Sometime around Monday/Tuesday I passed a milestone of six months on my running streak. Every day since October 16, I’ve gone for a run. I’ve averaged about 6 hours a week running, or roughly 24 hours running every 4 weeks.I wonder whether I’ll make it to a year? It would mean not getting sick for a year. Seems unlikely.
Right on. Currently my body can only handle about every second day. So my day streak is perpetually on 1.
You’re an absolute machine, holy shit. 👌💪💪
Sky pretty. A lovely warm soft pink/orange.
I’ve been having a headache that’s as much nausea as head pain. Don’t tell me the migraines are back. Then again dark chocolate is sometimes a headache trigger for me.
I’m having insights that are telling me I need to get good at art fundamentals but I don’t have the discipline to practice. It’s so boring and stressful to make yourself fail for the purpose of learning and draw incomplete imperfect things. Right now it seems to be enough of a challenge to get through each day.
so many hugs
and re art, read books, watch videos and visualise doing the art but mainly don’t feel bad 🤗😘
Second this. It’s ok if you aren’t up to it (it takes so much energy at that early learning and making mistakes stage). It’s ok to read, tinker, just touch your art supplies to stay connected and not do anymore than that until you can
Morning all. Going to my parents’ for lunch, so for now I await pickup
wtf, who was the genius who fucked up the presentation of la times sunday crosswords
can’t see all the clues anymore, can’t cross reference anything visually
I do the whole puzzle, not just one letter at a time
✨Wasteland Marilyn is cleaning up The Commonwealth, one Ghoul at a time ✨
3 cheers!
I feel very Melburnian today. Instead of my usual cuppa tea I French pressed some coffee. I should go and line up at a register at Coles with my puffer jacket on and buy some croissants for that all round Melbourne experience. Oo la la
Does one of your neighbours have a greyhound in a jumper you can borrow?
Not that I’m aware but I have seen a nice looking husky trot past a few times.
You buy your croissants from Coles and not the expensive bakery or food store that’s mostly a cafe?
Yep. Coles or Aldi’s 3 pack for me.
I accidentallied my fried rice attempt into more like a congee… Tastes good but
That friend I was talking about the other day, the one who had that breakup.
He’s completely imploded. He’s done some stuff that’s basically pushed almost all his friends away. Just crazy stuff, like stealing from friends etc
I’m taking a biiiiig step back.
It’s sad to see, but I don’t think I’m going to have much to do with him for a long while.
Oh damn, I’m so sorry :/ But definitely better to look after yourself and keep yourself safe!
How does one go from a break-up to stealing?
I mean stupid drunk stuff, I get?
He was trying to get back at her by stealing some of her stuff. Fucking moron.
That’s not a good sign
It is sad.
I’m so sorry. That person is either some kind of psycho or is on a tragic self destructive streak.
Beans I say. Beans.
Careful there. Beans are part of what get hexbear defederated from .world
Being overseas I’m reminded once again that cafe culture and laneway art is really not unique to Melbourne and yet it’s spruiked here as the best thing since sliced bread.
My theory is that Melbourne’s awful weather is the cause. The city has adapted to have a lot of indoor type options to go. There’s a lot of exploring involved. I don’t know where it started, I think one of the first was The Waiter’s restaurant - a place that ignores all the rules of being on the main drag and trying to attract customers. This place is hidden up stairs down an alley up the end of Bourke St. It’s been there since the 40’s.
People like finding these hidden places and Melbourne has loads of them. It isn’t unique around the world, I’m sure, but Perth sure doesn’t have hidden places like this.
I worked at Meyers place bar below waiters club for about four years.
I always found that really kind of, I don’t know, a bit sad I guess? It’s all we have to celebrate culture wise in a way. Or I’m misreading the vibe.
Nah there is always something going on in Melbourne. Cricket, Australia Open, Formula One, Moomba (usually), Comedy Festival, AFL, etc etc. Then there are dozens of little festivals throughout the year. Plus there are several theatres and concerts always happening.
You don’t really see it all when it’s all you’ve known. But it’s a lot.
@Nath @ajsadauskas I live in Perth. I flew to Melbourne once with family to watch the Australian Open tennis. I’ve flown to Brisbane and Sydney a few times to watch concerts from international acts that don’t visit Perth. Lots going on over east in the big cities. Enjoy it.
@Nath @Gibsonisafluffybutt It also depends on where in Melbourne.
There’s plenty of arts, culture, live music, bars, sport, festivals, etc., in the CBD and inner suburbs. Between the trams and trains, inner suburban public transport is reasonable (better than most US cities, worse than many in Europe and Asia).
But then you get to the middle and outer ring suburbs — places like Knox or out Casey way — and it’s a cultural wasteland.
I feel like Melbourne is at best middling amongst tourist cities. There’s not any great architecture, natural wonders like mountains or harbour, no history due to being a young city, no particular cultural vibe. It’s nice enough but it’s not a destination city. Way more interesting places to visit.
It feels like clutching at straws for something to celebrate about the city. The truth is the city of Melbourne itself is nothing remarkable.
It’s all the things just outside it that are nicer ie Dandenong Kinglake national park Wilson’s prom great ocean road etc.
I haven’t been overseas as much as I’d like, but I’ve lived in Melbourne most of my life.
Sometimes it feels like it’s basically just a much larger version of a small town. Maybe all of Australia is kind of like that.
Honestly I’m inclined to agree. I liken Australia cities to subway sandwiches. At their core they are basically the same with only toppings to differentiate them slightly.
@Gibsonisafluffybutt @wscholermann
Most every place has its charms. Sometimes it takes a visitor to show you the wonder in something that to you has become normal or mundane.
It’s the little things that make a place special to me. Things that aren’t famous, that you won’t see photos and expos about.
Like walking down a street in Saigon and seeing a tiny little shrine just minding its own business on a street corner. Quirky and not something you hop on a plane for.
I can’t even bear to finish For All Mankind because it got so ridiculous and poorly written.
Instead blasted through Shrinking and even though the writing is a little on the nose with the modern vernacular, it is really breezy, hilarious and sweet and just what I needed 😊
It’s such a fun show, makes me wish I had boisterous Americans as friends for a second *. Also, I absolutely loved uber-sarcastic Harrison Ford, he absolutely killed it.
- while forgetting how insanely privileged/unrealistic it is for these people to have so much free time… and for the main character not to be deregistered as a therapist ages ago for having his client live in his own house lol.
Slow Horses or Criminal Records next, maybe. Yo ho ho.
Yeah I gave up on For All Mankind after second season, wasn’t good anymore. Other Apple shows I liked were Foundation, Hijack and Severance. Really like Severance. I found there’s a few gems on Apple but not sure there’s enough content for me to subscribe long term, maybe just dip back in for the next seasons of the shows I liked when they come out.
$5 to anyone who can make it not Monday when I wake up tomorrow
I just need your address and a brick. What day would you like it to be? I’ll warm up my swingin’ arm.
Dating in Melbourne is hopelessly destitute, and that’s a generous description.
I don’t do online dating. That’s a cesspit of terrible conversation.
