    I’ve brought work’s iPad away with me to try and get used to it. I kinda wish the OS they run on it wasn’t so basic but it has a nice screen and good speakers!

    I was not feeling well yesterday so spent the day binge watching a couple of seasons of a French series, UFOs. It was ejoyable, but a bit odd. A giant mount of super-powered extraterrestial fairy floss is not a plot device you see every day.

    So conclusion to yesterday’s mystery. At least shit, I HOPE it is! And again, I’ll throw this behind a nsfw

    spoiler

    So I couldn’t figure out a polite way to say “hey, I’m sure my brains fucked with anxiety, but you weren’t trying to get me to finish inside the other night, right?” I feel like German might have the words for that, but English entirely fails. So I came up with a better idea: propose we go again and offer to wear one and see if there are any objections. Genius right? There were no objections. Also no ones yelled in like 48 hours so we might be onto something here.

    Alright. I think I’ve shared enough about my bedroom to last us all a life time. But the reason I stayed up was to share this: babymetal x electric call boy - ratatata I only knew one electric callboy song (pump it) and I’ve only vaguely heard of babymetal. And I’m really not into metal, but this song is freaking incredible!!! Do yourself a favour and give it a go even if it doesn’t sound like your thing.

    I’ve made the commitment this week. Before I can think my way out of it, I’ve booked and paid for a room up in Echuca/Moama. This means I get to stop in at my favourite bakery in Kyneton on the way for lunch and continue listening to the audiobook I’m getting into (11/22/63). Should be a lovely weekend.

    I’m feeling so ugh. The new kid moving in and the mentor moving out is all weighing on my mind. So many conflicting feelings. Anger + sadness + disappointment + resentment + guilt + pity + somehow partial apathy +feeling bad for all of the above + whatever the negative version of nostalgia is is a potent combo. I typed out my feelings before ultimately deleting because it was too long, but it didn’t help. Also went for a walk and tried to distract myself with YouTube and other things but that didn’t work either

      Make room for it all. I like to imagine all these “ghosts” competing for space inside me. If you fight to keep ‘em out you lose anyway, may as well let the emotions have their day.

        Hopefully that’s all they want. But I like that metaphor

          They can’t hurt you. It might feel like it, but it won’t actually leave a scar. Least that’s been my experience.

      That sucks so much that they didn’t wait for the new mentor to be there. Can you be super busy and away from the house to limit the amount of time alone with him until there’s someone there to mediate if needed? Obviously with your stuff locked away in your room.

        I’ll be going away for 6 days or so the day after he moves in and have enough on my Myki that I can escape if needed. I also took out a little bit of money in case I need to bail for a whole day

    We’ve got tickets for Stephen K Amos tonight, he’s at the Kingston Arts Centre in Moorabbin. Should be good. Food and drinks somewhere before, maybe the new American BBQ and burger joint Third Wave Cafe if we can get in.

      The Third Wave in Albert Park is a great feed. They did get in on the NFT trend a couple of years ago though, if that colours your perception of them at all

    I have a lot of free time currently and have gotten so addicted to this silly mobile game called Lumber Inc (it’s essentially a lumber factory simulator). Somebody save me!

    It may be winter, a state of affairs I don’t really approve of, but I stewed some rhubarb yesterday and I’m now having it for breakfast with muesli and yoghurt. And tea. And the sun’s out.

    I might just make it through another few months of this bleakness.

      Which birds are the ones that sound like car alarms? The Maggie’s that live in the trees around my house are actually really friendly. We used to have people here who’d feed them a lot, so they seem to have just marked us as friendly. I don’t feed them, generally, but I did throw them a small amount of unsweetened muesli at the start of last spring to try and bribe them into not swooping me since they built their little hole right above the letterbox.

      They liked that and have me remembered as a friendly. While they’re in the yard catching brekky, they’re generally relaxed if I’m outside gardening or whatever and don’t pay much attention to me

          Yep ^^ this

          And magpies are crazy smart. I will say “hello Maggie” to the ones in my street when I see them. At my last place I got to the point they would warble back. As long as they see you as a friend they won’t swoop.

    Whomever said you shouldn’t worry about zits because you grow out of them was a filthy liar. You end up with zits, and wrinkles, and grey hair. 😝
