Goddamit cat, you had to lick the last TimTam. You're supposed to be on a diet! Oh well, I have sour snakes now for my sugar hit snack.

This is gross, but if it was the last timtam and just a lick, I’d probably wash it and eat it anyway. Or else cut that bit off.

At the emergency vet near me and damn this place is swanky, looks like an actual people hospital.

Ok ok ok why do people lay their houses out differently to mine? 😭😭 I can't find the bloody toaster! (/J but fr I seriously can't find the toaster and nobody else is home)

There are some savages out there who, believe it or not, put their toasters AWAY in a CUPBOARD, EVERY SINGLE TIME after they use it. I have resolved that I will never again share a house with such a demented person if I ever have a choice about it

🖐️ Owning up to savagery here. Although mine goes in a drawer. As does my kettle.

That is no way to live. Putting toasters away, pfft! Do they also iron their underwear?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

They live amongst us, having no hand soap in the kitchen because "you should only wash your hands in the bathroom". Unsettling.

If you dont locate a toaster
Slap those slices under the grill
Watch and turn them, don't roast-em
Hope that helps you get your fill

Ok. Movie time again. Need to start now or it’ll get too late.

Rurouni Kenshin: The final.

I really like the Kenshin Live action movies.

The Sweeney Todd Broadway soundtrack has been a fun accompaniment this morning

Fighting a new brand of ink. Watered down it looks grey and even when the ink is thinned the brush doesn't spring back into shape after use. That's a no for that ink.

The metallic paint can't be thinned down, the brush "strains" it, so at the start of a brush stroke the ink is thick and dark , by the end it's watery and grey. Looks grey even with added india ink. Nice sparkles tho.

Looks like Daiso ink for the win.

Two minute noodles with additives for dinner. I used the last of my high-protein noodle packs. I don't think they are quite as nice as standard noodles, but they are pretty close.

One Lindt chocolate ball is on the cards for desert. I really miss the days of my youth when I could eat endless amounts of chocolate and sweets, these days supply must be limited ☹️ But limited chocolate is still an improvement on dieting mode no chocolate.

No trams running on Collins St this morning sucked all of the hairy balls. I made bad decisions trying to get to Collins/Exhibition (work) and ended up having to walk uphill from Fitzroy Gardens. Rolled the dice on a strategy and lost.

My brain crossed your user name into this and I thought for second you were saying there were no bulls running on Collins Street this morning. That did not seem like it should be an unusual situation.
