    Skies darkening, red blob on radar heading directly to me, it’s about to go down.

      In the last 10 minutes it hammered down with a couple of boom booms and now the sun’s out and the birds are chirping and flapping again. Strange days indeed.

    Just had a chat to the ol’ man about how to go about this new potat patch. It’s almost there and I said the shovel is the one to use for the rest. He said “you mean the spade”.

    And it reminded me of my late grandma’s saying :“A spade is a spade and not a fucking shovel”.

    Ok, for real, after seeing him in Yellowjackets the question has to be asked:

    Did Elijah Wood really get rid of the one ring? He has not aged a day in 20 years.

      Don’t ask me. Just this week I’ve bought one for the child’s birthday in December. I’m having the hardest time not spilling the beans because he is gonna lose his mind when he gets it.

      1. you hate fun
      2. you dislike treating yourself to things you deserve
      3. the idea of playing awesome games like rift apart, FFXVI, Spiderman2 or Astrobot makes your skin crawl.

      Have you finished BG3 yet?

        I had to sell my ps5 when I was unemployed so never got to finish bg3. Which fucking sucked tbh.

        I’m super keen to grab one, was just trying to think of negatives to balance the equation.

          ok so to be realistic, do you have enough savings that if the company went under tomorrow you’d be ok till you secured a new job?

            I have about 6 months of savings. It was the first thing I did when I get my first couple of paycheques.

            I have 6 months rent saved plus all expenses.

              to be blunt, then I cant see a good reason NOT to get a PS5 if its what you really want. keep in mind a steamdeck is now around 700 bucks though, and EVENTUALLY most Sony games come to steam.

    I did it! I got the contact I interviewed for. I just need to go through reference checks and I’ll start in a week. Everything has worked out and lined up for once.

    This will get me on the other side of Christmas if I don’t get anything else, and it will give me recent experience in the space I want to work in again.

    Been getting into baseball this year, with the playoffs going on right now and there is nothing so satisfying as the sound the ball makes off the bat when they crush a home run.

    Today’s Yankees/Guardians game was crazy.

    Definitely soggy out there today. I’m glad the food market is now fully under cover. There wasn’t a lot today, but I did get some nice beef sausages and some strawberries.

    Gotta laugh: about to leave to go camping near NSW/VIC border. If we can get through today without being washed away I’ll be happy.

    I’ve watched some really weird stuff in my life but Paul T Goldman mini series would have to be up there with the most bizarre shit I have ever seen.

    It starts off as a non fiction story and is now morphing into a fictional fantasyland James Bond like tale. Wow.

    I dug out what I thought was a combination DVD and VHS player and plugged it into the TV, turns out it was just a really big DVD player. I couldn’t get it working with the RCA inputs into the receiver so I’ve just hooked up the other DVD player for the moment. The current DVD player also has RCA output and that didn’t work either, so it could be the cable.

    I put on some DVDs for the kids and it was so much better. You know what you’re in for, the shows have a proper start and end, and they can pick out a DVD like they do books when they’re ready
