After struggling to locate eye(lid)primers I found Nude by Nature, Milani and Barry M at Priceline in Bourke Street.

As UD is usually my holy grail, this is going to be interesting.

I am outside and I can just stand here without blowing away. I'm not even wearing concrete shoes. It's quite nice. So quiet.

apple fucked up my music library, again, ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ

all the live albums, anything not bought with apple , all the special releases, everything moved to cloud which I do not use

fuck apple, so sick of them

this is why we buy cds and vinyl

I really am being a sook about this

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

I'm an MP3 man. iPods and the iTunes requirement kept me outta the apple ecosystem.

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

Pakige day! My new kitchen sponges are on board for delivery. I'm pretty sure I bought more interesting things too, I just can't remember what.

Arts Tasmania have writing awards open for submissions and I submitted 3 stories (2 of my kids horror and one unpublished one). The likelihood of winning is slim, but I can't help think about what winning might do for my bonafides. And then I start thinking about what I'd say as an acceptance speech.

I've always had that habit of thinking about everything that could happen if things turn out as desired (rarely ever do). It's something I wish I could do and then forget about until the time comes up.

Does anyone else do this though? Plan for something and then get excited/think about the possibilities? I feel like I jinx myself by doing it.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Of course I think about possibilities and get excited, that's all about why I make decisions.

Possibilities are part of the reasons behind making decisions.

First up: good luck!!! Put out positivity!!

Second: yessss, I am a shocker for it. My bf casually mentioned it'd be fun for us to do some streaming last night and sure enough, I was then in the shower thinking about how fun it would be to be a streamer with, like, hundreds of people in chat and interacting and what we might do. Urg. It is great fun being a dreamer though, I wouldn't change it!

yes. very much so.

Also we expect a call out in your acceptance speech. "and to the daily thread, who have always been there to support me" ๐Ÿ™ƒ

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

Lol. I will ensure to include you all.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I tend to be the opposite - I think of all the ways that whatever I'm doing is doomed to FAIL and all the possible consequences of that and how I'll cope.

Very rarely am I wrong.

But that said, GOOD LUCK! Is there anywhere we can vote/help or is it purely based on judge's decisions?

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Thank you!

Winners are decided by judges from my understanding.

Do they accept cookies and other 'encouragements'? :D

Oh this is almost too good to be true: scary shit

If Nasa called you and said "We want to send you up, BUT we can only do it on a Boeing spacecraft" you'd say "No thanks!"

I hope they have an inanimate carbon rod for protection.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Stupid rod getting all the glory.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

In Rod we Trust.

It's like the beginning of an Arthur C Clarke novel playing out in real life...

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago
