Now begins the BEE SUPERHIGHWAY! Like clockwork blossom -><- echium.
I have far too many baking trays. I will not be culling just merely organising them in a better tetrisy way.
Onions on top today. North Eastern Melbourne Chinese Association are cowboys living on the edge of society
I’m so frustrated about my health and living situation. I was never hugely sporty but did like to be somewhat active like walking and tai chi and would love the energy/chance to garden. I’d love to be exercising and prepping good meals.
Even just getting away from the toxic elements of where I live would be amazing.
Got a phishing message impersonating auspost coming from the democratic republic of the Congo
Found it funny because when something that seems like it should be Australian wasn't, my mum would always say something like "what do you mean the milk is only 93% Australian? Where's the rest of it coming from? The bloody Congo?"
I also had one come from Yemen a few weeks ago. That was a funny one.
Anywho I cracked into my study today. I've got the knowledge to complete my first assessment now, I'm about 75% done, probably got about an hour left on it. I don't know about the others because I haven't started them yet, but I've got another 3 weeks to do those. Although we start on the next unit tomorrow, so I don't want to get left behind. They look to be longer than the first one, and one of them is a case study, the other a research report. So the one I'm working on now is probably the easiest of the lot (just basic written questions)
Here I am StudSpud the Starchy
The poetic potato aficionado
But in real life I'm actually partly
Just your average f5 tornadoI don't look like an actual potato
I'm not a hot-as-fuck stud
I'm just a long dormant volcano
And now I'm certainly not a chud25/50 - not my best work
I counted 7 frying pans. 2 cast iron (1 flat, 1 griddle) 1 steel/aluminium (Idfk), 1 small for toasting nuts, 2 that go in the oven with a lids (1 large, 1 small) and one I use all the time. Plus a wok. I need to make decisions but maybe not today.
TIL about AI generated books, some of which are dangerous. These mushroom hunting books are wrong and could kill. So what other fake books are out there?
Yesterday was new water bottle day. This time I got one off ScAmazon. I'm sure this one will last 7 months like all the rest before cracking the shits and breaking, making me crack the shits and put it in the bin
Also, YIL that Amazon gives away free GOG/epic keys with a prime subscription. To keep forever I think. Shame about prime (the streaming part) being so garbage. I found the mixed messaging they do where some movies are part of your subscription, and then others they try to sting you 30 bucks for to be really annoying and just gave up on it as a result. Almost cancelled when they started putting ads into the 3 whole movies they actually have on it, but forgot to so never did
I’m feeling depressed as hell. Internet Archive lost a copyright lawsuit and rare books or resources that could be unavailable in any other way might be lost.
I have to go to eBay or Amazon for even a hope of finding some classic art books secondhand and even then a used copy could be $50, $70, $100 plus. If I can even find it.
Goodness me. Fell asleep early and only woke up once. Been awhile since I’ve been able to sleep so soundly.
I couldn't get to sleep last night. Melatonin was no help. I was so tired I couldn't open my eyes, but I just couldn't sleep.
Then when I did get to sleep, I had another bad dream. This one didn't involve death like the last few, but I got really angry in my dream and broke everything in my path and hurt a lot of people. I hate those kinds of dreams, because they feel so realistic while I'm in them and then about half way through the dream I realise I've mega screwed up and then end up dealing with the fallout while I'm still dreaming. And then after I wake up it's a combination of relief that I'm not rotting away in a dingey jail cell somewhere, but also terrifying because it makes me wonder if I am actually capable of hurting people irl
And then after I woke up I realised I'd slept in until 1pm. But in my defence, the watch tells me I was tossing and turning until 5:30
Portuguese-style sardines don't taste any different to any other sardines in oil. There, bang, I said it.
Going on another ride with the bicycle users group today. My plan is to get to the meeting place early so the boys can have a bit of out of pram time before we head off
Just watched the new series of "Only Murders in the Building". It's such a terrific show, very entertaining.
Found out recently Windows can control backlight brightness on most external monitors, it's just not a feature it wants to implement natively. Twinkle Tray does the trick nicely though!
