Nerd stuff. Surprising amount of whales. Cooking. Leftie politics. Have a bunch of cats. he/him cis homo.
I'm having this standoff in my head with the guy opposite me on the train. We're both wearing RMs but he, like a peasant, is wearing chisel toe Craftsmen in standard heel whereas I am wearing point toe Yearlings in stacked heel.

What is the best song and why is it Papa Was a Rodeo?

I have put on Marianne Faithful's cover of The Crane Wife 3, which is an example of a cover being better than the original.

A dilemma question.

Should I put on Moonlight Shadow before or after the stovetop kettle has boiled?

I was reminded of the time someone I worked with said "I wish I had a talent" and I replied "aren't you the best Irish dancer in Australia?" "Yeah but something useful"

I love getting a targeted ad for the sunglasses I'm literally wearing.

Anyone who says you you can't be too matchy-matchy can go fuck themselves and you can't even see how much my socks match my shirt.

At the Vietnamese restaurant and the gays on the next table are talking about how to identify who your housemate actually is.

Anyway I ordered the roast duck noodle soup as I was sitting down

A constant in Melbourne is that if you see one franchise Mexican restaurant then the other three are next door.

"Exododus" sounds some kind of niche electronic dance music album.

I bought some bedsheets today so you can imagine what my targeted ads are.

One of my favourite characters in The Simpsons is Superintendent Chalmers. It's because almost every authority figure is either incompetent or evil and that's the point. Chalmers is actually good at his job and doing so makes Skinner even more incompetent.

Overheard once at a pub. "There's this singer nobody's ever heard..Kate Bush" I started yelling KB lyrics at him and a stranger joined in.

Misunderstanding Paul Verhoeven films should be some kind competitive sports because some people are really good at it.
I still think we’re here because a bunch of social rejects misunderstood STARSHIP TROOPERS in high school.

I'm at my favourite Vietnamese restaurant and like clockwork there's two Chaos Lesbians oversharing next to me.

One of the musicians loading gear was either carrying some kind of theremin or a very elaborate bong but given it's the improv experimental music night either is possible.
