Things Misha has yelled at me about today

  • I opened the curtain and disrupted her warm nest of sun and insulation. Ok that one's fair

  • There was a big stinky turd in the litter box. It was hers. She'd just laid it. And while I was cleaning up that litter box she went and dropped another one in the OTHER litterbox because we have more than one cat so of course we have more than one freakin' litterbox.

  • There was a turd in the other litterbox

  • While she was yelling at me about the turd situation Cerys climbed up on the sun-drenched dining room table. The entire table is in front of a north facing window and is sun drenched. It is six feet long. They are two foot cats.

  • I attempted to use logic at her re the whole dining room table usurpation.

  • Cerys continues to exist. A cat she has co-habited with since 2012. A cat who literally came out of her. A cat who only exists because she decided to get railed on the hood of our old datsun. This is my fault.

  • I slid her across the polished floorboards like a fat beige hockey puck. I regret nothing.

I feel like Misha is perhaps the cat equivalent of a cranky chain-smoking nonna who is pissed off at the world (life is too hard and nobody understands), and at her son for still living off Centrelink (back in the 90s).

Misha sounds like such a fun character to live with ๐Ÿ˜†

Sounds like her and Alfie are kindred spirits!

I ordered some retro handhelds for the boys to get on Christmas shopping early. I got the R36s because I found it cheap and I'm pretty impressed.

Buttons feel good, it uses Emudeck on the frontend so everything looks nice, and they even shipped with Stardew Valley on the SD card. It boots up, takes a while to load but it boots up. I know one of my boys in particular is going to love this once they get them

back from beach. I am wrecked. It was a long walk and over some difficult rocks to get to the shelly beach but it was AWESOME

I am going to crash now and will post some pics for you all later ๐Ÿ˜˜

Ded.

Van is packed to the gills, nature strip is 100% hard rubbish and I'm just waiting on the fridge and freezer being picked up so I can go home.

I declare tomorrow a day of rest.

So I'm finally done with the uni stuff for two weeks. I will have to find out what's going to happen with the failed subjects. Might have to go to uni for an extra year which I'm not loving, but I feel like this is the only way for career progression, unless I do a trade. That's unfortunately not happening because I'm not very mechanically gifted. But I'm going to stop worrying about what my life will be like in ten years time because I will trust that whatever happens, happens.

We all know serving sizes are a lie. Here's another one. You're browsing the hair dye aisle because you have more grey than actual colour these days and it takes you awhile before you finally make a hopefully rightful choice. End result is NEVER what is indicated on the box.

What are some other lies we are told?

How big the chip packet is compared to how many chips there actually are.

The size of Ice creams are laughable too now.

I switched to cheese cake and haven't looked back

The look on people's faces (in commercials) when they get into a new car.

Sure it's cool, but not euphoric.

[โ€“] anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 6 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Thatโ€™s the same as โ€˜people eating saladโ€™ face in ads

I've gotten into new cars and my first reaction is puzzlement. What the fuck are all these buttons for.

The Twelve Apostles along the great ocean road is an egregious lie. I demand a refund.

How good a maccas burger looks on tv and how big it is but in reality they're super small.

Also the perfect basket of french fries.

Nope, didn't get that either.

I've been fighting a sore throat so I got day drunk on hot toddies and naps thus am now wide awake. Throat feels great though. I've got a lunch catch up that I hope I get enough sleep for.

YL dyed my hair. I think it's gone nonna orange. I don't wanna look under the towel yet. Gonna need more than a couple of beers tonight.

Some purple toner or shampoo might help? Otherwise if it was bleached it might need another go to get the stubborn red tones

Oh dear. What did you use? Somethings you can go straight over the top of to correct, some need a bit of a break in between.

Now that it has dried it doesn't look to bad. I'm used to seeing grey.

[โ€“] melbaboutown@aussie.zone 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

There are some hair dyes that are better for grey hairs, because they can pick up colour differently and turn a bright or unexpected colour

I forget what they are though or how it works

[โ€“] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Its all good. This me on the box.

Urgh. I was really sick last night. Stupid stomach.

Melbcat seems a tiny bit uncomfortable again. Right as I was calling the vet to say she was feeling a bit better, but asking about the ibd flare possibility and dealing with it if this continues/comes back. Theyโ€™re so sick of me calling them though. I agreed to monitor and gave her something to help.

Edit: Ok she started crying again. Vet time!

Ps. I post a lot about Melbcat being sick, but overwhelmingly sheโ€™s happy and in good condition. Her chronic stuff is being managed, she just has a lot of annoying acute issues and I do fuss.

Art Of Rally is such a beautiful game. My only criticism is I wish it was better optimised and could run better on lower spec hardware. It doesn't look demanding, but I'm sure it's got a bunch of shaders going on that eat up processing power.

Because it's a game that deserves to be played at full settings, 4k60fps. I can do it on my big computer, but it would be great if others could experience full settings in this age of handhelds

I waited two weeks for this lamp I ordered from Bunnings. Then they tell me it's not made anymore and refunded me. Now I need to find a new lamp. I wanted that lamp
