Melbourne

With the help of a friend who re-did my resume, and their insistence. I've applied for my dream job whose applications closed today. I wouldn't have done it without their help. Thank you friend.

I'm not quite as morose after a good night's sleep and a good breakfast. My ears are still not popped though. Tried the Valsalva manoeuvre, swallowing water, sucking on a lolly and using steam but no dice...

E: the cat has trapped me so I guess I'll just be stuck here for a while.

I have decided that what I really want to eat right now is a parmigana lasagne. Layers of chicken schnitzel, with tomato sauce, ham and cheese between them, topped with bechemal sauce, sprinkled with cheese and baked until golden. Obviously to be served with lots of perfectly hot and crispy chips.

Had a first date with a really lovely girl this weekend.

We both had fun and she made sure to tell me so and spoke about catching up again in the future a few times.

I waited a day to ask if she wanted to hang out next weekend and she says that she’s super busy that weekend, sorry. No suggestion of when she might be free or anything.

Am I reading too much into it thinking maybe she’s not interested? I just took what she said at face value and went with it but part of me wonders if she’s just not interested but wants to be polite.

Any suggestions? I don’t want to come across as needy or anything like that.

weight loss is slowly but surely happening, further, if I stop all consumption of bad sugars like sorbitol I'll probably deflate like a balloon 💨 😂 which means my jeans will fit better 👍

So it's going to be 27 degrees on the weekend? Fuck me barely out of winter!

Apparently it's not that much of a PITA if your hair is neat and your walls are perfectly white. I did use a passport app, but going with an Australian passport size it just kept whinging about it not being large enough, so I went with a Singapore sized passport photo because apparently they like really large passport photos if you apply online. Anywho after it tantrummed a few more times about croppings and what not, I finally made it work. And after 5 hours of effort, they approved it in all of 5 minutes

I'm not even joking...

The day has just started and the tram is already 20min late . How is this even possible ?! 🤯

So my 7 year old randomly said to me earlier it'd be much cooler if you did - cue stupid goggles from me that she didn't understand.

"Hot" I say, convictionless, to my reflection
That I'm winning the battle against self-rejection.
This body's not mine, it's just plain and average.
I'm just a mind, soaked in alcoholic beverage.
From between my seams, loose threads, and stuffing
Spills free my dreams, force smiles, I'm only bluffing.
The Sunday Blues have got me down hard and fast,
Another coffee should help this anxiety last.

I caved and bought the mini jumbuk super cool quilt. Let's see if the product lives up to its hype.

One lorikeet in the tree was chasing another lorikeet and making dancing wing flaps and trying to hop on the other lorikeets back. Spring is in the air.

Post-dinner snack of cherry tomatoes, olive oil, and salt. Now my stomach is ACID AHHHHHHHHH

I have made a grievous error.

"regular or spicy, sir?"

Me, the idiot: "ooo spicy please!"

Hoi DT. We are in need of ideas for a fancy dress. The theme is wide ranging. Someone from 80s, 90s, 00s.

There are two teenage girls going who would like to be in theme together (as in a pair) e.g. Kurt Cobain/Courtney Love.

Edit: Dressing as male is not an issue, dressing as two female characters might be more comfortable.

Bear in mind they would need to be recognizable by kids the same age so nothing too esoteric

So just to recap

after

It did work to some degree but I still had to scrub bits off with a plastic spoon. I did actually take it outside to soak.

The second one I have is soaking in hot water with a cup of washing powder which is what I normally do but I'm leaving it overnight which I have never done. As ugly as it might look I'll be foiling them.

the echiums have decided it's spring

Don't be fooled by its beauty:

I haven't eaten all day who wants a hot dog.

I have really awful mustard and tomato sauce it'll be sprinkled with dried shallots and maybe adorned with jarlsberg. Probably going to put some tomato in too (proper tomato) it's half used and staring at me.

e: really good hot dog. Little crunchy onion things are now a thing.
