I'm looking to eventually get a job as a TA so I can get on the job training while I finish my degree because I feel like if I went into a teaching job now, I'd be crap at it.

L B Double-Ghouled?

Gave me a good chuckle.

Thats an all round disappointment.

Nope, I appreciate the response so no need to apologise. I don't want 'the haunted mansion' so I am trying to think of something else, but tis a struggle. I shall go back to my pun drawing board.

Was the leftovers good at least?

Hopefully you find that mars bar slice and your day turns for the deliciously better.

How does this sound for the title of a cricket themed/haunted mansion story: Caught and Ghouled (a play on caught and bowled).

Otherwise I'm stuck with the temporary title of 'The Haunted Mansion' which is overplayed.

Urgh, what happened to the nice weather these past two days?

In between reading adult books, I tend to read some Goosebumps or Fear Street as a palate cleanser and also remind me of my childhood and also get me in the mood writing that kind of horror for kids.

Currently reading one of the Fear Street books and the main character wakes up thinking someone is trying to break in because of the news saying there's a prowler breaking into houses. She screams, her parents come in, turns out it's the classic tree branch tapping on the window. So then the Dad takes her into their bedroom, opens the bedside table and shows her the gun he has to protect them from any intruders and how 'it's always loaded' and 'right here' and I know it's blatantly Chekhov's Gun but as I read it, I couldn't help but laugh and think 'this is so America.'

I care so little for US politics and I am already tired of hearing about that train wreck, despite actively avoiding it. I can't escape it I figured it must be close to the election so I googled it.

We got another 3 months of this.

Apparently it was filmed a few years back and then reshot. A stunt actor recently said it had a lot of head popping, etc. so it was probably R and went to PG.

tldr: studio interference (as usual)

I am very much happy with the passes gets degrees theory, but worry I am not actually good, just competent enough to do whats needed for that particular subject without retaining it long term.

OnlyDans is coming soon.

I'm actually terrible at writing assignments (I'm about a 70-75 average student), but this was a video assignment so even worse.

Holy moly, I got a 92 on my last assignment. That is a pleasant surprise.

That's a 'hello boys' if I ever saw one.

I read that in a 90s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles voice.

Binged through all of Fake on Saturday night. Man, it was compelling, almost like an Aussie Baby Reindeer. So many things that were infuriating in how people were acting.

Also watched The Instigators with Matt Damon and Casey Affleck. Story isn't all that flash, but I thought it was hilarious. The banter between characters gave me a good laugh most of the time.

Started watching Fake and it opens up on the bridge just outside of Flinders st station crossing the Yarra.

1. It makes me a bit homesick
2. It's weird seeing places I walked daily for work in a tv show.

I'm pretty sure the train line she rides on is one of the northern lines too.

That's why I put them into google docs. The risk of losing them if I write them down is too great.

I am keen for this day to end. I am making a double cheeseburger for dinner and gonna watch that new Aussie show, Fake with Asher Keddie and David Wenham.
