Melbourne

A big thank you to @[email protected] for hooking me up with an optiplex. It started without a problem and I've got it running how I want it to now.

Time to check out some of the selfhosting communities and see what I can do with this thing

Beach doggo is a spent doggo

was on the train at the door admiring the storm when
some guy next to me started talking about the weather
so i obliged
yes i love thunderstorms
yes i do have an umbrella
and you?
he showed me his
umbrella
opened it too, which is a big nono
it is july in lunar calendar — ghost month
this is how you get ghosts

i took a few more looks at the sky
walked away from him
sat back down

I went to get a chicken burger from Red Rooster. They left me sitting at the drive thru window for ages after I’d ordered at the box. Eventually I saw one of the cooks walk up to the guy who was meant to come and see me, he had my burger in his hand and must have said “can I give this to the drive thru?” or something and the guy said yes so he comes over and hands me the burger, says have a good night and closes the window. Notice that at no point had I paid.

I don’t know if it’s just because I’ve been playing too much cowboy video game but I just left with my burger. Peeled out of there like I’d pulled off a heist. So I’m officially an outlaw now. Life is rough on the other side of the law but it sure is excitin’! Yeehaw!

Oh bloody hell the one time I am away for work and I miss all the spring storm excitement. Got lots of cool vic emergency notifications though

Edit: fixed fat thumb typing

I had roast pork for dinner and it was amazing. There is just something special about a good roast.

Power came on and it was a shame in a way because we were having a discussion about the internet: which would you rather, shitty internet or none at all?

Japanese curry complete. Food time!

TIL I need to clean a gutter.

Every single day I have been sorting and clearing out boxes. Today it's getting rid of some sewing supplies I will never use. Maybe some one else can get some use. Yesterday it was a bunch of books, some dvds and some kitchenware I didn't want.

Now that was a storm

One big boom. And…

You know what...if I could choose my job again I would be a Minecraft streamer. It relaxes me so much, and I actually find it useful as a mindfulness exercise.

Check out Waxfraud onYouTube for some extreme background chill.

Looks like the cbd and the inner east copped it. Only minor here in Thornbury. Rain yes, no hail and not much thunder.

This lightning is intense

Thunder is here and lightning too.

I can see purple on the rain radar. This doesn’t bode well.

safe and sound on the train

Ooh power just went out!🔦🕯️

It’s on like donkey kong here in Docklands it’s friggin bonkers

The second round of Weather has coincided with the thankful resolution of 2 hours of panicking over losing my phone and retracing my steps a billion times.

Fittingly, it turns out my phone was lodged in my umbrella... I must've dropped it in there when I left it loosely open and upside down while going to the bathroom or something.

that was a very stressful 2 hours though fuck me.

All hail hail

Ooly crap, it’s coming down.

Oooh lightning

Now that is some rain.
