Melbourne

Donating every piece of clothing I just bought because despite being the ‘right’ size it actually sucks.

Socks that are so tight in the ribbing they strangle my ankles. Bra with straps I can’t tighten enough to keep them from slipping off. Trackies that are waist high with wide tight/rigid elastic that feels like it’s squeezing my stomach despite fitting exactly/slightly loose, and an excessively baggy arse.

What the hell Kmart? That was a complete waste of money because despite shelling out I still don’t have what I needed.

Now I have to wait until I can get support to go shopping and see what I’m getting.

Interesting time to take a nap is it back on yet?

Put your lights on - Santana & Evertlast

I think I prefer this version of the song that's on repeat in my house - kidcalhoon2 would freaking love it, kidcalhoon1 not so much

Plotting outfit for ‘Bad Taste’ birthday party tomorrow. Currently all hot pink leopard print and safety vest orange. I do have some orange makeup, but it’s super itchy…

Okay, my final fancy purchase (I promise)

I got a second hand Sony speaker in pretty good condition for 30 bucks (an sbx-xrb-31 or something like that - Sony uses stupid names). It's an absolute hoot. It has LEDs and features a "rave mode"

Seriously:

A friend of mine asked the groupchat for a 'nostalgic' pizza place. We figured out he meant a good bad pizza, not the Pizza Hut buffet from days of yore.

It got me thinking about good takeaway pizza places where the pizza isn't fancy but it still hits the spot. Fairfield Pizza is great, I could get two large pizzas and a garlic bread for $20 back in the day. Original Sinners in Macleod is up there as well. There's a place near me called Romulus Pizza, it's a bit more fancy but still takeaway. Probably one of the best takeaway places I've ever gone to, they make their own dough and you can feel the difference.

I watched the start of the most absurdly hilarious movie last night. It's called Hundreds of Beavers and the first 30 minutes is basically a Wile E Coyote skit. My god, I was losing it.

I hope the rest of it is just as good.

So question: when you have to rate something that doesn't apply, do you give it a 5 or 3 star? eBay always asks me to rate seller communication, which is almost never relevant. They mark it as posted, and that's generally the extent of the "communication". I have been marking that as 3 stars, but I was thinking, that probably brings down their averages, right? I'd be annoyed if my feedback rate went from 100 to 99.97% because someone thought something was irrelevant.

Seems like a bit of a disconnect between how I issue ratings and how I take ratings into account. All this online review stuff seems to have skewed the bare minimum rating from a 3. i.e I probably wouldn't consider a shop or seller that's only rated 3 stars, even though in my mind, 3 stars means neutral, when it comes to reviews, 3 stars seems bad

I braved it to the city today and back with a mask on the whole time. The most weird thing has had to happen at the end. Tram driver swapped over at Barkers Rd and the new driver was saying things to himself while setting up, like "adjusting my seat" and "reaching out for the mirror" and I thought it was some cool.OH&S thing like the train drivers pointing and naming things in Japan.

Then he started mumbling to himself... "they said it was going to rain but it didn't..." "look at how bright those lights are"... and he had this really sullen, angsty young look about him... and before I could hear what else he had to say I had to get off.

Where is the rain though, it's been blowing plenty but not very wet. Not that I'm complaining
