Chinchillazilla My dealer: got some straight gas 🔥😛 this strain is called "Hogfather" 😳 you’ll be zonked out of your gourd 💯 Me: yeah whatever. I don't feel shit. 5 minutes later: dude I swear I just had a full conversation with a rat skeleton My buddy Teatime pacing: the tooth fairy is lying to us December 23, 2023 at 5:41PM
Deeply odd moment of revelation today when I realised I have been using Microsoft Word for longer than about 40% of our project team has been alive.
Ah fuck are IBM the good guys now
Theory that the US is so embarrassed at turning up late for the first two world wars that they’re determined to turn up early for the next one is still pretty strong.
Excellent, Niko Ne Zna always do a good gig.
Ok, it’s 9:30pm and there’s a huge queue at the Waitomo petrol station on Thorndon Quay. Have I missed something? Is the petrol price about to jump?

Watched a lot of Red Dwarf when I was younger.
Went off for the weekend. While we were away, a kereru flew through kitchen window, shattering it. Kids were quite taken aback.
Whenever I talk to someone over 50 but particularly women they are absolutely terrified that if they get laid off/made redundant they won’t find work again cause no one wants to hire old people and yet all the talk is about raising the retirement age.
Contentious opinion: I quite like Whanganui.
The Gen X urge to mmm skyscraper I love you
Kids are trying to shock us by playing filthy punk songs. Kids are about to be in for rude shock. In several senses.
Nice. A while ago my oldest asked “hey papa, do you just wear that orange and white striped rugby jersey as a homage to penguin books?” and I knew I was busted.
Didn’t see what the dog was doing.
Dog walk lasted three minutes. Out into the weather, found the nearest bush, did a shit under it, turned firmly for home.

I have been informed that Mr. Eno has now seen this. “Very amusing” was the verdict.
I get up to all sorts on Patreon.com/frasergeesin if you fancy it.
My comics are also “Very amusing” and cheap from Frasergeesin.com
Watched Sinners last night. This morning, the house resonates to the sound of traditional Irish folk songs as the violin and banjo get a workout.
Actually, of the 11 notable alumni on the school’s Wikipedia page, three were in my class and i got on well with them. I now feel like I need to step up a bit more.
Also that the monks who ran the school have had multiple credible accusations of abuse against them, but that’s less of a surprise.
Did a quick bit of research on this and was surprised to find that the outgoing kid from my class has been a successful DJ and producer for 30 years.
Our 18yo started listening to the Cure as a result of owning a Disintegration t-shirt for several years.
The only acceptable camo on a landie is Berlin Brigade camo - a pattern designed specifically for a specific city and architectural type. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_c... for a good picture)
The takeaway from this, is even the orange guy had no interest in "the alternative, patriot, maga, christofacist, kid rock halftime show" and still watched the proper one.
Eldest child is in the queue to get in Laneway and reports multiple ad hoc stalls selling pink cowboy hats, including one guy just walking up and down with a stack of hats and an eftpos machine.
I'm really bad at my job, beyond the usual imposter syndrome. I used to worry about this but if you manage to blag your way through probation, truth is, most people, including managers, are nearly always either too bad at their own jobs, or too busy to notice anybody else.
Also: in my experience, coming from the railway station end of things, riding around the bays towards Miramar is about 2.5 K longer than going through the Mount Vic tunnel, but takes roughly the same amount of time – no traffic lights on the way, all on the flat
Can’t recall about over, but the Mt Vic tunnel footpath is bike legal (if unpleasant). That said, mt vic has loads of bike tracks so riding over shouldn’t be a problem
a copy of The Dawnhounds and a note which reads: Stronach has built a world of excellent bio/fungal-punk crankiness, populated by rambunctious characters and top stuff piratical fuckery that I have to recommend its grim weirdness and joyous freedom. MG.
eyyy, shoutout Unity Books Wellington, I made the wall!
