Diiishwassssherrrrr!!! Installed! Working! Lovely!

How did LowE's presentation go?

And no fighting.

I bet the garden and seedlings look great.

Good luck on the job interview.

Get well soon , bless you for the sneezing.

10am? You can sleep in a bit.

New manager rang. Don't have to turn up till 10am on Monday.

I'm hoping this is the normal start time lol

today at the beach I found an ibis skull, I took a picture

the bill was at least 30cm long

Just saw my favourite hoodie brand Derrimut Gym is closing down

Feeling about an inch tall. Boy is a dick. Jacket is now MINE.

Presentation is in half an hour! Practised and went for 4 to 5 minutes over which I was not expecting. I must talk slow. I'm glad I rehearsed though. Just got to hurry up a little.

Goodnight everyone ❤️

Would you choose to be a flightless bird forever for $100 million?

that aggravating squirrely wrath inducement when someone infantalises you because you don't hold the same values. No I'm not naive, I just don't care about that shit.

I made an early start on my garden support assembling last night and now have four garden obelisks sitting in my shower (the one I don't use, it may as well do something). I have set up a shelf over the bath (which I also don't use) in a nice bright spot to put some of my punnets onto until the seeds sprout and they can be moved outdoors. The dog has been walked, breakfast has been eaten. I think I'm ready to move onto seed planting now.

Yesterday was productive. I managed to get two weeks worth of the antibiotics Melbcat needs, plus her solensia and vitamin b and a kidney check.

I’m going to be grabbing the other bottle of antibiotics from her usual vet as well just to be sure. It still isn’t in. How long has it been??

The lesion on her lip is more unusual than that one on her nose and may need a biopsy. :(

Experienced a JB Hi-Fi employee this morning that was NOT an arsehole. They must be a new hire.

I've had two big Ms for breakfast. They weren't very good. Dam you savemore, got me again.

I’m paying a lot of polio vaccinations today. Everyone must be going somewhere exciting

This is the bus I caught today when it eventually arrived

Now I'm running seriously late for work 😕

Y'all need to join me on the breakfast noods hype train :::

Made it down the bellarine. Fell asleep on the train and woke up in Marshall though instead of geelong lol and had to grab a train back.

Edit. Calls for a rave choon

My long weekend stretched to five days - I don’t work Monday or Wednesday anyway - but I suppose the time has come to get back to it

Today is presentation day! I'm really tired but hopefully will wake up enough to be able to not embarrass myself so much. Going to write a quick script out and rehearse.

Survived work.

My giant disco ball sippy cup and I have done well

Nigh nigh

::: spoiler pretty? No

But do they move? Even when leveraging combined yoinks of two adults? Also no!

Plus they meet the tolerances for the dishwasher mounts. And that's the important part.

Where do you buy thick bacon?

A cafe at my uni sells muffins with a centimetre thick slice of bacon in.

I was curious if it's possible to buy bacon that thick as a consumer, and where. The local butchers either don't have any, or just have the same thing slices Coles and Woolworths have.

Apparently Stegosaurus meow

Why does KFC have banh mi? 😭 and McDonalds has matcha?

beach

Lying out in the backyard for a bit of sunshine when I'm not feeling well seemed like a great idea... until the constant sneezing reminded me that I have hayfever.

Also, phone cameras really have gotten absurdly good.

::: spoiler tiny weed flower :::

I got through planting my seeds for today. There are about 30 different types, way too many of them being different variaties of tomato. It would have been good to get most of them started much earlier, hopefully I'll be able to do that next year as everything will be set up ready.

::: spoiler The over-bath shelf is a good fit for three heat mats worth of seedlings.

:::

a few hours work in the yard, garden table wire brushed then derust applied. Cleaned and two coats of paint. Looks ok.

Spent one hour doing nothing but raking and sweeping in the front and filled a bin.

will do more tomorrow. :)

The sproots are on their way to friend’s kid now, as well as the pumpkins that were left. There were only 11 seedlings remaining though as I forgot to bring them in and the snails had a munch.

Edit: Last photo of the pumpkins. The paper bag contained seeds which were also gifted. I forgot to take pics of sproots.

Also ages ago I remember someone wanted whipped peanut butter? I saw Woolies is selling it again

I watched LA Confidential last night because I read the book and was surprised how enjoyable it was. The movie took a lot out for brevity but a lot is lost in what was removed.

The book isn't good, and it's a bit long, but it never commits the crime of being boring. The stakes are much higher, and whilst it becomes predictable as you realise all the sub plots are tied together, it's still a fun read to see it all tie off.

The main thing I was interested in was who they cast as Ed Exley, and our own Guy Pierce does an amazing job. An unexpected pull but he fills the role well. He has the acting chops that if they fleshed out his character more he could have played the transactional coward with the thin veneer of the department golden boy.

Russel Crowe was the other main character, and Simon Baker made an appearance. It's funny that a movie about LA is full of Australian actors.

I think a screen adaptation needed to be either longer to include everything, or somehow cut out even more to focus on the most interesting part at the end.

I'd give the book maybe 3/5 hobbits and the movie probably 2-2.5/5. It's crazy the film got marked for preservation by the American Film Association or whatever, there should be a rule against including inferior adaptations of already average source material.
