These are the noises I can hear inside tonight:

Somebody having some kind of outdoor race at the park a fair ways away

the neighbours tiny yap dog going off its fucking rocker

some drongo doing burnouts and looping the roundabout next to my house -the crickets (I’m pretty sure they’re right under my floorboards, really loud)

a motorbike that’s revving like mad at the end of the road and isn’t stopping or even going anywhere

  I have a cat rolling a ball from the front door to the back door. I’d get up but I cannot be stuffed.

  After 20 years living in Australia, the motor noises are still annoying.
  
  I’ll never understand the need to unnecessarily burn petrol only to annoy people around you.
  
  Go to an industrial estate and let it rip. Leave is suburbanites alone!!

  Motorbike revving noises send me, I’ve got a neighbour that owns three of them. It’s just constant motorbike noises throughout the day- starting, revving, driving past. Sometimes very early. Shut it!

  So long as it’s not the neighbours humping or having a domestic it could be worse.
  
  Actually no the worst is an 18th with thumping bass.

  - Baku@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago
    I can assure you this has thumping bass
    
    Too far away to hear people, even if they were yelling, somehow not far enough away to not hear “DNNZ-DNZZ-DNDNDNDNZZ” on repeat for an hour

BATS. Huge bats flying over my place every evening around sunset. They come from the big park where they nest in the Moreton Bay figs and fly to I don’t know where. They have a strange alien way they flap their wings, as if the way birds fly is the only natural way to fly.

It’s a strange phenomena, I look closely at the sky and I can’t determine exactly when they become visible, they don’t start as a tiny dot that becomes bigger, they start washed out and already big then get bigger and clearer. They appear one after the other.

Gaaaah. Microphone not working on calls, but works in every other app that uses it…gaaaah stupid buggy old pixel

  Does the microphone on headphones work? I had an issue with an old phone where dust got in the sensor and the screen would never turn on during calls. I had to have a headset on me at all times so I could hang up

  this might seem like a silly question, but does it taste super beer-y? I haven’t met a beer I’ve liked (except that time I mistook CC and dry as beer), but this sounds interesting…
  
  source
  - Catfish@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago
    No, it tastes more like a fruit tea but with more body. Not sure which bit of beery you find problematic, but if it’s hops there is none of that. You also would have a hard time getting pissed on this, it’s only 3.5%

Bought myself one of those green and red leaf Christmas indoor plants. Spur of the moment whim. In a low mood and feeling low motivation. Hopefully it will magically help to cheer up the place. It’s happy looking plant.

Couldn’t make it down to the shops today, so I got the last of the stuff for the new house online from Kmart (onepass membership definitely making itself worth it, even better since I switched to an annual membership for half price around black friday). For some reason I find the idea of them posting me a washing basket and rubbish bin absolutely hilarious. Probably terrible for the environment, but also hilarious that they’re probably paying $60 in shipping for my $40 in revenue

    Quite possibly! But I dunno, my version of assassinating rich CEOs is costing Wesfarmers as much money for as little revenue as possible. I have had shit sent with that too, and it seems to drastically increase the likelihood of getting damaged in the post. In which case, I could get a refund and buy another, and go round and round in circles costing them more and more until they either get shitty at me, send it in a box, or it doesn’t get broken. Haha, a boy can dream

Man, rice is the absolute best. Cheap, easy enough to make, can be used so many different ways, filling, goes with really anything savoury, easily flavoured. If you’re having something you don’t like, you can almost dilute it with rice as an unpleasant flavour neutraliser 😂

- Thornburywitch@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago
  And if you like sweet - rice pudding is a classic. And can be fancied up almost infinitely.
  
  source
  - Baku@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago
    I tried rice pudding when I was really young, but I didn’t like it. But I was a fussy eater, and it probably came out of a dented, luke warm can missing a label that had been in the back of the cupboard for 2 years. I’m keen on giving it another go eventually!

Today’s vintage LPs are “The Music of Arabia”, “The Gaugin Years, music of Tahiti” and “Mariachi oro y plata”

Truly the Arabian music has such a good beat it makes me want to dance. 💃 And I think I will make a booking for Almazett in early Jan with some friends.

Fully aware that this is ridiculous, but there are 2 things that I’m afraid of (aside from the impending doom): spiders and zombies. To the point Zombie Taylor Swift gave me nightmares. But last night, I decided that I’d watch the 28 Years Later trailer, thinking if I watched it with no sound and in a tiny box, I’d be fine.

And I was! Thought it was cool and didn’t give it another thought. Until bedtime…

spoiler
Thought I could hear zombies in background of the rain sounds we listen to. Boyo twitched as he fell asleep and I (silently) freaked out. Tried to think about the upcoming trip and could only think about how Tokyo would be if something like that occurred while we were there. Was worried that the sensor light flickering on meant there were zombies coming into the back yard. Terrified if I got up to go the toilet during the night there would be a zombie in the house (this is a reoccurring thing anyway).

WHY BRAIN.

Sidenote: the movie looks so good. I wish I could watch it.
