I'd heard that The Righteous Gemstones was a good show but I'd never thought to give it a shot. I thought the megachurch satire would be lost on me, not being from the US where this stuff is rife. I blasted through season 1 and it is great. Very much enjoying it.

They seem to have a running joke of making sure to get at least 1 exposed penis in a shot every episode. So if you're not into that, or if you are, now you know. There's doodles to be found here. Various real dude doodles not just porn star hogs too, which is nice for representation. You don't see that a lot.

I'm quite bored with the culture wars. Honestly though I think the government loves it because it distracts people from issues that are harder to solve ie economy energy climate change housing and so on.

It's a mercifully rare event now, but this afternoon I had to get on a packed tram in the city. And I thought omg you people are animals for heaven's sake brush your teeth and wear deodorant!

And since I was in the city, I was reflecting on the fact that sadly, the Melbourne CBD overall is lacking character. Maybe that's because I'm familiar with it but if I had someone visit Melbourne the CBD would not be the first place I take them.

Also I hate people and there's just too many fucking people in the CBD.

No pix tonight, but I cooked up a packet of 6 chicken & fetta sangers ready for ramen tomorrow. Only I've eaten four of them already. Sangers, that is. Am eyeing off the last two - will they last until tomorrow?

I have gymed. A distinct lack of cardio today, but my lifts are great

Cats have been snuggling on my shoulders and have only just let me up.

Image of lunch: a tomatoey stew type thing with capsicum, zucchini, onion, garlic, chilli, ginger, cherry tomatoes, broccolini and Briesling sardines, and passata, with a side of white rice. I added the sardines at the end, and seperated a serve with none to take to the office tomorrow for lunch!

Once again I've left the defrosting till too late. I'd be fired by now if I worked at a kitchen.

I got gelato. It's like I've been punched in the face by a passionfruit

One of the houses in my neighbourhood has put barbered wire around their property fences. Wtf. Is it a drug den? Do they have hostages I there? Creepy as fuck. I wonder if it’s even legal, I might check with the council. I’m in a pretty average suburb, nothing fancy but not low socioeconomic either.

So that, and the poor dog being stolen has got me thinking to get some security cameras. The choices are a bit overwhelming, and I’m not super tech savvy. Recommendations appreciated.

Hmm is it occupied? It might have been getting squatted or had copper thieves or something. Or you know a trap house.

Not on my bingo card for today was a director in the business trying to convince me that I don't understand my own car's registration. Sure, dude, sure.

Looking to travel in the west/northwest direction this weekend.

Last time we went east.

Any stop recommendations please, less than 100km from the Melbourne CBD and emphasis on nature/forests?

Currently have Mount Macedon and Lerderderg State Park in mind, but will probably just go to one of them.
