Saruman the stinky
Looking at my bookmark with my nephews school photo pic on it and realising I can get my sister a good one by gifting her bookmarks with my dogs pic on it.

Probably also wind up the rest of my family with it actually.

walked past a car today that made a start up noise like a windows95 desktop

no thank you

reading a disturbing French sci-fi book that merges the idea of city with the idea of the internet as a panopticon while being full of all the fucked up tropes.

It’s a good book but goddamn is it gonna hard to tell people why tbh

introduced my partner to putting the leftover leek tops in the egg wrap.

God tier lunch tbh

Just spent like 30minutes being out smarted by a fly.

So that’s how my day is going.

nephew: Aunty why is Lord of the Rings your favourite?

me: Good question but it’s probably cuz I read it while I was very young and every time I read it I notice something else. I like stories that teach us things as we age.

him: oh. So do you like Sonic?

what’s the name for when men essentially catcall compliments at other men

My partner gets a surprising number of impressed complimentary shouts from young blokes at the pub for example

shedding season hit my greyhound/borzoi two weeks ago and omg.

Friends you do not want a borzoi no matter how majestic the internet makes them seem. You want a large greyhound, the kind without much of an undercoat that you can put in silly outfits. Trust me

Turns out I have forgotten to give my dog a carrot in awhile.

I know this because he proudly brought in a weed, made eye contact and then waited. He wanted the good fridge sticks to crunch.

At least it's good for his teeth.

Babysitting but jealously reading about the great dane that has escaped (not its usual home iirc) and is having an explore of my suburb.

Put shaded tinting on the dog door yesterday (because summer) and now have to decide whether I am going to redo it properly now that I have made all of the mistakes or just live with it forever.

ordered something from the UK earlier in the week and Royal Mail is telling me they will be delivering it tomorrow.

So that bodes well for it reaching me halfway across the world this year.

a dash cam page that is just a collection of inadvisable u-ies

My front door is illegal and at the side of the verandah not front of house, so it is confusing.

Auspost have taken to leaving parcels on the chair right next to the front stairs though which is odd. Somehow more effort & less hidden then placing to the side of the stairs, hidden behind brick wall

Celebrating pride tonight by going to an Abbe May gig and abandoning the husband to hang out under the aircon with all the menopausal/perimenopausal lesbians.

It was great.

goddamn pile I’ve second hand books I want in the UK but it’s $200 to have $60 of books shipped over. :-/

I brushed my dog late this morning…

My bed is now covered in his fur from him napping while I was reading.

It’s like he saved it all up for me while I was gone.

web search results are such a wasteland now and I hate it

I miss finding cool information on websites that were clearly personal passion projects, or giant FAQs formatted in pure ASCII that explained everything about a niche topic

Having to get used to driving a large euro sedan again. :-/

Honestly it’s just harder to bogan arm when the indicators are on the wrong side and the seating designed for blokes over 6”1’.

That thing where you know the bloke that is the answer to the question but you and your partner are both blanking on the name.

(We eventually remembered OJ Simpson vs “murderer, glove, car chase, famous dodgy media trial” so that was nice.)

Back at home with my giant greyhoundX.

Turns out I’m now no longer in the habit of keeping my food out of his reach. So he’s enjoying having me back at least.

He is also in the shedding season my god.

Is it just me or have genre type books stopped providing much of a description of a character?

Books from the 80s/90s you get a whole paragraph about a character’s appearance, the 2010s books you get ~maybe~ a sentence

Whoever told me Frankenstein (2025) is accurate to the Novel is a lying liar.

It’s solid film, but as a response to pop cultural Frankenstein, not the novel

The annoying thing where the first book in a series is really good but the second is proving annoyingly hard to find

I am getting so many 'why are all these fantasy novels about 19 yos I want to read about adults' memes and...

It is very hard not to respond with, maybe try reading a fantasy novel that isn't YA? Especially after reading the responses and recs to a few.
