    Has anyone else watched Fight Club?

    I get it’s about a paranoid schizophrenic.

    What I don’t get is it’s supposed to be a funny comedy. ( this is what the makers say in the dvd commentaries ) True it has some funny moments.

    But to me I see the world in the movie as absurd not funny. There’s a lot of events in the movie that are extreme and barely believable but since it’s a movie and we are supposed to suspend disbelief anyway I just shrug them off.

      It’s meant to be funny on rewatch when you realise the twist.

      I like the movie but it’s gotta be one of the most overrated movies ever

      It’s good but not cerebral good.

      Having said that… Brad Pitt can read the Uzbekistan dictionary for 10 hours and I’ll pay attention.

      The man has an illegal amount of charisma

    Neighbours have forgotten not everyone in the block wants to feel like they live in night club…

    Truly can’t wait to move in May, between party house central and the REA not disclosing they would be our neighbours until after signing the lease (still can’t believe there are no laws around disclosing something like that prior to signing the lease) I just want to get out.

    Didn’t make it to the fishmongers but I cooked up the defrosted tempeh I bought from the Indonesian joint on Glenferrie Road earlier this week. Ugh yessss. So much better than the plastic shit at colesworth.

    Having grown up with fresh tempeh wrapped in banana leaves I really miss easy access to good, properly made tempeh that isn’t some homogenised health food.

    Might even indulge in deep-frying some one of these days 🤭

    Note to self. Induction hot plates work MUCH better if you plug them in. No, don’t ask. I might have to kill you if I tell you.

    Went to QVM with the Minipeelers and came home with some hand made soaps, dishwashing liquid (can take bottle back for discount refills, which I’ve been meaning to get started doing) and castanets 💃The soaps were good value and smell devine, especially the lemon myrtle one.

      Did t expect the Scorchers to be that bad tonight at home.

      You - 15, Me - 13.

      Next game will be Heat Vs Strikers.

      Seeming as though the favourites are dropping games like nobody’s business I’m going to have to go for the Strikers on Monday.

      Good luck!

    The TikTok baked oats thing was a huge success, but apparently I’ve hit my threshold of healthy food again cause my stomach hurts. Curse this crappy digestive system. On the bright side this means I can eat white bread and come chips tomorrow.

    Bloody scammers. Not only do I not own a car to put my non existent e-tag on, last time I delt with Centrelink it was a different Millenium and anything sent at 3am is guaranteed to be bullshit anyway.

      I think the idea is that they send it in the early hours to either wake you up and get you while you aren’t thinking straight, or have you see it first thing while you aren’t thinking straight.

      Though also, that said, a lot of automated Centrelink messages do go out at midnight. But those are sent to MyGov inboxes, not through texts.
