Really good unKAOS day. Started off by doomscrolling but then did a dumbbells workout I found on YouTube, took dog for his tiny walk, completed day 1 of C25k, cooked some daal and now I'm going to do some music practise and put on a movie. I feel the best I've felt in a long time :)

I've got a cousin moving to Australia in a couple of weeks. It'll be the first family member I've seen since I was in high school.
Kind of exciting, but also nervous.
As someone who has relatives in other countries that I barely know, I would say donβt put too much pressure on it. If you click well and become friends thatβs really awesome. But if you havenβt had contact for a long time (or ever?), look at it like meeting a stranger. Not everyone will be compatible and if you donβt feel a connection thatβs ok too.

I'm an only child and my cousins we're like my siblings.
We don't talk much (distance and time zones)... but we're still close...if that makes sense
this is awesome π
and also the first time they have seen you in ages and they are moving too, they must be excited and nervous too

Bonnie Tyler - It's A Heartache (Official HD Video) - YouTube https://share.google/INxatc5WeGCBfubCg
Such a great voice.
The isolated vocals version of Total eclipse of the heart is the best song I've ever heard
I get shivers in my butt hole

Off to a DnB thing tonight at the carlton club. Never been. Looks like a very nice place going from the photos.
Free and $10 pints (apparently). Bit suspicious of the pints though.
Enjoy!
RIP Derryn Hinch. He was controversial but I liked his no bullshit attitude, and naming and shaming pedo priests.
What pisses me off about Mr Hinch is that he got a kidney transplant by pulling a LOT of strings to go to the top of the list, then once the transplant had taken, he went out and celebrated by getting drunk. Can't argue with his campaign against pedos and the like, but he could also do major cognitive dissonance without blinking an eye. Not sorry he's gone - one good thing doesn't imo balance out his commitment to being oppositional for the publicity feelgoods in the worst way.
EDIT: he lived before clicks and views, but that was what drove him. An obligate hypocrite of the deepest dye. FURTHER EDIT: and a close friend of Rolf Harris.

I just remembered, Gaerea isn't the technical 3 guitar band. That's Unprocessed. Gaerea is the all black wearing black metal band. I wonder what crowd crossover there will be of the Deafheaven show last night and tonight
Look up 762 Media if you want some good long form train content. They do documentaries on trains and train lines around here. And with their view counts they're in it for the love of the game
Up early for an NBN tech to come over, hoping that's done nice and easy and then I have absolutely no idea what I want to do today.
allergy news
since I have cut 99% of dairy out of my diet I no longer have tingly lips and nose and I no longer have a sore throat. I had a sore throat for 8 months. So been better for about 3 weeks. It's a great relief.
If anybody's wondering, the airport pickup system is fucked...I left the short stay car park 30 minutes ago and I've only made it half way so far....what the fuck
Is this the new arrangement? Thanks for the warning, I need to pick someone up in a couple of weeks.
I would strongly suggest picking people up from terminal 4, regardless of what airline they come in on.

Try and google a quote (spike slapping wet concrete avenue 5) . Get an ai summary that might look promosing. It's two lines of that quote and fourteen paragraphs on the etymology of the phrase. Tell summary to fuck off. Google spike "like slapping wet". Google now claims no results

And thatβs why we need to build ginormous data centers, using up megalitres of drinking water and the power of a small town. So that Google can give worse answers than it did 3 years ago. Apparently itβs called βprogressβ
Grocery shopping done.
House cleaned.
Daughter going to concert.
Dan Murphy's had a clearance on some interesting liquor.
Still have some work to finish, but start to weekend is looking pretty sweet.
Is she going to the metal band Gaerea? I'd like to go but probably won't make it. Ask her how they are for me
She's going to The Neighbourhood. Apparently quite popular amongst the youth.
Not really into metal π
Ooh what interesting liquor did you get?
Couple of aussie whiskeys. Coastal Stone (blended) for under $40. And another that I can't recall now. Also an aussie Agave alcohol..which could be tequila and a Mezcal that was like $45.
Think we spent like $170 on 4 bottles. They'll last for some time too.
A nice ride to lunch with the family on an unofficial day off. I haven't been riding as much recently so it's always nice to get on there when I can
