    Heading to Flaming Lips tonight, should be fun. I’m guessing they haven’t installed aircon at festival hall…?

    Edit. Feels like there’s fans, but it’s still really quite hot.

    Edit. There seems to be no fans. I was mistaken.

    Edit. My god, I’m drenched already.

    Edit…

    Edit

    Second set … I’ll ease off now 🙂

    Yesterday’s episode of Severence was so good I watched it again which is super rare.

    thoughts

    There is no way that could be Helly R down there. It has to be Helena, I’d be so annoyed if it wasn’t. Irving knows and Dylan is twigging onto it too.

    Dylan and Gretchen are going to be the actual throuple.

    The actress playing Felicia had the best facial acting when she gave Irving a hug. I felt like I was being hugged myself.

    Devon’s strained “yis…” when Natalie asks her a question as she’s about to leave the horrific Ricken ego-fest was one of the best lines from an already amazing actress who sounds so uncannily real in every line read.

    The goat people are almost all homeless or drug addicts hence the awful skin and hair.

    Cobel hurriedly left because she recognised the bodyguard from something and realised she wasn’t going to leave that building alive - or at least not without her memories.

    and now to wait for next Friday, sigh.

      ___The goat people! Plausible that they may severed homeless. If they were more normal outies they might be suspicious about why they leave work looking dishevelled everyday. Or maybe they are true believers, so they blindly accept what they do during the day is good for Lumon? WHAT ARE THE GOATS FOR?? As for the facial acting, the smiles from Milchick and Natalie. So disturbing, fake, evil and condescending all at the same time. They deserve an acting award just for the smiles. This show is a total mastery of the uncanny and unnerving. It’s gonna be a slow week waiting for the next episode.

      I saw it too and that cliffhanger. Argh!

      Spoiler

      Regarding Ms. Cobel, I reckon that might be her dead husband, especially with the way she had her shrine and the ventilator mask in her front seat.

      The mystery behind Gemma really has me curious now about what had happened, at first I thought Miss Wong had something related to her but now I’m not so sure.

    I bought a portable air con from Appliances Online. Rare delivery fail - didn’t get notified until the guys actually rocked up to deliver. First time this has happened to me.

    Mega dramas hooking it up to the outside to vent (we all gotta vent from time to time). At the moment it’s held in place by repurposed cardboard and the magic of duct tape, which will do until it rains. If it continues to do well over the next few days, then will invest in a proper window fitment.

    Unit works well - has shrunk the temp in my bedroom from 30 plus to 23 over 1 hour. Methinks this was money well spent.

    Will be keeping an eye on the power bill, but my last one was $45, so I think I can splurge a bit on personal comfort.

      Definitely worth shelling out to not boil in this horrid heat. You’d have spent so many decades the “hard way” with wet towels and ice cubes and what not. I’d only experienced that in my childhood overseas and that was enough for me.

    I feel like I’m missing something fundamental in my life and I don’t know what. Perhaps it’s boredom and sense of fulfilment, because there is so much I can do with ice on my face for most of the day. I’m trying not to see the future as scary, but as something with hopefully some sort of excitement.

      I think it’s normal to see the future as a bit scary. It’s the unknown.

      Edit: Maybe that’s one of the most exciting things about being alive. You don’t know what’s around the corner.

    Gutters done. Always like doing them down here because:

    Worth the risk. Lovely up there. Doesn’t look anything like that from ground level.

    Might watch Se7en now. I’ve been looking at what Cinema Nova’s been doing for their anniversary parties and following that

    Edit: was good, but holy shit

      I’d love to check out more of their events like that. It would be so good to watch those classics on the big screen properly

    Rolled outta bed late and dehydrated but still managed to hoist myself out to do the needful:

    ⛽ Car filled up

    🚘 Car given a long overdue clean and vac - tired of Monday’s gunk

    🌬️ Car tyres pumped although I still get the tyre pressure warning…

    🥕 Bought fruit and veg at my old shops on the way back (almost drove back to my old place out of habit 💔)

    🍲 That includes a shit tonne of vegan snags and easy cook shit at the Fancy Woollies which I miss DEARLY despite the shitty parking

    🍦 Grabbed half price ice cream and cheap chips from the shops across the road

    🧹 Vacuumed the joint

    🚿 Had a shower with hot water coming out of the cold tap, as usual on hot days, because this place sucks that way

    ❄️ Aircon on

    🍽️ About to have a late lunch

    That’s it. Staying PUT until Monday. I have plenty of food options. Window shades on my car windscreen because I’m not going anywhere. Need to buy a dash cover.

    So many Severence theories to catch up on and then time for this week’s The Pitt, then I’ll need to tackle the dishes and get round to reading Juice tonight.

    I didn’t mean to, but I also bought a copy of War and Peace today.

    I guess I know how I’m spending the heat

    I’m really not far north of the city, closest to the Viewbank weather station. It’s usually a couple of degrees warmer here but right now it’s 11 degrees hotter than the CBD. It’s 37C.

    How??
