pizza worked.

I have the new Ted Cat photos. :) he has a slow eating bowl otherwise he inhales his food

here he is in his mullet glory , it's just growing back like that, a big dark stripe growing down his back 🤭

Last night we went to Ravenna Gorge Christmas market, not too far from Freiburg. It. Was. AWESOME. It’s under a train viaduct thing that gets lit up in various colours. It was so atmospheric and fun, we really enjoyed it. Highly recommend if you’re in Germany at Christmas market time.

Sitting here contemplating flipping a coin as to whether I'll go for an overnight road trip border adventure but realised I need to get out of this apartment so the answer is already Go.

I'm in trouble for daring to use a laptop on my lap. Don't I know laps are for cats?

Gah! Just found out something I purchased 3 days ago went on sale literally hours after I bought it.

Can’t do much since it’s a digital product but it has left me a bit sour.

On the bright side it was worth it for full price so it takes the edge off at least.

Ted Cat has good days and bad days. He still bites sometimes. ( and not nips either 😬) but generally he's a lot calmer and I think a bit happy His fur is growing back nicely, into a cat mullet . I'll try to get some pics :)

Curiosity Expo! Will I come home with a taxidermied warthog or a steampunk muppet hat?

Carol and the end of the world on netflix is a such a sweet and life-affirming show. Highly recommend!

Yeah, after repeated soaking and washing these blankets still smell. They really let that shit get baked in there. I may also be looking at a new pet pram.

Feeling understimulated but lazy and my hand hurts from scrolling. I don't want to practice real art stuff. I just want to shitpost and trace memes. Bored.

What are these Hot Take days?

Spent the day in the sun, and despite taking precautions I've made myself sun sick... Smothering myself in aloe and climbing into bed with an ungodly amount of water.

Never underestimate how a simple meal of toast and peanut butter.

Feels heavy in my tummy.

Anyone else find Xmas stressful

I'm making mini cheesecakes because why not?

Stubbed my big toe yesterday on a door while closing it. Can't walk on it and it fucking hurts. Been icing it and resting all day. Hopefully it's not broken, but I'm still gonna be stuck home resting because of it either way.

Wishing today won't get any worse...

Omg Aldi duck fat potatoes are back and they are divine. They need to sell these all year round.

I think I made a mistake with my pie. I had a tart dish where you can remove the bottom, but I thought it was too small so I went and bought a glass pie dish. I put the biscuit base direct on the glass and now I’m worried it’s going to be stuck. I should have put down baking paper first. Worst comes to worst, dessert will be a deconstructed pie.

Spotify has decided I need a mix of Neil Young, Jimi Hendrix, Rodriguez and Fantastic Negrito as a salve for the week. This is excellent

Oh hey bot good to see. I have a little hack for you. Next time you're at a Christmas party and everyone is enjoying karaoke using Spotify through the the telly (I don't know how it happens. I go out for a smoke and magic happens) and the lyrics aren't synced, open it on your phone and tap on the lyrics a couple of times and the music then syncs to the lyrics and you'll be an accidental hero like Steven Bradbury. You are welcome.

Ugh. I was planning on going on a train thing today, and have been a bit nervous all week (it's a private members train run by a heritage organisation, so most people on there really like trains, and I've had a few bad experiences with a few of the diehards). I hopped into bed at 11:10 and started trying to sleep at 11:30ish. Ever since I've been seeing the time on the clock tick on and on and on every time I adjusted positions and definitely haven't fallen asleep. Except at 2:20 I saw the time and kept trying to sleep, then at 2:30 I woke up because I had a really bad dream (pretty sure it was almost a daydream). And now I'm feeling sick, upset stomach kinda

I don't even know if there's a point trying to push past. Nothing's really happened, so I'm almost wondering if I'm not actually sick but have just gotten so nervous I made myself sick or something. If I managed to sleep right now, I'd get around 3.5 hours of sleep, and that doesn't seem enough to enjoy much of it

Coffee has a tendency to go right through me sometimes.

I splurged on Valhalla Old English Toffee ice cream from Leo's. Truly excellent decision, spectacular ice cream.

Warner out for a duck :/

Over the last couple of hours I've applied butter (salted cow butter) to my face and forearms as something of an experiment. I've got a couple of excma spots in of each of my elbows, which is rare for me. I'll update in near future!

Hungry. Want foodz.

Edit: have now had foodz. Crisis averted.

Quick question for the over 30's crowd:

How many times a month would you go for a big night out, and roughly how much do you spend?

Trying to sort my budget out. Fun Saturday night activity lol

I just realised I'm spending a shitload (upto 5x) the norm on nights out. Time to tighten the belt a bit.

Just got asked by a random woman to help pay $25 at a nearby glasses store... she claims to have no cash, no card, and... no phone? Also asked for my phone number so she can pay me back $30. Also she talked slow.

Carried a handbag and a shopping bag containing a small amount of clothing.
