Well, that Netflix Life on our Planet doc has got one of the most detailed and convincingly animated dinosaur obliterating asteroid scenes I’ve ever seen… May not have been the best choice for (young kids) family viewing Friday…
Well with that review, I’ll have to put it on my watch list.
Hahahah you’ve reminded me of the GI Joe movie. I saw a review that was ostensibly negative - it basically said ‘it’s like they gave a bunch of GI Joe toys to a ten-year-old, and then made a movie out of what ensued.’
I thought the image was so hilarious that I watched the movie. 🤣
sorting books, getting rid of all the art books I have read and aren’t good, the little down to earth watercolour handbook without flashy glossy colour pics is the most useful. Will keep that one.
Found note books full of memos, I no longer remember what they are even about. Shredded and tossed.
All that daiso paper and ink, easily and cheaply replaced.
learning and practicing how to use watercolour has commenced , I’m painting in the colouring book , title page in wash is my start :)

Nice. Watercolour is fine but tricky.
oh boy, I’m used to nice pointy brushes and tried the flat ones, so hard to do detail with flat brushes. I think I will go back to pointy.
I had some really weird and disturbing dreams and am somehow awake before even 5:30. This is a very weird feeling. Not sure if I should get up and do something…
Is decaf mocha just a hot chocolate?
AmbVic finally replied to my email and provided a spreadsheet of the branch locations, this time unencrypted. They actually included more info than I asked for which is nice, and also how I learnt that there’s such a thing as seasonal ambulance branches and also “super response centres”.
For anybody who was curious, there’s 260 entries in the list, although that includes the season stations, air ambulance locations, “community” branches (which I assume means volunteer), and the mobile stroke unit base
That lying Tesla driver has got 9 months in prison.
On top of everything else, it really makes a mockery of ‘you’ll get punished for lying in court’.
She will probably be deported after serving her time.
She might not have even be sentenced to time if she didn’t flee the scene or lie and keep on lying. This will be lesson. Don’t lie.
I thought the lesson was “If you wanna hurt people, use a car”.
130 bucks to discover the previous plumber stuffed up the original install. Shocker!
Boooo!!!
Love paying for the mistakes of other trades, happened to me recently.
One of my friends just had her second baby and all my other friends are jumping up straightaway to visit her as soon as possible. Is it wrong that I…just don’t care? I mean I’m glad she has had a safe birth, the baby is healthy etc, I sent congratulations and contributed to a baby gift but…I’m sorry i’m not chomping at the bit to come and visit and check-in.
Nah, perfectly normal.
it actaully means a shit load more to give it a couple of weeks THEN go say hi. You go in the first couple of weeks? Its about the baby. You go after the excitement settles down and the craziness sets in? You’re there to see your mate. Its the later weeks that are more lonely.
Sounds perfectly rational to me. Actually, a visit from you might be more welcome in about a month’s time when all the new has worn off and everyone else has stepped back a bit.
Exactly, just because you’re not gaga doesn’t mean you are mean. You have nothing to be sorry about
Don’t let others set the standard of behaviour, set your own. There is more than one way to be a good caring person.
Hugs.
Methhead wandering down Flinders Street charging at people and yelling gibberish. Stay safe out there everyone
Also, what do people recommend I do post being charged by a methhead. I’ve got to work but I’m still in a state of fear
Not sure whether you can, but forget the encounter. The other party has most likely forgotten you entirely.
Perhaps instead direct the dark thoughts to what you might do differently should a similar thing happen again?
file a police report. Go home.
I agree with Nath, you should just try and move on from it however you can. Once you get somewhere safe, ask if you can take 5 minutes to recollect yourself before you start work.
You can make a police report if you think it’ll make you feel better, but imo that’s a waste of time. The cops will just take a statement and put it in some forgotten file somewhere. It’s very unlikely that unless somebody was injured they will investigate at all, and even if they do and they charged the crackhead (even more unlikely), they’ll probably just be released or otherwise receive some penalty that doesn’t make you feel any better about it. They won’t go to prison.
friggin tradies man, supposed to be here at 8am. not even a call or text saying “sorry, gonna be late”
Had a very strange dream last night. It was lovely. A big party (I think it was a wedding). All sorts of people were there including some people I haven’t seen for years. And one family member in particular was there and happy and we have a beautiful talk about how she is feeling happy and healthy and everything is wonderful.
Then you wake up and remember that person died nearly a decade ago. I don’t really believe in that sort of heaven but its so nice to think they are at peace and happy (and watching - I certainly still talk to her all the time in my head). But man oh man am I feeling fragile today. Just needed to tell someone before I have a coffee and put my game face on for work. Hug your loved ones peeps.
I had a dream where I was a damaged tank in ww2 pushing a hill. Not crew. I was the tank.
Went well actually.
So many hugs.
I dunno. We are so small and young in the grand scheme of things. Maybe there are somethings we just cant explain, events we cant possibly understand. A cosmic gift if you will. Glad you got to experience this!
Got the day off work to look after Miniest while Mr P goes to an appointment. Apparently they cleaned the split system filters in her classroom while the class was in session. Dude came in and took it apart and started cleaning it with a *paintbrush.*The filters were filthy and dust was flying everywhere, the kids and even the teacher were coughing. Anyway it’s triggered her dust allergy and she’s at home today. That sort of stuff should be done outside of school hours, not while the class is in. Here I am cleaning ours at home while they are out of the room, and use a vacuum cleaner and actually suck up the dust, not flick it around with a brush, only to have the school do this. To say I’m angry is an understatement.
yeah thats bullshit. Especially if they know your kid has an allergy. I’d be hitting the principal with a “please explain”
I’m writing an email once I’ve calmed down a bit, as I don’t want the angry vibe to completely take over my vocabulary, as it does sometimes in these situations.
write it in a document when angry, don’t send. Then read over when calmed down and garner your cliff notes.
Went to check out my local Anytime today. Was very small and apartment gym like. They only had one PT that worked there as well. Their machines were decent though.
Council gym is the same price plus you get access to the pool and classes. But it isn’t 24 hours and doesn’t have the option to go to any club, which I’m not sure I’ll need anyway. This gym also gives you a personalised program and when I went there, they seemed pretty friendly.
I’m thinking the council gym?
Also scheduled a psych appt and could only get one for a month from now.
And I’m waiting to hear if my uni will give me extensions for my assignments because rotting in bed for three weeks has made it really difficult to do anything.
I always like the option of a 24 hour gym, but in reality I’m never there outside of the “regular” hours (except maybe early evening Saturdays). Pool and classes would tip me over the edge until the rate is crazy high.
Good on you for getting the pysch appt booked!
After trying a bunch of local gyms, ended up signing up for the council one. Equipment gets fixed quickly. Staff always on hand. Very clean and modern. No dickheads and show offs.
Even had a staff member tell some ‘influencer’ that recording is not allowed without the consent of everyone else around.
I’ve been writing my own album for about a year now. Usually I’m a guitarist in bands, or do acoustic singer stuff by myself.
So I’ve made this mix of industrial with a middle eastern vibe throughout.
I’ve been very hesitant to start recording vocals despite having lyrics all done.
I’m going to have a go tonight. Fuck it. Let’s see how it plays out.
Can you give me an arabic song that I can slip into the Spotify queue that will surprise the man. Preferably something cheesy with numerous habibis in there.
Genuinely, yes I can lol. Gimme a few days.
@Gibsonisafluffybutt @CEOofmyhouse56 CEO: Are you looking specifically for Arabic music or cheesy ethnic music more broadly?
Because if it’s the latter, then I have some Lithuanian music that’ll be perfect for your partner…
I can’t wait to hear your originals. Do you know of an arabic song by another artist that I can play now?
Anything by this discount arab Ricky MartinPerfect 😂 😂 😂 I put a song on and he smiled and said “what the fuck is this?” and I showed him your comment “discount Arab Ricky Martin” and we both started cracking up. He’s now put him in favourites 😂. Alif shook runs.
My absolute pleasure. I tried Arabic pop and couldn’t handle it. It can be so damn cringe lol
Beautiful. Thank you.
I have picked the wrong pathology location today. Soooooo slow and I have stuff to do today!
