Grabbed some tteokbokki for lunch. Wanted to try it for ages and it was beautiful, but my GOD was it spicy! Normally walk off lunch feeling like I need a coffee but deffo awake now!
OMG TTEOKBOKKI!!!
I dropped my kid and her friend off at the station and I said “watch out for gypsies tramps and thieves”.
And I got nothing back. Not even a smile.
Oh man. I love that song, totally forgot about it until now.
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say…
Oooooo I have that sound effect on my microphone 🎤
I really don’t think you’re strong enough nooo
Touché Cher.
Nah you’re not using the right lingo, you’ve gotta say eshays and bogans. I’d also throw in drongos, but gronks could work too
Bitches, eshays and sketchy people
But every night all the men would come around
And lay their money downDespite being her first solo No 1, that song did not survive outside the 70s, I’m afraid.
Hey, it lives on in my house on a Friday night thanks.
I have a pretty substantial library of older music and didn’t catch the reference, so I guess so. I did guess it was probably a reference to some obscure old thing though
mornin’
Why hello there 🥓

Sorry catfish, noticed you’re out of blinker fluid. Gonna need to get that replaced before you can leave I’m afraid. Can’t let you leave without it - it’s unsafe and I don’t want to be sued when turn into someones lane. That’ll be $1,475, thanks. Cash or card?

Does the closure of the cafe mean you can no longer make my favourite - a mars bar wrapped in bacon, dipped in blue, white, and red food colouring, breadcrumbed, deep fried, wrapped in an american flag, covered in 17 layers of chocolate, breadcrumbed again, deep fried, dipped in more blue, white, and red food colouring, and served with little american flags on a stick?
I’m sorry bac bac, but if you’ve discontinued my fave, I will need to riot.
I would’ve but it is after eight and your promise of riot is too attractive to pass
Oh. Well I don’t really know how to riot, I think I need more people for a proper one. Otherwise I’ll just look like a crackhead
A suitably portable brunch meal that won’t take too long to make

Delicious, and now I can see time!
Finally updated my phone, the new one has been sitting in a drawer for months only to find Memmy is no longer available? Oh well, back to Mlem.
Also, why do some apps stay logged in and others require re-logging in, not to mention emails… The joys of technology. Though, can’t complain considering how easy the transfer is to get up and running.
Now need to get the screen protector and cover. If only I could just get up…
Oooo. I think I know this one. It frees up the highway to the server. I think.
I was under the impression it was a super highway, has it been downgraded?
Perhaps that’s what it was.
every time I visit Richmond the town seems a little poorer, more closed shops, more people in dire straits. Overheard some guys sitting around discussing their favourite home made dinners. ( The homeless don’t cook. ) 😔
Alternatively (and totally off topic) the town of Richmond in Tasmania is beautiful.
yes it is
Richmonds always been a bit sketchy.
cant even imagine, been a few years since I worked out that way and it was pretty rough back then. Covid wasn’t kind to bridge road.
The rot set in well before covid. I’ve been working on Bridge road since 2012 - just at the very end of its glory days as a centre for the cheaper end of the rag trade. Online shopping killed that, but it took a long time to die. Re-inventing itself now as wellness practitioners and eateries.
For real scunge, look at Johnston St.I literally chased down a young man I saw walking without shoes, he wasn’t begging, gave him a 50 and made him promise to get shoes at the op shop 5 minutes down the road . I know he might spend it on shit but then maybe he will get shoes.
You are a kind soul
i can’t help everyone but i can help those i see
I should have taken him and made him try some on and then pay
and I’m guessing he’s so disorganised and maybe drugged a bit too that he just forgets to put shoes on , or maybe his shoes weren’t waterproof and got ruined or got stolen
shit happens 😔
The factory with the exploding fire this afternoon, also had a fire incident last year with a fatality. Appalling negligence by Worksafe.
what responsibility do factory owners have?
Spent four hours out of home. Out to Prahan, back into Flinders to Spencer St. Then hung out with my partner for his lunch. Dropped into a shop on the way home and now I’m actually back.
The cat is pleased with my return and the bribe of wet food to remain on his good side.
…I forgot toilet paper. FML.
We got a mass email at work advising us to be cautious because the wind was heading our way for a while and the outdoor crew got a heads up almost as soon as it happens. Looks like it’s blowing south now. Those videos are pretty wild
Glad I’m far enough to not be smelling it. When that recycling joint went up a few years back it was vile!
yikes, that’s massive
Holy shit.
The camera person deserves a raise for catching that barrel so clearly.
I’ve nearly finished listening to Return of the King, 3rd time and it still felt like I was up there on Mt Doom with Frodo and Sam or with Pippen and Merry on the battle field and all the good byes bring a tear
I had a small coughing episode while bending over to clean a water spill on the floor and got the worst cramp in my side hip / lower stomach area. Incredible pain for around 30 seconds and then it was done. It’s still a bit sore now.
Cramps are the absolute worst. Don’t get them often, but when they happen they feel like 10/10 pain level.
I had a leg cramp while I was sleeping the other night and it was so painful. It’s still a little bit sore where I got the cramp and its been two days.
I am the cold. I slept bad. I had delicious left over pizza for breakfast and lunch. Mixed feelings about today
what kind of pizza?
Zucchini, eggplant, olives, oregano, garlic with non-dairy cheese.
The non-dairy cheese this place uses is really really strong in cheese flavour, which isnt ideal but it’s still good.
That sounds delicious.
It waaas.
Anti-gratitude thread :)
The nurse who keeps turning all the lights on then leaving the area.
The joke of a vege meal.
Anti grateful for my companies execs being pieces of shit and paying everyone bare minimum, fucking people over where they can get away with it
I am ungrateful towards metros signs about their punctuality and whatnot. WE ALL KNOW THEYRE LIES! LIES!
I am ungrateful for the nice weather today because I could’ve had sheets on the line. Tomorrow is gonna be shit and raining.
Missed opportunity to use a frowny face
I’m ungrateful that the cops still haven’t called me and my org is still trying to shirk responsibility for the burglary and property damage
Edited in an attempt to fix.
I hope they resolve the situation soon Baku.
Ungrateful for my inability to break out of my epic decade-long-stuck-in-the-same-role career rut that has me dreading coming into work each day.
Hmm… are any different jobs sticking out to you at the moment? Changing directions?
"Every time you come in yelling that Goddamn ‘Rise and Shine! Rise and Shine!’ I say to myself, ‘How lucky dead people are!’
I hate that I’m still stupidly drinking coffee when I’m not sleeping properly at the moment.
Ditto. Decaf?
Tastes shittier but I find that and matcha help.
Nah. Not decaf. Was a freshly brewed coffee from a stovetop.
Superbly delicious but probably super high in caffeine. :(
I am angry that a rich country like Australia has poor living on the streets and I am angry that government measures and money for the poor and others who need is stolen in rorts.
Ungrateful for my neighbour. He’s not mowing his lawn today, but he’s making all sorts of noise in his garage. Dude, just stop it.
Repeated cold fronts that are making winter unbearable for outdoor activity
If my passport scanned in Dandenong South at 1:30pm today and I live in Melton, I ain’t getting it today even though it says “it’s coming today” am I?
Sorry C-dog, it ain’t happening
You should get it before week’s end though!
You might get it today, but more likely it will be tomorrow.
😔
Sadly seems a little far for them to deliver it to you today.
Does your package have an eta on delivery day?
No, not yet.
Gratitude thread :)
I’m grateful for:
- deleting Tik Tok
- long form content!
- having work first thing in the day (like a normal person) and actually having a shift today
- making my lunch for today yesterday
- getting more opportunities to say no because of changing refund policy at work
- psych appointment tomorrow
I deleted the ticky tocky after a bunch of children started abusing me and sending me death threats for daring to have a different opinion. I unfortunately just replaced it with youtubey shortypantses though
Finally someone else who calls it the ticky tocky. I also like Tik Toxic.
YouTube Shortypantses, I’m stealing that one.
I call Facebook “facky backy” too, fun to confuse people with that one
It reminds me of toc-tick from the phantom tollbooth.
I need to reread that book…, it’s been a long time
Grateful for getting to end on time today, no nasty emails, and for the beautiful sunshine after a grey morning!
Grateful for having enough time go for a walk and then come back to cook up more delicious dinners.
And grateful I still have about two more months of cheap $2/mth NYT subscription to play Spelling Beeeeee
I’m grateful for:
- Never having tiktok since it’s inception
- Never having seen 2 girls 1 cup (if you don’t know don’t go looking)
- Vegas who is a good boy oh yes he is oh yes he’s such a good boy (I’m dog-sitting)
Ok, we need vegas-tax now
Can do! He posed politely for you
Oh he’s just gorgeous!
What a distinguished gentleman!
Grateful for living near beautiful parks
grateful for Bill and Ted
grateful for the patience and love of Mr Seagoon 😭
Grateful for my colleagues who are in the same boat with me still trying to paddle and keep hopes up
I havent deleted tiktok, but I don’t use it after noticing my ex has an account. I didn’t realise it notified you when you look at someone’s profile… So I got a nasty message from them hahaha
Grateful to still live rent free in their head lol don’t think they realise I still got allllllll the receipts 😂
Also grateful for the Sun 🙌
- My new bed.
- Passing uni and having a plan (Arthur)
- That I can still cook low and slow despite not having done it for months.
- That I am capable.
When I was in Melbourne a few weeks back, I matched with someone a day or two before I flew back home. We didn’t talk much (and didn’t meet obviously) while I was there but we’ve spoken a lot since I got home, graduating to swapping phone numbers and texting. We even handwrite little notes and take a photo and send it to each other. We are planning on a video chat soon and meeting next time I am in Melbourne (assuming video chat goes well).
I like her a lot (so far) but the whole ‘we live in different states’ thing is really souring my hopes. There is nothing really tying her to Melbourne in terms of family and commitments, and she said she is actually able to work remotely so I guess that it is a possibility. I also said I would like to move back to Melbourne once I finish studying, but it would depend on if my daughter wants to as well.
I’m likely just setting myself up for heartbreak - especially with my history - but what is life if not trying things in the hopes it will all work out?

yadda yadda let’s go to the arcade.

Reckon you’re gonna find a bunch of melbournians more than happy to GTFO outta here after the past few years.
But lets back up, you dont know if there is physical chemistry here yet. Lets worry about moving after you’ve shared a cuddle on the couch watching a movie. Not like its hard to fly between the 2 for a weekend visit either.
I am one of those people who thinks of everything. Short term and long. Like pros/cons, cost benefit analysis type thing.
It could be all for naught as there may not be any in person chemistry like you said.

Oh 100% the same. But its a bit premature till you know if shes a open mouth chewer or a big fan of farting in bed or some other horrible stuff. Kiss the girl first is my point.

Wait till you see property prices in Tassie. Shit’s cooked over there too.
christ dont I know it. But the grass is always greener when you’ve paid 2.5k to take your car over, right?
I’m kicking myself for not buying a property there 15 years ago. Went there for work (pretty remote area) and houses were going for like $50k
The 2 houses I lived in for a few years around 2013 both went for 75k. But one of them had a major mould infestation, and the other had holes in the floor and walls, massive gaps around all of the doors, no insulation, and made a creepy whistling noise whenver there was wind. Also the neighbours were psychotic and one was a drug dealer.
Fun times
You could potentially invite her down for a weekend in Hobart (from previous posts you live outside of the big smoke), meet up chill, do whatever, see what happens. If things go well and she’s comfortable, she can stay at yours. If not, she has a hotel (or such).
Or do the same but you come back to Melbourne.
Give her a proper rogering and see what happens.

Fuck I was trying so hard to be diplomatic with my approach. “shared a cuddle” was originally “share a bed. Or the back seat of a rental car” but decided it wasn’t diplomatic enough.
I feel that rogering is very underutilized in our current vocabulary.
It’s a jolly good term.
personally prefer “root”. Theres something so elegantly bogan about it.
Give her a proper rogering and see what happens.
Just so succinct and to the point, lol.
Why use many word when few do trick?
The anti-Boyd Crowder approach
Made his character all that much better though. I am not in his league.
A girl I work with met her boyfriend of two years on a night out in Sydney! He lives in Sydney, she lives in Melbourne. They visit each other once a month. It’s working out well for them.
You only live once and you’ll never know unless you try :) When’s the video chat set up for? Keep us updated!
That is so good of them. Glad that is working out.
And yeah, we wouldn’t be the first interstate (or international) people to have met, moved etc so it isn’t out of the realm of possibilities.
Either Thursday or Friday we’re gonna have our video chat.
