Went outside this morning and saw this

Checked my cameras. Yesterday at 4:30pm he came back, drove up the driveway, and tore up my yard on his illegal motorbike thing. I am absolutely kicking myself for not noticing sooner, because I actually heard the motorbike, but there's been a lot of goons recently and I'm near a roundabout. Lots of bikes have been joining around the roundabout, I assumed this was just a particularly loud one. Ugh

Ironically the last few nights I've actually started feeling safe. I was thinking "well nothing's happened in a few weeks, I'm probably safe". Then this happens.

Any advice, DT? Worth calling the police? I did manage to catch him on the camera, but he's in a hoodie and helmet, and it very narrowly missed the plates

The footage is enough for a police report. If you know who it is and can provide the police with enough information to identify the rider, then they will probably act on that.

Even if all you give them is an example of this bike doing this at 4am, when the guy is eventually apprehended, they'll pile this onto whatever he is charged with.

sorry who is he? I missed something.

Probably ex-housemate from hell

[–] Baku@aussie.zone 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Sorry, should've clarified. He's the old housemate that broke into my room and broke my things while I was away. Seems he's still pissed at me for one reason or another

I had a dream last night about water some sort of edible plant and it was starting to wilt by the end of the dream.

I remember also eating one leaf or stem or something and it was the most flavourful delicious thing I've ever eaten.

Being awake now and it being a vegetable I know that's a lie.

Trainer at my gym has been giving pre-workout to people in resealable bags to try. She really talked it up, so I am her next "customer".

The other night I thought "I wonder when Madame Web comes out online, I'm curious to see how bad it is" and then found out that it had been out for a while, I just somehow missed it. Odd considering how often I check recent releases.

Anyway I tried to watch it and I made it maybe 10 minutes in before I couldn't take it anymore. They were not kidding about it being bad. It has some of the worst acting I've seen since The Room, and I've seen Morbius.

I'm a big superhero movie/content fan but this will just be one of the very rare superhero things I'll never watch.

then i can guarantee my husband will put it on the telly, he has a knack of choosing bad shows

You should go watch the Borderlands movie in theatres. Apparently you'll have the whole place to yourself

[–] Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 2 points 3 months ago

The trailers for this look so bad

That classic balancing act of whether to take the kids to childcare and risk getting a call to come pick them up, or have them stay home and deal with them the whole time.

My boy is in better spirits now the rest of the family is up, so I'll take my chances taking them in

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.

Playing an old LP I found of Adrian Boult conducting Vaughn Williams/Tallis. This is a much more orchestral version than Neville Mariner.

This music gives me Indy and the Last Crusade chills. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04wJKXn3opY
