  The black cat is hanging around… but I can’t feed him or encourage him to be here or I’ll have a cat fight on my hands

    Not a good idea to feed neighbourhood cats anyway unless you know them. You don’t know if they have a special diet or not.

  Alright, after some drama and use of a broomstick (not by me…) sox was bundled into her carrier and all her bits and pieces taken away. Made sure to eat something, finished up all the other house chores, stopped for an existential panic moment, then went to the laundromat and dried a huge load, and now I’m parked at the office willing myself to attack the method section (it needs to be dramatically shorter and replaced with some diagrams that I have on hand). I picked the easiest bit to do today because I knew the morning was a writeoff.

  Wish me energy and concentration. I’ve had my meds, a coffee, and now a tea with a biscuit, and I still feel like burying myself in bed. I’ll try and get out of here before 9pm at least and have a good night’s sleep before tomorrow’s new session of writing back at the uni library. I am at least relieved in the back of my head that I’ve now got clean clothes and a clean house again

    You can do this. Well done with the clothes and food while in the middle of it. That’s life sorted.

    Here’s a sleepy sun kitty to help

      I wanna join sleepy sun kitty and bury my face in that glorious sun-kissed fur (even if only for 0.1 seconds)!

      But no, I shall stare relentlessly at Microsoft Word

    Good luck with your work tonight.

    You’re getting there and nearly done I hope.

    You can do it!

    • just_kitten@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago

      Thanks. I’d say I’m past the 50% mark overall but still a lot of work to do to get to the 90%-complete level where I can send it to my supervisor. At least i feel like some major blockages have been cleared. I think I won’t push myself too hard tonight because I need to sustain momentum for a few more days rather than burn out too fast.

  We went to the burlesque show for our Anniversary last night. There was a best dressed prize so I told my girlfriend to find something she’s never had a chance to wear and dress as gay as you can.

  My logic was you dress up extravagantly as you can because there will either be someone more dressed up as you, or you win a prize.

  And she won!

  She felt overdressed because most of the crowd was just old people, but that meant she was the clear winner, so she had a good time and it made the night a bit more special

    Ooh! Love a good show off event, so few ops otherwise.

    What did she win?

    • tombruzzo@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      She got a skincare package from some brand sponsoring the event. We’ll have to see if its any good

  One of the stranger things I’ve noticed on beach walks is the food that gets washed up. Whole fruit and vegetables. Maybe they fall off boats and ships and are not eaten by fish. Yesterday I saw a whole perfect pomegranate on the beach. odd

  I got home incredibly late after a huge hyper focus session rewriting out my entire intro (this time with full citations) - got home past 1am and hugely apologetic to dear sox who was clearly a bit out of sorts having dislodged and chewed up a corner of a pizza box (there was plenty of dry food left for her to free feed on).

  Things have been so hectic I have two weeks of laundry built up and all sorts of crap lying around. So I’ve spent this morning getting that done, cleaning the kitchen, doing an overdue vacuum, tidying the place up before Sox’s human comes at 11. Now just waiting for the second round of laundry and… lo and behold I have been blessed with one last shnuggle.

  At least I get to enjoy this last bit of quality time 😭 🙏🏽 🖤🤍🖤

    Aww you’ve worked really hard to do what you need to do.

    I’m glad you can relax with soxcat now

    I’m sure you’ll see her again.

    Also what did I just wake up to this morning?

    so many kudos on the rewriting sesh, hard work is hard

    Look at that healthy coat.

    And the whiskers forgot to stop growing.

    source

    • just_kitten@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      She’s astoundingly shiny regardless of what crap she gets fed by her human. Maybe she’s born with it (not Maybelline). I love her medium coat length too, it’s so soft but not as hard to manage as a long coat.

    Beautiful baby ❤️ She’s making the most of your time.

    And her whiskers are so longgg

    source

    • just_kitten@aussie.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Her whiskers are truly astounding. I’ve collected a few over time and some are longer than my fingers. She’s such a baby. Spoiled her with a churu and more cuddles because she is going to hate being forced into the carrier fairly soon

  Managed to sleep in way too late.

  Woke up to a tv that was on, is it haunted?

  Now to figure out food and coffee.

  source

  • Taleya@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    got a fetchbox? When they reboot they can wake a tv that powers on hdmi signal.

    source

    • Duenan@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      No, I don’t have a fetch box. It’s connected to an audio receiver though.

  Gym done. Decided to get a trainer again. I need some accountability around nutrition.

  I eat well, but I think it could be better and someone to help me strengthen my shoulder to avoid migraines would be amazing.

  source

  • Duenan@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    That would be amazing if you could work out the kinks with your shoulder so you didn’t get migraines from it again.

  Quick spoiler free movie review:

  28 Years Later is really a family drama interspersed with terrifying fights for survival. Although there are some jump scares, It’s not so much a horror, but a thrilling and curious dreamlike adventure into the heart of darkness (with gorey bits of bone, flesh, and blood spattered about)

  The tone is medieval and fairytale like, reminiscent of the movie “Men”, (another Alex Garland project) or even David Lowery’s “The Green Night”.

  There is a folksy, cottage-core vibe here, interspersed with artistic camera flourishes and heart racing terror. Some very effective freeze-frame kill shot camera work add to memorable chase scenes. (Apparently quite a bit was shot on iPhone)

  Various classes of zombie inhabit this world from fat, hippo-like slow crawling worm eaters to muscular 10 foot tall alpha males. All of the infected are suitably terrifying and deliver the goods.

  The main actors played their parts dutifully with Ralph Fiennes being the most notable. He played a doctor and curious hermit covered in iodine. A kind and sympathetic man with the fortitude to live on his own, but, also deranged enough to spend years building a shrine to death itself.

  The soundtrack is really cool and is used effectively throughout. Written by Scottish progressive hip hop group, Young Fathers. It’s dreadfully creepy and sounds similar to The Haxan Cloak. I found myself playing in the car later in the day.

  I do have some issues with plot and storyline but won’t go into here, as not to spoil story.

  I brought MissGod with me and she rates it highly.

  8.5/10 skull monuments💀

  • Duenan@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    That’s an interesting take on it. Very nice description actually.

    I know nothing Bout the film other than being a zombie film but the way you described it was way off mark of what I originally thought it was going to be.

    source

    • useless_modern_god@aussie.zone ⁨8⁩ ⁨minutes⁩ ago

      Thanks. It’s a film that will catch you off guard with its style.

      source
  • Catfish@aussie.zone ⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Thank you! I’ve seen some reviews that say it verges on a comedy at points. This confuses me. Will probably big screen it but am not in a rush. Love Days, have a hard time remembering Weeks 💀

    • useless_modern_god@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      There are indeed some moments of levity causing the entire theatre to laugh out loud. Not quite “Shaun of the Dead” funny but more humanistic and relatable.

  Day 3 of snot hell. Decided to do another RAT though I suspect it’s just a cold. Thank the flying spaghetti Monster for nasal rinses and real Sudafed. Also warm water with a tsp of honey and a half tsp of ghee has helped with the coughing.

      Don’t think so, cough is not quite like that. I have dodgy sinuses so simple colds can become sagas of snot and congestion of I don’t manage it early. Lots of steam, rinses and drugs.

  Oop… hairball on the bed. Thankfully I have a few doonas. I put a cover on a new one ready to swap out fast when she gets up.

  Not a fan of these ‘space saver’ bags that don’t stay sealed or compressed. Also they’re large so you have to haul the bulky thing down and dig through. Not really working as intended… maybe I should just divide things into smaller stackable blanket boxes, and sorted in categories.

  And declutter… I just wish I could find clothes that fit and are comfortable so I could cull all the ones I keep ‘just in case’.
