If I’m standing there doing trade work let’s say, why do people think it’s ok to just stand there and watch me?
If you’re sitting there at your desk clacking away on your excel spreadsheet or whatever, and I saunter up behind you and just stare at you doing work, that would be considered kinda creepy.
Because maybe they find what you are doing interesting. Someone clicking away on a keyboard is boring.
I’m listening the “The Nightland” by WH Hodgeson. Don’t know if I can stand the bondage and very sexual double entendres much longer. 🫤 I thought this was hard core science fiction gothic fiction. 🫥🤯😹
They are quite long slightly weird involved chapters that seem to be perfectly paced and timed to rub one out …lol
" and she did rub me very skillful and gentle for a great hour until I was all refreshed and in verity she was a lovely wise maid. And surely when I was come again …etc etc"
How very Shakespearean country matters. I’m all in for some good smut, but stuff written circuitously to avoid the censors doesn’t do it at all. No horny hobbits.
Odd that you would speak of hobbits , the first half of the book be very much like the journey to erebor, very very
Jesus Vaseline christ
he calls it “ointment”
😂
Wow okay, that language turns me off 😂 pretentious and flowery, contrasted with the sexually explicit content? 🤢
other than the weird daddy mommy issues, the he-man stuff, the helpless delicate female stuff , the bondage stuff and the weird language, and these are only a few chapters so far out of many chapters
other than that it’s a great story well told
( written in 1913 it predates Howard /Conan the Barbarian by 20 years )
"But I was greatly stiff on my waking … " …lol
what it makes much funnier for me is that this guy has the same voice and accent as Peter Cook.
Written as if it was the 17th century. I had a look at it, and it sounds interesting, but the wiki plot summary left all the sexy out 😂 did Hodgson edge the whole way writing this? 😂😂
the first two chapters were cutesy, then 9 chapters of good science fiction, now two chapters of edging
I recommend it as an interesting and new experience
there is another 7 hours of this
Cheers Strawberry Short Cakes🍺
My pink moscato has strawberry flavour.
That counts right?
Cheers🍻
Cheers 🍺
I forgot the strawberry 🍓
😂 cheers 🍺
The closest I have to a strawberry are those strawberry and cream lollies.
That’ll have to do!
After my coffee of course.
They’re my favourite soft lolly. I believe 3 is the recommended serving size.
Yeah right.
3 handfuls, right?
Who’s to know if you eat them in the dark while watching tv.
Yeah right exactly.
I’ve gone over 3 already.
That’s the way. Prove them wrong.
That’s like telling me the recommended serving of dim sims are 2.
Hey buddy, you left out the 0.
Speaking of dimmies. The man brought some home.
🤤
2? What is this a famine?
Finish at 730 today 🥲
Nooooo. I’ll keep a couple cold for ya 👍
Are people going through keyboards/mice like some sort of consumables?
I’m looking at reviews for a mouse, and something supposedly good about it is that it lasted some person four whole years. I’ve been using the mouse on my work PC for 15 years, it was the first Bluetooth mouse I purchased. I’ve been using this keyboard for 10 years, and the only reason I bought it was that I was no longer typing on my laptop keyboard. Side note: I would love to buy another one just like this one for home, but it doesn’t exist any more.10 years with no signs of slowing in the next decade sounds right to me. 15 years for the mouse and the only reason I’m considering replacing it is I’d like one that can switch between multiple devices and maybe do away with AA batteries. Do people really go through peripherals quickly?
My Logitech mx518 was one of the best mouse that I had for work and home.
It wasn’t until a dumb cleaner used cleaning agents on it during covid that they ruined the texture and finish on the mouse. I’m still mad about it but they last forever and have all the convenient buttons like thumb buttons and scrolling wheel.
I still have one in it’s packaging because I thought they were so good.
This is my favourite doggy pose
Straight after his stretch he runs into the kid’s room, jumps on her and runs out. 😂
I’m getting Moulin Rouge vibes from this photo
a very happy boi 🐶
Naaaaaaaw
Oh my goodness he’s just so adorable.
Ahhhh work notifications are off, auto respond email activated, told people I’m out for till next Wednesday.
Hello music, Ps5 and catchup!
Neighbour’s car won’t start (sounds like a flat batter to me). It’s a late 90s Commodore that’s seen better day.
Old mate is swearing like a sailor in English and Croatian. Been going on for like a solid 30 minutes.
Ironically he fancies himself a handyman, and even my non-mechanical self can hear it’s the battery.
flat batter
Trick is to keep the soda water cold and add some bicarb.
I’ll let him know ;)
4 more hours of classes but I just want a nap 💀😱
Hang in there!
It won’t be long now!
I ate at Yaki Jin in Kew this week. They do an all you can eat for $50. I like that their menu is not OTT, but pretty much has all the staples.
Meating in the CBD is similar, it because it’s more buffet style I always want to eat eeevvvrrrything, if I’m a little ambivalent about it.
Thinking I really dig Yaki Jin because I want to eat there again, like now. Hahaha.
in Kew
technically kew east otherwise known as far kew.
I see what you did there
Got sent to the principal.
Looks like a place I wanna go 👀
I think you’d enjoy!
Silo season 2. Do I want to jump back into this mystery? Love the actress hate the accent.
The books are fantastic. Defo jump back in!
TV Review. Paul T Goldman. Series. Stan.
This was really weird, like the weirdest thing I have seen for a while.
A misogynistic anti-social personality disordered man is prey to a con woman . He goes on the war path and his fragile ego leads him to invent a huge international organised crime conspiracy rather than saying to himself, “I was a foolish idiot and got ripped off because I am a hater who will believe anyone who panders to my prejudices”. And then he write books and a screenplay, makes himself to be James Bond. He becomes a bit pathetic and it’s more and more obvious he is not all there.
The last half hour is like that episode of Married With Children where the Bundys try to sell a story and the tv producers see through them easily.
It’s easy to pity Paul, the disordered are often pitied because it is so obvious they are broken, until you remember he stalked people and slandered people causing real harm. He saved no one.
hobbits?? as a portrait of a personality disordered person, 4 hobbits
I watched this a few weeks ago and my thoughts were exactly the same as yours. It’s like he didn’t want his story to end and the production company thought “fuck it. We’re getting paid for this shit regardless”.
5/5 hobbits for weirdness.
This is what you get when a personality disordered person writes the story. A story that is hard to comprehend.
The last 30 minutes are when reality lands as the producer tells the real fact based story with actual proof.
I don’t think I got to the end cos I thought it went on too long as it was. Maybe I should finish it.
These are my thoughts: Wife #1 wanted a Green card and not to be a stay at home maid to a controlling, pedantic, weird little man.
He makes out that this could happen to anyone with wife #2 but shit there was red flags flapping loudly with her. No dude, you just an idiot.
Sleep in….check
Peanut butter toast…check
Coffee….in progress.
Pizza….later
Ahh I’m so thankful I took the day off
Got up at 4am…check
Poached eggs on English muffin… check
Coffee…check, check, check
Pizza…later
Ahh, I would have loved to have taken the day off, but I guess it’s not that bad
Apart from the first point everything else sounds great.
It’s a nice day too so hope you’re able to enjoy that and take Mr Woof for a nice walk this afternoon
He always gets an after-work walk, it is always nice when it is good weather for it. The middle of winter when it it cold, dark and wet it is not so good.
Pizza sounds like a very good idea.
Watching tv and thought I was watching a feel good romance.
No. It’s turning slowly into dating a full on psychopath.
2nd time this has happened. Why can’t I have just a feel good happy movie!
What is it?
Didn’t realise at the time because al I did was turn on the tv but I checked later as it was clearly headed into the psychotic stage and found out the movie was called A Date with Danger.
Switched channels shortly after.
If you don’t mind something comedy drama instead, “The Intern” on repeat works.
Or you can just watch The Great British Bake Off, even when the contestants go there’s nothing but love and adoration. They cry cus they’re losing being able to spend all day with their new best friends.
You silly. People aren’t allowed to be happy anymore.
It’s weird how there hasn’t been more feel good media content lately isn’t it? Partner is craving it, I’ve had to lean in to my other tastes.
Stand by that “From” is the best thing currently on though.
Although our “The Rookie” binge is taking up many hours and is also an adorable show. Who doesn’t love Nathon Fillon and Alan Tudyk?
Stardust also works!
I switched channels. Was going to put on a movie but the movie on the other channel was ok.
Nah I can’t do those reality shows. Worst kind of fake for me.
Got distracted by some other stuff so what was ok and I’m going to make myself another delicious coffee and busy myself in a game for a bit.
I can’t do reality shows either, utterly hate them with a disdain that is beyond even your wildest imagination. Bake off though is really genuine which is why it’s so lovely. Only one I watch.
Loving that you’re doing an early gaming session!
I agree with you. It’s a nice feel good show and you don’t have to think too hard.
The only real reality TV shows are on the sports channel. Everything else is edited/scripted. 😀
Then try the British Bake Off, must be the British one. The only editing is in the order they present their bakes.
So much piss taking and if it were on the sports channel it would be like “we’ve scored some goals and you haven’t scored enough so I’m gonna stop scoring my goals and come help you score some more so you can win too”. It might as well be a comedy and friendship show at this point that also happens to include baking.
That actually sounds really wholesome. Plus I like baking. I’ll give is a shot. As a rule, I avoid reality TV because it’s awful.
Reality TV is truly awful which is why it’s weird me saying this one is legit. As you said, it’s wholesome and hilarious. Minor spoiler Noel (IT Crowd) breaking a contestants thing whilst dicking around hahaha. The “ooops” glares were the best.
Had one too many episodes of MKR and The Block on tv by accident.
I’m making another coffee and starting up Core Keeper
Just thought.
Have you tried “Resident Alien” and “The Rookie”? Some former Firefly cast and both shows should hit the spot you’re looking for.
Never played Core Keeper but I hope you enjoy your hundreds / thousands of hours!
I’m a big fan of the The Rookie because of Nathan Fillion. I
haven’t seen Firefly but as I understand it didn’t have many episodes and was cut short ending with the movie Serenity which I have seen.
Have watched all of it and waiting for the new a season now.
Resident alien not so much. Didn’t quite hit the right notes with me.
I’ve just put on Castlevania now waiting for the cricket to be on an a little over an hour.
Core Keeper’s addictive and time just flies when playing it.
I’m might start fresh in Starview Valley because the final content patch has landed.

Wang Wang and Funi have returned home. I was fortunate to see one of them (I don’t know which one) chomping away on bamboo for an hour. A very surreal experience. 🐼🐼
