even though almost all of you ignored my urgent request for puppies, I am still beneficent and gracious enough to not deny you Bonggu.

This is Bonggu. His human took this "embarrassing" pic of him napping. Even shared them with us to humiliate him. Jokes on them though because he's still very handsome. 13/10 (IG: hi_bbomabbong_2)

Send puppies.

Followed up the filling by mistaking my own anesthetized lips for a chewy piece of rocket. That’s gonna hurt later.

Years of diligently cleaning my teeth twice a day have finally paid off. Today I took half a morning and paid $300+ for a filling… …to cover where I’d worn the tooth enamel away.

Kudos to the enterprising “massage” house that has set up directly next to the Ballarat Bunnings. “Just popping out to get a (insert a suggestive piece of hardware), luv, won’t be long”.

This is a real cat. A Toyger. I’d never heard of them but in the unlikely event that I get a cat, I think one of these would be fine.

While I’m whingeing, on a scale from maybe not to hell f-ing no, how ok is it for a male pool attendant to tap a female swimmer on her rib cage (front/side) quite sharply, to get her attention because the lane is changing to lessons? Even if they’ve previously tried in some unspecified way?

Aaargh. Amazing how one admin snafu (not mine) can derail the day. And how unhelpful the people responsible can be about helping you solve the problem you’ve created.

pity anyone trying to get IMAX tickets to some random nature doco. Yesterday there was a bot attack of 1m+ hits, and today the new attempt at selling September Odyssey tickets has a one hour wait.

well if I needed something to fill the time while I wait for the phone to ring, I guess there's always Victorian politics...

it's early to be doing the World, but I'm waiting for a call and cannot do anything else while I wait. Wordle 1,865 3/6 ⬜🟨⬜🟩⬜ 🟨🟩⬜🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

The Odyssey is kind of compulsory at this point, isn’t it? IMAX website crashed yesterday when new tix released, fans Not Happy.

Who needs a Royal Commission when you have Nick McKenzie? #vicpol

Imax Melbourne website says an hour wait to buy tickets. I suppose that means the September run of the Odyssey is now on sale.

Well that was loud and grating.

Buckingham Palace: it’s smaller on the inside.

Does she take into account that here “you” means all of us and therefore she’s going to come out quite a few million behind no matter what?

Fun thought experiment! Let's say you are given a choice between the following two options: 1. You receive $50,000 right now, cash on the barrelhead. 2. I flip a coin. If it's heads, you get $2,000,000. If it's tails, you give me $1,000,000. Which choice do you take? Which choice is rational?
