Spent $35 AUD taking cabs to the cinema (can't drive, high), was enjoying what must be the best cinema I've ever sat in. Was going to rave about it on here once the movie was finished but 3/4 through the film the projector died. Got given a refund for my ticket ($5) but overall I'm taking an L today.
I did get a free donut from Dunkin' so it's not a complete bust!
According to daycare, it very probably would be something else. Supposedly like half of Melbourne has it. The wife’s already in bed. I think she was maybe awake for 5 hours today? If that.
You’re only seeing a small portion of that friend, and bar guy isn’t with her, he’s with you. Please be kinder to yourself - you are not a piece of shit, thank you very much. You are exactly who you are, with all of your interests, your own way of viewing the world and others. Comparison is the thief of joy – celebrate who YOU are.
Hope you get some iron, some sleep, some water. You're rad!!
I totally understand how you feel. But he's obviously choosing you for a reason.
It's better to have a partner who isn't into exactly the same stuff as you because it can get pretty stale. But even within that there can be differences. Like my partner and I like anime, but we don't watch the same genre (though we do watch Demon Slayer and Jujutsu Kaisen together). And similar with video games, there are some we enjoy together, but I don't enjoy games like Destiny or card games, and they're not a huge fan of The Sims, or visual novels. But we both hype each other up for our interests and even ones we don't have any major interest in. It'd be pretty boring to have a partner be into the exact same thing as you I reckon.
News flash: most couples have zero in common with each other. Common interests are great and all, but they don't make a relationships. Shared experiences and building interests together is really what counts. I would say there is probably a good reason why this bar guy and his friend are not together, despite how much they have in common. There's also the societal notion that women and men can't just be friends which is completely not true. Don't get in your head about this.
You're clearly not ready to give up on this thing you have going. So don't. Maybe it won't work out. Maybe it will. But whatever the secret sauce of successful relationships is, it's more than the same tastes in everything or some formula you can calculate. Don't try to analyze why you two are together. Just ride the wave and see where it leads.
You were there for him when he needed it. That's a pretty solid foundation, hopefully he's there for you when you need him. Taste is personal and changes over time. Create some new memories. Don't stress about the girl who he has a taste connection with, but you can always ask him about her or become friends with her too.
Sometimes the emotional release from a really good, dense therapy session is just... The whole body feels it. Something has been unblocked and is moving... but there is no fucking way I'm going to be able to do much else today. I arranged to meet up with a friend tonight, I would've asked for a rain check if it weren't for the fact that I will probably have to give back the car in 6 days and I might not see her again for another 3 weeks until I finish housesitting, and all things considered it's better for me to stay connected in person. (I don't need to cook anything at least as I'll be heating up premade food).
Think I'll lie down and nap for a while - I feel like I'm giving into maladaptive procrastination by giving myself permission to put off everything else till tomorrow, including work.
But: it's nothing mission critical, nobody else is relying on me for it, and I need to remember that nobody is going to be severely damaged by my doing that. On balance, this is a wise and intelligent and responsible thing to do given the bigger picture. Good afternoon. 💤
I love those sessions. It's nourishing for the soul. And the feeling usually lingers (at least it does for me) for a while, unlike a run-of-the-mill session which often just feels like a tune up. Having a session where things just seem to click.... yeap, that shit is top notch.
Update on the car situation. Not good. Gotta spend about 3k to just get diagnostics done. Initial quotes for repairs (assuming what we think is wrong with it is wrong) 20k. And that’s parts alone. So yeah, facing the very real prospect of selling it for parts and writing off a 17k asset for like maybe a grand or 2.
There's always the prospect of the car getting stolen and disappeared. Just be sure to have all GPS units and such in proper working order, just in case of course.
No joke, I fired up the vpn the other day to google how one might go about that. Mostly out of curiosity. But even if I parked it at Dandenong station with the key in it I can’t garantee someone can steal if since it may not run long enough to be stolen.
have been having an overall shitty week, but made myself a beautiful, colourful veggie stir-fry for lunch, and took the dogs I'm looking after for a long walk, so am overall feeling positive. Is it the weekend yet?
Our local council (Kingston) has released an app to tell you what bins to put out depending on which collection week it is. The app is called 'Binston' lol
I feel like this is a solution to a problem nobody has
Exercises have been completed. I've finished another 30 day exercise challenge! Trying to be cool with myself about my diminishing but still there belly. I'm a middle aged woman whose parents were morbidly obese for most of their adult lives. I'm doing pretty well all things considered. Lots of birthdays at work at the moment, therefore lots of cakes etc, which aside from a social sliver I've managed to avoid. Gonna be hard for my 50th though, coming up in a month and a half or so. I have no plans, not very excited or enthusiastic about it.
Flying solo tonight, Mrs_Owl is in the city for farewell drinks. I've got pizza dough going in the bread-maker ready for some free-range salami and cheese, and a bunch of limes for a cheeky Margarita or two.
Mainsplaining amirite? I've been told regularly to expect to meet sick people in AA. I'm sober, I'm not a fucking desperate loser though. I have everything I need. I've achieved some amazing things in my life. I need to work through some issues sure, but I'm in a very good position to do because I worked life my way and set myself up to be in this position. I'm so over the gay men though in AA. Absolute pigs most of them. Then someone questions my misandry and who? A man of course. Sorry guys, we're feminists because we have to be.
I'm pretty sure I'm leaving this place too pretty soon. Subtle transphobia I'm supposed to police? That's what the mods are for right? The more we need to deal with transphobia alone, the more it harms us. Reliving traumatic events perpetuates them. Being told (by a man) not to speak my mind, cos hey, it might not be nice and I signed some oath to be all flowers and love. I was basically told by a mod not to stand up for myself, which is 100% my natural response. I understand this is supposed to be a nice fluffy space but we're all here because we lack some connection and need places to be able share what's deeper going on as well. It's just so fucking easy to dismiss female and trans issues because that's the status quo right guys? We've been vilified in the press for many years and it's getting worse and you expect me to be the person who should point it out to you? Sorry, like I said, my misandry grows. I don't want it to, but it's a natural response to being marginalised and diminished by men every damn day.
So, I'm pretty sure you're talking about me. I don't want that exchange to make you feel I dismissed you or your feelings in any way. I was not telling you not to stand up for yourself. I was saying that we don't really want people telling others to "fuck off and die". I also said that depending on context, I'd have probably sided with you even in that example, because we absolutely don't want any sort of bigotry or disrespect finding a home here, either. My response had nothing to do with my gender - nor yours for that matter.
I stand my what I said there, too: If anyone is being a jerk to you - hit that "report" button. You are valued and wanted here, and anyone being transphobic is not. It is as simple as that.
Thanks Nath, look it's not perfect here, but its so much better than everywhere else and I'm glad you took the time to write a measured response. I still don't want to have to report things which moderation can pick up, but I will. What we want we don't always get.
I stand by my feminist rant though. Seriously, men treat me awfully. Always fucking have, it's not just post transition and I've always been a feminist. I know men don't like hearing it because a lot of them are very good exceptions to the rule. But while we face misogyny almost every day, one whiff of misandry and I'm questioned about it, by a man. Women just groan usually.
So a job that I applied for back when work shit was hitting the fan a few weeks ago, called me this week and I had a phone interview with them yesterday. Some how made it through even though I felt like a complete imposter. Today I have to do a psychometric test and not sure what to expect. The company is one that is a ethical employer and has a solid reputation, so i think the psychometric test is to make sure I would be a good cultural fit before the actual first round interview. Arggggggh so nervous.
Was having this same dilemma just yesterday and dumblederp (I have no idea how to @ people here) put me onto Brotherhood Books. The prices are pretty reasonable and the shipping isn't to bad either since they're Australian.
Cutting back down my work at work days to 2 days a week. 3 days a week was too much and I don’t need to impress anyone any more (been at the new job for 3 months and I figured that’s long enough to show I can fit in the team and do my work )
I’ve cooked the lamb mince just as it’s ticked over to the expiration day.
A little worried but I had put it immediately into the coldest part of the fridge on arrival and it was there 3 days until I had spare energy. It then got cooked thoroughly.
I know I've screamed about it before and I'm just screaming to the choir. But God, the groceries getting more and more expensive is actually doing my head in. For a company that bemoans about stealing sure makes a lot of profit...
Meat guide said it’s fine to cook meat the day of expiry, so the lamb mince is good to go. Chilled overnight and what the cat didn’t eat now has been frozen.
Melbcat is going nuts for it. She’s just kept asking for more.
(If you’re asking why a cat gets mince? The food she needs is $2.40 for an 85g can, where the same amount of the mince is $1.27. Chicken would be even cheaper if she could have it. Neither of those are nutritionally complete but her dry food is and I can add taurine and vegetables if needed.)
Have had my swim, and am now going a bit vintage with curried sausages. I’ve got two sausages and some curry powder to finish, so I’m going to combine the concepts
The reason being I’m not able to regulate my own body temperature properly.
I had plans to have a tiny solar car battery to at least run some cooling or keep phone charged in blackouts or brownouts but I haven’t had the energy to troubleshoot low output or fix some wires that got damaged. And even it might not even be enough power to run cooling.
I have one or two similar, good but really slow to charge.
I’m mainly worried about being able to run cooling because of the poor design of my flat and the fact that disability makes me vulnerable to heatstroke.
Couple of little USB power packs and a little USB fan or 2 would make all the difference. Block out blinds and keep the freezer stick with an ice cube tray. Absolute worst case a cold Facewasher or feet in some cold water can make all the difference!
Sorry about this dinner photo. I decided to add a hash brown for curiosity’s sake and boy, what thing this stacked. I had to press down hard on the jaffle maker to get it down.
Barking dog was barking so instead of trying to sleep through it, I decided to get up and go for a walk before starting work. The sunshine was lovely. Tired but a nice start to the day.
Was looking up mould as a medicine and found this website - looks almost as much fun as wikipedia as a workplace timewaster - owlcation.com - articles look sound and a good place to find names to search further.
My recycling bin didn’t get collected (it was out) so I let the council know… it’s remained uncollected for days now. I’ve been wheeling it out each day and chucking other people’s rubbish back out before wheeling it back (if I don’t it will helpfully be filled with literal garbage or dog poop by dickheads).
If it’s going to be collected fortnightly then please don’t miss… At this point I may either need to go Karen or give up and wait for the full month
It’s not going Karen if you’ve already asked nicely for a service you’re paying for and you’ve been told it’ll be sorted but it still hasn’t been. That’s called holding people accountable for doing their jobs.
On top of this, if you receive a new concession card tell your energy provider; they sometimes offer discounts on electricty for concession card holders. If you receive a new concession card with a new expiry, also let your energy provider know so your concession with them stays current.
I'm planning father's day meal. I'm thinking crispy airfried chicken wings with a honey hot secret sauce, rice and maybe corn on the cob. Of course things could change. Might end up eating crumpets.
Grey clouds loom overhead, in my head.
Rolling, rumbling, fill me up with dread;
Melancholic dreams as I lay in my bed.
Dread looms overhead, in my head.
Can we keep faith in what is said
When all the news fills me up with dread?
I turn away but clouds loom overhead,
Melancholic dreams in my head.
The end of the world happens in my bed,
Every night they fill me up with dread.
Intruding thoughts wonder if I'm dead
As grey clouds loom overhead.
Lying on the couch playing mobile games,
I'm fumbling every one of interactions.
I don't know if I want you to feel the same,
But I'm paralyzed by fear of rejection,
Projections, predictions, predilections.
You dont message me like you once did,
That's okay, I know I'm extraordinarily mid.
I'm average cloaked in silly rhyming prose,
You think this poem is about us, I suppose.
I got my first Temu order yesterday. The kinetic sculpture looks better quality than I expected, I got some nice decorative solar lights and a few little decorations to hide in the garden. Also got a set of solar mushroom lights which look awful, and a decorative plastic stake that was squashed and broken. Rather happy with the return process - I put through a return for the broken item and mushrooms, immediately accepted with no need to actually return.
I don't usually know what medication is for. Sometimes I can guess - I recognise many chemo drugs by name, for example - but in this case I have no idea
Had a bit of a think about this. 'mould' was once a generic term for topsoil - I wonder if the person is doing broad spectrum microbiota therapy. Like, rebuild your biome with topsoil to cure allergies, intolerances etc. like using hookworms to treat gluten allergy.
boi is starving, dinner time any minute
::: spoiler spoiler :::
Feed him
He is wasting away, how could you make him wait?!
Is Bill cat having a tanty?
no, he's just being as dramatic as a silent movie star 😂
Such a gorgeous gentleman!
death by starvation averted
Teefs!

Oh and I saw this place which pleases me:
Office is out of normal milk so having to drink low fat milk. Thots n prayers for me plz🙏🙏
RIP thot 💀
I recently bought skim milk by accident and I swear it was just cloudy water.
May I have a thot as well? Hold the prayers, please.
Blurgh. Our office always runs out of full cream 2 days before the new delivery and it suuuuucks.
Work inbox is overflowing due to utter stupidity of some co-workers.
Time to take some tactical sickies next week to let them sort their own shit out.
The murder would ensure that future mistakes are avoided though.
It's a toss up
Just hang out with a small child for 5 minutes and it won’t be a tactical. There’s something horrible going around atm.
My hayfever has been acting up, but for all I know it could be something else.
Also, I tend not to hang around small children due to the creep factor ;)
According to daycare, it very probably would be something else. Supposedly like half of Melbourne has it. The wife’s already in bed. I think she was maybe awake for 5 hours today? If that.
Mate, I wish you and your missus all the best. You're not having an easy time with anything right now.
Cheers! It’s gotta get better soon. And if we’re building kiddo up to be stronger then it’s worth some suffering.
I don't have any advice but that can be a difficult feeling.
Big internet hugs.

super big hugs
and let him choose, right now he is choosing you 💗 get to sleep, take some iron 🤗
( also, having exactly the same taste is over rated, if you were exactly the same you wouldn't have anything to talk about, how boring is that!? )
You were there for him when he needed it. That's a pretty solid foundation, hopefully he's there for you when you need him. Taste is personal and changes over time. Create some new memories. Don't stress about the girl who he has a taste connection with, but you can always ask him about her or become friends with her too.

My dinner tonight
Prawn stir fry with garlic rice and a side of kimchi.
Is that egg sauce with those prawns?
Also yum!
No it's a soy sauce mixture with cornflour
Update on the car situation. Not good. Gotta spend about 3k to just get diagnostics done. Initial quotes for repairs (assuming what we think is wrong with it is wrong) 20k. And that’s parts alone. So yeah, facing the very real prospect of selling it for parts and writing off a 17k asset for like maybe a grand or 2.

challenge accepted
Mate if you can steal a car that randomly just dies…. I’ll be equally impressed and eternally grateful!
have been having an overall shitty week, but made myself a beautiful, colourful veggie stir-fry for lunch, and took the dogs I'm looking after for a long walk, so am overall feeling positive. Is it the weekend yet?
I think we're having the same week. Mine is, sadly, dogless however.
Really trying to manifest Friday afternoon already but it aint' happening.
Our local council (Kingston) has released an app to tell you what bins to put out depending on which collection week it is. The app is called 'Binston' lol
I feel like this is a solution to a problem nobody has
I am sick, so initially read the council as “Klingon”. Glory to your bins!
Qa'pla!!!
I wasn't ready for that
Sigh unzips
Might have to give it a try myself and see if it's handy enough.
I 100% appreciate an app like this because I regularly forget and the neighbours don't always get it right either!

Cool, my downvoter is also an incel.
So a job that I applied for back when work shit was hitting the fan a few weeks ago, called me this week and I had a phone interview with them yesterday. Some how made it through even though I felt like a complete imposter. Today I have to do a psychometric test and not sure what to expect. The company is one that is a ethical employer and has a solid reputation, so i think the psychometric test is to make sure I would be a good cultural fit before the actual first round interview. Arggggggh so nervous.
What's a psychometric test?
urgh, why are people selling second hand used books for ridiculous prices? We need an australian version of thriftbooks.
Was having this same dilemma just yesterday and dumblederp (I have no idea how to @ people here) put me onto Brotherhood Books. The prices are pretty reasonable and the shipping isn't to bad either since they're Australian.
Sadly they don't have what I am looking for. But they are pretty good.
Welp I guess it’s a beer for dinner 🥴
Have toast.
With butter and self preservation.
To your health!
Eating Kettle chilli chips with a mouth ulcer. Fuck yeh.
Pain and pleasure are two sides of the same coin, you little masochist you.
Mmmm, suffering
Fight fire with fire 🔥
Cutting back down my work at work days to 2 days a week. 3 days a week was too much and I don’t need to impress anyone any more (been at the new job for 3 months and I figured that’s long enough to show I can fit in the team and do my work )
I’ve cooked the lamb mince just as it’s ticked over to the expiration day.
A little worried but I had put it immediately into the coldest part of the fridge on arrival and it was there 3 days until I had spare energy. It then got cooked thoroughly.
As long as it passed the sniff test...
That’s the thing… raw meat always smells bad to me so I genuinely can’t tell.
I know I've screamed about it before and I'm just screaming to the choir. But God, the groceries getting more and more expensive is actually doing my head in. For a company that bemoans about stealing sure makes a lot of profit...
Yeah it's a fucking joke now. A buck more here. A buck more there. And then a special has 30c off. You can stick it you stingy cunts.
Once again blown away by a whole kilo of chicken drumsticks costing $5 at Aldi.
You could say that deal might actually take off.
E: oh thought you said wings. Still, a deal like that if it runs for long enough will definitely have legs.
I did say wings by accident, edited in like 10 seconds though, you're quick! Second pun just as good. Double points 🥇🥈
🥧🍺

Stressing about the reliability of the electrical grid this summer.
The reason being I’m not able to regulate my own body temperature properly.
I had plans to have a tiny solar car battery to at least run some cooling or keep phone charged in blackouts or brownouts but I haven’t had the energy to troubleshoot low output or fix some wires that got damaged. And even it might not even be enough power to run cooling.
So angry at the fuckwits that kept refusing and blocking renewables because coal was more profitable. Now we’re left scrambling and as always the elderly, very young, poor or disabled will cop it hardest.
I have one or two similar, good but really slow to charge.
I’m mainly worried about being able to run cooling because of the poor design of my flat and the fact that disability makes me vulnerable to heatstroke.
Yeah no way, cooling is power hungry. It might even quickly drain a car battery. Especially inefficient appliances.
Cheers for the suggestion for phone charging, the Jaycar one might be higher quality than the ones I have
Couple of little USB power packs and a little USB fan or 2 would make all the difference. Block out blinds and keep the freezer stick with an ice cube tray. Absolute worst case a cold Facewasher or feet in some cold water can make all the difference!
Sorry about this dinner photo. I decided to add a hash brown for curiosity’s sake and boy, what thing this stacked. I had to press down hard on the jaffle maker to get it down.
Was so hungry and couldn’t wait to dig in.
This one is a cross section of a jaffle.
::: spoiler cross section of jaffle. :::
You need a panini press for that thing
Next Melbourne food trend: Toasted sandwiches stacked like those American burgers
It’s all good. I managed to seal it and it was awesome.
Might need slightly bigger bread though
Apparently you can buy blood pressure monitors from Aldi?
Okay sir, I'll see if I can reimburse you for your supermarket shop.
Yeah you can. I bought one for my mum.
I had plans to finish my gardening assignments today. What I actually did was sit on my arse playing Stardew Valley all day. oops.

Like this? aurochs
Barking dog was barking so instead of trying to sleep through it, I decided to get up and go for a walk before starting work. The sunshine was lovely. Tired but a nice start to the day.
Was looking up mould as a medicine and found this website - looks almost as much fun as wikipedia as a workplace timewaster - owlcation.com - articles look sound and a good place to find names to search further.
What did I start????
Footy tickets acquired! Yes!
Which game?
Collingwood v Dees final
Hmm tough one, could be a close game.
It was tight last time, but that was with Bailey Fritsch tearing us a new one. He won't play this time, so...
Knocked off work. Contemplating a swim
I am thicc and juicy
Sweet but mostly spicy
Tingle on my tongue
Chase me with spiced rum
I promise I'm delicious
No need to be suspicious
My recycling bin didn’t get collected (it was out) so I let the council know… it’s remained uncollected for days now. I’ve been wheeling it out each day and chucking other people’s rubbish back out before wheeling it back (if I don’t it will helpfully be filled with literal garbage or dog poop by dickheads).
If it’s going to be collected fortnightly then please don’t miss… At this point I may either need to go Karen or give up and wait for the full month
It’s not going Karen if you’ve already asked nicely for a service you’re paying for and you’ve been told it’ll be sorted but it still hasn’t been. That’s called holding people accountable for doing their jobs.
If you:
You must apply for the Energy Bill Relief Program manually, from this Monday 4th September. You will receive a $250 bank deposit or bank cheque.
On top of this, if you receive a new concession card tell your energy provider; they sometimes offer discounts on electricty for concession card holders. If you receive a new concession card with a new expiry, also let your energy provider know so your concession with them stays current.
I'm planning father's day meal. I'm thinking crispy airfried chicken wings with a honey hot secret sauce, rice and maybe corn on the cob. Of course things could change. Might end up eating crumpets.
Grey clouds loom overhead, in my head.
Rolling, rumbling, fill me up with dread;
Melancholic dreams as I lay in my bed.
Dread looms overhead, in my head.
Can we keep faith in what is said
When all the news fills me up with dread?
I turn away but clouds loom overhead,
Melancholic dreams in my head.
The end of the world happens in my bed,
Every night they fill me up with dread.
Intruding thoughts wonder if I'm dead
As grey clouds loom overhead.
Lying on the couch playing mobile games,
I'm fumbling every one of interactions.
I don't know if I want you to feel the same,
But I'm paralyzed by fear of rejection,
Projections, predictions, predilections.
You dont message me like you once did,
That's okay, I know I'm extraordinarily mid.
I'm average cloaked in silly rhyming prose,
You think this poem is about us, I suppose.
that's one hell of a great line there
I got my first Temu order yesterday. The kinetic sculpture looks better quality than I expected, I got some nice decorative solar lights and a few little decorations to hide in the garden. Also got a set of solar mushroom lights which look awful, and a decorative plastic stake that was squashed and broken. Rather happy with the return process - I put through a return for the broken item and mushrooms, immediately accepted with no need to actually return.
My house is just a chorus of people coughing atm.
TIL of Spectrophilia…sexy ghost time.
I've seen that scene in Ghostbusters too.
but practically, how? with a consenting medium?
ooh I hadn’t considered the three way. That cost extra.
Can it be Friday 4:30 pm now? Please.
Have the unholy urge to have a clean shave even though I know it'll make me terribly unhappy once I've done it.
Lack of chin, though it's kind of to do with how round I've grown in my late 20s lmao
Fuck me Itzhak Perlman is good
yes, yes he is

My kyboar is ying.

h's a vry big cat 😂
Mystery solved!
I've got a dozen spares in the drawer if you're near Springvale. $0.
God people claim some weird shit on their health insurance. Today it's mould. Prescription mould.
I have so many questions.... Are they claiming medication for a mould-borne illness, or are they claiming a mould-based medication?
Mould based medication. They're not covered for it anyway, so the answer is no, but it took a but of detective work
Oh wow, that's wild!
I don't usually know what medication is for. Sometimes I can guess - I recognise many chemo drugs by name, for example - but in this case I have no idea
Like penicillin?
Not penicillin. I have absolutely no idea what it could be for, as it's just described as "mould"
Had a bit of a think about this. 'mould' was once a generic term for topsoil - I wonder if the person is doing broad spectrum microbiota therapy. Like, rebuild your biome with topsoil to cure allergies, intolerances etc. like using hookworms to treat gluten allergy.

Have to admit I was usually so stoned in geography. They just kept showing videos of things that weren't... maps. Best class ever.
