Your reminder that Spicks and Specks is on tv tonight. The one show a week that justifies the tv antennas continued existence.

Is anyone here into modern spirituality stuff? Was supposed to go to this cool thing in Brunswick today, like an expo, but I can't because of the migraine.

Been really trying to find that community and I'm pretty heartbroken that I can't go to this expo πŸ˜”πŸ˜”πŸ˜”

My mum is extremely spiritual, I grew up learning how to do tarot readings, which crystals have certain energies, aura readings, palm readings, etc.

I don't believe any of it, all it did was exacerbate her schizophrenia lol.

There is a crystal shop on Sydney Rd now though, and I bought a small garnet because they're pretty. My inner magpie loves crystals and stones. If you have a specific crystal in mind, I can have a look for you! Let me know!

I’d like something green to go with my big amethyst and citrine. Just a colour thing.

[–] StudChud@aussie.zone 4 points 4 months ago

They have malachite, Moldavite, and serpentine, from memory. Ill pop down this week and see what they have in stock. I guess it depends what kind of green lol

Not my thing but I noticed these events get suggested pretty heavily on Facebook and Eventbrite. If the thing in Brunswick has a Facebook event all the suggested events should be pretty similar.

There are also these witchy markets on semi regularly, but they move around. There might be one on near you soon

I inadvertently listened to most of MSO's performance Carmina Burrara yesterday live on ABC Classical while doing my taxes and was all "oh it's THAT doomsday song!" And then all of yesterday arvo and today it's been bugging me, where did I hear an English language parody of it, was it misheard lyrics, no it was simpler, was it an ad, what ad was it, what ad, was it the UK, was it here...

... and then it finally came to me out of nowhere this evening. I only knew it from Gruen as it aired before I moved to Australia, but the wave of nostalgia over LOTR and the excitement of videos on the internet came flooding back once I watched it and it sent me into a bit of a YouTube rabbit hole. Many of you probably know this one.

It's a big ad, ve-ry big ad...

We watched some old episodes of Ready Steady Wiggle from 10 years ago and the new episodes are so much better. They're more cohesive and have better pacing.

There are 8 wiggles in the main lineup now, it makes me wonder if there's a US wiggles branch.

If not, Anthony should take the Trans-Siberian Orchestra approach and have two groups of the wiggles that just tour each coast up and down.

It would make more than enough to set everyone involved with the wiggles up for retirement

Ehh… wonky sleep.

I put my knockoff oodie on β€˜delicates’ but accidentally washed it on 30 degrees instead of cold. Oops. The fleece has popcorned very slightly but a quick brush with the knockoff tangle teezer when it’s dry should fluff it up again.

I also saw my hair is longer than I realised which explains things. I’ve gone back to using a drop of oil through the ends/lengths before washing and that helps a lot. I still haven’t had an opportunity for a cut

Ps: Annoyed about the egg limits/issues as I was going to pass a lot of egg recipes on. Being as they’re a cheap good source of protein, cheaper than meat
