So it’s the cats bed and I get to use it sometimes. Thankfully I lure her over to that white doona with treats and she snuggles under it during the night.

Did a Bunnings run and had to interrupt an animated discussion about the movies between a couple of the staff to ask where something was. 😄
ajsadauskas@aus.social 1 year ago
@Seagoon_ Morning everyone.
So I still have a nose that alternates between being blocked and runny.
Yet I'm feeling less hungover than last week?
Sleeping in has worked wonders ☺️
It appears that drunk me not only did a load of washing last night, but also put it into the dryer too!
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 year ago
props for remembering the dryer 👍

Main course.: lamb shank mother fuckers. Bingo. Drinking Coronas. 👍
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 year ago
yum, can’t ask for anything more delicious than Turkish lamb and beer
Is there dancing?
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Of course and lucky for me I can do turkish dancing.

I have been watching various movies, readings and videos of Beowulf and about Beowulf. ( I read the book a long time ago, before Heaney’s translation ) Here are some.
Beowulf by Robert Zemeckis. Whyyyyyyy. It could have been awesome but it looked like crap. 2 hobbits
Beowulf , documentary by Michael Woods, 4 hobbits
History documentary by some academic poetry chap, 3 hobbits
Beowulf 1998 animation with Derek Jacobi, 3 hobbits
The Hobbit , for following Tolkein’s texts on Beowulf and the book The Hobbit and for general awesomeness in heroic story telling, 6 out 5 hobbits. I love it even more now,
Catfish@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Hwæt!
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Ok now you’ve got me interested in watching one of the films.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 year ago
The 1998 one is 30 minutes and on youtube ✅
the series with William Hurt was so bad I didn’t even review it
I yelled at the zemeckis movie, what a waste of actors
Michael Woods is always good, it made me want to travel all over England and see these places
StudChud@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Monarch of the Glen by Neil Gaiman (a novella in his short story collection Fragile Things) sort of includes Grendle. It also serves as a small sequel to American Gods. I like his take.
oztrin@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Apparently Grendel Grendel Grendel is awesome but I’ve never been able to find a copy. sadface
shiny_idea@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Is “Bea Wolf” on your radar?
It’s an illustrated children’s book about a children’s party in a treehouse.
But apparently somehow it’s an adaptation of the ancient epic?
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Got a heap of gardening done today, so I’m feeling very accomplished. Green bin full, and several tubs full lined up ready to go. Now a friend is over and we’re watching ‘Extraordinary Attorney Woo’ - perfect way to spend a Saturday!
just_kitten@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Solid sleep in till 10:15am. What a whirlwind week it’s been. I don’t know that I can handle full time hours for long, but for now I gotta push on with it and recharge the coffers.
I can’t complain though, I’ve had some really lovely social interactions - I’m absolutely spent right now, but I think a lot of it is just lack of practice after years of mostly remote work and latterly not working full time. Not used to being seen, being accountable. Once I rebuild those muscles it’ll be easier.
I’ll have an option of going down to 4 days a week total in a couple of months so that’ll be a relief.

Ok so in my dream last night I had an epiphany. Countdown Scrabble.
In these rules, each round someone has the job of picking how many consonants and vowels.
Then everyone has a time to work out the highest scoring word on the board.
Whoever finds the highest scoring gets the points and places the word down.
Any unused tiles go back in the box and used again.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 year ago
It’s a good idea but a usual 45 minute game would now turn into a 3 hour game.
Railison@aussie.zone 1 year ago
I’ll see how it goes and report back 😜
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 year ago
In these rules, each round someone has the job of picking how many consonants and vowels.
there would need to be two boxes
Then everyone has a time to work out the highest scoring word on the board.
Whoever finds the highest scoring gets the points and places the word down.
Highest scoring move or highest scoring word?
there needs to be a timer
Railison@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Highest scoring move! Timer definitely needed
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 year ago
it would be a strange game.
In ordinary scrabble a player can win by having the best average word score but not having any very high scoring words. In countdown scrabble every move is the highest score amongst the players. A player with a good average but no highest scores would never get a turn.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 year ago
I haven’t been practicing. I’ve been feeling sick all the time, too depressed to stick with anything, and any good art I post would just get scraped for AI.
SituationCake@aussie.zone 1 year ago
So sorry you are going through this. A hobby should be for enjoyment, so do what you can, in shorts bursts, without any notion of how much time you ‘should’ spend on something. Each new technique will take time but be rewarding. You are probably far more skilled already than you give yourself credit for. I reckon I would struggle to draw a stick figure. I would be supremely impressed by anyone who could produce something even close to those shaded examples!
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Thanks. I just get discouraged and the health problems are unreal at the moment. I might just stick to casual practice without putting the pressure on
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Today was a really high pain day. I’m getting so damn sick of this.
There is a professional who has suspicions about what might be wrong but after so long I kind of don’t dare to hope.
tone212_@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Been rushing around all day and in grumps mood but sky pretty at the moment; so I’ve stopped to appreciate the beauty. It’s the simple things sometimes.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 year ago
I decided to get up, get dressed and do mild housework. That often works to gently stretch sore back muscles. I think it worked, I’m feeling quite a bit better.
I can’t see the evening sky from here.
Simple things. All my orchids have flower buds, will move them upstairs where I can see them better later in the week. :)

Apparently there was another knife incident in a shopping centre yesterday. This time at Watergardens
ajsadauskas@aus.social 1 year ago
@Baku @Seagoon_ Channel Nine is reporting there were two separate knife incidents on the same day at Watergardens: https://www.9news.com.au/national/watergardens-shopping-centre-teen-allegedly-armed-with-machete-arrested-at-melbourne-shopping-centre/2004eb3f-ef62-4689-baaa-dfd1a7bf82d2

That cult of the lamb again is insanely addictive. I’m tending to my cultists and they are high maintenance!

Real cults delegate. Make some priests.

I have a pressing life admin thing to do (start booking accom and itinerary for a long trip with friends booked ages ago that I have a separate kitty of money for, it’s happening in like two weeks). I still haven’t started and it’s giving me a bit of anxiety - meant to do it last week but fell sick. But I’m really enjoying just relaxing and recharging today. Letting my body rest and my mind wander, transitioning back into who I am and what I like. Did some small chores but otherwise no big responsibilities. I think tomorrow I’ll be in a much better headspace to look up what I want to do - operating out of genuine passion and interest not just tired obligation. 😄
wscholermann@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Of course no one deserves to be murdered, but why would you travel in remote parts of northern Mexico riddled with drug cartel? It’s just not smart.
I really don’t think the surfing is worth it to put yourself in that kind of danger.
SituationCake@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Travel cautions exist for a reason. They were probably looking for adventure and liked the idea of a spicy travel destination. I think we get a bit sheltered in Australia and don’t realise how real it can be in the rest of the world. Suspect we’ll never find out what happened, the cartel’s have the Mexican police in payroll.
wscholermann@aussie.zone 1 year ago
They definitely found some spice, too much spice for them to handle.
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 1 year ago
I have the crud. Ergh.
Still have to babysit, as too short notice to pull out. Ergh
Catfish@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Unsurprisingly I have caught Boyo’s snotty crud. House is full of eucalyptus steam but can’t smell it. Cats displeased.

If you’re into comics, and don’t have an issue “sailing the high seas”, getcomics.org is the best. Also libgen.is for ebooks.
Enjoy :)

Anyone at a loose end for what to do this weekend? There is a spud festival happening in Trentham!
