Pretty tired. I think the weather is effecting me (raining a lot today).
Just in bed watching tv and resting. And browsing.
Actually pretty good cozy day lol.
A/C broke last night but it was under warranty so I just had to pay $200 to fix it today and not Monday.
Making some braised beef short ribs with turnips, carrots, and pearl onions in my homemade tomato sauce on my grill.
Got all the floors cleaned, too.
Any ideas for a movie tonight?
I can't recommend 'The Unbearable Weight Of Massive Talent' highly enough. Or 'Hundreds Of Beavers' for even more sheer lunacy.
Personal funtime movie recommendations:
Adrenaline Nitro Racing:
Magical Escapism:
Stupid Silly Fun:
Since I’ve watched Spirited Away in the last three months I’ll go with Daniel Radcliffe’s greatest role since he had guns bolted to his hands.
And then Redline because _that’s _ podracing
ETA: So far Swiss Army Man is awesome. Lots of fart jokes.
Unusually active for me. Bought a new couch. Got my cracked phone screen repaired. Finished patching a hole in my wall (don't ask). Spent a lovely afternoon discovering new music on the music@lemmy.world community - Snapped Ankles are amazing.
I visited a gun range with my brand new air rifle and scope yesterday.
First time that I've ever shot at one, although I did visit another one a few weeks ago to get the "flow" of how they work.
I'm an utter noob, and I didn't manage to hit the paper at 25 yards lol!
Going good. I found time for a nice gravel bike ride today, around a nearby lake.
Ended up with a Switch 2 for free due to a shipping error so pretty damn awesome.
Pretty good so far. I'm going to a club tonight with my girlfriend and meeting some friends.
My Saturday was like: cooking a batch of coxinhas, watching anime, downloading + subtitling the first season of Midnight Diners for my mum, RNG manipulating Emerald in an emulator for a shiny Swablu... I do have some work to do, but it's a few hours worth, and I can send it Monday evening so it's everything fine.
I'll probably buy a bottle of vodka tomorrow and make some "rangpurcello" - a neighbour gifted me a whole kilo of the fruit, might as well use the skins. (I typically freeze the juice.)
It’s going great! Went to a retro game convention and got a plushie, and found 2 games I’ve wanted for years at a great price (for what they usually sell for). Gonna see my friends tomorrow and do a day trip as well.
July is usually a good month. Do you have any fun plans in particular or just going with the flow?
Ayyy nice! Hanging out with friends is always a good time🤗 Doing the same myself tomorrow🥳
Do you have any fun plans in particular or just going with the flow?
I mostly go with the flow but I try to plan things in advance so that I always have something fun or interesting to look forward to!~
