Where is this big moon that everyone keeps talking about?

Brunswick Sardines at Woolies are discounted this week from 2.90 to 2.35 if that takes your fancy.

What do you think about asking on online retailer to refund a portion of your order if they put the products you bought on sale just a couple days later?

Bit cheeky to ask? Or fair enough?

Sit.rep.: Sammi hopped off and the rain held off so I did a Coles dash. So that's done.
Now on the couch with Zooki on my shoulder.

This is the exact recording I just bought! This is just incredible https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wDai9s4Hmc be sure to click for subtitles

my heart really is with Russian people, I hope they can truly get rid of despots

( thank you for attending today's history lesson )

I'm trying to get on to Whitehorse Music but they don't seem to ever answer their phone. Can anyone recommend a string instrument shop in the inner north-ish area? Need to get a violin restrung as a viola.

God I wish this flu/cold would bugger off. Meant to be meeting clients rest of the week and I sound like I've been smoking a pack every 20 mins for the last 10 years.

Vietnamese street food. Yum

Debating whether or not to do a Coles run, just nip up to the corner Foodworks for a couple of things or just put it off until tomorrow.
It doesn't help that Sammi keeps clamping herself to my legs.

🎼🎶Whichever console you play
No matter how many hours a day
I could win at any game
Whether your a boy or a girl or a super computer
It's often said
I should get some girly hobbies instead
But that thought fills me with dread
I'm not into sewing, baking, dress-making
Not eating, bitching, submitting🎶🎶🎶

brrr, it's oodie time

oh M3GAN's good

It's going to be funny by me saying this as I not only play games but I also write for an online publication about video games. But the fact that there are some games out there asking for more money just so you can... what, play 6 days earlier is asinine!

Partner asked if I pre-loaded Starfield and I said yes, I'm so keen for this game of course, I'm going to preload it. But it's on Xbox Game Pass (PC) where it's "free"-ish (I mean I'm spending $10 a month so it's not entirely free but it's not like I'm shelling out $100 for a new game), found out that if you buy the deluxe version you can play the game this Friday instead of next Wednesday. Looked up the cost and it's $170 for the "deluxe" version, whereas the standard edition is $120. I am not shelling out $170 just to play a game 5 days earlier. But not only that, but Jesus Christ video games are expensive. I totally get the fact that their pricing hasn't really changed and that it used to be $80 in the 90s and that was expensive. But wages haven't really gone up, we're in a cost of living crisis, still dealing with the pandemic, etc. The fact that it's even an option to pay $170 to play a video game 5 days before it "officially" comes out is just... I cannot believe it, but it's not really shocking in the grand scheme of things.

Just... ugh. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

Listening to the Hunting Warhead podcast I'm so close to tears many times.
