If I hadn't realised sea rocks are really nice to look at and can prop up a clothesline and a birdbath I'd have more of them.
If I hadn't have made the decision to go against my ex, and go get beers with my coworkers, I would never have left them at all. My one small rebellion against his insecurities and desire to control everything I do, led me to breaking up with them that very night (late October 2018).
two that I can think of
when my FIL said something so batshit insane I realised that moment he and the rest of the fam were in a cult
and then much later doing CBT when my doc showed me that the people i thought cared for me had never done a nice or kind or supportive thing ever ( I am lucky I am past that , I have the seagoons now ๐ )
If I hadn't decided to tell my house mate the truth about my drug use, he never would have told me he believed in me, which was the catalyst to getting where I am now.
Tonight's wave:
Wow, that is stunning!!
Beautiful colour. ๐
Cheers, all!!
I'm 3 cocktails in, on my 4th, about to see Obsession. Cheers!
Can't wait to hear what you think of it!!
Also what cocktails did you have and what was your favourite and why?
Ooooh I had an Aperol spritz, a Montenegro Sour (both from De Bepi bar), and a Whiskey something haha (at the Brunswick Picture House), and two venom cherry sours at a small local.

Bear is the antagonist, he was an absolute fucking cunt, incel, coward, and no one can convince me otherwise. He fucked Real Nikki up so bad and she's fucked for the rest of her life because of him and his incel cowardice
My partner is pissed at Bear too lol so I know I bagged myself a good dude haha
On my way home from a work social event at Prison Island in docklands, pretty cool set up they have! Kinda like a whole bunch of mini escape rooms but with a good mix of stuff not just same old puzzles. Some physical stuff mixed in
Oh I hadn't heard of Prison Island before!! Is it kinda like a VR sim but with more teamwork built in? Or more towards an escape room? I've heard about VR zombie Shooters popping up but they scare me.
More escape room than that. But it has things like that big floor with changing coloured squares you have to dodge the red ones and stomp on the green ones
What a vibe.
You know it
You can hear the Mazzy Star influence but her voice is so different.
Work inbox down to 7 emails. To dos done. No work this weekend.
What is this life? Cheers kiddies ๐ธ
Alright. What a fucking week.
Now I need to find something to do tomorrow night that's cheap.
Open to suggestions if anyone has any.
Theoretically you were coming to mine to whoop Racer's butt at MarioKart...
Sweet. I'll be there :)
This is supposed to be a de-stressing activity not a territory war
They don't look very helpful
I'm sure their opinion differs
They are helping in the way that cats help.

Left just tried to eat a Tauntaun, TheVoid has taken out a lien on the brain cell
One on the left is confused by your choices, the black one is pitying you.
Bird baff is IN
Much easier and less ibuprofen than moving the fukn clothesline that's for sure.
Truth be told they won't use it lol.
Idea is to do a little simple path to it and plant some things around it.
If you keep it clean and full, they'll use it. Assuming you don't have cats or something.
My credit card balance and my own calculations are not agreeing with each other. Looks like line by line analysis will be required. I think that can wait until tomorrow though, I'm far too busy digesting lunch for that sort of nonsense now.
i kid you not, I think we've had some snow here, very fine, melts before it hits the ground
How long does it take a tax return to process usually?
1 to 2 weeks.
Woke up from an anthology style dream about three different villages/cultures and how they each dealt with death. What the actual fuck dream. Quickly jotted them down, will write them out later me thinkies because it was actually next level insane for my brain.
My dream was about watches. I looked down and I had on a man's watch and it was upside down and too big. It was crucial I read the time so I had to find clues that would locate a watch I could read. It was like a treasure hunt. Very deep.
Did you find the watch you could read in the end?
I dreamed I was in New York and went to the Mercury Theater, the famous one, it was old fashioned and very beautiful. I was excited to tell mr seagoon all about it
of course it doesn't exist irl, it's the name of a famous troupe/theater company.
The traffic gods were with me today. Ballarat to Burwood, 2 hours door to door. At work 45 mins early!

Happy Friday :)
Moving stuff to this NAS feels like I'm getting my whole life organised. I have files spread all over the place, especially because of computers that dualboot or saving everything when I've switched distros.
I'll have files from an old computer saved on a drive, but it will all just be in a folder called 'old computer' and I never got around to folding it back into the nee file system.
And I swear I've downloaded the Metroid Prime trilogy like 3 times across different computers and OSs in anticiaption of playing it. Now it can live in one spot until I'm ready
Synology?
Yeah, just a cheap 2-bay D233 or something. I know people have had issues with them recently but setup was so easy
