Little miss was crying today and I was concerned. But I forgot to block off the chair seat and the second I turned my back she was up there. Sheโ€™s going to be jarring her joints jumping up and down from that!

Edit: I was going to buy her pet ramps but she goes out of her way to jump off to the side to avoid any padding or ramps I improvise. She just wants to jump!

Could it be sheโ€™s okay, and is just crying because she wants extra wet food and to get up on furniture sheโ€™s not supposed to?

I take it all very seriously at her age though.

Expedition 33 spoiler:

spoilerI BEAT SIMON. HOLY FUCK YES.

I was so apprehensive about it because, really, it's an optional fight and I was sad about not figuring that out about it before I finished the game because tbh I didn't realise it was optional so I finished the game going "wait what about Simon? Who is he?" (thanks to some accidental ONTD comments and otherwise) but then going back and finding him was very cool and his fight was the hardest thing I found and I hated it for that fact alone but also liked that it gave me something to grind towards (WoW player in her element) and omg the celebration when I killed the bastard... though I could listen to his soundtrack forever.


Sidenote: Boyo is playing Dune and absolutely loving it!! I'm meanwhile pouring another glass of pinot noir.

Third night of getting less than 8 hours of sleep. Only got five hours of sleep and I have to go to work ๐Ÿ˜ญ probably because I drank coffee at like 2pm yesterday and used a giant PC.

My lips are getting so dry.

I picked up one of those tinted lip balms to try and itโ€™s quite moisturising โ€ฆbut I didnโ€™t look and it contains castor oil. Which can be very drying and is a known irritant for me. DOH

Red Rooms (2024) movie review

A French Canadian psychological thriller (horror?)

A story about a womanโ€™s obsession with an extremely disturbing murder trail. The accused is a man who tortures and kills young girls while live streaming on the dark web.

Itโ€™s a hideous and creepy pretext for a horror movie, however there is absolutely no gore, or jump scare, or boogie man under the bed.

Itโ€™s a story about Kelly-Anne (Juliette Gariรฉpy). A very smart and attractive woman whose entire life starts to revolve around this trail and her fascination with the killer, the victims family, other serial killer groupies and true-crime junkies.

She is cold, calculated, and technically proficient. A cross between Patrick Bateman and Lisbeth Salander.

In the end, Kelly-Anne is able to facilitate some modicum of justice, but at a sadistic cost. The real mystery here is not the killer in the courtroom but what Kelly-Anneโ€™s motivations are.

This isnโ€™t a movie with clear answers and that might turn people off. Itโ€™s a slow burn. Itโ€™s ambiguous.

And Iโ€™m still thinking about it.

It doesnโ€™t feel bone chillingly cold outside tonight for a change.

Pasta bake for dins, had some frozen leftover meat sauce and making the meal more interesting by adding lots of cheese and baking.

I need to buy a present for a 1st birthday Iโ€™m going to next week (for a boy). I was thinking some clothes (bigger size he can grow into) and maybe a kidโ€™s book? Any other ideas? Budget is $50 - $75.

My go to for that age group was bath toys, simple puzzles, those hard cardboard paged books, simple musical instruments (but nothing that's a choking hazard). At that age it's gotta be stuff that's ok to put in their mouth. You're on the money with bigger clothes: suddenly you're dressing them one morning and their clothes don't fit anymore!

The noisiest possibly toy in your budget.

Facebook managed to create duplicate listings so I woke up to a bunch more "is this available?" messages ๐Ÿคฃ No. No it is not.

I managed a nice late sleep in this morning. I intend to do very little today. Maybe a nice meandering dog walk, mixing up the new batch of dog food, and I should rescue the terrarium from the car as it is probably wondering where all the light's gone.
