I continue to enjoy “The Americans” use of no dialogue and silence. This scene had no dialogue, no music, but a lot of dour expressions.

Triplej keeps playing this song. And I can’t quite work out if I like it, or if it’s just a musical Stockholm syndrome.

Where does the American obsession with cinnamon come from? It's not like pumpkin where it's native, it's very much an imported spice.

I sometimes get anxious when standing in line / at register in supermarket thinking “what do I do with my hands?” Usually I have them crossed.
Then I think “am I looking aggressive?”. Then I put them behind my back & touch the grubby rail behind & then I’m thinking about that, & cross my arms again.

I just remembered that NaNoWriMo imploded under AI.
I actually went to one or two local events. Helped me through a difficult time in my life.

Thinking about buying a Steamdeck. Want to play games, but don’t want the faff of building / buying and having to put somewhere a gaming pc.
But I usually have other things I should be doing, always / often.

Was outside for maybe 2 hours. Then started with dry cough, itchy eyes and copious sneezing. Then checked the pollen count. Unpleasant.

I've tried most hair styles, gone all the way down to a buzz cut in the past, let my hair grow out and messy. I think the only one I've not tried is a mullet. So maybe when I next get a haircut that'll be what I give a go.
It's just hair, if I don't like it, cut it back to regular.

Gotta drive up to Truganina today. The vehicle dad bought (interstate) has been delivered. It looks one of the lesser picturesque suburbs of Melbourne.

For the LGBTQIA+ community, queer pubs and clubs can be an oasis. But in some capital cities they are vanishing.

Everything about this music clip suggests it's a late 1990s clip, except it was published a couple of days ago. Also love the drummer's hair.
