Got the $50 tucker fucker from BigW. Heated up last night’s apricot-tofu and it worked a treat. It’s way smaller than my giant dead Smeg so that’s a bonus too.

Think of the loudest yet funniest snoring sound a cat can make.
And that’s why I’ve been awake since 4am lol
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 1 month ago
It’s surprising how loudly they can snore
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Yeah I had no idea until fairly recently.
I got woken up in the middle of the night thinking someone was trying to open my bedroom window. And it cat snores lol

Today is International Artist Day. 🎨
we can use this day to be inspired to do something arty
we can sort through stuff, read an art book, write about projects in a note book, visit a museum :)

Problem is I’m not an artist, just a fraud.
…I could do a forgery? Or tape a banana to the wall?
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 month ago
every one is
just fake it til you make it
don’t give up, keep working at it
damn, if I were closer I would suggest we have “do art together” afternoons , it’s nice to do art with others :)

I’m baking sourdough from scratch, does that count? I just can’t get it quite right, but I’m really confident that today I’ll be even closer to getting it almost right 🤣

Had a nightmare I was being waterboarded with red wine (wineboarded?) in the rafters of an empty theatre by a certain musky rat. Brain, respectfully… what the fuck.

Turns out it’s that time of the month. I also had a dream that I got it so bad at a friend’s house that they just replaced the toilet.

I hate where I live so much. It’s destroying my mental health and keeping me constantly hypervigilant but there are no other affordable options. I’ve applied for a transfer but have been waiting for a very long time and could be waiting much longer. Fuck the social issues and housing crisis of Melbourne… Just wish I could grab Melbcat and get us both to safety.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Is there something you can do in the meantime that would make you feel safer?
Start a neighborhood watch perhaps?
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Unfortunately not. Some of the neighbours are the the issue and I’m really not comfortable opening up to people now.
Back when I did a few of us used to club together and support one another but even that didn’t help much. For me my area is a write off

I’ve actively been trying to get out of here for almost 10 years now.
I finally got onto priority but it took years for anything to come up and they tried to put me somewhere that had had two murders within the last few weeks (both a couple of streets away).
The next place was also an incredibly dodgy property with stairs (I wouldn’t be able to manage).
I got booted off priority and had to fight to get back on. I’ve changed applied areas now and have my fingers crossed for somewhere quiet

The tab key on my keyboard has started sticking for no obvious reason. All of my workflows that involved multiple tab presses have been completely messed up.

Did you think I’d give up that easy, pirated audio application?
Fuck you I win hahaha
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Fuck we’re gonna have guess which one…
You’ll have to give a hint.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 month ago
It’s a drum plugin and sample manager with a sequencer built in.
Name of company and name of app start with the same letter (more helpful than it seems).
Company also has an acoustic drum plugin
Take a guess lol
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 1 month ago
OT but do you use Guitar Rig at all?
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 month ago
That was my first ever plugin!!!
I was so fucking excited that I could affect my guitar in real time lol
It still holds up tbh. I have it installed and use it for certain things.
Have you got a copy?
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Not gibson but i like it. There are so many amp sims out there it’s hard to keep up.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Unraveled the unfinished string bag because it felt like the yarn would do more good as a crocheted blanket. Fighting with dang twisting stitches. Why are hobbies not fun 😑
Heard a little sneeze outside and it’s the black cat in my yard hooking into Melbcat’s potted cat grass! (I rotate multiple pots between indoor and outdoor to allow sun and rain while regrowing from being eaten.)
Thankfully she hasn’t seen him to get distressed about him being in her territory. She’s tucked under the blanket. But I’m a little bit worried about traces of his saliva on her grass.
She gets vaccinated but at her age her immune system is vulnerable and the antibiotics she’s on have the risk to make her immunocompromised. He runs around day and night with no collar so I’m going to assume no shots.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Someone once told me to have the confidence of a man when applying for jobs. It’s debatable how much confidence a man actually has in this scenario, but after a long day of feeling powerless when people steal, I have started applying for some jobs. Retail is great for penalty rates on the weekend, plus I do like the team I’m in and sometimes the customers, but it does feel a bit like a hot-and-cold relationship at times.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 1 month ago
The reason for that saying is there has been research that men will apply for a job if they think they meet about 40% of a job description, whereas a woman will usually only apply for a job if they’re confident they can do 100% of the tasks listed.
And from my experience there are times when the only way to get anywhere in the job market is quantity over quality. So at times I’ll just put in for things because job titles match or it feels like something I can do based on vibes. Don’t be afraid to just put in for something, even if you feel like it’s a stretch. Jobs take more from us than we ever give them so fuck’em

It was kinda slim pickings at the farmers market today but I did pick up some yummy greens. And I got a Kenyan BBQ seasoning that is currently cooking on some chicken. Oh and randomly picked up some rakia. So a strange haul but good.

Blurggg.
Had a chat w/ bro last night. Dude is flat out gunning for ol’ girls’ coin.
Bit of history, back in the day daughters were often left out of wills and the boys got everything. O’l girl was left out and her brothers got everything. Her mum though (my grandmother) left her (and ony her) everything of hers including the proceeds from the sale of her house because the same shit probably happened to her (back in the day before property shit so hardly enough these days for a deposit lol). But it’s hers.
Anyway ol’ boy transferred that coin (with her permission) into something joint that actually gets interest which is fine. Now bro is demanding a slice of it. Now the ol’ boy would have to agree (which he won’t).
I can’t believe this cunt.
Been thinking about this all morning. At a loss on what to do. Something tells me to stay out. But at the same time ol’ girl might feel like she has no agency… it’s her coin after all.
Just feels like sharks circling the pool.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I’m sorry you’re going through this. I went through something very similar.
Best you can do is speak to the old man and give him a heads up so he’s not caught off guard maybe.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Yeah I think you’re right. It won’t be pretty though… hrmm…
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 month ago
This might be opinionated but… I don’t know if he deserves it. At all.
I don’t hear about him coming over cooking, making meal plans, liasing with doctors and dietitians, nudging her to eat… or even really being there.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Yep… I feel so defeated being honest.
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 1 month ago
That’s horrible and insanely entitled. Your poor mum, having to put up with dealing with that with everything else she’s going through. Maybe she could use ‘might need it for aged care’ as a line to put him off (even if she doesn’t need it for that). And aged care deposits do cost a bomb.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 month ago
as long as you have people you trust it will be fine
