So, Freddy just came on today and caught me in a pensive moment.
This song hits sooooooo hard looking back on it. It was a dud at the time, his solo efforts were a complete failure. The lyrics of this cover though: I’ve been thinking about what was going on in his life at this time. Hiding his sexuality. Hiding the fact that he has Aids. Looking closely at his made-up face, you can see he is already starting his decline even here. But, he’s pretending.
We lost one of the good ones. ☹️
Did you guys see that kayak fishing video with the great white…Jesus Christ that was a big shark.
Someone mentioned it at work. Sounded pretty freaking scary
Saw a bloke today who looked and dressed just like Frank Costanza. I wonder if he knew or was oblivious.
Was thinking that old lady from NYC who was famous for wearing gaudy clothes wouldn’t even warrant a head turn in Brunnie.
Do you mean Iris Apfel? She’s amazing
everyone in Brunnie is amazing
Her sleepy face is so cute
It feels weird not to be angry about work. That’s really fucking sad to admit but it’s true.
Thankfully there’s a 2nd date to look forward to! It’ll be nice to have some good vibes.
I’m proud of you :)
Thank you :)
Plan: go to school in a dress, but bring along pants and a long sleeve shirt (as we have to wear that due to handling animals). Get to school, the get changed.
Because knowing the bus, it’s aircon is gonna be kaput
So gross and sticky and yuck and ugh and bleah and thank fuck for some cooler weather on the weekend. I am OVER this heat. I don’t want to do my dishes or cook… feel like a petulant child. Waaah.
E: my bedroom is dead-set like 10C warmer than the living room and even the CUPBOARDS feel hot. Also, my west facing bathroom clearly has the pipes facing west as well as the water out of the COLD tap was straight up HOT for a solid 30-40 seconds. Maybe tonight I will indeed sleep in the living room
Ditto and tomorrow is going to be even more horrible.
I have to go pick up some food in St Kilda but other than that I’m not moving out of my air conditioned lounge room. Tomorrow is gross and my colleagues are rightfully not going to do any fieldwork during that period
Hopefully you don’t get caught up on the potential rains and thunderstorms in the afternoon/evening.
Last time that happened it was a terror.
Ugh no. I think I’ll head out around 11ish and get back asap.
Fucking aye!
Preach
Last week I got an email from the casino (haven’t been in about 6 years) that I have $700 in the cage that they’ll send to the revenue office if I don’t collect it. Just collected it. 😎 Free money that’s not actually free, score.
This is the first positive casino story I’ve ever heard.
I have another! On my first visit to Las Vegas, I was walking through the New York, New York casino - headed for the roller-coaster. I needed to pass by a room full of slot machines (pokies). I figured I’m in Vegas, I need to gamble something. So, I dropped a quarter into a slot machine. It paid out $27 or so. I cashed out immediately, It was enough to pay for dinner and a couple of rides on the roller coaster.
Great casino! Some visitors win every time!
Treating a BIBLICAL fungus gnat plague right now. This warmth and humidity has clearly horned them up.
They’ve definitely been going into overdrive over the last month, I thought I had vanquished them all but clearly not. The gnat traps have harvested many victims so far
just saw the trailer for Renner and honestly, that is an adult Malcolm finally snapping and going off his shits. And you can’t convince me otherwise
Why don’t more women use a BBQ to cook.? Or is it just that way in my small sphere of life experiences, in which males dominate that space?
Men like to think that it’s some sort of special craft while women silently think “I can do that on my stove” but are happy to let someone else stand there to cook. Anyone.
I’m not sure but I ain’t letting my ol’ boy near the bbq carbon isn’t nutritious.
Men like things that they think are estoteric. Same reason why:
- housework is “woman work” but doing outside work is “man work”
- women are “good at admin” but the c-suite is male dominated
- “cooking in a kitchen” is a “woman’s job”, but “being a cook/chef in a restaurant” is a “man’s job”.
As soon as one can excel in a certain area or skill, and make money from it, it becomes male dominated.
See: sexism.
Also, regarding BBQs, women do most of the prep and make salads and stuff, and the man sits outside with his beer and mates and “cooks” the woman-prepped meat/skewers on the bbq, occasionally turning it.
Note: necessary “not all men” so I don’t get piled on lol
Women do use bbqs, we just manage it without an audience. And without expecting gushing praise for cooking a simple meal.
because I use the grill indoors
Honestly indoors makes the whole thing easier lol. Not a M/F thing it’s just quicker and more controlled.
My mum barbeques more than my dad does, because she cooks more. My dad will only bbq to help out in bbqs, but my mum uses it more generally.
It’s a man’s job to be handed everything he needs already prepared so he can burn it to within an inch of charcoal and proclaim that he has cooked dinner for the family. But jokes aside, I use our baby weber q more than he does. I don’t do a bbq as such but I’ll use it for a roast, pizza, bread or even as a substitute oven on days like today so I don’t heat up the whole house.
2nd one went better i think. And now I have another tomorrow lol
This is little miss bossy boots of the strays
Man those DNA tests sure are fucking expensive…
apple, plain yogurt and some savoys. Afternoon tea of champions. Dont know why the combo works but it does!

When the conditions are right … No wonder my compost has been sprouting tomatoes
PSA for anyone with pets, seems like a microchip database company has gone out of business. Doesn’t really say what you can do to check if it affects your pet, maybe check with your vet?
for those wondering:
- it’s not Central Animal Records
- Central Animal Records are offering a registration pathway
Das ist gut. Mickey is already with Central Animal Records, phew!
Melbcat is thankfully registered with a different company but good to know
