    Shops done. Missed Kmart though, so an excuse to go window shop tomorrow ig

    Fuck shopping centres that half shit down at night time for no good reason. I went in the main entrance, as one does. That was open, but half way down was closed. Had to do a 10 minute detour around to the other side of the building to get to the supermarket entrance

    I realise they probably try and justify it by arguing about all the closed shops, but it’s really just ridiculous. It’s such a car centric way of thinking

    This happened at highpoint too where they closed the entrance from the bus bays and I had to walk about 20 mins iirc to get to the other side, and part of it didn’t even have a footpath or the footpath just ended. It’s ridiculous.

      Had to take the Minipeelers to a birthday party at highpoint and it finished with a movie that finished after the most of the joint closed. It was a weird feeling walking through the place, a real liminal space kind of thing.

        I went to see a late night movie with the old LT a few months ago, too, and hard agree. We did a bit of a cheeky and went somewhere it was implied (but in our defense never stated!) we weren’t meant to go. Lights dimmed, escalators off, etc. super odd feeling. Pretty sure I took a video cause it was just so unusual feeling

        The supermarket was almost empty today, and they were playing the butter sweet symphony. That’s an interesting feeling listening to in an empty supermarket as well haha. Reminded me of that hey there Delilah in an empty shopping centre video from the states that went viral some time ago. Slightly sad but also somewhat nostalgic song in an empty place that’s usually busy created an interesting atmosphere
