Can't sleep. The dream gremlins are holding me hostage

We are making good use of the surplus population of dream gremlins. Any suggestions for other suitable uses?

Thank you chef. I pity those who insist on over cooked dream gremlins

Good morning Lady of the Sea Goon.

I travel a fair bit and mostly have it down. But I will never get over the existential crisis of carry-on only or small checked luggage. My inner competive gremlin wants to see how small I can go, and my middle aged bones want an extra comfy jumper even though I'm only going for three days. Thank you for your attention to today's first world problem....

Cant get up, cery need schnoogles

I woke up to Alfie chewing on my uggs. Cats, man.

[โ€“] Alamutjones@aussie.zone 0 points 1 week ago

I have like, five jobs to do today...and I've been summoned to look at yet more apartments.

It's like my folks don't realise what I do on my day off

[โ€“] tombruzzo@aussie.zone 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Bandcamp Friday this Friday. It doesn't actually kick in until US time so that should be 5pm, which gives you most of Saturday to buy stuff. It's just a nightmare for me because if I have something on that evening then dealing with the kids during the day I don't get a chance to buy anything. Bandcamp don't make it easy to just preload albums in your cart to buy either. I'll try to be ready this time, I want to use my mp3 player more and there's shit I can't get through 'other' means

[โ€“] Taleya@aussie.zone 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Awesome, new Pulp live album dropped

[โ€“] tombruzzo@aussie.zone 0 points 1 week ago

One to add to the list. it's surprising which bands are on there. Bands you'd think are too big for Bandcamp are pretty active on the site

I am an idiot for actually heading into work and starting work before calling in sick. Alas, I am now home with some snacks for the dream gremlins and I shall be relaxing all day playing games and sleeping early before I try again tomorrow

I have achieved a tech repair, Dad's father's day present and putting in for GF tickets

I made bacon and cheese garlic bread and they were so good.

[โ€“] SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That looks fucking amazing. YUMMMMM. What kinda cheese did you use?!

Pizza cheese.

What's everyone up to tonight? I've showered and washed my hair (scheduling was required for this one!) and now I'm ready for chicken wraps dinner, some Infinity Nikki gaming and hopefully a good nights sleep.

Stopped by Dan's earlier and found a bottle of "mango sauvignon blanc". It's... exactly what you'd think. Also got a bottle of Mullet hard sparkling wine, so that should make this weekend interesting.

[โ€“] imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I have flown to another realm (well the ACT...which is another realm in many ways). Hot shower. Apple for dinner. Ready for bed - early start tomorrow

[โ€“] SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Just an apple?! I hope you have an excllent breakfast, brunch or lunch or just any meal lined up for tomorrow! Sleep well tonight - hope you took that comfy jumper!!

[โ€“] imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I had a big late lunch! And yep I have an early morning cafe walk planned.

[โ€“] SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 0 points 1 week ago

Please share your breakfast!

[โ€“] TheWitchofThornbury2@aussie.zone 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Dinner is lamburgers smooshed up with chopped veg microwaved cos I'm a savage. Have dribbled a bit of hot sauce over the mix - it's tasty but not aesthetic. Box of plonk to go with (not the whole box cos I'm not a savage).

[โ€“] SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Nothing wrong with being a savage!! We had meatballs and pasta last night, maybe hotsauce would have saved what was an otherwise "eh" meal. Even sitting overnight didn't save it, but cheese and black garlic salt sure as heck helped!

I made breakfast and watched The Quiet Earth(1985) A post-apocalyptic science fiction film from New Zealand.

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yes it wasnโ€™t bad at all.

[โ€“] SituationCake@aussie.zone 0 points 1 week ago

Dinner was steak, mushrooms, green beans and mash. Called a friend to organise a weekend catch up. Watched a bit of tv and am now in bed.
