Discussion Thread 🍜 Thursday 24 July 2025

At long last, I finally got my results for the Cursed Paper of Doom and managed to scrape through an H1 despite a shambles of a presentation - keeping my final score for this dragged-out degree to a low H1. Woohoo!!!!!

Goodnight all. Got a 7am start, which means I've got to get up at.. counts on fingers early. Starting early because finishing early to take Miniest to a meeting at what will hopefully be her (and my) secondary school of choice. Sweet dreams 😗

Good luck tomorrow!
Good luck for the school meeting 🤞🏼

Interesting new clothing shop(?) just opened in Bridge Rd Richmond. Called Infinite Apparel. It's sort of a subscription service for clothes. You pay a monthly subscription, and choose clothes from their racks - number of items depends on subscription size - eg $50 per month for 5 items and 1 pair of either shoes or sunglasses. At end of month you drop off or mail back the clothes and pick out new items to take home. They clean them thoroughly and put those items back on the racks for other users. Sort of a circular shared wardrobe.

Clothing quality is very high - natural fibres, well made and in perfect condition. The current stock is clearly skewed to the young adult male - say 20s to 30s who want to look stylish and wear a variety of quality clothing at a cheap price. Most of it is smart casual/casual. I reckon they're targeting office workers with very little closet space and who haven't the space/time/inclination/skills to do maintenance on quality clothing. Colour range is about half office-uniform neutrals, and about half brightly coloured.

If you're a standard size this might actually be a way to dress nicely at a predictable price without getting bored with your current wardrobe. Plus the laundry service of course. Short term business visitors to the city might also find it useful.

I hope they do well.

YESSS I have an excuse to leave the office today and will happen to be going right near the Japanese supermarket I've been so so so so keen to visit!

90 minutes into the work day and I'm already ready to stab people.

Wanna get a throw momma from the train thing going?

It's been half an hour since I asked them to confirm it's fixed, I can literally see the cunts using it but they won't reply
- How rude
  Rebreak it and leave
- I've just had a bunch of request for access to files...which is fine, but there's a process. Same people who are requesting access, cannot be bothered replying to my emails that are part of the process.
  Guaranteed I'll be getting messages tomorrow on how they still can't access documents.
  Absolute fucking tools.
- You don't have a cousin Paddy

I want to go to bed right now.

If anyone needs an alarm clock that isn't their phone, please take my dog.

Seeing as I was the only one in the house this morning as my parents start work at 7, the dog did his whole bark and growl thing, and started walking on me. 😍

My old hound used to shove his cold nose into my elbow at wake up time. Never missed waking me up.

Yep. No one gave 2 shits about the presentation. At least it's over till next month.

I've got a sore gum. I think it was from a very hard sausage roll crust. I'm salt watering, nurofening, bonjelaing and tomorrow I'll numb the cunt with booze.

Got any cloves or clove oil? It can be numbing.
- I've got cloves. What do I do with it?

Got 10 people from BFF interested in some kind of craft night, so hopefully that means I can get a couple of people to actually meet in person! I am not getting my hopes up too high though.

A craft night sounds fun. That sounds like a great way to meet people.

Captains log 634:

I wish I was at home but I need to give a pointless 10 Min presentation to people that don't remotely care about the topic.

Lame.

gymed 🦾

👍🙏

I'm waiting for all of S3 to be available via means before diving in. It's a very bingeable show.
- Stronger than us, we get a couple eps lead max

I’m not able to stop napping 😴

Melbcat seems pretty happy though. Yesterday she was playing with her toys and smooching a visitor 🥰

Finally got my bike fixed after two weeks without. Looking forward to a commute where I'm not stuck behind a string of cars the whole way.

But first, coffee on the couch and then a chilly dog walk.

I have already done the walk and am doing the coffee now. The walk was definitely chilly, including some very crunchy grass.

Tax done 🥂

I wish I had all the info to do mine. I have some ETFs (investment funds) and it takes them a few months to do all the end of year accounting so I have to wait. I'm expecting a decent refund so I'd really rather get it done and have the money back in my pocket sooner.
👏
Well done you.

I had the opportunity to see Ozzy and his band play live in the 90’s. He was very energetic and sounded great. Other bands that played were System of a Down, Rob Zombie, Black Label Society, P.O.D, and Deftones. Many others I can’t remember. It was a great day and at least I got to see him play.

Was talking to workmates about Ozzy today - he definitely went out with a bang. Wish I’d seen sabbath live
- I actually wish I saw Ozzy in the 80s after he left Sabbath and had Randy Rhoads as guitarist.
  Alternately, I would have loved to see Sabbath with Dio on vocals, which I consider just as good,
That would've been awesome to watch 🤘
I've seen deftones live and they were amazing!
- I’m not a huge deftones enjoyer but I get the appeal. They definitely have their own cool style of sound but it just never hit with me.

Joined a gym and omg the amount of technology there. I think I’ll actually go.

Japanese supermarket adventures update: I was toooo keen and went before any of the fresh sushi or hot food was available, but there was still cute things to check out. They had beautiful plates and bowls! Came out with furikake (thank you for the suggestion, Kitten!), miso soup, my favourite Pretz sticks. Already planning on going back when I'm on leave so I can try their sushi.

Enjoy! Hope you like the furikake, it's great on freshly steamed rice 😋

Explorer socks. Furry side in or furry side out?

It's never even crossed my mind to wear them furry side out. I guess you could, but I reckon it'd be less comfy.
Bamboo heavy duty thick work socks from Fantastic Variety, worn fluffy side in. Was very disappointed in my last Explorer socks, they just ain't what they used to be.
Furry in, for extra comfort
Furry inside of course
I've always gone with furry side in, but I checked with both Mr Woof and Miss Meow and they are adamant that furry on the outside is always correct.

guys at broadbents bemused and somehow suspicious I would be unable to drag 60kg of paving sand down a hill on a trolley. Why, I have no idea. I am not a small woman. I'm built like a fucking mack truck.

sand now in back yard waiting pavings.

🥶 🥶 🥶 ❄️ 🧊

Well you did choose to move to Ballarat. On the bright side, Mr Woof will probably shed out very quickly come springtime due to the cold weather. And his next year's winter coat will be extra thick and plooshy. Ditto Miss Meow.

Goodnight all ❤️

Can I please have a big serve of that thing where you have some ingredients on the side and a bunch of lettuce leaves and then you make your own lettuce cup thing with the ingredients?
