Halfway through Animal Kingdom S2 so far. Idk, it's not terrible by far but it's not really gripping my attention much either, I fast forward through all the alpha male stuff. I like Shawn Hatosy though and everyone says he does great in all 5 seasons so I guess I'll keep going

E: also I'm so over this heat, it's driving me mad. Literally the only silver lining being that there's less acclimatisation needed for my upcoming trip.

E2: okay wow that scene of Pope and the bible study woman was pretty unexpectedly hot though

Met the new neighbours who are moving in soon. 4 cars and 12 people got out lol. Guessing they'll be loud going by them leaving their music blaring from their cars as they were parked and yelling over it to talk to each other. It's a very quiet court.

I don't mind at all as my little studio down here can go LOUDER I hope they like poorly made drum and bass.

They seem nice though and it's good to see the place finally getting used after 6 months vacant.

I planned a friend outing for this evening and honestly I don’t know why I bother. I’ve been getting slow responses during planning, slower than usual, feels like I’m forcing these people to hang out with me. They can say no? Maybe I’m reading too much into this but it’s consistent with other things that have happened recently which make it feel like we’re distancing. Don’t say I didn’t try if these friends aren’t in my life in future. I don’t even want to go anymore.

Oh man, I unleashed on the broom rider (MIL) last night. An awkward start to the long weekend.

[–] LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

So many people don't stand up to their MILs/FILs. As a kid, my mum always used to complain to my sister and I about things her MIL would say or do, and my dad would either stick up for his mum, or pretend that nothing was wrong.

Thank you. It was something I really needed to get off my chest. Maybe not the best time to do that during a family gathering though.

broom rider

Shouldn't laugh but lol. Seems like easter is just one of those times of the year that gets tense for some reason.

It's Friday, I've been helldiving with mates, had a few whiskeys, and it's Easter with the family & egg hunt with the kids shortly. Things could be much worse than this.

Letting myself just relax and have some fun today.

I have this whole issue with hyper independence, where I don't let myself relax and always need to be productive.

Well for today, fuck that. No house cleaning, no learning IT stuff. Just video games, cat cuddles and music.

Biblically speaking, today's the day they all ate chocolate bunnies right?

[–] bacon@aussie.zone 2 points 6 days ago

Yes they were sad Jesus died so they ate chocolate to cheer themselves up

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 9 points 1 week ago

Real bunnies today, chocolate ones tomorrow.

Pest species. Nature's way of keeping the rabbit plague under control the delicious way.

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 6 points 1 week ago

Father, why hast thou eaten all the chocolate bunnies? or something like that

[–] bacon@aussie.zone 9 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I'm picking up an armchair for free from Marketplace this morning. Similar style wood frame to my couch, and with a new cover with the same fabric I've been recovering mine in it should blend in fairly well. This will solve an issue in furniture placement in the new place, I will be able to have the couch and a single chair in the dining/lounge, and two chairs in the sewing/sitting room. Or if something goes wrong and I don't end up getting this place I'll have an extra chair I don't have room for 🀣

I think I'll sell my buffet unit. It's a really good solid piece of furniture that makes me feel like I should find it a place, but it really doesn't fit anywhere. Plus it is really heavy and because it is so long has limited options on where in a house it can go. Which makes it hard to get out too, it has to go out the back and out the side gate, which means I would have to lock away Mr Woof, traumatise Miss Meow and let a stranger into the main area of my house. I might just get the movers to put it in the carport when I move, then I can sell it as unattended pickup.

After having it recommended constantly for years, I'm finally reading Lonesome Dove. I do believe it lives up to the hype...

Been binging Severance over the past few days.

I love it, but what in the ever living fuck is happening.

I think I prefer the mornings to the late evenings.

Have been crashing fairly early the last 2 nights despite being able to stay up late.

[–] just_kitten@aussie.zone 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Good morning, in further public holiday brainrot developments I went down the path of reading about Zizians (already vaguely knew about rationalism and MIRI and that insanity). The intelligent mind truly can go to some insane places. What the fuck is this shit
