There’s a right to disconnect law now. You don’t have to acknowledge work related requests on days off. (Unless explicitly agreed in a contract I guess)
Never ended up taking that nap, just been idly existing all day.
Been playing Brotato as well, that's all I've done. Tomorrow I will catch up on the recording for the theory classes I missed when I was doing first aid.
I had a really nice chat with my classmates on Thursday and Friday, and one in particular we both just wandered around campus at lunch talking. Old me would have balked at being so social and open, but I'm so glad to be who I am now that I find great happiness in talking to others who I don't know well.
Edit: istg if that squeaking starts up again tonight I'm gonna throw everything off my balcony into the alley. I hate that I couldn't figure out what it was, and it stopped when the wind died down. Fucker.
Yeah I'm really really enjoying Brotato. I get it with the Google play pass. It's really fun, flash-like Rogue like. Guns and items and synergy and a bullet hell that's doable.
No rusty windows or doors that would do that, apartments and sliding doors, and sliding safety windows (only slide open approx 10cm). It's something on my balcony or a neighbours. But it hasn't done it all day, so maybe I'm just going crazy
Glorious day, crisper drawer stew with chicken wings in the slow cooker for tonight and tomorrow's lunch, glass of cold white whine in hand, laundry all done including household linens, nice music on the music machine. Nowt to do but eat, drink and be merry. Life is good.
Currently looking for mango recipes that aren't jam.. was going to make chutney but have found myself mysteriously lacking in ingredients for it 😒Too lazy to go out and get stuff. Might just freeze it until I get some vinegar and spices tomorrow. Got my heart set on chutney to go with chicken curry.
I ended up making mango chicken and it is awesome. My link isn't working but it's in CEO's dinner post and my response to Duenan below. Might do the jam and chutney after work tomorrow or Tuesday. I'd like to make it mango and strawberry jam but Miniest says no.
Kitchen, clothes, lounge done, bins done. And I did a lecture for a course I'm doing. And spag Bol just started. Need to do another pass over the floors but I am WFH tomorrow so might call it a day.
I'm also nervous about what comes after the election. It's pretty clear that Trump and his supporters won't accept losing and will do everything they can to overthrow the results, so whoever wins there will be trouble. And trouble in US flows over into trouble for the rest of the world.
Me too, for the same reasons Raven said. They call everything that's against them rigged or fake, and it makes them basically write their own narrative no matter how crazy and screw everyone who disagrees 🤦🏼♀️
Shitty day yesterday. slow start but now I am here. Kitchen looks like a bomb hit it and bits dumped everywhere (geez I can wreck a joint when black dog gets me for a couple of days).
But sun is out and mood is up. Gonna wander to the local for coffee and toastie then back for a clean up.
I am working mon/Tues so this can be my long weekend treat.
I watched The World's End. Ummm surprisingly I liked it. I didn't understand it but I still liked it. It's the closest I'm gonna get to nerd. I'm still dazed and unpacking.
I watched the other two Pegg movies this weekend. They are entertaining. 👍Hot Fuzz was like this incredible mash up of Wicker Man and modern action movie sequences
We went to the Kaiga Convention today. It's like a dedicated artists alley you get at other conventions. It was good if that's more your thing, and there's a similar market in December.
The weirdest thing is it was at the Crown Convention Centre, the only time I've been there is for a boring B2B conference. It was jarring setting the same room for corporate shit filled with anime artists
Come prepared in your mind , have anecdotes you want to share and stories to bring your friend up to date with what is going on in your life rehearsed in your mind and ready.
How is it it can take me many many watches to actually get all a plot?
Ben Hur. 1959. This movie is long and spectacular. You can see it's made with a lot of care to costuming and sets. Many of the scenes look familiar because they have been copied so much since but this movie did it first and best. The dialogue is also so good.
I would say this movie was made with love and respect for the subject
four hobbits. I think I will buy a book about this movie.
Honest Thief. Cute love/action/cop movie with Liam Neeson.
four hobbits because i have a soft spot for guys in love
The Ben Hur chariot race sequence always gets me - the horses start off the race then get sweaty and magically unsweat themselves at intervals throughout the sequence. Then they get sweaty again, and then unsweaty. I did an analysis of it once based in what I knew then about horse physiology - and reckoned they filmed all the walk & trot sequences AFTER all the galloping bits going by the sun angles. Over at least a couple of days - as the charioteers swap around and drive different horses in different chariots for different bits of the race. Always cracks me up to watch it.
they are such beautiful well trained horses and a joy to watch
"Due to the extremely hot weather in Rome, the horses were allowed to run around the track eight times per day. Cannutt’s careful method was aimed at teaching horses how to run as a unit and tolerate eventual crashes between them, without causing any damage. And while some of the actors or extras suffered minor injuries while filming, it is worth noting that no horse was damaged in the shooting of the impressive scene that even today, over 60 years later, still gives viewers goosebumps.
The shooting of the chariot race scene took five weeks. In order to follow the horses closely, cameras were placed on top of Italian cars.
The splendid horses seen in the movie were mostly Andalusian and Lipizzans, and were brought from Yugoslavia and Sicilia. The whole film featured around 2,500 horses, and all of them had carers, trainers, veterinarians, and stable boys, among other requirements. The four beautiful white horses – the Andalusians – that were given to Ben Hur by Ilderim, were named after stars in Arabic – Aldebaran, Altair, Rigel and Antares, all foals of the lovely mare Mira. Even Ben Hur was impressed by the charm of these horses."
Lips make sense in that context. For 'hot blooded' horses they are very level headed and trainable. Also about the right size and type to be plausible as the Nisaian horses that the Romans just loved for chariot racing. I've seen the stadium or what's left of it at Arles, and yes it's tiny compared even to Moonee Valley racetrack.
I must've been lucky or just extremely tired, I didn't hear anything at all and slept right through (though I frustratingly have woken up automatically around 7, I wanted to sleep in!)
Indeed it is, thankfully! 🙌🏼 I'll have to go food shopping, but that is an evening problem. In the meantime I intend on playing Brotato and taking a catnap at some point 😺😸

Finally got round to watching evangelion 3+1 last night. Terrible. But as far as all the batshit endings evangelion ever got it wasn’t the worst.
But still, about 20 minutes of Eva shit in the whole movie.

Ooo, I have not been brave enough.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone · 2 pts · 1y
I loved 1 and 2! I heard 3 was not worth it at all, and sadly 4 was…. Meh.
The longer they go on the less about the Eva’s it became.

Is this the one with all the paper cut out people near the end?
TinyBreak@aussie.zone · 3 pts · 1y
Nah the end I think the Eva’s turn into people? And 13 fights 1? But like 1 appears from the corpses of 2? I don’t get it like at all, but the. It’s on brand for a evangelion ending hey.

Bathroom clean. Bedroom clean. Washing in machine. Plants watered and generally talked to.
Kitchen next so I can get some food prep done. Then floors and a quick straighten of the living room.
