Just poking my head in after a very long absence to let everyone know that as of 3:15 today I am henceforth to be known only as Dr. Omoikiri 💪
That is mega wonderful! Our own Dr Omoikiri!
I will make sure not to serve apple breakfast when you’re around.
eeeyyyyyy welcome, and congratulations!
Congratulations doc 🎉🥂🍾

Omoikiri-hakase!!! We have missed you but are also unworthy to be in your presence 🙇♀️ 🫡
But also mega congrats 🥳
Congratulations Doctor Omoikiri!
That is a huge achievement and you should be very proud of yourself.

FUCK YEAH! CONGRATULATIONS DOCTOR!
Congrats! Amazing achievement.
Congrats and long time no see Doc!
My kid won an award today for visual arts. She received a $30 Coles gift card which she bought a packet of chips, large tub of cottage cheese and a lactose free drink.
She also got 100% on her history exam. ☺
that’s awesome 🤗
❤️
Well done Kid CEO!
Agreed! AMAZING! 🖤✨
Back from the hospital. Both positively and annoyingly, results were normal despite being in a fair bit of pain. But I will be getting a referral to a new specialist and also to a pain clinic so that’s a win.
I’m missing the pitter patter of tiny beans. I downsized to a week. It’s tempting to get Melbcat back asap but someone said maybe it’s it’s best to leave her there for a few days to settle in and get used to the cattery just so she knows it’s safe for next time.
Today I made 108 large lasagnas. I discovered a little hard lump in my hand, right where my rude finger joins on the palm side. You can move it around a bit, it’s kinda freaky. Doesn’t hurt too much but I’ll swing by a Dr next week and get it checked out.
You and Raven trying to out bulk-Italian food each other? 🤌 🤌 🤌 🤌 🤌 🤌 🤌 🤌 🤌
Given Raven is doing it as a home cook and I’m doing it in a factory setting, I declare Raven the winner. Doing that kind of thing at home is truly impressive.
😮
Had to call in sick today for the first time - had a sore throat on and off, and definitely sinusey. RAT says negative at least.
Since I work around the elderly and frail, coming in sick is a no-no. But I nearly blubbered down the phone when I called in.
You did the right thing. We have sick leave for exactly such reasons. Take care of yourself :)
im boredddddd
Can I offer you an early lunch?

Oh yes wow that’s a lot of food! I will have a responsibly sourced koala steak and camel milk latte please, thank you.
🥩 🥛☕️
The koala is fresh and medium rare for optimal flavour.
Delicious! Thank you!

Hi Bored, I’m dad!
Hi Dad! Can I have some money please?
Ask your mother.
Okay okay I’m playing Hot Take Thursday too.
I think trams are inefficient… they are so inflexible with rerouting, you can’t have express services, they can get majorly delayed by traffic, and because they can’t overtake, if one breaks down a whole lot get stuffed, and I still think it’s wild you often have to walk into the road to get on/off trams. And new routes are next to impossible to establish these days. I think people defend trams for the romantic charm but I think they are increasingly impractical for a city this size. Would rather see electric buses with bus lanes or fully separated light rail, not this worst of both worlds kind of thing.

Aggressively dings at you
This is a good hot take I like this.

Trams are garbage. They manage to be both shit trains AND shit busses.
The house feels empty without Melbcat. I keep thinking she’s going to come looking for me in the shower or looking down so I won’t step on her. It’s probably a good chance to do things like a big vacuum and use cleaning chemicals when she’s not around but I’m still feeling like crap
Nothing like having some hot fucken dal with fucken toast at TWENTY TO ONE IN THE FUCKEN’ MORNIN’
I really need to make sure I don’t loll around in bed til 12 this time lol. Feels like all I’ve done is bed -> bathroom -> work -> bathroom -> bed
A VB longneck is better
I haven’t fully naturalised yet, but I’ll get there.
VB is like the Vegemite of beers. If you weren’t raised on it as a kid, it’s basically unpalatable.
Don’t feel obligated to get there - I’m fully naturalised and I can’t stand the stuff. My first beer was XXXX. There are very valid reasons why we don’t drink those first beers again, they’re the cheapest at the bottle-o because they are awful.
Ha, don’t worry, it was all in jest - I’m much worse, I don’t even like beer at all and don’t drink much anyway so I’m pretty sure that precludes me from ever getting citizenship. 😆
Dal with toast is new to me. Must try.
My mum used to make sandwiches of it (albeit with fairly dry dal)! Also can use toast to scoop up dal instead. Toast is basically a holey second cousin of naan…
Reminder that no matter how much marketing and weird hype there is from McDonald’s and Americans… the McRib is garbage and they only bring it out once every now and then to capture the curiosity of those who fall for the hype.
Hot take thursday
I’m here for it.
Saying McDonald’s food is garbage is not really a Hot take is it ?
They should name it the McRip
Not a fan of regular ribs, I don’t think I’d ever voluntarily consume simulated ribs.
I do like their simulated chicken though.
Uhhhhm it happened again
Abba has been my top artist for the last 2 years
I switched to Deezer partway through the year - Coal Makes Me Cum came up in my top 25. Don’t ask me how.
Was that this year? Feels like a distant memory at this point
Get on the beers was in my top 50 for either 2020 or 2021 (they’re the same year as far as I’m concerned lol)
The amount of country music I’ve listened to in the last year REALLY came through in my wrap up. It even gave me a little custom video from Luke Combs which he recorded for his top fans on Spotify to say thanks.
Looking at that you’d never think a lot of the time I’m listening to other things like Rap Classics 1990-2010, Metal, Classical, Dance/Electronic, Various oldies, Punk, Rock (it does say my top genre is Rock though) and whatever else tickles my fancy.
I did mine with YouTube Music and my top artist was The Beatles. Second was Ringo Starr. Third is George Harrison. Fourth is Paul McCartney. Fifth was Hail the Sun.
I just realised why The Beatles was number one at 10 hours, it was because I listened to the Anthology albums (1, 2 and 3), which are 2 hours and a half hours (give or take). And also the times I relistened to Now and Then.
God this is fucking embarrassing hahaha.
lots of stressful life stuff going on lately, so I’ve dealt with it in a mature way by doing some random retail therapy.
what are some good apps/uses for a galaxy watch? 6, if that mtters
I’m ashamed to admit I’d get a smartwatch to remind me when I’ve been sedentary for too long…
hahahaha I JUST commented to my wife that I need to get moving because my watch told me so
Steps/exercise tracking?
this was one of my primary self justifications in splurging on it!
KISSINGER IS FINALLY DEAD!
(Sorry if celebrating the death of a horrible war criminal is not good).
50 years too late
This is the man who sent our jobs to China , who enabled the Chinese to have slave labour.
Now THIS is hot take thursday.
I have hated Kissinger my whole adult life
This isn’t a hot take! Because it’s very factual.
You’re not alone there :)
You know when you go to Aldi and discover something so you go back and buy 8 packets because you know they’re gonna disappear. I present to you macadamia lamington balls
I wish ALDI delivered
I was just thinking that
