Fuckign Ozbargain has done it again. A scotch gift pack with the two glasses for cheaper than the bottle by itself.
That website is not for saving money

I’ve had that on Door Dash before - a gift box of liquor cheaper delivered than going to pick it up in store. Nuts.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 3 days ago
That’s the classic loss leader approach to get you used to using the app. These glasses they come with must cost nothing because these packs are often the same price as the bottle on its own

Had a lovely date night with mein liebe. Dinner at Olivine Wine Bar at Pentridge, but exxy but highly recommend! Had two oysters each, a goat cheese and beetroot tart, and fried chicken lol, exquisite! The cocktails were phenomenal! And the bar is in one of the prison houses, so all the cells are converted to little rooms with tables and chairs, it’s surprising cozy!
Went to Palace Cinema and watched Digger. Highly recommend it, loved it! Tom Cruise and John Goodman are fucking awesome and the story is wild and artsy, with an amazingly poingnant message. 9/10, point deducted for being over 2 hours long. Same director as The Revenant and Birdman, so I should have known lol

I can’t wait to see Digger, I love Iñárritu so much. Have you seen Bardo? That was also very good.
StudChud@aussie.zone 2 days ago
He’s such an artist, Iñárritu is, I always get lost in his films. I think you’ll like Digger, it’s trailer doesn’t do the film justice; it’s a trip of a movie.
No I haven’t seen Bardo but I’ve been meaning to! I’ll have to give it a watch :)

oooof. was gonna get a can of plastidip - dipping not spray - to redo the fingertips of my working gloves. Like, fifteen pairs (I’ve been handing a lot of rock). $50 for a half litre. Not too bad.
$110 shipping. get faaaaaaaaaarked
so uh, anyone got an alternate? Looking for brush on or dip over spray since I’m basically putting little rubber finger hats on the tips.

This month’s fruit & veg box arrived today and I just ate half a melon. I now have an over supply of green apples, so will need to plan some cooking. I also got two bags of little carrots - they are about half as long as the ‘standard’ size you tend to get, but just at thick. Absolutely perfect for a single person.
StudChud@aussie.zone 3 days ago
Had a couple of spritzes last night and didn’t realise each tiny can was 8%. Passed the fuck out at like 9pm lol.
Up at 5am though, of course 🙄😱💀
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 3 days ago
What were they? Any good?
StudChud@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Yes they were amazing! I had The Bluestone and partner had the Berry-Vaider. Idk how to describe them they were like drinking a desert lol

Someone kindly left brownies in my office for me and they smell so sickly sweet. Between that and the hayfever, my nose is not happy today. Though I guess, given what BR saw yesterday, I should be glad I still have my nose.

Went to the Rome exhibition yesterday.
Was good.
Many of the sculptures of people were missing their noses. Deliberate? Weathering? Both? I guess we’ll never know.
Favourite was a zodiac sundial at the end. Thing was in mint condition.
2nd fave was a statue of Bacchus, god of all sorts of shit including wine. Dude knew how to partay. Respect the wine god.
StudChud@aussie.zone 3 days ago
It was both, regarding the noses. It can be a weak spot in the sculpture so can wear and break easily. But also, yeah vandals and stuff would do it too.
And as Catfish said, the Vatican lopped the statues doodles off because “oh no a penis!”.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 days ago
Vandals. 🤭
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 days ago
That was a really good exhibition.
It showed all aspects of Roman life and each object, each exhibit, was a masterpiece
I loved all the little bronzes and all the coins.
Catfish@aussie.zone 3 days ago
Do not disrespect Bacchus, the meanads will eat you.
Noses I can’t say, but there is reputedly a large collection of removed genitals in the Vatican archive.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 3 days ago
This poor bacchus had his genitals removed too. There was a hole there which makes me wonder if it was a water feature.
An ancient peeing bacchus.

It’s Loud Shirt Day 👂👚
I didn’t know about it until I saw it on Sunrise this morning.

I realise my sister is not doing great, up to her armpits in mental health crisis. I fully validate the legitimacy of what’s going on. I love her. I very much want to help her, and have come running the moment she’s said “can you watch the kids” or whatever.
I recognise all of these things.
I still don’t think I deserve to be her emotional punching bag because she’s upset with another person who isn’t actually me
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 days ago
Yeah nah. You don’t deserve that. Maybe start with “I love you and I want to help you but if you yell at me, I’m leaving”.
I’ve actually had to do something similar with my sister who rants loudly about people to me over the phone. I have threatened to hang up and I have done it. I don’t yell so I won’t take it from anyone else.

Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 3 days ago
Indeed you do NOT deserve to be *anybody’*s punching bag. Does she think she’s ‘sharing’ or ‘venting’ or some such, rather than what is actually happening? I appreciate that she is probably not ready to hear that what she’s doing is over the limits of the acceptable. Can only suggest some kind of therapy - for her. But that could be a very delicate negotiation.
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 3 days ago
She got mad at me for cadging a lift from the person she was mad at.
I had no idea of the undercurrent, I just needed transport. Cue shouting at me for doing it this way.
…I’d come there at her request to care for her kids
