    Stayed in bed for an alarming amount of time today watching Fast Forward and Full Frontal clips after someone on the other site mentioned that the infamous breakdancing reminded them of Jane Turner doing gymnastics as Berylina Stumpy…

    Why do I sabotage myself like this! Spent a very large part of a very fine day in bed, when I actually HAD energy to do other things if I’d just put away the phone. Could’ve indulged in videos at night instead. Now I am behind on stuff for next week. At least I got a brisk 30min walk in rather than sitting in negativity.

      I did the same, but on the couch. Watched some tv but was mostly on my phone (and I looked at that clip too!). It does feel like I’ve wasted the day but was feeling pretty blah earlier, so maybe needed some downtime. Good on you for getting a walk in - I reckon half the battle is just getting out of the house sometimes.

        Half the battle is getting out of bed, for me 😭 once I’m actually out of my cocoon it’s easier to get going. I think I’ve been so fatigued recently that my body needs some conditioning to want to do something with my life. I fit the walk in with a time sensitive errand. It’s the only way I seem to get any exercise in.

        It has been nice to completely and fully blob out in some ways though. I feel ready to get stuck into some uni work tomorrow!

      I watch tv in the mornings and then do work and activities until bed time. Morning is my time. :)

    I confess: I was up all night playing contraband police (I was stuck on a level and it was annoying me), playing some missionchief, and messing around with JavaScript and python.

    I don’t understand JavaScript and evidently chatgpt doesn’t either, because my attempt at modifying a chrome extension didn’t quite work. But I used it to create a python script to take a few dozen JSON files from a web scraper, de-duplicate them, and output it to a CSV file, which can then be imported to google sheets and bulk archived onto the Wayback machine

        The only people I’ve heard pronounce it drastically different from Jason are the tech elitist types. You probably know the ones. The arseholes that spend 13 hours a day on tech/programming forums and nitpick every single fucking thing anybody says

        I say it slightly differently from Jason, but barely noticeable. Jason is more like Jas’n, the O mostly vanishes. Similar to Melbourne, it’s not Mel-Born, but you still out yourself as a yank if you say Mel-ben or Mel-bin, because almost everybody from here gets rid of everything between the b and the n. It’s just Melb’n. JSON I pronounce with a more noticeable O. I do not say “Jay Ess Oh Enn”, or JavaScript Object Notation. It’s just Jason with a harder O

    The morning sun is out. I’ve taken the deck chair and I’m outside while having lots of toast!

    Coffee incoming soon too.

    Been awhile since I’ve been able to do this.

    Edit. And what giveth, it taketh away too. Just dropped one slice of toast :(

    Can I just have a fucking break? I put a cat down three weeks ago, and now a dog has fucking cancer?

    Can I just get a month where nothing fucking goes wrong?

    I’m feeling like I need to reduce my tetra-pak footprint. Has anyone tried one of those “make your own oat milk” powder things …?

      Kerrrist, you don’t need to buy a special powder for oat milk. You need a food processor, water and rolled oats.

      Grind 1 cup dry oats in the food processor as fine as you can. Put in a bowl/jug/whatever with 1 tsp salt and 3 cups cold water OR to cover and then about 5 cm over the top. Stir. Put in fridge overnight. Stir again and sieve through muslin into a jug, pressing firmly to extract as much juice as possible. Hey presto oat milk. Stir briskly before using.
      If the oatmeal swells more than the water you put in, add l-2 more cups of water and stir briskly and leave for an hour to soak. You can get at least 2 soaks out of a cup of ground up rolled oats if you are feeling frugal, but one is better.
      The drained oats make quite a nice breakfast cereal with fruit, yoghurt etc. and can be used up in make your own bread. I have used them to crumb fish. They will keep for 1-2 days in the fridge in moist condition. After than toss them or feed them to the dog. Unless you will use them to make uisghe of course, in which case you’ll need to add a lot more water - refer @taleya.

    Something just clicked for me with this “raygun” contraversy: Its the outfit. I mean the dancing is… whatever look I’m not one to judge anyones dancing I still cant figure out “Big Fish Little Fish Cardboard Box”. But the green and gold getup is OK for a a cricketer or something, but just embarassing for a dancing routine!

      Someone mentioned that to me as well, really did look like a part of the cricket team.

      It was interesting to say the least but I don’t think it was up to the same standard as her opponents.

      Did anyone actually watch the whole event? She had both the Gold and Silver medalists among her first battles. She frankly never stood a chance.

      Not that I could really get through the event, a lot of it was too weird for me, I kept skipping through the routines. She was by no means the only weird one. But yes, turning up in uniform was a bad choice. A few of the girls had “street” versions of their uniforms, but Raygun was the only one who turned up lime she was at the opening ceremony.

      My favourite bits were the sign language the girls employed and the sassy things they were saying. The US dancer signed that the neat moves the Chinese dancer did were choreographed and not freestyle. The Chinese straight-up said ‘that was shit’ to something the US girl did.

      Nobody said anything about the Aussie girl’s stuff. Maybe it was genuinely too weird to even comment on? Maybe the girls she was facing knew they were in another class and didn’t feel the need to comment?

      As a sport, I don’t know that it’s my thing. But there are plenty of traditional sports like dressage and fencing that aren’t my thing either.

      The Chinese girl was great - I actually agree that she had pre-programmed moves, but those moves were quite good. The Japanese girl (Ami) who won it was a little battery of joy and energy. I’m very glad she won gold. She was the favourite in our house.

    Procrastinating watching my uni lectures by trying to play Sweet Child O’ Mine on the ukulele. I don’t know how to read tabs.

    Dog revoked his spot in the sun to lie to the shade. Spot stolen!

    My sister and my aunt decided to get cinnamon scrolls, so I am awaiting those.

    Hopefully the rest of the day will be enjoyable.

    I’m trying to force myself to sort out everything that’s been allowed to slide, take care of myself better, but am getting really anxious in the process. I keep running out of energy after doing something.

    Also spending even on essentials is stressing me out. I’m still doing alright (touch wood) but it feels like another financial hit is always right around the corner and it induces a kind of panic. At this point I think it’s just ingrained. If you’re not aggressively saving you might regret it.

    Physically I feel like complete shit lmao. Might be coming down with something. We’ll see.

      It’s totally fine. It’s understandable to want to keep everything under wraps but sometimes you just need to yell about it

      You need to let it out sometimes. It’s better than bottling it all in.

      It can really help knowing you were able to speak and talk about it even if nothing changes.

      The sun is beautiful outside. Maybe take 5 mins to go outside and soak it up a little.

      Hope you’re feeling better soon.

      Have you never read any of my comments? That was nothing. Insert “that’s not a trauma dump, THIS is a trauma dump” meme here

      Jokes aside, don’t feel embarrassed or apologetic for the trauma dumping. Gotta get it out somehow. Sometimes random internet people are the best option. I’m glad you’re feeling a bit better, and hopefully after a nap you start to recover
