YL having her licence has been life saving. Today she went grocery shopping for me now she’s driving us to get something to eat. I am milking this as much as I can for now.

Make that 4 interviews on Friday!
Universe, you’re a legend.
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
You’re a legend too! That’s awesome. Good luck
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Thank you :) I’m just putting out a dozen applications a day or more.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
You’re going to be flat out on Friday. Make sure to drink plenty of water
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Gatorade to the rescue. 2 in person and 2 virtual.
Catfish@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Sounds exhausting! Luck 🍀

I went to the night market, and it was bountiful.
I had
- churrasco. Delicious rump steak.
- chicken momos with chutney. Momo man gave me an extra one because I took his dare on adding All Of The Chilli
- mojito
- mint-choc macaron
- blackberry vodka and soda
- rhubarb and pistachio crumble, with custard and a smattering of rose petals
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Blegh day for me I’m interested in just the vodka, possibly in the mojito.
Catfish@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I am rather interested in that crumble
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Did we go to the same night market?
I went to the winter one and there was nothing of the sorts
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
They’ve had one on for Fringe Festival for the past few weeks. Different spread of options
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Physio fixed my shoulder so I can actually do stuff. Can’t go to rehearsal tomorrow because I haven’t had a chance to learn new material.
I realised today how long it’s been since I’ve just walked around the city. I felt so uncomfortable and that’s not good.
So I’ll be going in everyday I don’t have an interview. There’s a franchise of the gym i go to so two birds one stone.

On my way home from work now and it feels a bit too warm
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Lady in my course I was speaking to today also did a partly solo trip to Japan and gave me some details of where she stayed! Her partner did a working holiday over there like my friend is doing, which is a funny coincidence.

My mouth, my mouth, my mouth is on FIRE! Gotta love the good ol’ “all chillies at the end of the banh mi” trick!
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
It’s warm and sunny outside, but also excessively windy. I’ve mowed the front yard and done another run to Bunnings - they have finally restocked the mulch etc. that they were out of yesterday, so I have another four bales of that. I bought a pot for the mint, and bought a couple of other pots that were on special, I think I’ll try them for some basil and corriander.
I need to find something for lunch then get onto the planting.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Good thing I decided to work from home today. One of the kids decided to wake up and have a meltdown at midnight so we were all up quite late.
SaneMartigan@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I just bought myself a Ninja Creami, cos they’re on sale. Made some “ice-cream”, this thing is great. Winged it with: Watermelon, Avo, honey, soy and vanilla protein. Coulda used a pinch of salt and citric acid.
tone212_@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I bought one recently too and love it, I need to try your blend. I’ve been mainly using milk / cream / yoghurt blends which turn out nice.
SaneMartigan@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I’m trying to lower my animal product intake and generally improve my diet. My thought process was starting with the watermelon (cos it was on sale), then adding fat - I was going to soak/blend cashews but had avo’s that needed using, then protein powder cos it’s good, then soy milk because it was too dry, then a smidge of honey to sweeten.
I think I’m gonna try plain pureed watermelon tomorrow.

Oh man. I’m trying to take it easy, try to as least do what I can to support my health and destress…
Bummer, might delete later
But now a chronic nightmare neighbour who I thought had been forced to pull their head in has started up again screaming at a new neighbour. Fun times.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
remember when I rushed out two weeks ago to help someone in distress
I talked to a neighbour and it was just a screamer and her BF who tries to help her
the police are called on her all the time , she still does it
she needs consequences 😡
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
This person has been chronically violent in the past and is possibly mentally ill. Been doing this and worse as long as I’ve lived here.
But after the last incident they were meant to be getting managed. If they start up on me again it’s going back to court

book review/history
Finished listening to Traitor.
The king was a traitor. This is Ed 8
The book didn’t go into all the pressure Ed endured to abdicate while at the same time wallis was pleading for him to stay on the throne.
I recall a report I read decades ago from courtiers and politicians who were the ones who pressed Ed to resign. Not only was Ed a lazy lying thieving bastard , that could be coped with, it was known he was a nazi , not a sympathiser, a full blown believing nazi who had a pact with hitler to surrender with britain to become part of the 3rd reich empire . ( that includes Australia ) Wallis was a paid spy as were their friends.
This is why they were hated and never forgiven by politicians and his family ( who knew every sordid detail ) til the end.
his reputation and the facts were white washed over because they needed the support of the public for the new monarchy, who were related
I have learnt the past decade government can be such a fragile thing.
Taleya@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I’m NGL. my brain just went “William wallis?” and the ed fits and this read very very odd to me before I woke up lol.
but yeah fuck that inbred nazi cunt. There’s a reason why liz wanted him barbecued at the stake

that sounds like a personal version of “The Road”
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I rarely wake up afraid but this messed me up for a while.
I still can’t get the look of terror or silent scream out of my head.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Morning,
the local demolition/construction work continues
I will consider moving house if it continues
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
If I could sneak fluffball in with me I’d go to a hotel for a few nights to get a break.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
In Boomer Shooter news Don’t Stop Girly Pop now has a demo. It looks like Utrakill mixed with 2000’s Bratz doll chic, is made by an Australian dev, and the internet kind of bullied them to change the name to Don’t Stop Girly Pop because it fit the theme of the game so much better than the original name.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
beach and then a few tasks and the day is going well 😊
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
sleepily having a warm drink ☕️
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Wish I could forget about last night’s dream.
Fluffball can ward off the overseer.
Goodnight all ❤️

I also got another USB4 cable for the dock on the TV. The first cable off Aliexpress was perfectly fine. I just felt 50cm was still a little short, so I got a 1m as well. These cables seem pretty solid so worth a stab if you need one instead of like $50 from the places around here
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
We’re at usb 4?!?!
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
It’s still USB-C shaped but it’s all about the insides. I’m not sure if USB4 cables are Thunderbolt cables but they’re the USB-C cables that can do video and internet over USB as well as data
Pilk@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Which store if you don’t mind sharing?
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Here’s the one I got from the most recent order. I haven’t stressed too much about getting a cable from the right store because I’ve just made sure the name lines up and at $4 you either get the cable you were after or a still pretty cheap C to C cable

My new SSD enclosure arrived yesterday as well and this one works. Even with having to buy 2 I’m about $40 ahead of going to a regular store. And the SSD does work, it just doesn’t get picked up by the laptop anymore it seems like. So at least that means I can get the few files I had on there off. I might get the things I want off there and do a reformat, see if the laptop can pick it up again.
I’m not going to rush out and buy another SSD as 2TB is more than enough for it. But it has a free slot and if I can get a little more use out of this SSD I’ll see what can be done.

Subbed to Shudder, because I want to watch the horror films that my fav YT channels analyse.
Just watched Late Night With The Devil (2023) and I was not disappointed at all!
The third act goes hard
5/5 hobbits for found footage horror fans
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
Thanks for reminding me of that film. Meant to watch it a while ago.
StudChud@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
You won’t be disappointed, I won’t hype it too much but it was definitely a film that was made for the horror fan I am 😂
