Mickey says “zzzzz”
Today is United Nations Public Service Day, and International Widows Day
hey all 😀
I saw a friend’s possum that she feeds , it was so cuuute
The ringies live in a tree next to my house and when I’m feeling down I like to sit outside and watch them scurry around. Sometimes they jump onto the roof and patter about right above me
I’ve never fed them, but I do occasionally feed the maggies that also live in that tree, so I think the possums heard I’m a friendly
I see now why people avoid going into programming 😔
Is it the programming aspect?
Absolutely lol. Or more so the amount of knowledge you need to memorize.
You don’t need to memorize everything. It’s enough to know what’s possible. Once you know one language really well, all you really need to do is learn the way another language does the same thing. Google is your friend.
You know the house is too cold when a shower makes your fingers & toes feel like they caught fire. Surprised the bathmat hasn’t grown moss. Must finish this mortgage paperwork and escape!
cold. Bill Cat crawled in the big humans bed
Bleh. After yesterday’s nap I somehow managed to strain or pull something and some area of my neck or back shoulder is sore which unfortunately is leading to pain when I move my head.
Taken some Panadol and nurofen but I hope it’s only an minor strain and not anything serious.
It’s a day of keeping warm and resting today.
So I went to see friends last night, I always look forward to seeing the wife of the couple, she’s becoming a good friend and I hope I am a friend to her. The guy is a childhood friend of my husband.
And the guys grew up being the smartest person at school and they are both pretty successful in their sci or math respective fields.
here’s the thing, they both treat me like an idiot, or should I say, they both expend quite a bit of energy to keep me in my place
and I really don’t give a shit,
but I noticed the guy treats his wife just as poorly as he treats me, worse since it’s all the time. At first I thought it was just explaining a difficult scientific subject but it’s everything she does.
She’s a highly educated and experienced lawyer who is fluent in 3 languages. She’s no idiot. And even if she was you don’t talk to people like that.
It just saddens me.
and doesn’t surprise me, rude men tend to hang with other rude men
all I can do is continue be a friend with her
Those guys sound very unpleasant to hang around with.
I hate people who look down on others and do that, it’s yucky and demeaning.
They probably bask in their own superiority and have known nothing else through their life and thus treat everyone else like that.
Not much you can do about it since one of them are married to your friend but it’s yucky.
Insecurity can be repugnant.
I agree and insecurity is crazy. This guy has a phd in sciences. What would it take to make him feel secure.
I suppose I can answer that. Controlling and keeping intelligent women in their place.
So why doesn’t he marry uneducated women? I suppose because it makes him feel smart to control a smart woman and he wouldn’t feel smart to control an uneducated woman.
Always, always there’s an undercurrent of physical intimidation in these cases. 😡 It’s subtle tho.
Men like that are the worst form of coward. I’ve encountered them before, and they quickly receed when challenged by another man.
Disgusting.
You’re witnessing a dick swinging competition.
But I have no dick???
He’s swinging his dick in the presence of another male
These can be purchased in entertaining colours and improbable sizes from certain establishments should you wish to windmill somebody in the eye.
I actually feel alive today. It’s a Christmas miracle. Might even give the floors a lick with the mop later for something exciting to do.
That’s a rather interesting error… Task failed successfully, I guess.
All’s well that ends well
Moon pretty. And very bright. And shining through my window onto my face.

Went to Missy Higgins at the Palais last night, probably one of the best gigs I’ve been to in the last 10 years. 13 year old me and 33 year old me were stoked.
I’m going to watch Inside Out 2 tomorrow, I’ve decided. To prepare I just rewatched Inside Out at home and honestly every time I fall in love with it all over again. It’s one of the best ever films I’ve watched, period.
This is no mere kid’s film, it’s a goddamn psychology class and therapy rolled into one. It brings me to tears, every time (and this must be the fifth time at least). And every time i notice new details, and events of the film have new meaning…
rambling because seriously guys i love this film
This is the first time I’ve watched it post lockdown and I was honestly ugly crying at the point when Joy realises Sadness needed to take over. I mean i cry at that point every time anyway (also when Sadness sits next to Bing Bong and just listens). But this time it hit so much harder after the huge events of past years: the loss of friends, the irreversible life changes, isolation, the realisation that some joyful parts of the past are truly over and can’t drive us any more, and have to be let go to move on to new joy, the sadness taking over happy memories, the rebuilding of new networks by letting emotions blend, and of course one of the big morals of the story - don’t keep trying to push through and be happy all the time, embrace the difficult feelings or everything starts breaking down. Deny sadness and you get locked out of your brain with depression.
This film has meant so much to me over the years because I’ve always been Sadness - Negative Nelly, Debbie Downer, the character in the film to a tee - and both hated and defended that fact fiercely growing up. This was honestly the first film that gave me the permission to embrace it and be proud of it - especially the mum having Sadness running the show with empathy, it was the first time I truly understood who I could become rather than forcing myself to be someone else.
I can’t get over how the creators weaved these personal experiences we’ve all had and actual psychological concepts into such vivid, coherent, playful imagery that doesn’t just track as a very entertaining kid’s adventure film but also as an incredibly creative and powerful metaphoric film for all ages. I could watch it every year til I die, honestly.
Of course I don’t have such high hopes for the sequel. But I can’t not watch it when the original means so much to me. ❤️🩹
so many hugs, just reading your experience made me cry
It’s on my watchlist now💗
I really feel you on this so, so much. I loved the first movie too, which I watched when it came out. I want to watch the 2nd one, but I just know that I won’t be able to cope if I watch it with where I’m at at the moment
Oooof we ikea’d mightily today. I got fuck all done around the house
Went to Fairfield boathouse this weekend. Haven’t been before. Very Old Timey style. Had decent scones and a some very nice walking tracks next to the Yarra. Would be amazing if they gave it a renno like Studley park, but keeping the heritage. I think the location is actually nicer than Studley park, due to the walks and views. Would go again.
Gave my dad haircut there back in COVID days as it was in between both our lock down distances … Oppa-covid-style…
It’s a lovely place to chill on a sunny summer morning. Next to it is a mini greek amphitheatre - stand on the bronze disk and speak normally and your voice is magnified by the surrounding walls. There was often performances there in summer pre-covid - and I expect these will start up again fairly soon. A beautiful space.
I did wonder if the amphitheatre was ever used! Hopefully they reinstate it.
Attended a performance of Euripides’ The Bacchae there. Powerful and strange. Especially in the kind of setting the play was intended to be performed in. I really got it then that theatre had its roots in religious ritual.
