  • Sell something for $700, simple transaction, clean quick.

    Sell something for $15 and the guy is busting my balls. I swear if he sends another dumb request I'm going to cancel and give it to the op-shop.

    • Hi. Is this still available?

      • I'm selling through a forum so less of that. More just never ending queries that are all on the website for the item. A lot of "IDK check the official website" responses from me.

  • We finished watching all episodes of Superstore last week which was sad. I'm gonna start the man on The Inbetweeners which I know I'm gonna get wtf and your kid watched this!!!???? Then Derry Girls I think.

  • Some person has the audacity to call me for work related matters at 3:15 PM on a Friday......settle down sister. The work will still be there Monday

  • Whatever youse are doing tonight have a good time ok.

    Just keeping the numbers up because I love a competition.

    • Idle thought post time: I found a $300 Avert duffle dry bag in the park on the dog walk this morning. Probably crime. I'll give it a wash and drop it at the op-shop.

  • Birthday party secret broken. Grump! He’s pretending to not know organisation wise. This is effectively the same as a surprise I guess?

  • Still here: they were running behind because of an emergency.
    Nothing obvious but they're concerned that she's dropped half a kilo since her last visit. Waiting on some blood results as I type.

  • This work week has been a GRIND. Almost there but I'll be crawling to the finish line. Then a week off next week, really looking forward to a short break. Thinking a second coffee is in order.

  • Fucking had it with these gall wasps in the lemon tree. I let it go too far so have been taking the kukri to it (surprisingly very effective). I'd like to call it shaping the tree but in reality it's wasp genocide.

  • The kid came home yesterday from a function with a tray of food and the man said "I can take some for lunch tomorrow" and I said "No you can't. That's our dinner". I feel really bad now for being a cunt.

  • Ok, after an hour's lie down I've recovered a bit and making myself go in to watch the film. I likely won't have the opportunity to watch it anywhere else, and it's good to expand one's horizons and get out of one's head. Especially prior to a holed-up weekend of reading and rewriting (as now my proposal is somewhat different)... Wearing a mask to at least slightly reduce the chance of getting some new shitty infection. Can't afford that this weekend!

  • Gonna fuck around and set up my gaming PC again to try Deadlock. Gave away my monitor, chair and desk, so gonna be an interesting setup for the time being.

    • Also, BBQ Samboy chips detected at Aldi in the CBD.

      • Aldi's bags of popcorn are pretty good. I need to tell the world so they stay in circulation forever.

    • So sitting on the floor in front of the lounge room TV, just like we did in the 80s? :D

      • Well funny you say that, I don't have a TV either. This laptop's screen might do, though...

  • Movie Review. Kick-Ass.

    Thoughts on an R rating for a movie about violence and force perpetrated and suffered by children.

    In real life children can suffer all the same horrors as adults and too often do. I really do think we should put our effort in protecting children from real life violence rather than fictional violence.

    And maybe fictional violence can help children understand the world around them better.

    I don't like violence, doesn't mean it's good to pretend it doesn't exist.

    • I enjoy violent movies and video games as long as the context is there. Gore and senseless violence for the sake of it doesn't work for me.

      Kids know the difference thankfully and are cognisant of real vs fake

      In real life, I can't stand seeing people get hurt or hurting others.

  • Belated Movie and TV Reviews.

    **The Kingsman movies. **I like these homages to the Bond movies, the sound, the fast editing, the villains, the cold war, the cross the pond alliance, the costuming are all reminiscent of 60s Bond and the most recent Bond.

    And like the Bond movies there is no blood and that bothers me. I know it's for the M rating but it bugs me. That train scene in Argylle should have been a blood bath. Literally 2 cm of blood on the floor and everything else spattered with blood guts and bone.

    Also has running gags and scenes across all the movies, which is cool.

    3.5 hobbits . -.5 because no blood

    **Rings of Power Review by Charlie Hopkinson. **YouTube. Reminded me how much I hated the fucking Hobbits in RoP, especially Lenny Henry. And what they did to the greatest elf warriors is embarrassing, made them look like accountants.

    here's Charlie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fj2bn1Rvac8

    4 real Hobbits.

    Taken. Yes, that movie again. Having seen it a few times it's a really good exercise in seeing all the red flags/arsehole behaviour from lennie and her rich git husband that made the daughter disrespect her dad and make unwise choices.

    The moral is be good parents, ay, teach respect or your kids will suffer for it.

    3.5 hobbits

    **The Union. **netflix. Mark Wahlberg and Halle Berry

    Pretty standard spyfi movie , the latest story lines in spyfi seem to of an organisation within an organisation and the old race to find files of names before the bad guys get it.

    But it's really about people taking risks, pushing limits and achieving potential.

    3 hobbits.

    **Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. **

    Loosely based on real events. Fast paced action , quite enjoyable. Nazis are bad guys.

    3 hobbits

  • I survived the electricity. I woulld like to thank my rubber soled shoes. I'm not sure if that's a myth but so far still kicking.

  • Am at the vet with Sammi - poor love has been vomiting on and off since yesterday and hasn't eaten more than a mouthful at a time.
    Interestingly, she's been a lot calmer coming up since it was just her so I had her beside me on the passenger seat instead of behind me in the back seat like I normally do when I take both of them.
    She was calmly sitting in her carrier watching the passing traffic until the practice cat came and now she's sitting up on alert. 😂

  • Actually raining out here where we normally don't get as much. Been feeling really shit today. Have movie on at 9:30pm in city but seriously having second thoughts. I'm so fucking tired

  • Since seeing Deadpool wolverine recently, fam wanted to watch all the X-Men movies. We started two weeks ago and have made it to Logan.

    Haven't seen it since 2018 and remember crying at the end.

    Looks like those feels are gonna come back tonight.

    On the bright side we'll be watching the first Deadpool flick tomorrow so that'll alleviate the sads

    • Logan was such an awesome movie and yes, 😭 at the ending.

      • I've cried watching something since but bawling my eyes out at a superhero movie was something I wasn't going to predict
