Very busy and stressed at the moment and my technique for handling it is going for a short walk with the inaturalist app open. Today I found a neat colony of Trichaptum biforme.

People keep saying Civic’s dead but I wouldn’t know because I only get shitfaced in Belco.

We’ve won pub trivia three weeks in a row and I’m worried that everyone is starting to hate us.

Everyone says this city’s nightlife is dead but we’re at a cowboy bar in Braddon and they’ve got a hundred people line dancing to ABBA here.

It’s been warm for a Canberra winter, but surely not “your neglected Carolina Reaper still producing peppers” warm.

On the weekend we thought it’d be a good idea to go to two different gigs on the same night, and I am feeling the middle age.

“Adopt don’t shop”. Okay, but every dog at the local shelter is a breed known primarily for mauling small children.

Got briefly exposed to comic book discourse here on this app today and Jesus, people, you cannot care this much about Gambit.

The most ideologically radical show on Australian tv is Gardening Australia and they’ve been getting away with it for nearly forty years. I will not elaborate.

We rent an old “govie”, Canberra slang for a government-built house. They built thousands of these things to a common plan in the sixties. Now we’re house-shopping, and the nicer places are all govies. Inspections are weird, because we’re seeing bizarro versions of our current home.

Looked at a place today that has roller doors on the outside but inside where the garage should be there’s a “family room” with no sign of them. No thank you, realtor. I’m not getting House of Leaves’d.

The last two times we went to the cinema we were stuck next to people who decided, in spite of every law of god and man, to talk through the movie. If it happens again tonight I’m moving to the woods and writing a manifesto.

“We’re open to offers over $9”
“Okay. Here’s $10”
“$10 is good, but we’re going to need at least $12”
“and by $12 you mean?”
“$20”
If I was trying to buy a banh mi or a pint of beer this wouldn’t fly. Why are real estate agents so weird?

Looking at houses to buy and constantly thinking “This isn’t for us. We’re too poor for this” is weird when we’re both permanently employed professionals with degrees. We’re upper middle class but used to thinking of ourselves as poor.

Wait for an hour in a digital queue for SOAD tickets, pick seats, enter payment details and then the ticketing app just decides to exit. Great job.
