Harry Belafonte has been ear worming me this week.

Day-O and Jump In The Line keep getting stuck in my head.

I blame/thank Tim Burton

Already twice this weekend I've had near misses where I almost committed PT rage. Why is travelling around so infuriating

How would you all feel about me sending an invite to the folks at r/melbournementalhealth? I've noticed that their sub is still open and there might be a few people on there we know who don't know about us yet or know where to find us. Just an idea.

this group is "gates open come on in" as far as I'm concerned.

Decided to take a punt on a dirty spice chai. Yeah nah… won’t be doing that again. I’ll drink it don’t get me wrong, but it’s neither a coffee nor a spiced chai. And therefore it’s the worst of both worlds.

Kiddo is too big for size 000 but a little too small for 00. 00 has little grippy things on the feet, but says it’s 3 -6 months. Surely he’s not needing grip in the next couple of months?!

Air fryer owners. What is the cleaning situation like? I have not joined the air fryer revolution yet. It’s seems like they might be good, but is the time saved in cooking negated by time spent in cleaning? I’m thinking compared to using normal oven, which does not need cleaning every use and baking sheet is easy to wash or put in dishwasher.

Engaging in the masochistic activity of looking at apartments and imagine what it would like to live alone. It really really fkn irks me that someone on my salary in their late 20s can't afford a half decent apartment.

Wait till you’re actually paying a mortgage! It’s like you finally caught the wild horse and it’s actively trying to buck you off for being too new to have games the market like all the freakin boomers with 5 houses rented out that they do no maintenance on!

Watching a new to me movie everyday, not just lotr & hobbit 😏

Today was Good Will Hunting. I had been putting off watching this for decades because ... "reasons"

Yes, it hit as hard as I thought it would. But I'm older now and can see that movie was written by kids, genius kids but kids. 😉

It's true, easy work is relaxing, it leaves the mind free.

Luck is more important than most people know.

Choices in life aren't usually dichotomous, you don't have to choose between a person/people and opportunity. If you can, choose both.

Still shits me that society thinks smart people have a duty to self actualise and serve society. If there is duty the duty goes both ways. You want what brains can give, then give brains some support and respect their freedom of choice.

This is true. Find your people.

Culinary Experiment last night. Mixed in pineapple slivers with beef mince for the ultimate aloha burger.

Was ok. Needs a bit of “something”. teriyaki sauce perhaps?

Decided to start that sci-fi tv series Silo and the reviews mostly being about Rebecca Ferguson's accent kinda shit me. It doesn't detract from her acting or the show so I don't get what the big deal is. Like are people really upset she doesn't have that generic American accent and think that constitutes "bad acting".
