Uni marks came in. Somehow an A slipped onto my "barely passing" academic transcript. Also I got a high pass in the subject I thought I was going to fail, and a C in the third one.
I'm shocked, I might actually graduate this year
This community is a place created for the people of Melbourne and Victoria. We are a positive, welcoming and inclusive community. We might not agree about everything, but we always strive to stay civil and respectful.
The focus of our discussions is based around things that effect Victoria, but we are also free to discuss our local perspective on wider issues. Or head to the regular Daily Random Discussion thread to talk about anything.

Well done!
⭐ Well done!
Hell yeah you will, great job mate!
HELL YEAH!
Just listened to Shorten roasting Dutton and Morrison on ABC radio. Oh, what could've been. He deserved his shot at PM.
Just imagine the shit that LNP would have thrown at a Labor govt trying to deal with COVID. It would have been rabid and divisive (just like it was in Vic).
ugh, yet another failure to die in my sleep.
Join the club 🤘🏼
There is a new coffee community that has just been created. I believe as Melbourneans we need to make sure we go and add our collective coffee wisdom.
Fetch your pitchforks, I don’t drink the stuff
We'll just keep that quietly to ourselves here. Just, don't go announcing such blasphemy in the coffee community, you could ruin our reputation!
Neither, it's vile.
Love the smell, but the taste is awful.
I shared that opinion for the first 35 years of my life. It turns out I just hadn't tried good coffee (espresso). There are so many ways to have coffee too.. I did a bit of experimenting, started out with lattes with a couple of sugars and moved on to stronger brews over a few months. I'm not pounding triple shot long blacks or anything but I do love me a nice cup of Joe these days.
Never ever touch instant coffee. I'm not even sure how people call that stuff coffee.
I also thought beer was disgusting until I was 26.
I can do it, but my stomach hates it when I drink coffee.
It's cold and dark out there, but I'm going to brave it with Mr Woof to get first walkies done. Then I can follow up with some nice hot porridge for breakfast.
Here I am up again, thinking.
Late night coffee, same old story.
Only two beers, but coffee I'm craving.
Fuck, I need to get my shit together,
I think I'm in for stormy weather,
Ugh, I have to get it all together.
I have to be an adult,
Sooner or later.
Preferrably sooner rather than later.
I mean, sure, I'm quite messed up,
Longterm therapy is on the cards.
Fighting myself
But I should be fighting for help.
But it isn't an excuse
To stagnate.
This is not my fate,
Just an actual phase.
An inbetween state,
While I mutate
It's not too late
For me to close that gate
Behind me.
I'm more than the sum of my past,
A human with some janky parts.
But it's all here, still chugging away,
Rusting but taking it day by day
Rusting away but it's okay.
I'm temporarily corporeal,
We're all here for just a little while.
So thank you all for reading my prose,
Be it funny, sad, a little bit morose.
You all are amazing, so human and cool!
Just keep being you.
I stayed up too late.
Tomorrow me needs to pray for Mojo.
This game is killing me.
We’ve lost this one I think.
I’m sitting in bed streaming it from my iPad.
On the dot I see. Edit: or should I say, on the stroke of ...
Lmao watching an older film and I forgot you used to be able to just hire porn from the video shop. I was to young to hire it but I was always curious about those who did, like were they embarrassed taking it to the counter.
Looking at the metro train site and all lines are green? This is both surprising and seems too good to be true. I wonder how long it’d last
The fact that this is newsworthy and potentially a reason to celebrate is a bit concerning on Metro's part.
Day 16 of my exercise program... and it's a rest day. I feel like doing some exercises though, so I did 5 minutes of the ultra back friendly stomach exercises in the video I saw yesterday. Oh man, they seem a bit lame but you can really feel them engage where it counts! It's a 10 day program in itself, so it looks like I've started a new thing! But it's hi ho hi ho for me now so I hope you all have a lovely day that you deserve!
One of my (late) birthday presents from my partner is a shirt from the brand Foxblood, and it's a long shirt (which is great because i won't accidentally show my stomach while walking) but the sleeves have these sort of thumb holes, so I can feel like the true emo 13 y/o wanted to be.
Here's the shirt for those curious (if you want to get it locally, I order from Bezerk, I say locally, they're based on QLD, so not so locally but within Australia).
racked up 50 days alcohol free as of today, no pressing reason just wanted a break and a minor challenge to see through to the end. funnily enough the social drinking part was easy and had some fun nights out on 0 alcohol beers. the at home turning brain off and playing video games sipping soju is what i missed.
didn't experience any actual benefits, which is exactly like when i quit coffee for a couple months and nothing happened just mildly less enjoyment
I just walked out of my work building and smashed my Apple watch really hard against the (metal) doorframe, and it took me until I got to my car to muster up the courage to inspect the damage 🥴 Incredibly, not a scratch on it. I'm genuinely surprised it didn't crack.
Time to stop being lazy and buy a cover, I just hate the way they look but if I actually end up smashing this thing I'll be gutted.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK. They need to drop Warner. Good game England but it's not over yet.
Yeah. I think time to drop Warner. I agree.
Good game still. Hope we can do it on Day 4.
Even if they made the last catch it still wouldn’t have been enough.
I've had my garmin watch for over a month now and I had to take it off because I developed welts on my wrist like I'd been attacked by a iced vovo. They weren't burns or itchy. It wasn't tight or anything. I don't wear it in the shower or get it wet. Very odd. So I've cleaned it and I've just put it back on. Maybe I should have cleaned it before I started wearing it the first time. Anyway time to watch and wait. (Puns intended)
What band do you have on it? When i got my fitbit i had lots of similar issues from the band it came with. I bought myself a leather band to replace it with and its been fine since
@bot001 T minus 2 days to end school holidays.
2 days? When I looked online it said term started today, did they add in some "student free days" or something?
Banana bread is in the oven yay. Baby woke up an hour earlier than usual this morning so I’ve already had 2 coffees, done a load of laundry, read some of my new book, and of course the banana bread. I have either been feeling a bit depressed or am suffering from horrendous PMS post partum but I thought today I should try to keep busy rather than scrolling my phone all day.
For the rest of the day I’m hoping to work a bit more on an essay I’ve been writing for my newsletter and hopefully squeeze in an exercise routine. We shall see!

Project Upscale progress - 113/550. Seems worth it in terms of quality. I'm just using Upscyl (FOSS option) for this first try, and it's doing the job so far, quite happy with the results.
Also, coming across some things I'd forgotten about -
throwback to when I got to do something cool at work - nb. image not upscaled though
