Got the insomnias so I’m playing some random horror game from itch.io. it’s actually pretty good, but it is a siren head game (siren head: resurrection by show_more) lol so it’s a monster we’re familiar with. Already got the monster to glitch out on stuff which is pretty funny, but it did lull me into a false sense of security with it’s behaviour and then changing it so I died ha.

Lucky I’m a gamer and save heaps so no real progress lost. I’m fixin’ to fuck up old mate.

Woke up too early club checking in. Had a bad dream that woke me up. Also felt cold so have now put a blanket over the doona. Hopefully can snooze a bit more before morning. Think it’s time to swap to the winter doona next time I change the sheets.

Up at 4am stressed about today.

I find out the results of the ecocardiogram and the holter I’ve been wearing.

I’m getting tired of taking punches by myself.

I shouldn’t have to be more worried about my job than whether I’m likely to get a stroke in the foreseeable future.

Jesus, what a day. In the way home it turns out the rear tyre has been losing pressure independent of the collision, so the bike might be in better condition than first thought.

Rode to the bike store to drop it off, then went to the nearest pub to meet the family. It was fucking closed for renovation. Ended up going out to where I do trivia for dinner because we couldn’t get confirmation anywhere else was open or not packed. It was just a big day.

PHM - 4/5 Hobbits

Project Hail Mary

I went in knowing the audio book very well

and my brain will just not shut up, I sat there analysing dramatic structure and character etc

and after a short while I understood enjoying this is like enjoying The Hitch Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

each version for different media is different, they aren’t just all the same scenes

but the story is the same 🙂

the visualisations of many of the scenes was stunningly beautiful

story was engrossing

we left the cinema wanting more

5 hobbits

miss seagoon said ryan may get an oscar for it, I dunno, I do think effects etc will win

what I would have liked to see from the audiobook

more focus on the negative events and how they positive think and work together to solve the problems

more focus on how and why they needed each other

that can be in the extended movie version

That store return limit thing was niggling at me, so I ended up contacting the company’s customer service and indeed the store limit is a thing - but you can leave the items with the store and the store will then send HQ the details for the refund. (I did also mention that the lady didn’t get given that option at all). Hell no.

aaand, Miss Seagoon has set up her imdb page, not many credits and most of her work is not in film 🤞It’s a start. She knows how to do this

she said there’s a shortage of people in her field, we will see 🙂

Last night I asked YL if she would like to tart me up a bit. She did my make-up so nice and natural I was beaming. She even gave me eyebrows. It’s the little things, guys.

Surprisingly no poppies have err… popped up this year in the ol’ opium patch. Was worried they’d take over again. Last year was like 4 consecutive green bins full of those fuckers. I see one, I’m pulling it out.

I’d imagine that’d be at full tilt.

Today we are cleaning downpipes again.

Recently bought a 15m drain hose thing that attaches to the cheapo gerni thing. Did a few yesterday and the noise changed from ‘you need a laxative’ to ‘wtf did you eat last night gurgle’. I think that’s progress.

I’m up to two packages currently waiting at my door for me to come home. I think it’s my new electric blanket and a soy milk maker, but I’m also expecting a Temu package including new watch bands/covers and random stuff.

I had previously bought an electric banket on a pre-order with Appliances Online, but their delivery has apparently been delayed so I got a refund. I ended up buying a cheaper blanket instead to give me enough money left over for the soy milk maker. It’s not a brand I’ve ever seen before, so fingers crossed it’s ok.

Is there a fresh wave of anti-Islam sentiment going around? Someone just made some highly questionable comments regarding hijab and I’m wondering if Pauline has said something stupid again still

Kinda don’t really wanna talk to that person again regardless :/

I need to find a better spot to hide the cat treats. The void has an impending Catnip Greenie problem, and has smashed a Lego set hunting them down.

At doc now. Will report back.

My past self apparently programmed a secret message into my spreadsheet to alert me when the leave dates I want are open to apply for. I do not remember doing this at all, but when I opened it today there was a bright red “APPLY FOR LEAVE” message waiting for me. I am incredibly impressed with my ingenuity.

I am watching The King and I , last time I saw this was decades ago

omg,

this is a battle of the sexes story, which is always fun

but the representations of culture are quite … embarrassing

all I can think of is that’s not how royalty works and the accents and dances etc are 😬

that she was a brave Victorian woman, of whom there were many

and the king and court were very wise in anticipating and handling Western imperialism and influence

4 hobbits, also I love how in the 40s and 50s so many movies were set in other countries and cultures, now we seem stuck in the West

Cheers, DT peeps!! 🍾 🍻

So there’s no heart damage which is great. Ecocardiogram shows no issues either.

The results of the holter thing I wore that records my heartbeat for a day aren’t ready yet.

This is the point where I go “yeah cool I’m fine”.

And I’m going out tomorrow night to celebrate 🎉

spoilerLooking at Melbcat photos. She’s so beautiful. So many tail hugs and real hugs. A lot of cheeky moments. I wish I could hold her again.

Does anyone here feel their age? Physically or mentally.
