Really good unKAOS day. Started off by doomscrolling but then did a dumbbells workout I found on YouTube, completed day 1 of C25k, cooked some daal and now I'm going to do some music practise and put on a movie. I feel the best I've felt in a long time :)

Beautiful.
I've got a cousin moving to Australia in a couple of weeks. It'll be the first family member I've seen since I was in high school.
Kind of exciting, but also nervous.
this is awesome ๐
and also the first time they have seen you in ages and they are moving too, they must be excited and nervous too
I'm an only child and my cousins we're like my siblings.
We don't talk much (distance and time zones)... but we're still close...if that makes sense
Dear kitten jesus.
Thank you. Thank you that it's Friday.

Such a great voice.
The isolated vocals version of Total eclipse of the heart is the best song I've ever heard
I get shivers in my butt hole
Cake tickets on sale today. $130.
Might look into it. Thanks.
Omg!!!!!
Thanks for the heads up!
Gaerea are playing tonight as well if you want some 3 guitar technicality
Off to a DnB thing tonight at the carlton club. Never been. Looks like a very nice place going from the photos.
Free and $10 pints (apparently). Bit suspicious of the pints though.
I swear Alfie is having the kind of day where he is deliberately annoying me. Leave me alonneeeee!!
What's it all about
Grocery shopping done.
House cleaned.
Daughter going to concert.
Dan Murphy's had a clearance on some interesting liquor.
Still have some work to finish, but start to weekend is looking pretty sweet.
I just remembered, Gaerea isn't the technical 3 guitar band. That's Unprocessed. Gaerea is the all black wearing black metal band. I wonder what crowd crossover there will be of the Deafheaven show last night and tonight
It's a sunny day, think I will take a walk and take some pics of flowers ๐ธ
Am stuck inside mostly so putting in an order for flower pics!
ok ๐
It is so beautiful outside, enjoy your walk!
Look up 762 Media if you want some good long form train content. They do documentaries on trains and train lines around here. And with their view counts they're in it for the love of the game
A nice ride to lunch with the family on an unofficial day off. I haven't been riding as much recently so it's always nice to get on there when I can
RIP Derryn Hinch. He was controversial but I liked his no bullshit attitude, and naming and shaming pedo priests.
What pisses me off about Mr Hinch is that he got a kidney transplant by pulling a LOT of strings to go to the top of the list, then once the transplant had taken, he went out and celebrated by getting drunk. Can't argue with his campaign against pedos and the like, but he could also do major cognitive dissonance without blinking an eye. Not sorry he's gone - one good thing doesn't imo balance out his commitment to being oppositional for the publicity feelgoods in the worst way.
EDIT: he lived before clicks and views, but that was what drove him. An obligate hypocrite of the deepest dye. FURTHER EDIT: and a close friend of Rolf Harris.
Yeah agree the organ donation was not respected by him. I didnโt know about the Rolf Harris connection. Ick.
Me too. Name and shame.
allergy news
since I have cut 99% of dairy out of my diet I no longer have tingly lips and nose and I no longer have a sore throat. I had a sore throat for 8 months. So been better for about 3 weeks. It's a great relief.
Try and google a quote (spike slapping wet concrete avenue 5) . Get an ai summary that might look promosing. It's two lines of that quote and fourteen paragraphs on the etymology of the phrase. Tell summary to fuck off. Google spike "like slapping wet". Google now claims no results

Up early for an NBN tech to come over, hoping that's done nice and easy and then I have absolutely no idea what I want to do today.
