I used to love staying up late when I was a kid. Some things never change.
Goodnight all ❤️

Today didn’t go so well. Not going to win them all.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
All I have to say is families are hard.
YOU are kick ass!!
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
You did your best under really difficult circumstances.
I’ve been reading what you’re going through and I would struggle to keep my composure in some of the situations you’ve described.
Try to find a way to relax.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
Well tonight’s gonna be a shitshow.
In brief, bro is coming down to the bellarine for dins, we’ve had a massive falling out over a bunch of shit, I’m gonna be expected to cook, wasn’t told this was happening, shouldn’t let the ol’ girl cook for them (not fair on her / bit risky in her condition, which bro doesn’t care about), bro and ol’ boy can’t cook, I can’t stand bro and his acute NPD bs, gonna be guilt tripped (ol’ boy’s gonna crack the shits) if I’m not there or even if I am because I’ll call out bullshit.
So, there’s gonna be a lot of tension either way.
Not gonna ‘win’ this one. Winning in this sense is just a pleasant evening, which it won’t be. I just wanna go to the beach for dins in solitude and have a steak sammich and pat some doggos but that will be inflammatory behaviour.
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
Hard core response : put a sign on the door “Closed for Repairs” and go to the beach with sammich as per usual. When you return from beach, microwave up some youfoodz trays for them. Or some other low-par instant ‘meal’. Dodge the convo if you can.
Soft core response : Meet them at the door. Demand that they do a doordash or similar for their food. At their expense. Then go to the beach as per usual. With your own choice of sammich. Don’t share it. Have essential convo on your return.
StudChud@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
It doesn’t help much considering the situation, but I’m sorry your bro is a dickhead. Sending you good vibes 💜
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
Thank you for the vibes :)
It’ll be okay. Will pick up the pieces tm lol.
dumblederp@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
Low-effort nachos. corn chips, grated cheese, salsa - bake. Tuck in cunts.
Catfish@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
Oh dear, you seem to have bird flu. What a pity.
Much sympathy for bullshit.
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
I’m so sorry, that’s a really crappy situation to be in. Could they at least be persuaded to get takeaway perhaps?
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
Extremely hot chillos in the food. Hopefully his pride means he can’t back down 🌶️
Or a knuckle sandwich 🤭
Taleya@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
hahahaha hubs decided to help with putting in the sub base and compacting it all down. He did about a foot section. He now has a deep deep respect bordering on mild terror for me looking back at the other fucking 8m already done.
Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
Love this. 😁
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
Was going to go out tonight but can’t be effed. I’m wrecked from the stress of the last few days.
I’m going to read a book and go to bed once it’s a reasonable hour lol
StudChud@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
Feeling the weight of CoL right now. Everything feels insurmountable. Everywhere I want to work requires a driver’s license, otherwise it’s call centres again.
Severe anhedonia, nothing feels worthwhile. I’m looking at volunteering for an animal welfare fundraiser, just to do something. Remote and flexible so I can do it around school, but no pay. But it would get me experience at least somewhat adjacent to animal care.
I just want to cry. My brain is just assaulting me with all the time and money I’ve wasted. Idk. Idk what I’m doing at all.
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
Or to max up job opportunities - go for a forklift licence. Always work if you have one of those.
Catfish@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
Totally get this if you can, and do the extra two hours I think??? To be a trainer at the same time
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
I second Seagoon, it’s so easy to get your Ls online and it’s free to do the course. That’s what I’m doing; you just set up a VicRoads account if you haven’t already got one and you’ve got a fair bit of time to do it, you can do each component of the course when you’ve got time. Then you do the test, also online I believe, and there’s a small cost when you physically go to the local VicRoads to get your permit. It works most effectively with the current OS or the one previous to it on whatever device you’re using. If this old sausage can do it you can too!
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
You can also buy a paper edition learners book cheaply from vicroads offices.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
If you don’t mind me asking, is it an open book and can you do it at home? My mind blanks under stress
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
So get your license. It needn’t be expensive. You can study and take the test for free , then ask a friend with a car to help with lessons.
bacon@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
Volunteering got us this job. It is also great to feel some sense of belonging.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
I’ve been thinking.
This morning Gibson was, let’s say, unhappy about her claws being trimmed.
As in, she straight up tried to attack the groomer.
Think about it: This 4kg ball of fluff was more than happy to attack what is ultimately a towering giant because they crossed their personal space.
That’s fucking hardcore.

I’ve been feeling really bad about not keeping up with my Mandarin.
On the train the other day a woman came on asking for help, in Mandarin but the last word was garbled english. I knew she was asking directions as I did recognise much of what she was saying. I did not know how to answer even tho I know I studied this at uni. ( angry at myself ) . Her accent was strong, a new immigrant.
I did eventually figure where she wanted to go, said I would help her( in english ) and she sat next to me until I helped her at her station. She waved good bye to me so many times from the platform when the train moved. 🥲
I felt so bad for her, I remember what it was like moving to a foreign country where I didn’t speak the language and literally tried to navigate a foreign city. A scary adventure that makes us rely on strangers.
I am resolved to study up again , it’s a good thing to do.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
You are such a kind hearted person ❤️
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
These days, Google translate eliminates all of that, but yeah it can get hectic.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
I never even thought of that, 😔 I just don’t use my phone as a computer at all, it’s just basically a phone.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
Apparently when Tik Tok briefly shut down people went to Red Note and were being helped to learn Mandarin.
I avoid those sorts of apps and Red Note might be especially politically sensitive or bad for privacy but that just reminded me

Last night me won at gin rummy. This morning me is enjoying my winning cuppa tea. 🙂

I can hear drunk people singing, and an angry man yelling “fuck youuu”, all while I watch a small yt channel play indie horror games.
I love my life right now 😂

I’m off to the market, and then to the gym.
Please leave all shopping requests below. Must supply own bags
Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
Meh.
Crap Sleep Gang, checking in.
Do I walk? Do I wash the bike? Both?
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
I forgot to mention when I got the jeans ($2 down from $11 on a tag sale) I also got some art books. They look great and I got a frequently recommended one but I just don’t have enough energy to dive in and start doing exercises.
Being surrounded by toxic dysfunctional people and having constant health issues is draining. I feel like I spend life in survival mode.
Duenan@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
Just made myself a chicken sandwich by cooking 2 chicken drumsticks seasoned and then stripping the meat from the bone.
Threw it all between two slices of bread and added some sauce and it’s surprisingly filling.
I feel a food coma incoming.
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
I watched the Conclave last night.
The Pope has died and a new one must be selected.
Strong performances all around from a great cast. Ralph Fiennes is lead actor here. He’s always brooding and always in doubt, but manages to bravely steer the voting process through Catholic politics and scheming.
Stanley Tucci is magnetic. Truly owns every scene. How does he do that?
Isabella Rossellini, I haven’t seen her in a long while. She portrays a truly formidable nun. Scary at times.
Cinematography is top tier. Some really nice conceptual shots here
By today’s standards, the film can be slow at times, but I don’t mind it. Most films used to be that way. It gives some time to reflect, which is perfect for this particular religious subject matter.
Oh and there is a massive twist at the end., which is fantastic if it’s your first viewing, but, I tend to watch movies repeatedly if I like them.
4.5/5 Hail Marys

Video game time!!!
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
I’m so tired. Today has consisted of running the dishwasher and doing a laundry just so I don’t get buried again but the rest of it has been spent in bed. Walking a couple of times took my energy for the whole week.
Melbcat has been feeling really crappy, resting in her bed or cuddling in mine. She’s had her meds so I hope she feels a tiny bit of relief.

How did Irving know Helena was an Eagan?
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
woke up with headache again, just been resting and sleeping, but now I’m up and listening to jazz, first up some trad, then some dixie and lastly some jive . Might grab some zydeco too.
so everything calm and cool

Craving seafood so bad! Two separate dreams about eating lobster last night. I really need to fix this.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
The jeans still whiff slightly after two further washes with napisan and vinegar rinse. It’s a lot better but tbh I might just use them as gardening pants.
Honestly I would have just got rid of them but they’re a good style and fit which I have trouble finding these days
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
Good morning all
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
Gym in half an hour. After that, I can relax

Egg on pizza (an “Aussie”), or nah?
my opinion
I say nah, it’s gross and offensive 😂
briongloid@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
Almost panicked seeing 495 comments from yesterday’s discussion thread, luckily it was just high engagement.
I am up to date with Severance as well, watching the day they release.
Catfish@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
Would you like to have an argument?
Duenan@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
No. We can have a fight though.
🥊 ⚔️
bacon@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
I must disagree with your proposal 😡
just_kitten@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
I was definitely wondering wtf happened when I was only away for a few hours.
I watched the latest episode and I’m stunned. I do think the impact of the big “reveal” has been dampened for me by consuming so many theories during the week.
MAJOR spoilers s2e4
I mean it was so bleedingly obvious it was Helena! I’m just relieved someone called it out. But then, so many more questions… Like those weird twins? They just completely handwaved them away? And how TF did they all appear there? I was sure it was a simulation until the drowning scene. I sure as hell hope this isn’t the end of i-Irving. But I’m stoked for the real Helly to come back though I’m sure she’d be feeling very violated if she can physically feel that she has had baby goats the night before.
Duenan@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
S2ep4 spoilers
I didn’t click on to the fact that it was Helena till what happened at the end. It’s all very weird and the cult like company figures and stories as well are so strange and weird. All the fake smiles as well are pretty creepy. I can’t wait till next week to see how it unfolds now with that revelation.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
I have so many questions.
dumblederp@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
I appreciate everyone keeping the spoilers to themselves.
Duenan@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
I just finished the latest episode and WTF?
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 2 weeks ago
It got a bit rowdy
