So @[email protected] posited an unorthodox application and orientation of onion to a sausage in bread, whereby cutting the onion in rings and encapsulating the snag results in very anchored onion in a sausage in bread situation. Useless Modern god was onion goes under as did the stud, GoonSeagoon was to the side I was on the fence but generally it goes on top. Or so I believed.

Ravens' method has proven to me tonight that us mere mortals have been doing it wrong the whole time. it is now a 360 degree experience.

You mad bastard. You receive a LemmyGold.

Although I was envisioning deep fried onion rings but that’s just the carnival food fairy whispering in my ear

I've been in full on security blanket mode today trying to block out reality. This is no good. Yes, some things aren't going well and it's overwhelming, but I have to exercise the options I do have and keep things in perspective rather than assuming the worst. This is just temporary.

Okay, out of bed and time to start listing out the things I can do to deal with the things causing me anxiety. #1 is start looking for more places. Time to get on fb after six months and start looking for lease breaks, whatever. Then time to just start looking for a cheap phone to tide me over this stupid total device ban kicking in with the 3G closure.

For all you Grateful Dead fans, Phil Lesh has died. Finally. More health problems than Medicare, but lasted to 84 which is a small miracle. Will be much missed.

I can't wait to take Ted on walks around the park. I will take so many pics. πŸˆβ€β¬›πŸ€“ I might take both if they can stop trying to kill each other for 30 minutes.

Woke up to a mangled drivers door lock this morning. They didn't get in. I'd've thought a rusty old van with cobwebs wasn't worth the effort. Hour after reporting it, Crime Scene Services dropped by for some photo's, no finger prints. See what happens.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

ain't the rust part, it's the van. They thought it was full of delicious fencible tools

Real estate agents walking around next door like vultures pretending like they're doing something all dressed in the exact same shitty suits.

E. Just overhead one say we should be able to push this one to the limit which calls for a rave choon

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

Insulting to vultures, vultures are actually useful and a big part of the ecosystem. REAs are just like those mozzies that carry malaria

I’m seriously contemplating cracking the first tinnie of the day right now, while I’m outside. Just stare at the weeds and sip.

Sip and stare session

Market shop complete.

I was given - did not purchase - a bunch of flowers, and I do not know why

My brain is fried from speaking in Japanese all night with old acquaintances I haven't seen in 12 years. But it was good to do something different. I decided at the last minute to pay for everyone's meals because I so rarely get interstate/international visitors and I had chosen the place to eat. No regrets, it felt good to pay it forward and leave them with a pleasant surprise. I'm sure they'll do the same when I visit them.

We saw a group at the restaurant (quietly) singing happy birthday for their friend - one of the people I was with looked on wistfully and commented on what a lovely group of friends that is. It made me think about how some things we take for granted are less commonly expressed in other cultures. But we all want that feeling of connection

Auction next door passed in. God I dislike REAs.. spruiking it like they're commentating on horse racing. It's not a horse race you donkey.

Hot takes from the dude though:

  1. "interest rates are only going down and property is only going up".

  2. Using Leos supermarket as a selling point.

  3. 'You're missing out on this quiet location'. Funny thing is this road has been discovered by people bypassing kew junction and about a zillion cars and tradies drove through. Add to that the neighbours kids 2 doors up were absolutely going off.

Been a while since I've been to an auction so might common now but strangely, he kicked off the bidding at $3m (obscene).. then raised it to $3.05m when there were no bids at 3 then asked for $3.1m when there were no bids at 3 or 3.05. I know the vendor can place a bid themselves but it looked really fkn stupid.

Cooked.

Wrote the first complete song for the next show. So far so good.

Didn't end up doing much gaming last night but that's OK. I didn't crash till around 2ish, and am wrecked today, so won't be going out except to get a haircut.

Of all the games I quickly tried out, probably final fantasy rebirth is the main one and another one called Chernobylite which looks super fun.

Beef and mushroom ragu followed by apple crumble has been successfully made and eaten. Glass of wine in hand. Night in the couch in front of tv ahead.

Hanging out on the back porch eating lunch with a mishcat while she rolls around on the concrete like a fat beige whore, finish up, do my usual call whistle and she obediently trots back inside.

promptly hear from over the fence "Bloody hell, how did you manage that??" And apparently we was watched.

dirt moved, sifted, moved, dispersed, moved, stacked, bagged, etc etc etc. Rolling around in it while the hubs deep cleans the bathroom and vacs the rugs. Now to fuck off until it's a bit cooler, covid reset my photosensitivity again
