Never ended up taking that nap, just been idly existing all day.
Been playing Brotato as well, that's all I've done. Tomorrow I will catch up on the recording for the theory classes I missed when I was doing first aid.
I had a really nice chat with my classmates on Thursday and Friday, and one in particular we both just wandered around campus at lunch talking. Old me would have balked at being so social and open, but I'm so glad to be who I am now that I find great happiness in talking to others who I don't know well.
Edit: istg if that squeaking starts up again tonight I'm gonna throw everything off my balcony into the alley. I hate that I couldn't figure out what it was, and it stopped when the wind died down. Fucker.
windz howling
Currently looking for mango recipes that aren't jam.. was going to make chutney but have found myself mysteriously lacking in ingredients for it 😒Too lazy to go out and get stuff. Might just freeze it until I get some vinegar and spices tomorrow. Got my heart set on chutney to go with chicken curry.
Glorious day, crisper drawer stew with chicken wings in the slow cooker for tonight and tomorrow's lunch, glass of cold white whine in hand, laundry all done including household linens, nice music on the music machine. Nowt to do but eat, drink and be merry. Life is good.
Someone brought home cannoli !💃🪩🕺
24.7 degrees? What sort of stupid temperature is that for 4am? Someone clearly forgot to turn down the thermostat overnight.
It's stupidly windy and random things keep creaking and banging. Mr Woof was a bit alarmed by a plant pot that was walking itself down the street.
Shitty day yesterday. slow start but now I am here. Kitchen looks like a bomb hit it and bits dumped everywhere (geez I can wreck a joint when black dog gets me for a couple of days).
But sun is out and mood is up. Gonna wander to the local for coffee and toastie then back for a clean up.
I am working mon/Tues so this can be my long weekend treat.
stuff is happening 🙂
and yesterday I took Bill for a walk in the cat stroller. He meowed a bit, he will get used to it.
I swear to God I spoil Chook rotten. Many new toys
We went to the Kaiga Convention today. It's like a dedicated artists alley you get at other conventions. It was good if that's more your thing, and there's a similar market in December.
The weirdest thing is it was at the Crown Convention Centre, the only time I've been there is for a boring B2B conference. It was jarring setting the same room for corporate shit filled with anime artists
Movie Review.
How is it it can take me many many watches to actually get all a plot?
Ben Hur. 1959. This movie is long and spectacular. You can see it's made with a lot of care to costuming and sets. Many of the scenes look familiar because they have been copied so much since but this movie did it first and best. The dialogue is also so good.
I would say this movie was made with love and respect for the subject
four hobbits. I think I will buy a book about this movie.
Honest Thief. Cute love/action/cop movie with Liam Neeson.
four hobbits because i have a soft spot for guys in love
Caught up with a friend from work today.
Two hours after hearing her talk about herself and her life: "I wanna hear about you now."
Do you though?!
It was a nice afternoon in the sun. Some people were playing soccer in the park and set up their cones around where we were sitting. We had to move because we were in the middle of their "pitch".
20/50 - missed a couple of easies (or shoulda been easies)
I had a lovely sleep in, then lolled in bed reading my book. Breakfast has been had, I am clean, I am dressed.
Some spring cleaning will take place this morning, please watch for falling debris
Bathroom clean. Bedroom clean. Washing in machine. Plants watered and generally talked to.
Kitchen next so I can get some food prep done. Then floors and a quick straighten of the living room.
I woke up, now time to watch T1 vs BLG
