It’s 2003 and you can only have 3 cds in your car. What are they?
Supertramp - The Very Best of
Talking Heads - Once in A Lifetime The Best of
Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of Thr Moon
It would have been mum’s car, because I was 11 in 2003. So it would have been:
Multiple Enya CDs
Multiple Celine Dion CDs
Paul Simon - Graceland (if dad was driving or mum was feeling gracious to my request lol)Every single week we play Paul Simon. Love him ♥
(I have to edit because I chose something too new )
the audibook of lotr
waiting for the sun- the doors
Best of Carpenters - Carpenters
I would choose different things next week
The Doors has a special place in my heart always. The Self titled album i used to play over and over as a teen. My ♥️
I love that one too. 😻
Tool - lateralus Rage against the machine - self titled nine inch nails - the downward spiral
Classic Queen (or gratest hits)
Offspring - Smash
Pearl Jam - Ten
Oh jes. I have all those albums. Ten tend to be a bit meh at the end but still a great album.
I picked Ten cause I sing all the songs. Stills banger 30 years on
Fun fact…I’m taking my son to see Pearl Jam in Nov for his first concert
We took our daughter to RHCP and she loved it. Hope your boy has the best time ever.
At $250 a pop he better have the time of his life…long walk home otherwise.
He loves Pearl and is psyched as…I’m getting there…
Evanescence - Fallen
The Corrs - The Corrs Unplugged
Nightwish - Once
Ohh yes The Corrs probably
I will carry Bad Religion to my grave 💅
Are you a 21st century digital boy?
That’s their worst song and my least favourite so no not really
Probably (and sadly) the only BR song I can name… damn
George - polyserena
Aqua - aquariumCan’t pick a third
😂
?
No third?
Just two copies of aqua aquarium
😂 fuck you make me laugh hard 😂
I’m not joking
Just for you we’ve played Barbie Girl ♥
Grinspoon - New Detention Foo Fighters - One by One And probably Triple J hottest 100 vol 7.
Knowing me at the time I would’ve had:
Regurgitator - unit
Radiohead - ok computer
Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory
Oh I forgot about ok computer. Why is it only 3? I had a CD stacker!!!
We had one of those CD book sleeve things with shitloads of CDs.
I may have become the queen of burning every cd so I had the original at home and copies in mine, my besties and my boyfornds cars.
Here’s to the hard drive 🍺
Same here! Gotta keep the little booklet things and covers nice, they cracked and broke so easily.
Great selection!
You are a cool mamma because my daughter says ok computer is the best album of all time.
Aww 😊 she wouldn’t think I was cool in one of my jazz moods, in which case I would’ve had:
John Coltrane - My Favourite Things
Miles Davis - Kind of Blue
The Dave Brubeck Quartet - Time Out
Dave Brubeck is the underrated jazz Goat
He totally is. I had to go and listen again after posting that, brilliant album.
We love jazz and blues so does she.
It wouldn’t matter what they were, my car in 2003 didn’t have a cd player.
I couldn’t even drive
Meeting to decide my future with my current workplace in 12 minutes, send me loads of positive vibes! I just need to not cry!
Edit: Good news is that I still have a job. I just need to be… a little less shit at it.
Good to hear and I know the feeling. I hope everything works out and they give you the support you need
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Slept in today up to midway and panicked thinking it was getting late.
Wooshed myself out to get a few errands done then back home for lunch and washing just finished.
I’ll be making a coffee after hanging the clothes up and putting my feet up for the rest of the day.
Phew. What a day already!
U earned it. Crack open a tin for me and enjoy a chill night
Already chilling. Just need to decide what to have for dinner.
Playing Just Cause 3 which I’ve never played before. It’s pretty fun just being able to wreck havok.
Going to be watching the AFL W tonight too.
Um, we’re having TWO Thursdays this week? Does that mean 2 paydays??? Please please let this be true. Or is this a fiendish plot to prevent our Friday overindulgences?
Two Thursdays is just unholy. When i am god i shall ban Thursdays altogether
So, you won’t be Thor then.
he can take wodin’s if he wants it so bad.
Yo dawg, I heard you like Thursdays…
I overindulge on Thursdays as well. places monocle
back from opshop and got a good haul of LPs. First up Yehudi Menuhin playing some beethoven
this is the same album on YT !! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjbORaxeqMQ
The Hummel record went in the bin, it is too scratched plus I hate the music.
The Melodya LP of Scheherazade by the Novosibirsk Orchestra is divine. here’s pic of the cover all in Russian
Day off work which meant errands and housekeeping.
Didn’t sit down to chill until like 2 pm with the new Star Wars Outlaws game…super fun but a tad clunky. Reminds me of the OG Watch dogs in a way.
Overall 8/10 day
-2 points for the old lady at medical clinic that insisted she be the first in line for a blood test. I was there early…took #1 and waited patiently. She was 3rd and was adamant I should give her the first slot.
Sorry sister. No dice.
My test took like 5 minutes tops and the nurse took me in early…so technically the old lady had hers like 5 past 9.
Anyway… bring on the weekend!!
I took a photo as I was packing up the puzzle carefully for the opshop. You can see I put it away still made up. There were ten panels like this. The picture was the painting “The Quarrel of Oberon and Titania”

Alas sleep was not had - I was finally drifting off when Zooks hopped up for snuggles and Feed Me, Bitch demands.
I’m doing the zombie shuffle at the moment so I’ll just take it easy today and try and get a nap in before tonight’s social thing.Biscuits done.
The chilling time before rolling out was a bit too long I think, the dough was a bit too hard initially. The embossed roller worked fairly well, but I could probably use some practice to get it a bit more even. I also played around with a bunch of different cutters so have a variety of biscuit shapes and sizes - I’ll pick the nicest looking to take to work tomorrow and the rest will be snacks for me.
I’m also taking advantage of the oven being hot to make pizza for dinner.
Semi chill, print, chill is the way with these I believe. Nice job though!
Jesus Christ.
Amen
I think he’s more of a wafer.
I preped ginger mice for latter decoration
What is going on here? I want to shower in everyone’s baked goods 👄🫦
I think that would hurt
Can hear all kinds of things banging and flapping in the wind. Sounds like someone’s gonna lose a bit of shed roof if this keeps up.
Bad news about the doors confirmed. They can’t temporarily install my old door handle or lock onto this new door because it doesn’t meet modern fire safety requirements. Apparently the new locks will be the same locks we had in Resi - a simple latch that can be very easily opened, and they’re going to place a metal plate over it to prevent people slipping cards or things to open the lock from the outside
I guess that’s a solution, but it feels like yet another step towards making the house feel exactly like the place I was at before. I guess on the bright side, I’m only 6 months away from turning 18. Once I do that, I can GTFO if I want, although practically I’m almost forced to stay for another 6-12 months until I can move elsewhere.
I suspect once the opportunity to book hotel rooms opens up, I’ll take a lot more spontaneous Mildura or Adelaide trips
Ikr. Apparently the requirements only apply to new installations. Interestingly though, they replaced my last deadbolt lock with the same type of deadbolt lock after the other kid had shoved a pair of scissors into my lock, and it didn’t silly then, despite the fact that that was put in the bin and replaced with a new lock
As I understand it though, the deadbolt locks aren’t the problem. The problem is that they often require a dual action (unlocking the lock then opening the door handle). Don’t ask me what they can’t just not install a door handle - they won’t elaborate. But that’s what I’ve been told
that is a great expressive pic
Love reading the online catalogues at SLV. The language of certain decades is so well crafted, particularly with advertising:
Melbourne and suburban hotel, guest and boarding house guide and tourist handbook. Date 1928?
Any strange Girl coming to Melbourne can visit the Cafeteria here where meals can be got for a small charge
Is that building still there in Russell Street?
The vast majority of buildings in this particular guide I’m reading seem to have been supplanted. Seems something of a shame but, equally, nothing stops progress.
Oh you’d love some of the stuff I’ve worked on. Social disease, self pollution, public convenience, avoidance of harlotry. The turns of phrase are magnificent!

lol I think nearly all of us can relate to that
Hell I don’t even need to go that far back…
Wouldn’t even need to switch am and pm for me.
If you don’t look back on your past self and cringe, then you didn’t grow as a person.
Facebook reminders remind me of this all the time (to which I delete them). God I was a fool.
The door man got back in at 8 to start sawing some wood and started ripping out the rest of the doors at 9.
We also have sparkles here now, because apparently our house has light switches on some door frames, which means old mate can’t just take a crowbar to it like he did the others, so they called sparkies to come relocate them.
Sometimes I look at the decisions these guys make and wonder why their pockets are so deep, yet they insisted on pinching every single penny when that kid moved in which blew all of this up in the first place. Certainly an expensive mistake. Expect a moderate increase in your taxes next year 😂
I ended up putting a box in front of my door so it would stop flinging open (yay uneven floors), and ended up getting a decent enough sleep. Woke up at midnight with all the wind, bloody hell it was rough, couldn’t get back to sleep for about an hour
I heard the bin man collect a bin, I sure I hope the others didn’t blow over…
