    I put in an application to volunteer at a cattery, and originally had to sign up for the orientation in April, but! They had a couple of cancellations so I get to attend tomorrow instead!

    Yay! Finally, things are starting to turn around! Have to be up at sparrows fart though, to travel on two trams out to the SE, but definitely worth it!

        As much fun as herding cats?

          I herd cats on a daily basis. Temptations treats are the key to compliance.

    I’m hosting a training session this morning, but my new gaming rig JUST arrived. VERY tempted to go “Ok gang! Today we’re setting up Windows 11 and installing steam and drivers! Are we ready? First up, does anyone know if Helldivers 2 or Boulders Gate 3 use their own launchers? No? Ok so here’s how we’re going to find out!”

      I don’t know what any of that means but couldn’t you do one of those reviews like they do on YouTube. This is the box it comes in. This is what’s inside. Let’s open it. Here’s the instructions…. Make it stretch to a half an hour while everyone watching is thinking fucking hurry up.

        One of my 'puters is 11 and it’s stable.

        Only headscratcher was TPM 2.0 which was easily worked around with rufus.

          Doesn’t this leave you vulnerable to them dropping windows update for you because you’re not TECHNICALLY on supported hardware?

        So far? Seems stable, but yet to actually play anything. My laptop runs 11 and seems happy enough with it though.

    Stayed at home today. Feeling run down and sniffly. I slept in for quite awhile and decided to make chicken bullion soup with egg and veggies in it and boiling pasta with it.

    Me thinks this weekend will be mostly soups for meals.

    I have quite a bit of life-admin to do today. Being an adult is so arduous sometimes. 😭

      I did warm calling for SP Ausnet, back when they were installing smart meters. Boy oh boy, the amount of drivel I heard about the “dangers of 5G”. Literally had one guy threaten to shoot our tech and myself. (I got him a police escort instead haha).

      People are wack af

          In my experience it’s almost always the people who smoke 2 packs a day, drink more booze than I thought a bottle shop could stock, and drive at 30km/h over the limit at all times that’ll bitch about 5G causing them brain damage, or COVID vaccines being microchips or whatever the latest conspiracy is

    Forgot to mention Mrs’s B’s car got a good mechanical check, its with the mechanic today getting the RWC sorted but so far it looks and feels pretty good for a 12 year old car. Might need to replace the stereo with something carplay compatible though. Lets just say Bluetooth tech has come a long way.

      Definitely socking away money for carplay installation if I get a car without one (likely). Can’t live without it now after getting used to it. So much safer than phone on a cradle

    Shit 2 weeks at work and I’m OK? It’s my job to look after my people even if they have fucked up and they have

    But I’m not doing great generally. I’m feeling worn down. I will literally expend my all my energy to provide support for my team, but I’m flagging.

    The crow remake looks like a piece of shit.

    Time to torrent the old one and watch it tonight in 4k.

      I’m fed up with remakes in general. Yes, there are purportedly only X number of plots, but you could at least try to make something new.

        Some things need a remake. Lord of the Rings needed the remake and is now outstanding. Dune needed a remake, though I don’t know if the new one is good.

        The Mummy did not need a remake.
        Total Recall did not need a remake.
        The Crow did not need a remake.

      I’m shocked at how oddly nondescript it looks. It looks like a boring revenge flick. What’s up with all these revenge flicks anyway? Someone needs to make a cinematic universe revenge crossover spoof series. Where’s Leslie Nielsen when we needed him most. Oh, right. Yeah.

      Can I ask what genre of music you make? Where do you get your inspiration from? Favourite bands?

        Hi! Sorry for the late reply 🙂

        I listen to everything from Ben Harper and Jeff Buckley, to nine inch nails and Deftones.

        My inspiration mainly comes from my past and my day to day life. I find it I’m being a hermit then I lack inspiration. I need experiences to push my creative buttons.

        These days I mainly make acoustic singer songwriter stuff, play in a punk band, and also make my own “Egyptian industrial” weird thing lol

        How about yourself?

          We play all those on a Friday.

          I like anything a little bit different. Talking Heads, Supertramp, T rex, George Thorogood, Paul Simon, RHCP, Jack Johnson. So many to name. Mainly stuff with a good bass.

          I don’t know if you know who Natacha Atlas is but you might like her. She’s an Egyptian-Belgian who we sometimes play.

      In the last couple of years I’ve been learning drums. Have had a few jams with a mate on guitar. Does that count? Tell me I’m an ARTIST!

          I started on electric, but kinda hated it, so recently splurged on an acoustic kit, which I love!

        if you do stuff you’re an artist

        but being an artist who is famous and earns a good living, that’s something different again

        some people want to be famous, some just want to do their stuff and maybe make themselves and other people happy and that’s enough
