brain stuck, not sure what to do
think I’ll just put a few things away, put away another load pf clean washing and so the rest of the dishes
Back neighbours’ party has been going since before the GF started. They’ve descended into drunken scream singing, add some screaming kids to the mix, it’s so loud. Got my massive speaker going to drown them out.
I need to throw my own loud revenge party.
Pity it’s due to rain, 9am garden shredder on the fence line is my usual go to
SORRY BOUT THAT. I DO LOVE A SING ALONG.
Sex On Fire has come on, they’re losing it
Pop your head over the fence. If you’ve got binoculars even better.
I feel like at some point Australia has become a very soulless country of paying off a mortgage and that’s about it.
You’re an inspiration…
I agree. And if you’re not in the strata of being able to get a mortgage it’s pretty grim
I think we have regressed to pre WWII society. We have lost manufacturing industry , wages are again very low, education is again very costly, medical care is becoming out of reach for many and benefits are starvation rates
Its an extremely sad regression, and things are going to have to get a lot worse before they get better. Because unfortunately people usually won’t take to the streets until things are really desperate.
Grand budapest, brie and fat purring cats
I hate it when I’m buying something and don’t realise it’s in US dollars until checkout and I have to re-evaluate the value of everything I’m buying.
Roman Holiday is on SBS World Movies. I would like to be pootling around Rome on a Vespa.
Indeed, Rome is quite hilly.
Eating a mysterious indeterminate purple icypole. What flavour is this?
Blackcurrant?
Not green
Despair
I think I’ve had a few gin and tonics that had that flavour
Grape.
Cabbage
Eggplant?
Today has been a rough one. Melbcat guarded me while I sat in the shower and then curled up in my dressing gown with me to share a nap.
I don’t understand how people think cats are cold or aloof
Cats are neither cold nor aloof, they just don’t obsessively crave human approval.
It’s invariably self-identified ‘dog people’ who talk shit about cats. And tbh the way they do makes me think they shouldn’t have dogs either
Hugs. I have never known cats to be aloof, they are just picky in wh they care for
Daily pussy pic. Jimmy two-tone from Darwin
Oi, whachu lookin at
Jimmy unimpressed with you.
I get that a lot…
Jimmy looks like he could rough you up.
Jimmy two-tone
Look at that face. He’s telling you to stop messing around and think of your future
I could do with an icypole
I can offer:
Ben&Jerry Tonight Dough
Connoisseur cafe grande
Valhalla salted caramel peanut crunch
Peters pineapple/rasberry twin pole
What.say.you?
Hot dang, how big is your freezer?
Oh, the Grande please
the only real choice
Gotta go the twin pole

Apologies to all football fans, I may have made a comment around the end of the first quarter about it being good to have a close match, which was apparently the Swans’ cue to completely stop trying.
I was pleased with the symmetry of the scores though, with the Lions’ goals and points both being exactly double the Swans, also everything being a multiple of three suits my numerical preferences.
Saw it in 22. It came back today for a repeat.
Nah, it’s not you. It’s the Swannywobbles
The post-game stuff always gets me. Chris Fagen hugging Leigh Matthews had me in tears.
Several glasses of wine probably helps.
a rant about insecurities
I need to block a subreddit, because I feel called out lol. r/crappymusic, because the commenters just hate when people express themselves. Humans make music, idk what makes it crappy. I don’t make music of course, but I write, and I feel all my insecurities are heightened when I see those negative jerks shitting on people enjoying themselves on stage.
Idk, I was considering putting some of my poetry to music or a beat, and maybe consider doing like, beat poetry - because I so desperately admire the people who do that - but I feel so stupid even considering it when I’m afraid of being utterly rejected.
I suppose I need to work on my confidence and forget what people may think, but it’s hard to let go of all the voices that tell me that I’m already a failure.
I probably just need to delete fucking Reddit too sigh
Yeah reddit be judgy. Sounds like you want to get in with like minded people.
There used to be poetry slams many years ago at the Drunken Poet, dunno if that’s still going. It seemed friendly enough.
Just a heads up though that I did stop going because of some old drunk dude making inappropriate comments. So like… check it out if you want and if it sucks hit the bricks
Yes the Poet still does those!
I reckon Reddit works if you’re very purposeful in your curation. My feed is mostly cats, book discussions and recommendations, crochet, and so on. Fuck the mean people, seek out the nice spaces.
Your work sounds amazing. Have you checked out Australian Poetry Slam? That could be a way in with supportive, like-minded people.
Join the delete Reddit squad (but still add Reddit at the end of almost every Google search)!
What makes music crappy anyway? At my work, they played a live version of a Foo Fighters song over the speakers and a customer said it sounded terrible. But the crowd went wild! It’s all about taste at the end of the day.
You’ve got this! Go out there and express yourself, and most importantly, have fun. That’s the main bit. You are HOTTOGO!! <3
Thank you, you are truly the sweetest 💜
it sounds like a place where mean people go , so don’t go there :)
hugs
me, i do not care one jot if randos do not like my stuff , i do care if they try to stop me or impede me, I suppose destroying a good mood is in a way impeding me, defining me is impeding me
what matters is what my loved ones and my friends say, and this friend says expressing yourself is a beautiful thing 😘
and more hugs, it seems moving past negative voices in one’s head is a life long task 😫
Thank you Sea, I really appreciate your compassion and understanding 😭 you are the gem of the dt
you are all so silly, I’m so lucky just to be here among such good and talented people
