Today's gonna be painful
And the just joey is full tilt

Little bit of a rambling. I'm sitting here writing notes, made a mistake so I scrubbed it out and then I realised I can erase it out because it's an erasable gel pen. Then I remembered the old pen rubbers that did diddly squat but rip your paper so everyone used liquid paper instead. Got me thinking.
What has come a long way (for the better) since your childhood?
Photocopiers. Like, we have photocopiers now. They were revolutionary. Don't start me on what life was like before them.
Hot water services - no more stuffing the 10 gallon chip heater with briquette fragments and wood chips before doing the washing up or taking a bath or washing hair. And stuffing it again if you ran out of hot water.
just reading this made me flash back to the smell of mimeograph ink.
mmm. purple.

Liquid paper tape so much better than the fluid with the brush and the liquid paper pens.
Mechanical pencils are way better now.
So many girls used it on their fingernails then coloured them in with texta.
That was a thing back home too.
Tights & stockings. They used to get runs in them on the first wear but now they last for years.
I remember being able to get different colours like maroon and purple panty hose. Why? I dunno.
Those pen erasers have come a long way. The guys driving around on purple plates use them to fake their rego book entries. Looks like real pen, erases fully.
Right. The trick is not to press too hard on the page. Works like a dream.
Engine oil
How so?
Synthetic oil became widely available for consumers in our lifetime. It offers superior lubricating performance and longevity.
So now we don’t have to change it out nearly as often.
So that’s a small comfort.
Interesting. Oils ain't oils.
Super exciting stuff haha
I understand synthetic oil is nearly as good as whale oil for lubricating. I also understand that whale oil is still used in space craft and F1 race cars because it's still the absolute best for the purpose.
It costs about $400 to climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Bit exxy. Worth it?
It seems both an expensive and reasonable price. I'd pass on it.
Very much worth it. You get a full historical guided tour and of course the views. We paid for photos as well which came out great.
I guess that would cover the safety gear you have to wear and the guide etc. Understandable, but worth it? Dunno. I'm told the view is amazing.
That actually strikes me as quite reasonable pricing, you're not getting that experience from anything else

feeling OK today. You know that scene in the last air bender where Aang opens up his chakras? felt very similar (embarrassingly) to that. I'm not sure I believe in that stuff but its just what it felt like. First time I sort of bounced off the "avatar state" (or whatever the fuck the end goal of whatever this journey my mind is trying to take is). But I tried again and sort of got that connection. Was nice.
I just had this voice in my head go "Be brave, dig deep". The music hit the right note and I just sort of fell into it.
Sadly, no sign of any bending abilities.
this weather is perfect
Work in indoor windowless dungeon, wouldn't know :(
sending a knight and a white horse over 🥷🏻🎠
My saviour! :D
