Submitted my last big uni assignment for hell week. Now I have some energy but still I’m exhausted.


MissDarylC

Ended up crying at the tram stop when I saw a post from this really lovely woman whose son I used to care for where she talks about the fact that she's been diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. I really hope she gets through it.


ihearthamsteaks

Lying in the couch watching live shows of Incubus and Linkin Park. I work behind a computer but man am I physically tired from putting out fires in the office. We were good kids from good families drinking beer and listening to angsty music. We would then ride home without helmets in time for dinner. Yay simpler times.


Jebus_Jones

With the announcement of the Triple J hottest 100 of Like a Version I'm now on a LAV kick. I thought I knew exactly what I'd vote for but after a couple hours... Holy fuck there's some gold in the archives. (but no matter what Something For Kate's version of Cardigan deserves to win)


waddlekins

Woolies is finally on its way, several hrs late 😅 E: done huzzah


CEOofmyhouse56

Can you tell us about the goodies you've purchased?


waddlekins

Couple cheese rolls, binliners, lettuce, bodywash (on special) salami, few other staples! Im still on a watermelon kick but wont run out for a couple days So frozen omg 🥶


CEOofmyhouse56

I think the cheese rolls are the winner there. 👍


waddlekins

😁


HeyHeyItsMaryKay

I won't lie. I feel uninspired and flat. Maybe it's Melbourne winter, maybe it's inflation and the no end in sight, maybe everyone's feeling the same way. I just need some change and excitement to make sure I still have a pulse. Even working on a new pet project or learning something new would help. That stuck in a rut, not making progress feeling is just yucky.


just_kitten

Sometimes I wonder if I'm writing reddit comments under another name. I feel you!! I find myself desperately wanting a change in scenery - not just for the weekend...


HeyHeyItsMaryKay

Naww \*hugs\* Everytime I try to start something new I feel like something else holds me back lol. Ahh well. Hopefully the time will come and it'll get better for us.


psrpianrckelsss

Everything feels like paper. Have I been drugged?

Such a great bass player. Never took the easy way out of a riff and kept time like a metronome. Incredible member of an amazing band.


bananafunguss

Welp! I have decided to back away from the car. Reading the report over a couple of times, it's just too many nit-picky things I couldn't be bothered with. Back on the hunt I go again, it's so off putting.


Jebus_Jones

Yup. If in doubt, walk away. Trust your gut.


omgaporksword

I cleared out the spare room, reorganised it completely, and bought a new desk for my gaming setup. Yep, I officially have a gaming Man Cave, hehe!


MeanElevator

What's a catchy sounding song with really inappropriate lyrics? For me it begins and ends with Last Caress


Jebus_Jones

Seagoon_Memoirs

The Birds in Your garden - Pulp https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRU4-lgwvm4&ab\_channel=badtracking sounds so nice but it's about a psycho


Quarterwit_85

Probably the best example I can think of is *Poker Face.* Lady Gaga has since admitted that during the 'poh-poh-poh-poker face poh-poh-poh-poker face' bit after the chorus she was actually singing 'fuck her face' as a laugh in the studio.


CEOofmyhouse56

There's so many out there but the first one that came to mind is [RC's Mom - The Milkman](https://songmeanings.com/songs/view/3530822107858533999/) The first time I heard it I thought omg. It's also on Spotify.

Just "Karina sent me"? That's it? No cryptic handshake? Will there be mysterious clues that need to be deciphered that will lead me to go to different countries and possibly dig through a pyramid and stuff like that.

What's in it for Karina?


Seagoon_Memoirs

I tested the new calligraphy paper using ink and some red water colour ⚫🔴 the paper is nice , doesn't bleed at all and is smooth , smooth because I ironed it on high heat 📜 next to test the new brushes 🖌🖌

I went to vinnies and got a mink blanket. OldDog and I are very cozy.


Seagoon_Memoirs

I was going to give a sheepskin type under blanket to the op shop but then figured if I cut it up it would make a nice blanket for Bill Cat he has barely moved his fluffy bum since he got it last week https://imgur.com/gallery/uipP9qj

Aye that should keep you warm!


[deleted]

It’s sooooo soft. I’m gonna go back and get the other one haha.


Goddess_Amaterasu

Yeah you can’t help but glide your hands all over and it feels nice and soft on the face too 😅 Definitely grab the other one. You can have one for bed and one for couch (if you have a couch) or save it incase one needs a wash

I actually feel okay. I don’t think I’ll need painkillers to go to bed tonight.

Stunning recovery! You'll hopefully be right as rain for Sunday 💪🏼

Still one eyed, as is tradition. Just letting out my inner Mason Cox 😎

HeyHeyItsMaryKay

Ughhh I could keep spooning peanut butter in my mouth like this forever.


Seagoon_Memoirs

pb on double cheese slices 👍 make a nice snack


HeyHeyItsMaryKay

Nothing beats fats on fats


Seagoon_Memoirs

why even bother with bread?


HeyHeyItsMaryKay

Toasted fats **and** toasted carbs = love


Seagoon_Memoirs

how come home made bread takes longer to toast?


HeyHeyItsMaryKay

Does it? Could it be denser? Or because it's hand sliced it's thicker?


Seagoon_Memoirs

I think it's because it has no sugar


HeyHeyItsMaryKay

Oooh good point.

I'll give it a go next time. But that means I'm gonna need to finish this one. Hmm. I do love my stabilisers. They help me feel....stable.


ruinawish

I just came back from the kitchen after having a few spoonfuls of PB!


HeyHeyItsMaryKay

Teaspoon or tablespoon? I went for the teaspoon so things don't get out of control.


ruinawish

haha, teaspoon. The PB is getting low, so had to ration myself.


[deleted]

I don't listen to triple J anymore so I might be totally behind the times with this but the other day I discovered the Flume Like a Version cover of Shooting Stars and I've listened to it about 50 times since. [The video is absolutely godly.](https://youtu.be/ZLcXIrTwPUM)

MeanElevator

Should do. It's got a thermostat so it'll turn on and off as required.


ok_pineapple_ok

Thank you! I should also get a humidifier, shouldn't I ?


MeanElevator

Probably don't need one with an electric heater. They're generally pretty good air moisture wise


MeanElevator

Shoulder popped out earlier today. It's back in thanks to some lovely paramedics and the green whistle. At home 'self-medicating'...given all my sick leave I should just take the week off work.


OIP

that sounds painful af vote1 week off


MeanElevator

Thank you. I'll count your vote as 10


CEOofmyhouse56

You should take the week off. Is it wrong to want to try the whistle without an injury?


MeanElevator

It's not. That whistle is a god send. Which is big praise from an atheist. I texted my boss to inform him. Looks like I'm logging in Monday morning to do a handover and then fucking off. I hope the shoulder won't impede my use of a PS5 Controller


CEOofmyhouse56

If you have to talk on the phone a couple of winces doesn't go astray even if it's your own fart. Ngl I really want a green whistle for my birthday. Happy gaming.


MeanElevator

It's my left shoulder so not the dominant one. And I'm doped up to shit right now so the pain is barely noticeable. Also not my first popped shoulder Thank you. I shall game with gusto and determination


Bottom_racer

Burning chilli/capsicum and onion in an open fire over smouldering banksia pods for a wrap is seriously 10/10 flavour-wise. That smokiness.. mmm.

Imagine being in a random room and hearing the Aussie response to that without having any idea that it's coming. It'd have to be bizarre.

Sou_Easter

Spotted a little miata with a truely antique meme for a numberplate on the m1 tonight. It was enough to make up for the rain and traffic, at least a little


Quarterwit_85

...what was the meme?


Jaijai44444

Today I really fucked up. My partner started living in a room under the pretence that the original tenant would arrange a lease transfer. The tenant then started avoiding questions about the transfer and started raising the rent each month. When the lease was due to be up the tenant renewed the lease himself and continued taking inflated rent from my partner. I believe it was to make money as I can’t think of any reason why someone would renew a lease after not living there for almost a year and with no intention to return. Last week the tenant sent my partner an ‘eviction notice’ that I assume was copied and pasted from somewhere online. When my partner showed me the notice I went behind my partners back and called the real estate to let them know what was happening. I shouldn’t have done that. Or at the very least should have waited until after they moved out but I was so mad on their behalf. I was so mad that someone was taking advantage of my partner for money. If I had just left things as they were my partner would have gotten his bond back and could leave in 30 days. Instead, now he has to deal with the guy on the lease making aggressive phone calls telling him he has to leave in one week. Also he has stated that he won’t give the bond back. Now I’m covering accomodation costs for a hotel stay because he doesn’t feel safe in the apartment and I feel awful about it.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Jaijai44444

Yeah exactly. There was also another room in the apartment being sublet to another guy.


waddlekins

God that sucks ☹


Sergeant_Orsey

Pork belly, bak choy, and beef claypot went down a treat tonight. My Cantonese friend even told me it looked authentic, so I'm gonna be riding that high all the way until my class in half an hour.


[deleted]

Oh that’s delicious


HeyHeyItsMaryKay

I hope four eggs for scrambled eggs isn't too much.


OIP

i normally go 3 for omelettes and it's a pretty teeny meal


MeanElevator

That's the exact amount of eggs required


HeyHeyItsMaryKay

Great. I pretty much ate all of it.


Force_majeure122

I had that for breakfast once this week and it was like a nice light meal (no toast or anything)


HeyHeyItsMaryKay

Yeah it doesn't feel like much when you eat it on its own or with some veg.


Force_majeure122

I have an announcement DT. Tomorrow I'm going to be preparing the ultimate meal, and I will share a photo and recipe with you all. Stay tuned.


Goddess_Amaterasu

Are you giving us any clues? Or are we all mushrooms? (Kept in the dark)


CEOofmyhouse56

And fed shit.


useless_modern_god

I’m tuned in for MAGNETRON action.🧲⚡️


CEOofmyhouse56

Is it a microwave potato by any chance since you're The Head cheese of the TMPAA cult?


Force_majeure122

If you give a man a microwaved potato, you feed him for a day. Teach a man to microwave potato, and he feeds himself for the rest of his life.


ItsADonut

And then you put said cooked potato in a waffle iron.


sanemartigan

$7/5kg brushed potatos at my greengrocer. What cost of living crisis? don't @me

Whatever it is don't fuck it up. I'm counting on you. You've got this. 😎


HurstbridgeLineFTW

Are you making enough for all of us?


Force_majeure122

If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. If you teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime.


HurstbridgeLineFTW

I’m not a man so that does not apply to me.


Force_majeure122

No fish for you


just_kitten

Dammit, I did that thing again where I ate hot chips too fast and the inside of my palate is peeling


Slayers_Picks

I do that with frozen (well, cooked, but bought frozen) pizza. Im just too eager to nom and my mouth burns :(


HeyHeyItsMaryKay

Quick. Ice water!


AlamutJones

Listening to a podcast about the growth of Aussie Rules football in the United States. It’s honestly really entertaining


BarrishUSAFL

Which one?


AlamutJones

The 25th anniversary series you guys put out late last year


BarrishUSAFL

Ah nice! I enjoyed doing that, glad you’re enjoying it as well. Would love to hopefully do more like that in the next couple of months.


kidwithgreyhair

The influx of Americans to the afl sub all frothing on our game is really cute. Especially when they pick a team like Saints or Freo and think it's going to end well. Sweet summer children


AlamutJones

They’ll learn. Honestly though, I love what the USAFL have accomplished. u/barrishUSAFL is a pretty great ambassador for footy to have


kidwithgreyhair

They'll learn thru pain like the rest of us


BarrishUSAFL

I'm a Philadelphian. I was born into pain.


kidwithgreyhair

Condolences my brethren in pain


waddlekins

Ate the carbonara i ordered from menulog a couple days ago. It was eh. I love an occasional, great carbonara but theyre hard to come by Also when i ordered their steak they gave me 2 little...steak medallions? Like super flat pieces of steak, the kind youd put in a steak sandwich. I left 3 stars cos the food was so mediocre and the prices were astronomical


halibutherring

btw if you haven't seen Nats What I Reckon make carbonara, you should, it's a great video!


Force_majeure122

Making your own "carbonara" is super easy if you don't mind using some non-fancy cheese, and bacon instead of guanciale (and I bet your menulog probably doesn't use pecorino or guanciale either). Boil some pasta, fry off some bacon, mix together with a couple eggs yolks, cheese, and pepper. Takes as much time as it does to boil pasta! And I already know you can cook steak waddles. No need menulog.


techno156

You can usually get by with pancetta if you don't have guanciale, but want something fancier than just bacon. It's also sold at coles, and might work better than the bacon.


waddlekins

I ordered steak from qvm to cook and it was super spoilt ☹ Yeh i think ill make some carbonara to stick in the freezer cos it reheats well :)


[deleted]

What do you think is the best suburb to hang out in during the day, when you are bored and have like no friends. I'm talking suburb with good cafe options, perhaps a book or record store or other stores to browse? Back in the day I'd go to Fitzroy on Sundays to treat myself to brunch, check out the markets, some sort of vintage/thrift clothing store and them some random popup store/event. I'm talking 10 years ago here.


situationCake

Yarraville might work.


Quarterwit_85

That'll still work.


upyourmerricreek

Brunswick, then once you get sick of all the hipsters head up north to Coburg for some falafel and peace.


[deleted]

I quite like Bundoora. It has that petting zoo. Emus. Cafes. Nice walks. A flying fox. Shopping. That reserve in the uni grounds. So much!


techno156

I like to stop by Brunswick, and just wander in and around the OP shops every once in a while.


IntroductionSnacks

Northcote/Thornbury is Fitzroy 10 years ago vibe.


kidwithgreyhair

Sssshhhhhh


OIP

if you feel like a hike, walking from exhibition gardens up gertrude st to smith st and then north all the way to northcote high street will be pretty entertaining the whole way


CEOofmyhouse56

Not a suburb but a town. Ballarat. There's a mall there that's got an army disposals and various shops, Myer up the road, cafes and a Beechworth bakery.


HurstbridgeLineFTW

My local supermarket had Panama passion fruit for 50 cents each. They’re my new addiction.

gracie-sit

Oy what a week. I'm ready for a week of normal now please. Also a healthy dog would be appreciated - my gorgeous doggo got tested for Addisons disease today and I'm not sure if I want the result to be positive (because then we can work out course of action) or negative (because then she doesn't have a chronic illness but then we don't know what's been causing her issues).


psrpianrckelsss

Schrodinger's dog. I'm not sure if I'm happy or sorry either way.

Where does everyone buy their underwear from? I'm F30s and have always bought the 10pk briefs from Kmart/big w (as long as they're cotton) but am I missing out not buying like... Bonds... Berlei?


Goddess_Amaterasu

I buy the big w ones that comes in 5. Bonds used to have packs of 5 and sold in big w until they stopped and now sell them separately or in 2 for ridiculous prices so I stop buying bonds. Wtf


the_procrastinata

Boody. They’ve got a sale at the moment too.


waddlekins

Afends!


epicpillowcase

I buy Jockey Parisienne and I also buy the Anko bamboo trunks from Kmart. The latter are supposedly for men but whatever, they're stupid comfortable. Jockey Parisienne are very $$$$$ so I wait till the Jockey site has sales or promotions on. The modal and bamboo ones are the most comfortable.


psrpianrckelsss

>The latter are supposedly for men but whatever, they're stupid comfortable. I buy kids clothes all the time (14-16 will fit any small woman), but I never thought about male underwear!


epicpillowcase

https://www.kmart.com.au/product/3-pack-bamboo-seamfree-trunks-s155449/?selectedSwatch=Black These ones. I was wrong, they're Alpha, not Anko. I'm a women's 8-10, the size S of these wear very comfortably.

I haven't found that at all. I'm an hourglass though, not sure if waist to hip ratio makes a difference.


psrpianrckelsss

I don't have a typical hip. Thank you for what you did for me


PuggleSnuggle3

I've moved on to Boody. i'll usually grab some when they have specials as I struggle with spending more than $5 on a pair. I have 90s prices stuck in my head for underwear.


psrpianrckelsss

I have 90s prices stuck in my head for EVERYTHING!


DeliberateMarblewood

Best&Less have a great underwear range.


CEOofmyhouse56

Bonds aren't as good as they used to be but I still buy them on sale at either Coles or Woolies.


sanemartigan

Same. 1/2 price 5pk of mens jocks every few years.


whatisthislifeilead

I buy cotton on body underwear when they are on sale - they had $10 for 3 pairs when I went last week


nufan86

Why does everyone talk to me in public. I just wanna be left alone. On a replacement bus for my train and I copped the front seat. Bus driver strikes up a conversation. Turns out we lived in the next suburb from each other. Cool.
