I quite liked the cat near me last Halloween, that would often be seen snoozing in the window behind the bloody handprints on the glass.

Oi, whachu lookin at
Jimmy unimpressed with you.
I get that a lot…
Jimmy looks like he could rough you up.
Jimmy two-tone
Look at that face. He’s telling you to stop messing around and think of your future
Today has been a rough one. Melbcat guarded me while I sat in the shower and then curled up in my dressing gown with me to share a nap.
I don’t understand how people think cats are cold or aloof
Cats are neither cold nor aloof, they just don't obsessively crave human approval.
It's invariably self-identified 'dog people' who talk shit about cats. And tbh the way they do makes me think they shouldn't have dogs either
Hugs. I have never known cats to be aloof, they are just picky in wh they care for
Pizza in oven. Beer in hand..planning to watch the game here at home and maybe potter around cleaning in between quarters.
I did want to go down to the local for the atmosphere but damn I am in pretty urgent need of introvert time. Went out this morning and managed to lose my favourite shopping bags on the bus among other brainfog disasters. Internet friends could someone tell me that's ok to stay here on my own and it doesn't make me a loser?
You are not a loser at all! I dislike going to the pub for GF, too loud, too many people, too chaotic. Then it gets rowdy.
It is acceptable and 100% reasonable and okay to stay home!!
I’m doing alone time as well.
Busy week coming up, so I’m introverting in advance knowing that it’s not going to stop for about the next eight days once it starts. I feel okay with this
it's cool to watch the game and chill at home in your own way ,
verdict; not a loser
I think it's fine to watch from home. I don't really understand the appeal of going to watch the game somewhere unless you're meeting people there.
Enjoy the comfort of your own home and the ability to do things for yourself whilst there
Thanks. It's sunny and quiet here
I was invited to a house party but have chosen to stay home with the dog and do washing and I'm not a loser so neither are you.
I'm sad about your bags. I've had that happen to me and I cried.
Oh I am devastated! That's the problem with not being a shopaholic. Everything I own is special.
Thanks mate. Just had a moment of mind worms. All good now
You're the only one who gives a shit so you do you
I'll be home alone and I have no bad feelings about it at allIt is more than perfectly ok to stay and watch the game alone.
Nothing about it makes you a loser.
Im doing the same thing as I’ve done most years and I’m perfectly happy doing it.
Just enjoy yourself and the peace and quiet or if you barrack for them scream as loud as you want.
It’s your right to do so and not to feel bad about it.
Do not feel bad because there’s nothing wrong with doing it!
❤️
As an ME/CFS long hauler, I speak from my own experience in strongly suspecting that with that amount of brain fog, if you went down the local you'd be hiding in the loo to get away from the noise by the first goal.
Better to stay home and enjoy than go out and not enjoy.This is very true. I have been wanting more social interaction lately but I have also been unwell and brain body just saying 'no'. Thanks.
Had a radox bath last night but the liquid stuff. Turned into a bubble bath which I didn't think would happen. last time I had one of those I would've been 5yo or so. 10/10. Now in the market for some little yellow rubber ducks to round out the experience.
I buy Epsom salts regularly and then use a tiny bit of body wash to make bubbles.
So good!
Surely there's a rave choon out there for the duckies.
My neighbour started his Harley at 6am this morning. It’s like starting a chainsaw at that time - you don’t do it. Took me a while to fall back asleep and now I’m tired and grumpy. I’m up and sitting in the sun to get this bad mood out of me.
To quote a certain someone "oh look. It's a cunt riding a fart"
Cheers guys 🍹
Enjoy the game or whatever.

a rant about insecurities
I need to block a subreddit, because I feel called out lol. r/crappymusic, because the commenters just hate when people express themselves. Humans make music, idk what makes it crappy. I don't make music of course, but I write, and I feel all my insecurities are heightened when I see those negative jerks shitting on people enjoying themselves on stage.
Idk, I was considering putting some of my poetry to music or a beat, and maybe consider doing like, beat poetry - because I so desperately admire the people who do that - but I feel so stupid even considering it when I'm afraid of being utterly rejected.
I suppose I need to work on my confidence and forget what people may think, but it's hard to let go of all the voices that tell me that I'm already a failure.
I probably just need to delete fucking Reddit too sigh
I reckon Reddit works if you're very purposeful in your curation. My feed is mostly cats, book discussions and recommendations, crochet, and so on. Fuck the mean people, seek out the nice spaces.
Your work sounds amazing. Have you checked out Australian Poetry Slam? That could be a way in with supportive, like-minded people.
Yeah reddit be judgy. Sounds like you want to get in with like minded people.
There used to be poetry slams many years ago at the Drunken Poet, dunno if that’s still going. It seemed friendly enough.
Just a heads up though that I did stop going because of some old drunk dude making inappropriate comments. So like… check it out if you want and if it sucks hit the bricks
Yes the Poet still does those!
Join the delete Reddit squad (but still add Reddit at the end of almost every Google search)!
What makes music crappy anyway? At my work, they played a live version of a Foo Fighters song over the speakers and a customer said it sounded terrible. But the crowd went wild! It's all about taste at the end of the day.
You've got this! Go out there and express yourself, and most importantly, have fun. That's the main bit. You are HOTTOGO!! <3
Thank you, you are truly the sweetest 💜
it sounds like a place where mean people go , so don't go there :)
hugs
me, i do not care one jot if randos do not like my stuff , i do care if they try to stop me or impede me, I suppose destroying a good mood is in a way impeding me, defining me is impeding me
what matters is what my loved ones and my friends say, and this friend says expressing yourself is a beautiful thing 😘
and more hugs, it seems moving past negative voices in one's head is a life long task 😫
What a beautiful day. Finally feel like spring is here properly.
brain stuck, not sure what to do
think I'll just put a few things away, put away another load of clean washing and do the rest of the dishes
Back neighbours’ party has been going since before the GF started. They’ve descended into drunken scream singing, add some screaming kids to the mix, it’s so loud. Got my massive speaker going to drown them out.
I need to throw my own loud revenge party.
Not even worried........ Swans got this.......
So well they didn’t even need to turn up.
Should be an entertaining second half then, I'm in.
Sadly, no
I hate it when I'm buying something and don't realise it's in US dollars until checkout and I have to re-evaluate the value of everything I'm buying.
$8 for a soy cappuccino, well fuck you too Perth airport. But I'm the sucker who paid it so can't complain can I.
Developed a bit of a sore throat after talking myself hoarse to a friend yesterday, I shall be drowning it in the requisite throat lozenges + meds + hot water and honey when I get back because I'll be fucked if I get the flu again...
Ouch sneaky sandgropers.
Sooo who are we rooting for today gang? I won a Swans mohawk hat thing at a work bingo so I'm going Swans
for me, at work, getting my good old saturday pay, a significant pay cut compared with yesterday’s
Me too. We should petition for today to be a public holiday too!
Yeah, tell me who's playing and I'll pick a team to back based on vibes
I think Sydney, but I'll have to see when it starts. It's weird when it's two interstate teams.
I'm watching for the entertainment. Whether it's good or bad I'm always entertained regardless. I've heard Tina Arena will perform a song or two with Katy Perry and I want to see that.
Whoever boos Tina Arena.
😂
What's worse than Katy Perry?
A duet with Tina Arena.
Lions. Gotta love an underdog
I just found out who is playing. Guess I’ll find out the result by how noisy it gets later on.
Tough one. I don’t know who I’d like to see win today.
Maybe Sydney?
I'm not a sports person but I'm going to a social thing for the game. Gonna just support the team that currently has the ball
Brisbane. I don’t think they will, but it would be fun if they did
Just landed on the tarmac but I have checked bags to wait for as well... Likelihood of avoiding footy crowds if I take the Skybus and tram seems low if the game'll be over by 5...
E: uber too pricey, gonna take my chances with PT, wish me luck 🙃
E2: exiting the cbd... scattering of glum-looking folks around with red and white scarves...
E3: forgot the 48 stops right out the MCG, here comes a tramload of sad Swans supporters, at least it means it's unlikely there'll be inspectors coming on board!
Apologies to all football fans, I may have made a comment around the end of the first quarter about it being good to have a close match, which was apparently the Swans' cue to completely stop trying.
I was pleased with the symmetry of the scores though, with the Lions' goals and points both being exactly double the Swans, also everything being a multiple of three suits my numerical preferences.
Saw it in 22. It came back today for a repeat.
Nah, it’s not you. It’s the Swannywobbles
I feel like at some point Australia has become a very soulless country of paying off a mortgage and that's about it.
I think we have regressed to pre WWII society. We have lost manufacturing industry , wages are again very low, education is again very costly, medical care is becoming out of reach for many and benefits are starvation rates
Its an extremely sad regression, and things are going to have to get a lot worse before they get better. Because unfortunately people usually won't take to the streets until things are really desperate.
I agree. And if you’re not in the strata of being able to get a mortgage it’s pretty grim
You’re an inspiration…
Home now and hungry as. My aunt lovingly packed some leftovers for me but I definitely need more. Maybe with the money I saved on uber (and not touching on...) I could indulge in takeaway... or maybe not, I'll have that as an option for tomorrow instead. I could throw in some air fried frozen fish to bulk out tonight's meal instead. Tonight is time to just blob out and watch TV and relax, tomorrow I have to get back on the academic horse.
🤘represent for eating left overs from the freezer. Tonight it's defrosted chicken vegie curry, tomorrow defrosted curry laksa
and welcome home 😘
I won't have time to cook enough this weekend to freeze but I'm definitely looking forward to having more time soon to restock the freezer. Bless my aunt for her overflowing supply of food ready for any emergency
not touching on
tsk :)
Wow Sydney.
I think I know where the Colliwobbles went. Grundy must have taken them with him
I’m nearly falling asleep to this
Went out for some sun before the game starts.
I returned with
- new hot sauce. This makes four distinct varieties currently in my pantry
- new tea. Eighteen distinct varieties
- vanilla choc top to counter the effects of the hot sauce tasting session

Hooked on this song. Soon as I heard it last week I could t stop listening.
That is an actual banger 😍
Eating a mysterious indeterminate purple icypole. What flavour is this?
Despair
I think I've had a few gin and tonics that had that flavour
Cabbage
Eggplant?
Blackcurrant?
Grape.
Not green
And what grand final snacks do we have planned? I'm doing a nice cheese platter.
Not really into footy but I’ve been holding on to a Mac n Cheese recipe for a while I might try.
We're just doing a BBQ outside
Borger
Steak sandwich and chips for lunch. About to go get some fresh bread for the sandwich. Beers, some snacks if I feel peckish later.
Marinated chicken wings and baguette slices with tomato - and some bikkies & dips.
I have some kabana and cheese, pate, party pies, mini quiches. I'll probably just heat up a wheat bag and eat a box of after dinners mints though.
I’ve got chips. Some soft drink or drinks. Cocktail franks and pies.
Not sure in what order or when I’ll to them today.
Beers and some beer. Maybe a box of shapes
The post-game stuff always gets me. Chris Fagen hugging Leigh Matthews had me in tears.
Several glasses of wine probably helps.
Roman Holiday is on SBS World Movies. I would like to be pootling around Rome on a Vespa.
Indeed, Rome is quite hilly.
My record player is "skating" lately, that means the needle travels across of the vinyl. As far as I can tell I can't adjust balance or weight on this player. I used a spirit level to check the cabinet and it's fairly level. I might get a new cartridge and see how that works.
It's kinda fun solving these little problems and learning about the whole audiophile interest.🙂
cartridges are >$400!!!!
I'll look for other solutions 😵
Vinyl is not a cheap hobby :( I'm doing technics 1200's with shure n44-7 styleee which I do rate for the price.
Old enough to have bought singles on 45 here: try coins on the back of the head for weight
I had a massive crush on the singer of this song, just because of his voice. I wish he had sung more because it's still hot AF to me
I finally found the tshirt I've been looking for:
Tempted to get a pizza for dinner but they're so fucking expensive.
Grand budapest, brie and fat purring cats

First beer cracked.
Kai Lohmann is playing the game of his life
Think he gets Normie? Or Neale?
Starcevich is possible. He’s been immense up the back
