Same. I might even have a few drinks myself. I'll continue to celebrate Australia Day on whatever day it happens to be. I'm not tied to the date, just the day itself. My intention isn't to celebrate the date January 26, it's to celebrate Australia and I won't feel bad about celebrating Australia.
I'd guess most, nearly all Australians who celebrate Australia Day feel a similar way. Make it the 27th or 25th. Makes no difference to me.
Dan Murphys has jars of Italian maraschino cherries for like $6 and they're so good. I've just been eating a few of them each day from the jar even though I'm sure they're meant to go on top of drinks.
Went to the office to reimage a laptop but of course that meant that people I know spotted me and came over for a chat. Turns out talking for a bit completely flares up my cough so now I'm fucked again.
Stupid cough is still lingering and maybe even is having a small resurgence. I thought on Friday that it might be gone by Saturday or Sunday but alas.
In other news, I finished Spider-Man 2 to the extent that I'm satisfied. I've finished the story, every mission, collected all the things, bought every ability and suit (and their alternate styles). It's not 100% but that's just because there's like 2 trophies I'm missing which I don't think I'll bother with. Or maybe I will at some point, who knows?
Oh and I started watching X-Files for the first time. I have no idea why I never watched it when it's exactly up my alley. It was a monster in pop culture when it aired, and I was around for that and yet I never got into it. Maybe it was because I was 11 when it first came out and that's a bit young.
Anywho.. I have a team meeting in 4 minutes, so I better put my face on (read: put some clothes on).
Yikes that sounds like weapons grade onion warfare.
My most intense onion story was the time in my first apartment when I bought 3 onions and left them (forgot about them) in the back of the pantry for.. who knows how long.. and then one day suddenly the apartment STANK and I was hunting for the source of the smell. Turns out the onions sort of melted into a dark sludge which dripped down multiple shelves. I can't remember how long that smell stuck around but it was a while. When I think about it I can still kind of smell it.
I've been playing Spider-Man 2 a lot this weekend and it is absolutely amazing (pun intended). Spider-Man 1 and the Miles Morales game were awesome but this has taken them to an entirely new level. I haven't read any spoilers on the main story so it keeps continuing to surprise and thrill me.
I love the Batman Arkham games and I've been desperately wanting more. This game has possibly surpassed them. Absolutely loving it.
I'm taking a break to pretend to be a human being for a little bit. Just wow.
I've finally had enough and I'm buying a new mattress. The super-duper firm one I've had for a while is just making me sore all the time. I have a thin and a quite thick mattress topper on it but it's still way too firm so it can go bye bye.
The bed on the cruise ship was so soft I actually thought it might be a waterbed when I first laid on it and I slept really well! I think I need to reassess my pillow situation while I'm at it because I was using 3 pillows on the ship but they were the type which were filled with feathers (I think) and sunk a lot. I've been using a high-profile latex Dunlopillo for years but I think maybe it's not right for me anymore.
Anyway, I'm pumped to hopefully not have sore hips/lower back pain every morning.
Edit: anyone bought from and have a referral code for Sleeping Duck? I get $50 off and you get a $50 e-gift card in 100 days.

I shouldn't. But I wanna. But I shouldn't.
