iPhone camera is pretty decent.

Have to say those kitties look very well looked after judging by their coats :)
-
Thanks bro :) after I fed them once and then walked back down the next day, they were legit waiting for me.
How could I say no? lol

New day new work trip new tropical soup. Trip 2 of 3 of my six months of bonkers workload and travel. It's very strange to be so busy but doing actually good things. I am so good at survival mode I don't know how to be healthy and successful but I am trying. ☀️☀️☀️☀️
-
Goodnight all ❤️
-
I've done the stupid thing where I have, like, twelve library books
-
I love this for you. This is not stupid, this is the way.

I quite like Bananas in Pyjamas. Just living their best banana lives.
Peppa, on the other hand, needs to get in the bin. And die.
-
I believe Peppa has been banned in China, for promoting 'disloyalty to the regime'. So gets a free pass for that I reckon.
-
We give Peppa a tiny bit of credit for putting a good word in for spiders.
-
Same with Winnie the Pooh (XJP got offended that people were comparing him with the bear).
-
-
I heard Bluey was created as a response to how empty and pointless Peppa Pig feels.
Also, I'm pretty sure the same studio did the Big Knights. We got like one season of that and endless Peppa Pig. The world is an unkind place
-
Peppa needs to be spit roasted along with her whiny little brother George.
-
-
Slept for 12 hours. Broken up, but still, that's absolutely amazing!!!
This means that the gym makes a huge difference. So back to going 5 days a week.
They grow up so fast lol
-
Wow. There's a lot of Bananas in Pyjamas hate out there...
-
They're not happy about it.
-
Old boys have been going too hard on the shard aye
-
-
They scared the shit out of me as a kid. Same as that mulligrubs fucker.
-
-
How long until he notices?
-
What a pretty...... kitty.
-
Yes she is. Much nicer than the overly photoshopped chap 😸

Yesterday was a just about perfect day. Plan on repeating it today, just with less cocktails because flying home tomorrow 😭 🥶
-
Went and caught up with a bunch of old friends. Some I might not have seen for 20 years. Played some games. Got another session lined up, new campaign starting with character creation next week. Hmu if you're interested in a monthly LARP in North Fitzroy, 3rd Saturday. Pretty nerdy and lgbt friendly group.
-
Good morning. I couldn't sleep, so I wrote about Sten guns
-
The stem guns in Return to Castle Wolfenstein were silenced, also making them perfect for stealth
-
Do you watch a bit of Ian McCollum?
-
The Forgotten Weapons guy?
Occasionally, but not often
-
-
-
Logies start at 7 pm - thoughts?
-
I shall seek pretty frock pictures on ABC website. And do a lot of "who's that?" Then go back to my life.
Although I am happy Magda subanzski is getting a hall of fame award. Last I read she is pretty sick with stage 4 cancer so this is nice.
-
I voted for bananas in pyjamas
-
i fucking hate them so much, it’s the fucking laziest fuckingest tweeest utter shite made by a loathsome committee of upper middle class toorak wouldn’t know a story if it fucked them up the arse twit mums
Seagoon will never let you live it down.
@Seagoon this is one of the best reviews I've ever read

This season of foundation is fucking nuts and i love it

Irene for the win!

Poolside book success: Icebreaker by Hannah Grace. Requires suspense of belief when it comes to competitive figure skating, but a fun, funny read with a very inclusive ensemble cast without feeling forced. 7 out of 10 for making me laugh so much.
Poolside book fail: All We Lost Was Everything by Sloan Harlow. Terrible "romance", annoying characters, horrible twists that had my eyes rolling out of my head. 2 out of 10.
-
I tried normie books once and found I don't like them. Sometimes they're an enjoyable read, but mostly they rely on you not knowing how human interactions or the world works to be believable
-
-
Curlews ❤️❤️

It has been a beautiful sunny afternoon. I took Mr Woof out for a walk and let him pick the route. Miss Meow helped bring in the washing off the line, which primarily involved rolling around on the concrete under the washing line.
-
No Ulthar this weekend, but that's alright because it turns out a friend's birthday was on at the same time. He only ever sends out Facebook invites so I've missed it the past few years. One time I straight up missed it and another year the boys were too difficult to put down.
It was good because I had this gift I'd been meaning to give him for almost two years, so it's nice to finally hand that off.
-
Sad as fuck
-
Midnight gnocci was great. I was a bit worried about having to cook the gnocci in the microwave, but it worked fine. I am now gnocciful and ready for the rest of the night.

Reddit musta fucked up again, the neckbeards are upticking

"where's MY mummy bang maid!? How come all those CHADS get mummy bang maids, and I DON'T!?
why am I so lonely?"

I hate the movie Rubber (2010). I saw it years ago because I thought "oh a horror comedy about a murderous tyre, yeah sure!" And it turned out to be the most boring, pretentious slop I've ever seen; I should have known as it is a French film, but sometimes the French have good horror so I gave it a chance - MISTAKE! I watched it all the way through and just couldn't stop loathing it. I made the mistake of telling my mate at the time, so when I went to see him, guess what he had on 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ so I've seen it twice and it sucked arse both times.
What's a film or piece of media that gets you irrationally angry?
-
Coincidentally, I watched a French horror film last night called Martyrs (2008).
There was a comment review on this thread recently about 28 Years Later and how it had no redeeming value (which is a preposterous notion by the way)
and so…
Martyrs (2008) is a movie that actually has no redeeming value. It’s a purely violent and brutal torture porn type film with no real discernible message.
It didn’t make me irrationally angry, just confused. Who was this movie made for? and why? What does this piece of art bring to the world?
EDIT: rage inducing media includes:
“Reality TV”
“Morning shows”
Anything with Tracy Grimshaw and that rubbish
-
Oh I've seen Martyrs (the original and the remake), and yeah I agree with you. It felt like the theme was "trauma can make you transcend and see beyond!" Which is fkn gross.
The only barely redeemable quality of that film was the end, where we don't hear what she said to Madame, and it was cryptic. I wanted more of that feeling, not the gratuitous torture the MC endures at the hands of some weird rich people cult.
I feel similar about A Serbian Film. That has no redeemable qualities at all, as well, and I do not believe the creators intent that the film was a comment on the Serbian film industry. It was fkn gross for the sake of being gross, and they should just fkn own that instead of making up reasons as to why it's a "commentary".

It used to be Paul Higgins doing the weather on the abc.
I had to leave the room.
-
Rick & Morty. Both voices drive me utterly nuts. No specific linked memory, just insanely annoying.
-
Hard agree. I used to like it, but I just couldn't really get over the voice acting lol
-
-
The random crying has stopped but baby girl has learned that being vocal works for things she wants 😆
She tried whimpering to go outside yesterday, she sooks for the heater to go on, and today she cried for me to unblock the chair and lift her up. (She’s perfectly capable of jumping but I’m trying to spare her knees)
-
Lucky. Misha just comes into my office and screches at me.
Does she want a chair moved to unblock the sunlight? More food? Outside? Is there puke in an unseemly place? Has the water fountain been upturned? Who knows, she uses the same noise for all of the above.
It's like being told off by a rusty door.
-
It’s hard to figure out sometimes. Luckily she’ll sometimes do it in that specific area (heater, chair, door), paw at something, or there’s a context clue like she’s just used the litterbox and might want it cleaned.
For food she just quietly walks into the kitchen and sits near the fridge.

I got too hot and turned off the electric blanket… that was a mistake

Cooee

Lying in the sun. It is wonderful.

Sleep was OK. Did wake up after 2 hours but fell straight back to sleep which is a win!
This however, is not :(

I've just scraped the ice off my windscreen

Who cares about fruits and animals.
Teletubbies and Tiddlytubbies are our overlords.

Just present the nominations without the shit chat. No wonder it goes so long.

He just vindictively ate cheese at the cat

Punishable by death. Not the cat ofc.

Housework and A Tribe Called Quest...

What the hell is this?

Based on the photos, police are waiting with serving trays for protestors with saucepans to arrive with a meal. They look very optomistic about likely serving sizes, so it may be a bit of a loaves and fishes situation. I presume once everything's served up everyone will sit down for a meal together and work out how to achieve world peace.
-
What has the world come to when our ostensibly under-funded and under-resourced police resort to begging for food in the street.
Edit: Can't type very well while snarking today, apparently.

I think I made the best steamy nachos so far today. Even then, I felt I was too slow on adding the flour and cheese when the time came. So that means even better steamy nachos in the future
