all the whole 2.5 weeks I've been here - I'll sit here all day long to feel her purring contentedly against me1. Oh please kitty cat don't let this be a one time thing. We can chill any time. Any time at all. <3

Meanwhile Teddy is passed out drunk because of the rejection :)
- Teddy is adrift without the baby boy that usually lives in this house... (who probably just drools all over him at this stage tbh)
kitty head on leg is THE best feeling.
- I could die happy right now, but then I might not get to experience this again tomorrow so no dying for me today.
Aww so satisfying when they do this! The elation of being chosen! And a beautiful kitty 😍
- Cats are so good at making feel like a piece of useless garbage but they also make you feel so special and divine when they choose to lavish their love upon you. No, I am not a battered cat slave, don't send help...
Well fingers crossed if kitteh liked it she'll want it again!
The teddy in the background is in perpetual free fall!
Oh when she settles in you’re going to be pinned under her
- She's not at that stage yet. She prefers to stay mostly adjacent. I went to go feed her (I'm guessing this cuddliness was all a ruse...!) and now she's back to ignoring me from the other side of the house. But if I can be cat trapped by her before I head back home that would be an accomplishment indeed.

couchrat says goodnight

aww good kitty.
Doubt it's saying goodnight it's wide awake with them eyes.
Photo id: grey tabby cat looking adorable
- Hey just so you know, the image description for vision impaired users was actually already in the alt text of the photo in that comment (which you put in the square brackets when you use markup). That's how image descriptions are meant to work. If you hover over the photo on desktop or long press to open the image in another tab on a mobile browser you'll see the description.
  Just fyi about accessible tech if you're going to keep wanting to label peoples photos.

Yum. I think I'm going to go and start my own dinner now, you made me hungry.

I trusted you, Goddess. I could have hung up my laundry indoors last night, but I remembered your comment saying today was going to be 18 degrees. So I waited and hung out my stuff on the line this mroning and it dried perfectly throughout the day. So - thanks! I'm glad I held off instead of having clothes cram up my house. Cheers!

Well, the Goddess of sunshine does have full control of the weather.
- Not exactly full control…
You’re welcome

Tomorrow marks a week since I moved into the new place. I'm feeling so much better, and feel like I'm in a much more healthy place mentally than I was in the last place. And honestly, a lot of it is just the little things, like being home alone, and having access to knives, and administering my own medication

Awesome news Baku. A little peace of mind is golden.
- It really is
That’s fantastic. The environment of the last place didn’t sound healthy for anyone
- Based on the sheer turnover of workers, I'd say you're right
You're going to feel stronger and more confident everyday. :)
- It's already started! That European festival thing I decided to give a go, I wouldn't normally do because of all my people anxiety. Who coulda thunk that healthy environments make healthy minds?
Awesome! 💯 So glad to hear it's all happening for you after your hospital trip and all that stuff last week.
- Thanks! Yes last week was a shitshow, and the anxiety about the move definitely didn't help
So glad to hear.
- ♥️
Things are looking brighter for you everyday! You got this! You deserve only good things 💜💜
- 💜💜
Glad to hear! Your list of little things is not so little, it must feel great to be entering a new stage of life where you are getting more autonomy.

I can't believe this is winter.

Neither can I.
Bit windy but I’ve been outside for a bit today several times and it’s so nice to be out in the sun today.
This is all because we got a bullshit summer last summer.
I’m taking every minute of it I can outside!
I can't believe it's not butter!
- I still can't believe fabio was hit in the face by a goose on a rollercoaster.

Went out..

16 bucks a pint.

can feed a family of 6 fo that.

obscene.

Yeah beer prices are ridiculous now. I reckon the so-called micro-breweries (they're not, it's just marketing) have given the big breweries an excuse to jack up the cost of even a basic pint.

Lol. Who downvotes a daily discussion thread?

I downvote when someone says they don't put butter on toast.
I exist.. we exist.
- I don't butter my toast. Fight me 🥊
- I butter my toast but not if it's peanut butter. Then it's peanut butter only.
malakas
Could be a mistake or could be someone gets their kicks from it. But eh, DT could be downvoted to minus a million but still I’d visit here to enjoy the company.
- It happens consistently with the daily thread itself as I usually see the percentage always being less than 100%
- I've accidentally downvoted a few people here just by fat fingering on mobile
I was a bit confused about how you knew, my page just shows a cumulative total. Then I looked at it in the Jerboa app and it shows there, so I guess it just depends on the interface.
I have downvoted random things due to poor scrolling techniques, and it wouldn't surprise me if Miss Meow has managed to cast a few votes with a stray tail swipe or face rub too.
- Oh that interesting. I’m not using an app right now just on web browser. I thought that was something everyone could see.
- I can see the percentage through wefwef.
  Says 29 upvotes and lists a 97% with a smiley face.
  I assume that’s the percentage of people who upvoted.
There's one or more serial downvoters here, lurking. They hide away, and express their displeasure at our community the only way they know how.
Or it was a fat-finger that went off-course lol
- Fat fingwrs gangf!
Probably the same person who didn't appreciate my morning coffee and poo announcement yesterday. Maybe they do neither. Lol
- I’m mean that’s quality shitposting, who doesn’t like that?
Same people who downvoted the Reddit one?
You never noted it fluctuates between. -5 and +5 all day long?

Ending the week on a positive note. I wasn't expecting it but I feel like I've finally made progress this week. Still lots on the list to do and learn but it's nice to feel that I'm getting somewhere. 💪

I've been invited to fill in a survey on my experiences as a student. The email says I am from a "unique group of students". I think this might be a polite way of saying "you're really old for a student".

I am amused by the phrase 'unique group'. If unique, then by definition not a group. If they meant 'small group' why didn't they say so. Fancy word syndrome strikes again.
I have a Melb Uni tshirt with 'minimise sesquipedalian circumlocutions' written across the front. I cherish it.
- 'minimise sesquipedalian circumlocutions'
  I want one. A quick google search revealed that I can buy many tshirts with just the word sesquipedalian on it in a variety of fonts but not that tshirt :( can you still get them or no?
old student is when your own daughter is older than the lecturer 😬
- I do not have a daughter. Have I discovered the secret to eternal youth?! One weird trick doctors don't want you to know...

Ok, lunch is packed. Camera battery charged. I'm ready to head off for the day. Be good while I'm away, and keep your finger's crossed that the rain holds off long enough this afternoon that I don't come home a soggy Raven.

Quick the parents are gone! House party!
- 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🎊🎈🎉🍾
Can you bring me back some ice cream please? I'll be good.

Someone forgot to eat vegemite toast after a big night...
- Correct
Were you drinking wine?
- Margaritas and a bottle of house-wine. I have only myself and power ballads to blame.

lazy sunday = cooking spag bol with all the veggies I found in the fridge and needed to clear out. Delicious.

i am going to splurge and get a tuna mornay for lunch today

Where from? Can I interest you in this Devour from Woolies, Coles or IGA.
- Ohhh I will see of my walking distance smol Coles has it
You have inspired me to make this for dinner. Thank you, but I want to put an additional ingredient for a point of difference.
What could I add?
- Blue cheese. Cheese in general. More cheese than you think is reasonable, and then a bit more after that
- Peas, corn kernels, lemon, chilli flakes, herbs. Any of these will taste good.
- Scallops 🤤
- 🦞
- Sweet corn kernels were always my favourite in a tuna mornay if you weren’t already using it.
  Maybe peas?
- Water chestnuts for crunch. Just don't chop them until they resemble fingernail parings, which can lead to domestic disagreements. Ask me how I know.
Is that you Trent Latham?

Temperature: 18
Sun: Shining
Winds: Howling
Feels like: 10

What do I wear

A smile
- This is the correct answer.
- 🤖
Nothing at all nothing at all
- 🥓
Something that stops the wind, maybe a light jumper with a windproof jacket.
- jacket and shorts and tshirt it is

Went to the doctor this morning, turns out the dizziness which increased immensely today is due to Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo. Eg I get dizzy from looking up and down and I have crystals in my ear canal. So I've got to shake my head 10 times, 10 a day to fix it. Lol.

On another note, I've never seen this doctor before and they asked in Straight or gay?? I answered without thinking and it wasn't until I left that I questioned the necessity of that question. Lol.

- I would say none at all as by the time they asked the question we had the diagnosis.
That sounds like some ghosts in your blood shit
- Just do some cocaine about it

We're busy little bees here so my daughter's playing DJ. Such bands as Sisters of Mercy, Deftones and I don't know who they are. What I do know is, I don't appreciate being screamed at.

Foxygen. Who the hell is that?.

That’s wild you never heard of those bands.
- Nope

Man I hate these tortilla packets that's like "great for burritos". My burritos are bloody tiny!!!! What do you mean? I want big burritos.

I think burrito means little donkey , so they are meant to be little 🤷‍♀️
- or just smaller than a donkey

Ha! Dodged COVID despite spending all day yesterday with someone who unknowingly had it.

If I remember correctly, covid does take a few days to display symptoms and show up on a rapid antigen test.
- Ah… thank you for the heads up.
  Guess I’m WFH tomorrow.

Sort of funny but ever since the housemates cat came home from the vet my cat is not happy with him, 9yrs doesn't matter when you're gone for a few days. Also my cat is doing this thing where he approaches housemates cat and just sort of hisses in his face and walks away, and it's so stupid and funny.

I've been rewatching an ungodly amount British crime shows, and today I thought I'd treat myself to a rewatch of Ashes To Ashes. Holy dooly, I forgot how hilariously wild this show was, Keeley Hawes decked out in 80s garb has me cackling.

:)

My skin has been a lot drier this winter so I bought this product called Glory Oil by Eco Tan. Holy crap. It basically instantly fixed my skin and I have never looked so smooth and glowy in my life! 🥰

I really neglected my self care and appearance while pregnant last year because I was sooo sick. I couldn’t even stand to shower for more than a few times a week. Just miserable. But now at nine months post partum I am finally finding the time/energy/willpower to do morning AND night skincare, regular hair washing and styling, a bit of exercise, and I’m going to try and cut down on my insane sugar consumption (craved it so bad when I first started breastfeeding, now it’s just a bad habit). Oh and I need to cut down on screen time because it’s baaaaaad 🙈

Day 4 and it's a rest day, so I just did my tummy exercises. Now Mr Peeler is up I can put on some washing. The Miniest Peeler this morning said, "you're going to have to get new clothes soon Mum." When I asked her why she said, "because the only thing that's holding up your clothes is your fat." 🤣

The clouds have rolled in over Thornbury. The soft undersides of the clouds are beginning show the warm glow of approaching sunset. Well, either that or Footscray's on fire, and I'm sure someone would have mentioned it if that was the case.

The band's just hitting hard out west; the cat is concerned. Looks like it'll be over quickly though
e: ....and it's all over.
- And as you are commenting about it, therefore you are in a position to do so, so Footscray is NOT on fire. This is reassuring.

Just drove back into the city from Ballarat and yep, absolutely pishing down coming in from about Brooklyn. The Westgate Fwy was a swimming pool.
🥔
I just think they're neat
Rain's are here
I've just been calling my big kitten my special little guy.

When I asked you all to cross your fingers that the rain did not come before I got home I was envisaging you holding off the weather. But I guess having my afternoon seminar cancelled so I'm home early works too. 🤷‍♂️

I was actually a bit relieved it was cancelled, as I was pretty tired from walking so far. The morning was absolutely beautiful for it, lovely and sunny without being too hot for walking. Now I just need to spend some time getting my photos off the camera.

The one of victoria harbour looks like a statue breating out smoke. Nice set!
- I had to go and find the photo to figure out what you meant, but now I'm going to be seeing that every time!

I petition for woolies to be penalised if their stock indicators are wrong

Add Kmart to that list too.
- Kmmmmmart shakes fist

Doing the springers for dins.

Wrapped in lettuce w/ some sweet chilli dipping.

I was a bit wasted making them and it was very late so we're rolling the dice.

How was dins?

The sunrise is so beautiful this morning. Purple sky and the stars were still out.

The most frustrating part of fixing this vertigo is that I have to purposely make myself dizzy. It's an awful feeling but I have to fix it before work on Tuesday.

Maybe sit down when you do your head roll kata.

Oh there be hangovers in the 'leya house today

I think I responded to the wrong thread but you have to stand by it .. live it.. it is yours. No backsies.

I am so curious now.

Alrighty! Got a new wok and the ingredients for a tofu sitrfry. Gotta say, I haven't made a stir fry from scratch before and the amount of various exotic oils was unexpected lol

if i get blown away then rusty will have been too and i'll have someone to hang out with

Sorted out the delivery. Thankfully this time when I said no to the chat service I got a human. A few items were out of stock which was a pain.

Still been trying at digital because pencils and paper require me to sit up for too long. It’s frustrating though. While I picked the controls up quickly and have been managing to ‘paint’, sketching smoothly or with any precision is near impossible and kind of forcing me to relearn bad habits (pressing too hard just so the stylus will register, and chicken scratching).

It’s probably the limitations of the basic program and small equipment (it’s an on the go visual note taker for phones with fewer features than the standard version) plus my posture. But it’s really hard not to take poor results personally.

Edit: I went into the settings of the pencil and turned ‘streamlining’ up to 100 which helped a lot. Much closer to a real pencil. But yeah. That control has to be manually trained for a real pencil so it feels like a skill issue :(

I forgot to get up.
I shall do so now.
A quick brekkie before tuna mornay.

Leftover pasta turned into pasta bake. Can smell it in the oven and my stummy is growling 🤤😭

Yum yum!

It is fricking beautiful outside! Bring on summer!

You're joking, right.
- 18 degrees, I’m outside in a t-shirt!

People can get things very wrong. Have a look at the bozo answers. Australian slang I get that you might never have heard it. It doesn't mean the op is wrong though.

reddit has turned in to a steaming pile of crap. or maybe it was always like that. thankful we moved away for our special kind of banter. A gig is a job, a kind of horse cart but I'd never heard of being a sticky beak slang term, learn something every day. I'll never quite understand why people bother to waste time being jerks online.
- There are a few things I hate in this world and rudeness is up there. No need for it.
- Wait for the ipo it's going to be baad.
- Reddit was better when it was just the tech heads using it.
  The normies ruined it.
People enjoy shitting on others to make themselves feel superior. It's gross. I have not heard of 'gig' in that context, but I didn't grow up in every single state, city, and town in Aus simultaneously. OP is just trying to the slang-etymology for that usage, doesn't mean they're wrong. Netizens can be so cuntish.
- What's wrong with saying nah mate. I've never heard of it instead of nah you're wrong?
I was sufficiently moved by the confidently incorrect assertions of some of the respondents to this post to add my own contribution. Yes, I know people that use the word "gig" in this manner, and u/Positive_Complaint had to dust off her 3rd party app and add her 5c!
- And you worded it very well too.
probably from goog, meaning eggs, google ( not the number or search engine ) eyes ( big round eyes ) /goggle eyes
I am old as fuck 😂
- We used to say "take a goog at that". It also kinda rhymes with look.
  There is Squwiz. As in squeeze your eyes/squint to focus. A butcher's, butcher's hook/look.
A "gig" is a job, usually referring to bands playing a show. That is all it has ever meant.
Sums up Reddit in a nutshell. "Only MY way of using a word is correct. Everyone else is a fucking idiot who can't speak English."

it's the weather, not you
- The weather is not conducive to wearing an oodie, but, by Jobe, I'm doing it anyway
- Weather good.

Spewing that I’m not in great physical condition now and can’t really garden. Seed libraries are around if anyone wants to try it.

Also I’m not sure of the heavy metal in the soil (the tested map sites on either side vary) so I’d have to do raised beds which don’t move house well. And if I went outside the furry baby would either be crying inside or follow me out and take the chance to abscond. Melbcat’s a fully indoor kitty now.

I know that leafy veg have shallow roots and require less light so maybe that’s a go, window box inside. Maybe more cat grass. Paris Market carrots are also very short and round for containers, I think root veg also need less light than fruiting plants. But I have to fork out more for either self watering pots or watering spikes for bottles because I’m not going to remember.

It all adds up at Bunnings 💸 But I’m just trying to think of something constructive but not overwhelming while I feel like shit

For affordable soil testing for heavy metal contaminants, Macquarie Uni does a very cheap test of soil samples you send in. You can also send household dust for analysis. Details here https://www.mq.edu.au/faculty-of-science-and-engineering/departments-and-schools/school-of-natural-sciences/our-research/impact-case-studies/vegesafe-and-dustsafe#:~:text=VegeSafe%20is%20a%20community%20science,our%20soil%20metal%20testing%20program.
- Thanks, I thought about doing it.
  Another issue is though is edible plants vs visiting cat poops
hugs
How about some pots outside next to front or back door, would they get enough light? Wouldn’t have to go far to look after them, if you had to carry watering can? Snow peas or sugar snap peas are surprisingly productive and make use of vertical space. Or a pot of strawberries would be delightful for the warmer months, but have to protect from birds or possums.
- I was going to do a vertical garden, unfortunately it would require going outside (clingy Houdini cat) and a nosy Karen neighbour would make a massive stink
You can get soil samples tested for free in Victoria with the Gardensafe program. You just need to pay for the postage to them.

Stir fry turned out great! A bit too much vermicelli, but all in all quite tasty and I feel great afterwards :)

Kind of hoping for climate change to result in what happened in The Day After Tomorrow. Can I be stuck in a flooded, frozen city, in a library, and get naked with a hottie to keep warm? I'm looking forward to re-enacting that hot af scene tbh

there is no need to wait till the apocalypse to do that
- 👀
Just move to Fargo, it's like that every winter.
- Film and series are epic - film more than series. I shall go to Fargo, hit on everyone, and get laid endlessly. Thank you for the tip 😉😉😉

I sometimes wonder what we would be like if we were a republic with a president and a bill of rights.

Was at an afternoon screening of Barbie only for the projector to die just before the final ending! Now I’m trying to find out how the film ended…

Are things still on film apart from IMAX? I would have thought it was all digital now....
- Digital or not, it still involves a projector that can fail.

with the exception of meals and my short venture outside to obtain tuna mornay, i have been playing phone games all. day. long.

i shall have wings with lettuce and rice, and then go sleep.

productivity can wait.

I read a whole book. Not sure that's any more productive.
My dirty house is mocking me, but I will continue to ignore the mess for another day or two.
- i gave up reading a book i don't really like, read another one instead, and read a short story yesterday
  my dirty house and dirty laundry are glaring at me. But yes some time this week I should really do something about them.
I have flicked between Pkmn Shuffle, Bejewelled, and Peglin all day. Why be productive when we could be couch-potates?🛋🥔
You have done well 🤗
- bejeweled stars and sumikko gurashi block puzzle here
- What is this? A couch for ants?
After doing so much adulting the bacon must rest.

Apparently if I use my PC at the same time as my heater the circuit breaker trips

This shouldn’t be the case, report it as it might be a potential electrical fault. (Assuming the 2 items are not triggering on their own, in which case don’t use the triggering one again, it is unsafe)
- Yeah the PC is all good on its own, and I'm going to give the heater a go on its own tomorrow when nobody's home (there's 4 rooms all on one circuit (I think?) And we all have our heaters going, so I suspect that's probably the issue)
- How exactly do I go about doing this?
A heated throw will draw less power and likely wont be an issue.
- I'm a little split on those. What exactly are they? Just like a blanket with a a heating element?

@baconmash@aussie.zone need pics and review of tuna mornay

it's just coles brand. nothing special.
- I still wanna see it but okay 😭 @useless_modern_god@aussie.zone please provide pics of mornay

Missed all the rain. Stoked! Racked up almost 200km with a late start this afternoon. I always forget how cool it gets up in the hills.

Driving home from the city on the freeway. Torrential rain most of the way! That was kinda scary. I am home in one piece.

Good work. My first ever drive after I got my L's was on a rainy day (lighter than today though), and I thought I was going to end up in a ditch

I have outdoor garden lighting that stopped working. I have narrowed it down to the transformer. Ordered one online and that was a no-go. Tried Middys. They were no help. Maybe Beacon can hook me up today. I might have to build my own.

Try Jaycar
- Oh that’s a good tip. I Always forget about them.
- I second jaycar
ask optimus prime
- I was thinking Voltron could hook it up.
Would Bunnings have one?
- Bunnings is a generalist type supplier. They will do special orders though so maybe I’ll check it out if I’m desperate. Thank you.

Checking out my garden which comprises plants in pots. Quite a few ded because summer. It wasn't a lack of water. It was the sun made the pots so hot the roots cooked and water made that worse. Need more shade but even that won't help if it gets really hot.

It's like I'm watching "Miracle Mile" in slow mo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sixCVdhy0lQ

Doggo is spent after weekend runs on the beach - https://i.imgur.com/lHRTj27.jpg

aww 🤗
Calhound looks adorable!

For some reason, Google thinks that an Indonesian film is Jumanji...

Are Boston buns still a thing? I haven't seen one for yonks, and they used to be in every bakery. Such good icing.

I hope they are. I know Baker's Delight use to. I don't know if they still do though.
- They do! Saw some there a week or two ago
Yeah, we had one at work a few weeks ago.
I never had a good one from a bakery. It's one of those things you need to bake at home.

Product recommendation:

image: Bull's-eye Carolina Reaper and Black Garlic hot sauce. It's the hottest sauce I've ever bought from a non-specialty shop. It's also insanely tasty, and a little goes a long way. Available at Woolies for $4.75. side note: I do not recommend their less spicy bourbon infused one - not very tasty.

oooh didn't realise woolies had that.

I broke my KMART stick vaccum. What do I buy now?

Another one. Or maybe some fish and chips
I had a fairly cheap Vax stick vacuum which worked well (until some a***hole workman killed it). I now have an Electrolux, which is a bit more expensive but I am very happy with it.
@birbboidaseed @bot001 a Makita stick vaccuum! Absolutely love mine.

The photos of my day have now been sorted. I put a couple in a post on the Main Page, and there is a link to my blog there if you want to see the whole lot. I should pick one for the pictures community too, get some more Melbourne representation there.

Nice post! Do the floating wetlands attract much birdlife?
- One had seagulls and a cormorant, one had some ducks. They are still new and should grow and provide better habitat over time. I hope they work out well and we get more of them.
Ayy, nice pics

Gonna go back to my uni days and make breakfast burritos. I love my Milo cereal, but I want a bit of variety atm.

Home made bun rieu for late dinner was just chef’s kiss

Just heard someone dry-retching in my buildings hallway. If they throw up and I smell it, ima throw up on their front door wtf

The winds and the rains. They are here.

@landsharkkidd@aussie.zone @StudChud@aussie.zone

Hey folks, have any of you played Outer Wilds and if so how was it?

Sadly no, it's not been a game that interested me. But I've played Outer Worlds!
(Honestly tho it's hilarious that Outer Worlds and Outer Wilds both came out in 2019).

will there be thunder or will i be disappointed?

Hey man I love that shit! Storms at night are awesome!
- no thunder tonight :(
Now raining here in the SE. Can’t decent rainfall from what I can hear.
- yup over now
Sound of torrential winds and rain out here but no lightning or thunder I'm afraid.
- 😞

Not so dirty little secret… I enjoy the dash cams channel way too much…

Well holy crap. I napped when the Logies started and I’m back after 3 and a bit hours.

Feels like I wasted my evening :(

You prolly needed the sleep! Not a waste if you feel better paying off that sleep-debt 💜💜💜
- You’re probably right.
  I just wanted to spend the time doing something that wasn’t sleep or napping though.
  Even if it was watching tv or something.

Pokemon Sleep:
Makes my sleep worse because I HAD to put the phone down before I was sleepy enough.
And when I woke up in the middle of the night I couldn't scroll a bit till I'm sleepy again.
And I have to be careful not to knock my phone off the bed.
Deleted.

oooo, we have rain in the cbd area

I was in Footscray having dinner when it hit. I got up to leave and thought I'd accidentally ended up in another city

I bought some cans of Lynx for the first time since high school because I liked some of their nose flavours and they were half price. Turns out Lynx sucks as an actual deodorant. Shame.

That's why it doesn't work well on teen boys - they all fucking reeked

Slight chance of sky pretty. Boring as day. Rested and did housework. Vege stew for this week turned out great though. I hope I can remember the spice herb chile mix next time, but I doubt it. Cats are up so now it's time for the hated vaccuum.

oh gees, that scene in Castaway where Chuck finally escapes the island on his raft. For the first time since the crash there is music. The heart swells. 🥺🥺🥺 Such a good movie.

Spoilers?!
- it's an old movie
