            Käärijä - he came second place in Eurovision 2023 with this absolute banger Cha Cha Cha

            That’s how I found him, because I fkn love Eurovision, and ended up listening to his entire catalogue (an album, an EP, and some singles) and love him. I keep meaning to listen to something else, but I just cannot stop lol

            Edit: he should have won. It’s crazy, it’s party!

    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?

    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

    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

    Two stunning afternoons up in the hills and watched a House episode where a guy had his hand amputated.

    Man, I have never been more grateful for my hands. Like I felt so so so unbelievably overwhelmed with gratitude it was kind of surreal.

    Hope everyone has had an awesome weekend!

    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.

      Yep. Only I went to a girls only boarding school, so we had to practice with mops/brooms in lieu of real meat boys. It was an hour of practice after classes twice a week in year 11. Dances were waltz, foxtrot, cha cha and some old time folk dances like the Pride of Erin, Dashing White Sergeant and Waves of Bondi. The idea was to be able to do the ‘social’ dancing of our grandmothers’ generation. Rock&roll and disco were off the menu.

      Yeah dance was in the PE rotation. As was getting your bra strap snapped by sundry brats. Not fun.

        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.

    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

    TW blood

    Bloody got a blood nose on the bus. Nobody around. I carry a gigantic arse backpack around with me which contains everything I could ever need while on a trip, except, crucially, tissues…

    Managed to get it under control with a head tilt though, but my face and hands didn’t fare too well without tissues, and I probably looked like either a murderer, or a murderee. Ended up having to rip pieces off of a letter I forgot to take out of my bag and wet them with my water and use that to try and clean myself up a bit. Absolutely looked like a crackhead in the process, half surprised I didn’t get kicked off

    Finally got off at a train station and started trying to properly clean up and apparently bumped my nose a bit too much so the whole thing started again. No fucking toilet paper. Sink that’s permanently stuck on really hot for some reason. I heard a line forming and ended up hobbling down the stairs to the customer service desk while holding my nose and looking at the roof, and asked the PSOs for some tissues, they didn’t have any but said there was a better toilet down the end of that platform which did have toilet paper. Managed to get it under control but what a wild adventure. Also stole some toilet paper should my nose break on the way back

    No clue what caused it, it just decided to happen at the most inconvenient time possible🙃

    Edit: rewrote half my comment because Jesus Christ I wasn’t making any sense at all

    I have decided to try cutting out caffeine for a while. I’ve been reducing my intake for a couple of weeks, with the intention that after today I will not have any more. The temptation to have another coffee is very real.
