I am trying to space out my watching of the Bear season 3 but it's so hard. You know the show is good when it's a flashback episode, and you know it turns out ok, but you are still on the edge of your seat the whole time.

I'm partway through s3 e9 and I definitely found this season a lot more spaced out and chill than the past two seasons. It seems to be the reason it's not so popular either, but I like it. More slow-burn character exposรฉs and a great showcase of the acting talent, after the frenetic pace of the last two seasons. I've read that they filmed s4 at the same time so it tracks that they're taking longer with plot developments this time around.

Why am I so tired today??

You ever wonder if you're just tired a lot or if you're actually Stage 3 something or other and just haven't gone to the doctor? I think I might have hypochondria.

I've been listening to Chappell Roans album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess and I'm in love.

lovey mushy goo goo shiteMy partner came home from work last night and started playing Stellaris while listening to the album as well. He said we should go see her if she comes to Aus. He says one of the reasons he loves me is that I never judge him for liking Pop music, and I sing along with him to Call Me Maybe lol. He knows the lyrics better than I do.

I love my Pop Boi.

Gratitude thread!

Booked in for five hours of karaoke last night. I think in the last hour, I sang one song. But it was really nice to spend time with friends who I can be myself around and have fun with :) they accept my weirdness!

(Is that not the point of friendship? Some people I feel like I have to mask around more than others)

I'm also grateful for reading the responses to these threads! :)

Grateful to have been paid and can take the cat to the vet this week for his vaccinations and a checkup for his bile vomit.

Grateful for the cat, he's the best thing to have happened to me.

Grateful for my partner supporting me and Mickey, for all our faults.

Grateful I got WFH approved tomorrow to take the edge off everything I gotta do this week! And grateful to weekend me for meal prepping enough to last me til Thursday ๐Ÿ‘

We sang all kinds of things! Mostly pop, rock and a hint of musical theatre. Friend also added the Star Spangled Banner and made it scream-o.

I am grateful for salt, making life delicious. Some lovely sunshine, learning new things, and my bossy cat.

Today, I heard someone refer to a flannel shirt as a โ€œwestern shirtโ€..I had not heard that one before.

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 5 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I grew up hearing "western shirt", another term was a Miller Shirt as that was the popular brand. But then it had to have pearl snaps. I expect flannel shirts have buttons.

it's sunny here so it's off to the park to catch some rays

[โ€“] SituationCake@aussie.zone 5 points 1 year ago (10 children)

3 degrees here. Cold air was very sharp taking the rubbish out. I think itโ€™s gonna get colder than the predicted low overnight. Be prepared for a very frost morning.

Hi all. If you pay for Parcel Post online but don't have a printer, can you go to the PO and get them to print it out for you?

[โ€“] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I know they get a lot of hate, but I actually like the new short Coles paper bags. They have about the same effective carrying capacity (unless you are buying something really light like a bulk purchase of marshmallows) but are much less likely to end up torn. They also seem more stable, things don't end up rolling around inside the bag as much. The larger bags almost always ended up torn during delivery when they had cans of cat food and similar in them, it hasn't happened once with the shorter ones.
