The man and I have decided to go see Deadpool & Wolverine tomorrow.
17 year old me would be happy in the back row. 27 year old me would've fallen asleep. 47 year old me just wants to get my monies worth.

yeah this is why I go gold class for this sort of thing. Had Infinity war ruined by kids screaming and carrying on so now if its worth going to the cinemas (and to be clear not much is) I go gold class.
I made a snap decision to go see it today. My session starts at 12:30.
As a 49yo who has been comic book reader/collector since i was 16 I want fun, fan service & clear dialogue (I think my hearing is going).
Have fun tomorrow.
I'm watching Fantasmas and this is the most bonkers thing I've watched all year.
rambling
Despite wanting to have nothing to do with the modern world at times this feels like the most cathartic TV series ever. Like someone compressed all my millennial stray thoughts and anxieties and imagination and feelings into an insane fever dream of interwoven comedy sketches. There is really nothing like this out there at the moment.
It's the writer of SNL's most famous sketches like Papyrus and Wells for Boys doing an entire season of wack which is like a dream come true (okay, I see he's done another TV show that I have to track down).
I'm glad TV like this gets made; and I'm glad it isn't as insular and navel-gazing and obnoxiously value-signalling as I feared it might be. There's an endearing, lovable heart behind the turbocharged surreal/ironic humour.
Worth a watch if you feel like it's time for something completely different... and want to process life a little differently.
PS Bibo is my favourite character. angrysound.mp3
Cool. This is definitely on my watch list. ππ
I have a feeling you might hate it hahaha. But it's a fairly quick and breezy watch
I've watched two episodes already.
It's awesome. π It's just like living in new york πΉ
I made chicken burritos for dinner. πΆοΈπΆοΈπΆοΈπ΅βπ« it was delicious
I made speghetti bolognaise.
I cooked probably more pasta than I needed but Iβm stuffed!
not possible to cook too much, just put left overs in fridge or freezer π
Oh I ate it all π

A friend brought me some xs menβs trackies that were on clearance. They are a bit big but they fit more comfortably than the womenβs /shrug
Melbcat has been refusing her wet food for a few days (still eating treats and biccies). Iβm going to have to give her meds directly and then feed the wet food after. Also a bit worried about her breathing and might have to return to the twice daily puffer.
It feels way too early for hayfever to set in but seems it has
I'm not overly fond of the colours women's trackies come out in, they tend to be weird seasonally trendy colours which I don't like, whereas in the men's section it's all black, grey, navy, khaki. Much more practical.
Yeah, I prefer the more classic colours
My late afternoon tea might have actually been dinner. Lemon meringue tart, delish.
I'll have some veggies tomorrow I promise.
Lemons, sugar cane, wheat, all veggies ... and eggs & butter for protein. You're golden.
I need lemon meringue pie now.
Does the line start behind you? because I need some now too.
We could make a conga line π‘
Don't tell anyone, but there's not much I wouldn't do for lemon meringue pie.... including conga-ing.
every time I think of these pies now, lemon, lime or peach, I think of that pie shop in Shape of Water. And I've had those American style pies. Weird.
( unlike real pies made with real ingredients , like fruit and sweet ricotta, real cream and home made sweet pastry )
Yes you do. It was great.
Went to Soi 38 for the first time after work. It's a Thai restaurant in a parking garage that's been around for ever and is super popular. I feel like I got punched in the face with flavour .. so sour, salty and spicy. So delicious.
Hayfever or some kind of communal disease? Hmm I guess I'll find out tomorrow.
Iβve been getting an itchy nose and Melbcat has been sneezing and heavy breathing. (We might start up again on her puffer.)
I think hayfever is hitting already :/
Temu order update: Package arrived. Shoes were ungrated. However the grater was not great. It was very flimsy, bent out of shape and has been refunded.
If the grater was great the shoes would have been grated. π«€
Maybe the grater is bent because the shoes fought back? It could have been great, but it was just outclassed.
Ooh, today is new bank card day. They sent it with priority, so that's nice.
What's not nice is this new design. Previously I had a nice white one, with tasteful colour splashed around, and the numbers and my name hard pressed into it, but they've changed to an obnoxious yellow front, with nothing on it except a chip and a logo, then the back has all of my info on it. And it's not pressed into the card anymore, it's just written on, like a Myki card :(
Yeah the new CommBank cards are not it. They look tacky imo
Edit: just read on about the chip thing maybe being behind lack of embossing. Makes sense
100%. They look horrible
Commbank? I'm with a subsidiary and my new card was the same :( what happened to embossed text after decades of it
No longer using those roller arrangements to process a transaction, so the raised text is not required. Chip does all that now.
But they stopped using that ages ago, I thought it was all about the lovely tactile feeling and being able to differentiate your credit card from all the other cards...
There's different cut outs on the narrow end for different types of cards. Half moons, triangles etc. Can't think what as I don't actually have a credit card as such. My eftpos card has a half moon.
Yeah, it's a travesty :/
My UBank card is similar, but they still made it look nice. This CommBank one looks like someone told a 4 year old to redesign it for a cuppa chup. Also it's vertical. Why would I want a vertical card. It's not fucking tickrock
what happened to embossed text after decades of it
It got enshittified. :(
