Have a potential employer to speak to tomorrow. Here we go!

Also, Boop:

The toilet paper is stolen. I'm not allowed to touch it if she's within seeing distance so I've accepted my fate for the moment.

This is the view from my accom tonight that I wished I could've stayed two nights at, but alas only one... The sound of the river and the clear, fresh air is so healing... could spend a whole week here soaking up the everything.

Well it's happened. A good friend of mine, who suffers from major anxiety from childhood emotional abuse, has finally caught covid. In spite of double masking everywhere outside the house and all possible precautions. These new variants are sneaky to the max. Take care out there peeps.

Sent some of Dad's ashes (about a teaspoon) to the sea at the local beach on his deathiversary, like I promised myself I would. Will bury some more in the garden later.
Now treating myself to a breakfast at yet another local cafe.

I have discovered a problem with finally having a really comfy bed....I don't want to get up. It's cold out there.

Today has been a good day. Lovely sunshine; I've got an interview lined up for next week for a job I really want; I went and checked out some art; I ran into a friend; and I ate cake at Brunetti.

And now I'm home with a fluffy cat on my lap and a cup of tea in my hand.

Does anyone else have a cheese fetish?

I just bought 6 different cheeses - burger cheese, cheese sticks, Mersey Valley, pecorino, laughing cow (one fridged, one pantry). They all have different applications.

And I have more in the fridge already.

It doesn't matter how much you've seen of the photos and accounts of the atomic bombs in Japan, the museum at Hiroshima still leaves a real impact on you. The crowds are huge though, I'm very glad I booked a ticket to enter the museum earlier (7:30-8:30) and take my time without navigating hordes of school students and tourists

Picked up my MC prescription at lunch today and it might be too early to call whether it's the products or just a trick of the mind but things seem brighter already. I've taken myself out for dinner and I've booked a movie ticket after 👌

I didn't have to do the complicated blood tests today but I will soon.

My Minecraft bees absconded so I built a glass hothouse and trapped the new ones inside. I proceeded to watch the little buggers clip through the glass and escape multiple times (retrieving them with leads)

Edit: Found a missing glass block in the ceiling which I've patched. But it looked like the bee popped out the side, and the wiki says that they can clip through sometimes. I'm hoping that's fixed the issue. I took away the dandelion in there and will see if they can pollinate the glowberries without anything else there, and if that results in honey.

Probably not since it's probably a crop... I put the dandelion back so the berries hopefully get pollinated flying between the flower and the hive. They're making honey now but not pollinating the berries

Ok... they're pollinating like one or two of the berries. I could make a more efficient setup but cbf

Some bright spark decided to bring fish for lunch to work and warm it in the microwave.

What's worse? They decided to eat lunch at their desk.

I'm gonna spoke their water bottle with the crap from the dishwasher filter given a chance.

Got to my accom about half an hour ago, booked tickets for the peace memorial museum tomorrow, there's a cafe right downstairs which is perfect to get myself going asap in the morning. Think I can get it all done in time. I hate rushing through something so important, but it is what it is. I think 3.5-4 hours should hopefully be plenty for the museum and park.

Happy World Otter Day.

Everyones out there talking about how they wish they could have the feeling of their first love or first root again. I'm just sitting here wishing coffee hit the same as it did the first time.

It seems my org has made their decision. They're going to move the new kid in on the 5th as planned and just put agency workers here. All they had to do is push it back 2/3 weeks and the next LT they've lined up will be moving in and it would work out better for everyone

TIL our nose hairs help stop viruses and bacteria, not just bigger stuff

Of course it's Aussie Boomers who didn't have to do their national service, who share facebook support for Rishi's proposal.

Oh a pouchful o' tobacco
Makes the trauma go down,
In the most disgusting way.

I put my phone on do not disturb this morning and forgot to turn it off. I was wondering why my emails weren't going off like usual, but I wasn't going to question or!

9 degrees right now? Bullshit. It's like 3

True to form the least exciting of three pakidge came first. But i has my swanky dragon usb cable at least

after my rice crackers obsession subsided i am now addicted to popcorn

Oh why, why is it only Wednesday today?

Jubilee is the worst character in the X-Men cartoon. Either the original or the new one.

Every line of dialogue is nails on a chalkboard.

You know that song "wake me up when September ends", what happened at the end of September?

If no one else is interested, I'll do the thread for tomorrow.

I've been watching video essays about movies and the thought occurred to me

A Christmas Carol is a time travel movie.

Too warm with the oodie on, but too cold without it (even though I have a shirt, and two hoodies on).

I've noticed my apartment is weird; the balcony faces north, overlooking the alley, but no view due to the apartment building next door. It is also a taller building than mine, so no sun can hit my balcony until spring/summer when the Earth is closed and tilted appropriately.

Makes for too cold winters and too hot summers. But! I've been approved for URGS, so I don't have to stress about the electricity bills piling up, all aid off now. And since the Anko brand portable heater carked it last year and hasn't been used, our electricity consumption has gone down by 7kwh on average. That little Anko heater was a fucking power guzzler.

Movie review. Dead Man with Johnny Depp.

Such an interesting movie, it has a Silent Movie production style but it's a modern absurdist story. I had to look twice to see iggy pop and billy bob.

I will be watching this again. 4.5 hobbits

I have one for whatever cheese they use in burgers.

17C now?!!

Has anyone here gone to BFT before?
