Melbourne

I think I fucked up with the birdseed idea. She will not move for anything! So now I administer treats at the back door:

Holy fuck there was a car accident right in front of my house. I've never seen a car crash in person before, it was louder than I thought

Nobody seems to be hurt

Mr Procrastinata and I are on holiday in Germany. We’ve arrived in Frankfurt and it’s -2° this morning! Heading for Würzburg where it’s snowing. Winter’s here!

Headache! Need moar water!

EDIT: possibly make that need moar RATs, Boyo running 38.8. Swear words!

So I live near the carmelite monastery and just witnessed two nuns buy an UNHOLY amount of cheese and crackers at Leos.

They weren't messing around for a monday,

Read that 7-11 in Australia has been bought over by the Japanese parent company. I almost never go to convenience stores myself, but hope this means Australian 7-11s will up their game. Japanese kombini food is legit.

Dunno if this is gonna register for non-car people, but I need to get this off my chest. I finally got my old car back from the mechanic (not the Mazda, this is the one I sold to cover the Mazda's debt). Its new owners collect it next weekend so it I took her out for a farewell drive. This car man... it... shit im gonna tear up again. This car I've had for close to 10 years. None of the previous cars lasted 1/4 of that time. It's almost the most stable relationship of my whole life! I got this car when I was in my early 20s and it was the start of turning my life around. And I loved it, with everything in my heart. It wasn't the fastest or the best or anything. But it was reliable, it was sexy and it was fun. And it was my baby! You cant even buy a manual version of it any more, She's rare now!

In every way my new Kia is vastly superior. But damn I will miss that little car. The only way I'm gonna get through this is because I've promised myself one day, before my 40th birthday (years away) I'm gonna go buy the bigger sportier brother of what I had. One day I'll be back. But until then, I'll still think of her.

If you call and I don't pick up, leave a message and wait to be called back. Don't call 3 more times in the space of two hours. Seriously, some people have no shame. Calling me more only makes me want to pick up less.

Sky pretty

I better check my privilege but I can't remember the last cinema I sat in which didn't have recliner seats but I am sat in one right now. Garbage Village Cinemas was the only cinema showing Godzilla Minus One on a big screen 👎

Welcome to Numbat Facts.

Numbats do not drink, they obtain all their water from food.

Send STOP to unscscribe.

Heading off for 11 days interstate on Thursday and I'm overcome with panic that I won't finish this work project before I go. Every time I write another section I find more issues that need addressing. Fucking documentation, man... There's a hard limit to the number of hours I can spend on this anyway, and I think I've used 70% of it. So I'm going to have to just accept that it'll be incomplete and that's it. Trying not to go down the "you're mid 30s and still can't estimate your time properly, who would ever trust you in a job" route and relive all the failures and criticisms at this job - just gotta wear it and end this motherfucking chapter of my life already.

Also was very anxious that I have to do a whole bunch of chores before I leave, and I have stuff on Tuesday and Wednesday night... but I've made my packing list, vacuumed the house, now going to make the goddamn vegan kung pao chicken I've procrastinated for 6 days, and tomorrow I'm going to do all the laundry then pack.

I got this. I definitely got this

I haz new old LPs from op shop 😊 some rare ballet music from the Bolshoi ballet, a weird hawaiian music LP, some modern classical. 7 albums, cost $12 👍

It’s only art if it’s well hung..

Ugh, came home from my Japan trip to find my roomate has thrashed the stove. He claims that he "burnt hand and dropped a pot on it"...

He didn't even bother to clean up as well, saying that I'm a recovering alcoholic, who's too sick. Well hire a cleaner then. It's pretty poor form not cleaning, after I clean the place up before I go away.

bot is like me, hates the weekend

Ted Cat is constantly getting under my feet. I will have to train him that he only gets food if he sits by the cat bowl area.

More difficult bullshit has piled on (the kind I generally leave vague because this is the internet) and of course it's the ongoing type, generates paperwork and followup tasks not to mention stress, and is the direct result of other people being absolute scumbags.

I'm working very hard to keep it together because I'd still like to live my stupid little life but am absolutely screaming inside.

Not looking for sympathy, just having a bit of a vent. I'm so tired.

Can today just hurry up already, I want it to be home time. Then it can slow down and take it's time.

Listening to Liszt Hungarian rhapsodies and all I can hear is loony toons/Carl Stalling

I bought a Waterpik flosser thing a couple of years back (maybe a few years back now) and it has been sitting in my cupboard still sealed until this very day when I finally found myself curious enough to try it out. Turns out there's actually 2 of them in there! One "Ultra" and one "Nano" for smaller bathrooms/travel. I must have been in a very interesting mental space when I bought it because I had no idea.

It's this:

I was sceptical how it could be strong enough to floss just using water in a benchtop machine but it packs a bit of punch! Even made by gum bleed in one spot. I can't imagine a scenario where I'll take the smaller one traveling so I don't know what to do with that. Maybe my parents would like it. Anyway, exciting stuff.

Just installed the new showerhead I bought from Costco. Going to give it a test run in a minute but so far it seems alright. That's about as 'handyman' as I can get with this rented apartment so the testosterone is up. Job well done, Brad 🤝

Also, I just got an email from an Executive Casino Host from Treasure Island in Las Vegas. Apparently I warrant having my very own Executive Casino Host now which means I'll likely get comps if I go back there and book through her. I have mixed feelings about this.

I got the Petcircle refund. Between the voucher and the refund that also comped me for the bag I didn't get from Petcircle. Note to self, leave an online record when buying things.

I should have emailed about Miss Melbcat's Wednesday pickup earlier today, will do that now. I wasted most of today just kind of struggling before doing a few light garden chores. But I'm chipping away at everything.

This possum or whatever it is is still reeking 😷
