Left just tried to eat a Tauntaun, TheVoid has taken out a lien on the brain cell
One on the left is confused by your choices, the black one is pitying you.
Happy Friday :)
The traffic gods were with me today. Ballarat to Burwood, 2 hours door to door. At work 45 mins early!

Yay for school holidays?
Moving stuff to this NAS feels like I'm getting my whole life organised. I have files spread all over the place, especially because of computers that dualboot or saving everything when I've switched distros.
I'll have files from an old computer saved on a drive, but it will all just be in a folder called 'old computer' and I never got around to folding it back into the nee file system.
And I swear I've downloaded the Metroid Prime trilogy like 3 times across different computers and OSs in anticiaption of playing it. Now it can live in one spot until I'm ready

Woke up from an anthology style dream about three different villages/cultures and how they each dealt with death. What the actual fuck dream. Quickly jotted them down, will write them out later me thinkies because it was actually next level insane for my brain.
My dream was about watches. I looked down and I had on a man's watch and it was upside down and too big. It was crucial I read the time so I had to find clues that would locate a watch I could read. It was like a treasure hunt. Very deep.
I dreamed I was in New York and went to the Mercury Theater, the famous one, it was old fashioned and very beautiful. I was excited to tell mr seagoon all about it
of course it doesn't exist irl, it's the name of a famous troupe/theater company.

Bird baff is IN
Much easier and less ibuprofen than moving the fukn clothesline that's for sure.
Truth be told they won't use it lol.
Idea is to do a little simple path to it and plant some things around it.

Tonight's wave:
Beautiful colour. ๐
Wow, that is stunning!!
What a vibe.
You know it
You can hear the Mazzy Star influence but her voice is so different.
Alright. What a fucking week.
Now I need to find something to do tomorrow night that's cheap.
Open to suggestions if anyone has any.
Theoretically you were coming to mine to whoop Racer's butt at MarioKart...
Sweet. I'll be there :)
My credit card balance and my own calculations are not agreeing with each other. Looks like line by line analysis will be required. I think that can wait until tomorrow though, I'm far too busy digesting lunch for that sort of nonsense now.
On my way home from a work social event at Prison Island in docklands, pretty cool set up they have! Kinda like a whole bunch of mini escape rooms but with a good mix of stuff not just same old puzzles. Some physical stuff mixed in
Oh I hadn't heard of Prison Island before!! Is it kinda like a VR sim but with more teamwork built in? Or more towards an escape room? I've heard about VR zombie Shooters popping up but they scare me.
More escape room than that. But it has things like that big floor with changing coloured squares you have to dodge the red ones and stomp on the green ones

Anyone have a sliding doors moment they want to share? Or is it too late for that kinda q?
If I hadn't decided to tell my house mate the truth about my drug use, he never would have told me he believed in me, which was the catalyst to getting where I am now.
If I hadn't have made the decision to go against my ex, and go get beers with my coworkers, I would never have left them at all. My one small rebellion against his insecurities and desire to control everything I do, led me to breaking up with them that very night (late October 2018).
If I hadn't realised sea rocks are really nice to look at and can prop up a clothesline and a birdbath I'd have more of them.
two that I can think of
when my FIL said something so batshit insane I realised that moment he and the rest of the fam were in a cult
and then much later doing CBT when my doc showed me that the people i thought cared for me had never done a nice or kind or supportive thing ever ( I am lucky I am past that , I have the seagoons now ๐ )
it's a bit cool out there
Which is why I'm staying in here
I am desperate for a long beach walk but weather is windy , maybe just a short one and all rugged up
