Wow. I am wrecked. That was a hectic week and I have nothing left. Want to be productive round the house...want to go out in the sun. Could barely muster up the energy to make lunch. Bed and movies this afternoon I think.

Disheveled man with a hole in each hand came in asking for a job, said he's a carpenter by trade. Told him if he gets along with the piranhas he gets the job. He said he used to hang out with fishermen a lot. Will see if he lasts.

Also has a bit of history with providing fish dinners for 5,000 people from a very low baseline. If I was the piranhas, I think I'd be a bit worried. Keep an eye on him.

Did my first blood donation today. Usually do plasma donations. So much faster, only took 6 mins for 470 mL but 3 months until I can donate again.

Owing to recent work encounters, I've had this in my mind all day:

Heheh, oops. So, Reddit for mobile sucks ass. I'd read my dumb ex's message, but it kept showing up as unread. I'm really uptight about notification icons so just wanted it gone. Anyway, went in to try and mark it as read or whatever, and got caught up in looking at gif reactions. Sent one...

I mean, it worked, but was unintended. Whatever.

This is the gif for anyone who wants a lol

I hadn't had Ribena since I was a little tacker. It just slipped my mind for all those years.

Grabbed a bottle a few days ago and I honestly can't stop drinking it lol

[โ€“] Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 6 points 7 months ago

It tastes pretty nice but has a LOT of sugar in it. I stopped drinking it when my boys outgrew it, and I discovered that the Tasmanian factory that makes it was owned by Her Late Majesty Lizzie as a personal investment. Now owned by KCIII I think but don't know for certain.

Well the man has gone to bed sick so I've organised a girl Friday to step in. At some stage tonight the little speakers are gonna stop working and I don't know how the big boys work. I mean I've got an idea but that involves a lot of button pressing.

We still haven't negotiated a price but I know it's gonna cost me dearly.

I had a very non-traditional hot cross bun for breakfastโ€ฆ A sticky lamington type oneโ€ฆ TBH it was nice.

Gotta be a record for me, think I just spent around 3+ hours at the NGV. I am wrecked, but I guess it doesnโ€™t help I havenโ€™t had lunch yet.

Loving the sunshine, but itโ€™s ultra hazy today.

What are we all doing, DT fam?

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

resting, listening to music, reading a bit, went for a walk in the park where I picked up some feathers for Ted Cat. ( he loves them and they are now tucked under his tummy while he sleeps ) Have some reading in my Depression help book. ๐Ÿ˜ŸI've been suffering terribly the past week and making it hard for Mr Seagoon ๐Ÿ˜žI'm so sorry.

Moobeans lies horizontal and cuddles so much she pushes me out of bed. I think I need to buy a bigger one so we can both get in

I tried that with Topes, she still ended up with 3/4 of the bed :D

TIL I can put this in my car and can play Spotify from my phone.

I swear the world is keeping important lessons from me. What else do I need to learn friends? Hmu.

I only found out Spotify has audiobooks the other day lol

You can get ones that plug into the cigarette lighter for power and have a usb port to charge your phone.

Does anyone else get a weird "uncanny valley" vibe from AI art/voice/music?

I don't know how else to describe it. Especially the visual art. I fucking hate this word so much, but it's a bit "ick"

The kid's playing Call of Duty Modern warfare 2 campaign remastered on the laptop. Me says "Can you projected it onto the tv to make it bigger?". Her eyes light up "I'll give it a go" she says. That's the spirit. And yep it happens. Lol.

Was just thinking how nice it was that none of the neighbours have busted out their power tools and just like that.. a whipper snipper starts next door..

11:20am... it was a good run.

If you were to buy decorations for a party with the theme "alice in wonderland upside down tea party" what the hell would you buy because I have no fucking idea.

[โ€“] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 6 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

I'd buy teapots, cups and saucers, lots of decks of cards to spread around the tables. And confetti.

Argylle got shitty reviews but it's a solid flick IMO.

Did not see the midway twist at all

[โ€“] oztrin@aussie.zone 4 points 7 months ago

Freezing in the bedroom and I had some paper to burn, so I got up and lit a fire. The cats are very happy campers.
Thinking about some hot cross buns.

[โ€“] bacon@aussie.zone 4 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Piranhas are all there and working, but some of them seem more identical with each other than usual. In other news, man with hole in hands brought in the best fish & chips to feed the whole crew.

[โ€“] Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 4 points 7 months ago

I still reckon keep an eye on him. He's been up before the authorities more than once. No smoke without fire.

[โ€“] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 points 7 months ago (4 children)

I feel this is a sledge on our good Lord Saviour who delivered us hot cross buns and Easter eggs but I do not understand the piranhas reference.

Friday already? I haven't been able to really do anything since Monday so have been wiped out for a whole week. The previous one was brutal. Haven't been able to go out looking for the ginger ninja as I've just been managing myself and my cat. When I'm back on my feet I'll try to do the occasional sweep.

I've given the pudding the Nexgard and will shove the balls of yarn and contents of the mending basket into sealed space bags so any fleas will die in there.
