Mildly peeved that the bus driver blew right past the stop I was at, ignoring everyone who was waiting there. Had to wait half an hour for the next one.

But got some fudge, and found out that the brand I usually get shut up shop some months ago.

It's been one of those ripple days, where everything seems to be going up and down all at once.

Also anyone know any good place to look into getting a second hand bike (and a good place to ride in)? My current one is a bit knackered, and wondering whether it was worthwhile fixing it, or just replacing it completely.

I'm familiar with the bike shed at Ceres, but that's about it.

Busses are the vehicles of chaos, I love and hate them. The worst was the one from Glen Waverley to FTG/Rowville I used to take; it would go through Wheelers Hill along FTG Road down that huge fkn hill like a goddamn speed demon. It was like a fkn roller coaster, the bus driver would blow past the stop halfway down the hille everytime because they were going so fast.

I think about it and my heart starts beating real hard haha

I've spent all day inside resting with Puddington Bear. Feeling pretty ordinary and so is she. Both of us are going to the vet this week

Thanks. Hopefully we don't get mixed up and I don't get the cat flu shots

Hectic week is just over. I'm drop dead tired, will miss having people to check in with. But also glad to be back in my own space and participating in things from a distance rather than being expected to compete with the popular and the pretty. Also I'd be glad not to go into the cbd for a good month or so. I'm so over it

Maybe this a QLD school thing but does anyone remember having to learn to dance in high school? Like you'd learn the waltz and one other dance (mine was the cha cha) and then to pass you had to dance with the sports teacher (male teacher for the girls, female sport teacher for the boys).

Friend of mine just gave me a wild flashback to that part of my schooling, and adult me is thinking how fkn wild it was you had to get handsy with a teacher for a few minutes in the name of education.

That sounds hilarious. The only dance I learned in school PE was the nut bush.

God no. Didn't even do dance in high school.

[โ€“] bananafungus@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

It was a mandatory part of year 8/9 Phys Ed (usually somewhere in semester 1), you couldn't attend the mid-year school dance if you didn't pass.

Off to Prahan, just for one thing but it's like an hour each way. Good thing I remembered my earphones, would have been quite upset otherwise haha

I generally see every superhero movie on either the day it's released or even the night before if that's available (yes even Morbius), but I think I might just not go see Madame Web. It's not like I don't have the time or the money. I just don't have the urge. I think there might be something about Dakota Johnson which just rubs me the wrong way. That and after watching the trailer I feel like I can put the pieces of the movie together myself.

Has anyone here seen it and care to give non-spoilery thoughts?

The trailer put me off in a big way. I think it's going to become another meme.

Ended up making the trip in with my kids to listen from the park. Was worth it (kids thought it was awesome) - I'd say probably 15k people outside....

And this guy - just grooving from the back
