That cult of the lamb again is insanely addictive. I'm tending to my cultists and they are high maintenance!

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

Real cults delegate. Make some priests.

@Seagoon_ Morning everyone.

So I still have a nose that alternates between being blocked and runny.

Yet I'm feeling less hungover than last week?

Sleeping in has worked wonders โ˜บ๏ธ

It appears that drunk me not only did a load of washing last night, but also put it into the dryer too!

Apparently there was another knife incident in a shopping centre yesterday. This time at Watergardens

I have the crud. Ergh.

Still have to babysit, as too short notice to pull out. Ergh

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

I pulled out of babysitting this weekend and felt guilty until I stepped outside into the dressing cold and had a massive coughing fit. Good luck (the little ones have probably had all manner of crud already)

Solid sleep in till 10:15am. What a whirlwind week it's been. I don't know that I can handle full time hours for long, but for now I gotta push on with it and recharge the coffers.

I can't complain though, I've had some really lovely social interactions - I'm absolutely spent right now, but I think a lot of it is just lack of practice after years of mostly remote work and latterly not working full time. Not used to being seen, being accountable. Once I rebuild those muscles it'll be easier.

I'll have an option of going down to 4 days a week total in a couple of months so that'll be a relief.

Ok so in my dream last night I had an epiphany. Countdown Scrabble.

In these rules, each round someone has the job of picking how many consonants and vowels.

Then everyone has a time to work out the highest scoring word on the board.

Whoever finds the highest scoring gets the points and places the word down.

Any unused tiles go back in the box and used again.

there would need to be two boxes

Highest scoring move or highest scoring word?

there needs to be a timer

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Highest scoring move! Timer definitely needed

It's a good idea but a usual 45 minute game would now turn into a 3 hour game.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Iโ€™ll see how it goes and report back ๐Ÿ˜œ

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Make sure you time it. Hopefully you don't get left an X F Z at the end. Good luck.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Could always go by rounds too. Eg 3 rounds, 5 rounds, exhausted tiles

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

That's much better. A quick game's a good game. ๐Ÿ‘

Loser sculls.

Anyone at a loose end for what to do this weekend? There is a spud festival happening in Trentham!

Happy Star Wars day! ๐ŸŒ

Did a Bunnings run and had to interrupt an animated discussion about the movies between a couple of the staff to ask where something was. ๐Ÿ˜„

May the force be with you.

I was toying with powering up the VCR on here a couple of weeks ago. Today could be a good day to demonstrate to the kids that Han Shoots first. In fact, I hate that expression. Han is the only one who shoots.

Some of the โ€˜newโ€™ bits are vital. The rats line especially. I like the extra monsters but thatโ€™s every universe. Moar weird creatures.

Nice. Iโ€™m trying to choose my outfit for today ๐Ÿ˜‚

I'm wearing my "visit Tatooine" T-shirt. ๐Ÿ˜

Unsurprisingly I have caught Boyoโ€™s snotty crud. House is full of eucalyptus steam but canโ€™t smell it. Cats displeased.

I haven't been practicing. I've been feeling sick all the time, too depressed to stick with anything, and any good art I post would just get scraped for AI.

Edit: I'm slowly sipping some tea and moving over to shapes because trying to shade lightly and evenly with cross hatched ink is driving me spare

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

So sorry you are going through this. A hobby should be for enjoyment, so do what you can, in shorts bursts, without any notion of how much time you โ€˜shouldโ€™ spend on something. Each new technique will take time but be rewarding. You are probably far more skilled already than you give yourself credit for. I reckon I would struggle to draw a stick figure. I would be supremely impressed by anyone who could produce something even close to those shaded examples!

So it's the cats bed and I get to use it sometimes. Thankfully I lure her over to that white doona with treats and she snuggles under it during the night.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

aww, she is definitely a lovely cat ๐Ÿ˜ป
