Finally! Coolth!!!

You think it’s bad starting now, try waiting 3 years between S1 and S2 😭 they say next season should be out next year or so, I hope that’s what happens

Severance S2 almost feels like a different show that’s for sure.

I feel you about the tension with family. Sometimes I feel sad I only have one subsection of my family I really can connect with. But I’m glad that I have the option of avoiding so much drama as well. Creating better choices now that I have them…

I knew it, this rain was a total lie - all I ended up with was a car with dried dusty splotches all over! I’m not confident it’ll rain much tomorrow either… it’s so dry out there.

It took so much effort but I’ve done my most important duties today: cleaned manky kitchen and bathroom, vacuumed disgusting gross carpet, washed and dried some seriously dirty sheets and clothes, put new sheets on, and gave my own oily unwashed hair a good clean. 1.5hr chat with depressed cousin (both of us significantly more cheerful after talking), and a decent dinner later, I’m certainly feeling gruntled.

This will sound awful but I think I’m just going to frigging go into the office tomorrow and work (and count it as hours for later in the week), because I’m just not in the mood for a 4 day long weekend when I have a LOT to do before Thursday and will be pretty much unavailable for 7 working days after during which time several deadlines will come up.

I’d rather clear my plate early, and also do it on a day when I will have zero distractions (but good coffee, ergonomics and lighting).

New plan hatched (heh) in terms of buying gifts for people back in the Soup. Because they get nearly everything there (albeit marked up) it can be hard to figure out what to bring back… and I have the perfect idea.

Discounted fancy Easter choccies! I shall head to Leo’s on Tuesday or Wednesday after work and see if there’s some premium local brands on sale, the kind you won’t get overseas. Monsieur Truffe on discount would be nice.

I’m feeling a bit bummed spending all 4 days alone, however I sorta don’t mind given the lack of alone time I will have during my 11 day trip and the two days prior.

Really hoping that rain promised today eventuates. It’s been so dry recently!

Last two days saw me sink into disgusting goblin mode just eating and scrolling and watching tv without really enjoying any of it. Today I shall vanquish all the chores, wash my greasy hair, and start packing.

Halfway through Animal Kingdom S2 so far. Idk, it’s not terrible by far but it’s not really gripping my attention much either, I fast forward through all the alpha male stuff. I like Shawn Hatosy though and everyone says he does great in all 5 seasons so I guess I’ll keep going

E: also I’m so over this heat, it’s driving me mad. Literally the only silver lining being that there’s less acclimatisation needed for my upcoming trip.

Good morning, in further public holiday brainrot developments I went down the path of reading about Zizians (already vaguely knew about rationalism and MIRI and that insanity). The intelligent mind truly can go to some insane places. What the fuck is this shit

Same, aside from starting Animal Kingdom (the tv series)

I’ve given myself a break from lists for today. Tomorrow the listing resumes in earnest… floor and kitchen are filthy. Once again I state my dislike of carpeting

I regret to say the sophisticated bottle of chili oil I left in my car from yesterday’s food pickup and only remembered to grab just now is rather underwhelming and has too many unnecessary ingredients. Who puts whole coriander seeds in??! 🎩

A nice juicy bit of panfried salmon (skin on) served with roasted broccolini in a lemon dressing and some steamed kipfler potatoes (halved) in herb and garlic butter.

And a sophisticated bottle of chili oil.

6/10 and mostly dumb luck

Why do I have to be up so early on a public holiday. I mean, I did go to sleep very early too but I was angling for a nice long sleep-in… especially because of the very sexy dreams I just woke up from :(

Did a solid day of uni stuff. Made essential progress on the easiest stuff.

Next up is time to be data wizard, start generating plots, and when that all feels like too much I shall start with the easiest bit of writing: the method…

But that’s for next time. No supervisor meet next week, top priority is to clear my work pile before I fly off. Gonna just take all my days away as carers leave I think.

Tech success! I figured out why PuTTY wasn’t reading serial data from the ancient data measuring device I had to use (some setting in device manager buried under 5 layers)… and despite massive internal blockage in my head from actually sitting down and learning basic R, I managed to troubleshoot why my supervisor’s R script for cleaning the output data kept not working. Something something dataframe object column number mismatch something. Good old google making me feel smarter than I am

Got up at 3:30am after pizza-induced crazy dreams and heat and going to sleep early. Am now finally sat at computer forcing myself to do the last minute uni work I need to do before meeting my supervisor.

…of course, I want to do literally anything but that. Sinking feeling that I will not get to “enjoy” the public holidays much as I’m so behind on everything. My brain thinks of calhoon’s gorgeous hammock photo from yesterday and is engulfed in sadness.

Also, what the fuck it’s so hot in my apartment. Or I’m just really feeling it. I have to have the AC on in my south facing living room that has had the blinds closed all day…

OKAY. This meeting is at 9am and I need to be out of my house by 8:50 am so I better get cracking now. Headphones on, The Trip at full blast, let’s go

Totally did and scarfed it all down like a hungry wolf. Gonna have an early night…

I looked at that for nearly a minute thinking “surely that’s not road legal” before realising what I was looking at
