Looking for interim gigs while waiting on my work contract right now, and holy shit this is the worst job market I've ever seen. My wonderful dad is helping me with the search too but he's saying it's worse than the GFC, which is saying a lot. Here's hoping that contract gets in soon.

Happy October. No major updates. Visited graves, accepted the uncomfortable and just hoping for the best. Life is exhausting me to the core and I'm reaching my limits but I gotta keep pushing, otherwise it all falls apart. I have another trip at months' end I'm not thrilled about, either.

Postal service woes. Dealing with it and I have a trip this weekend I'm taking. It's late. I need to sleep. I hope my package gets delivered. I kinda need what's in it.

Excuse the crappy skin application, it's being replaced soon. Laptop crashed earlier tonight while booting a game, and I just can't be arsed to deal with an overheating dying machine right now. So, Steam Deck it is. Sucks for what I'm trying to do but I'll manage. Still waiting on new job, btw.

Acquiring this Steam Deck has given me too much power. Slight flashing lights warning in case you can't handle VHS artifacting.

I'm really lonely here, but I know that's only temporary. Things will improve. I just have to wait at this point.

Acquiring a Steam Deck within the next week and a half or so. Excited for it, if not just to have a device that isn't choking itself regularly to play games on. Primarily going to be pushing through my backlog on it; I consider 1st person games other than RPGs a m&k only experience for me.

It's been a long month or so. I have closure with something coming in two weeks or so. I think I have some final loose ends to tie up before my (hopeful) final goodbye to this place I'm currently in. Still about 6-8 months out for moving though. Hope it's sooner, if not for myself.

I find frogs on my evening walks most nights when it's humid in this area I'm staying in. This one looks like he just woke up from a nap. What an esteemed gentleman.

New medication, new haircut. Feel like a new woman today. Last night I found a frog as well, and I'm very happy. Some good things in this very shaky/unsure time in my life.

Might invest in a cheap emulation handheld as something to do in downtime since I'm going to be doing a lot of admin the next couple of months. Better question is what do I want/how cheap can I get something decent, lol.

Things are looking a little more stable. Won't be much new photography from me outside of uploading old shots soon-ish.

I am in the most convoluted, fucked timeline I could've been thrown into. If you know my circumstances right now, you know why I'm saying this. Needless to say I'm over it all. Just need to survive until January.

Tonight involves 9 hours of flying, followed by 4 hours of layovers, then another 1.5 hours of flying. Then another 1.5 hours of flying on Friday. Always sad to leave but I know every time it's temporary.

Forgot to post my third dan clear, week before Dojo ended. We start over again on the 6th. I likely won't be doing anything until the 14th, especially given I'm sick right now. Back to the.. grind? Shoutout to Leisureland 1's 3rd machine P1 drum for being an absolute champ.

Slight profile refresh. In other news, got a flip phone for some photography and aesthetic things. May start sharing some photos here if I'm feeling it soon, depending. Need to also give the 1200D a little more love as well. Still in a bad wave of mental health, I'll write more on it later.

Brooke @cafemilk.moe · 10/05/2026
Mental health is well and truly in the toilet. Will keep pretending everything is okay until it fully collapses. Nature of my life and situation; if the wrong block gets pulled out, the tower falls. But I push on, because what else can someone like me do? Push forward, keep going, no other choice.

Cursed 2nd Dan clear. -1% soul hurts me. I could've had gold. Last play on official maibachi (blues I borrowed from my girlfriend) until I pick up my new custom ones tomorrow.

For the ones who do post photography , what's a good way to just share it on the internet? Been wanting to get my foot in the door with some of my urban/environmental shots I've taken during my travels and don't know where to start. I got a jank camera and a good camera. It's a life.

Appointments.. on Easter? It's more likely than you think. Then another one Friday. Appointment, appointment, appointment. So tired, both physically and mentally. Keeping it going though.

think my game tastes changed again. turning into the average woman gaming with my new-found interests in horror and calm games. what the fuck has my life turned into

For those interested in adding me on Donder Hiroba for whatever reason, here you go. Unapologetically 1st dan and probably won't go much further than that for now. I'm a chronic Taiko no Tatsujin player and I'm not sorry.

Brooke @cafemilk.moe · 08/03/2026
Ah yes.. because I already verified *and* have a domain attached to the account, which isn't enough. Guess I'm too baby-faced. I'll take it as a compliment but I'm still going to be annoyed. Gonna have to try again when I'm sleep deprived because only the despair of a mid 20s woman can do this, ig.

Made it back to Melbourne in one piece. Two months to handle medical and vibe before I fly out again

Brooke @cafemilk.moe · 26/02/2026
Made it to Sydney in one piece. 3 days and then Melbourne until May. I'm so fucking tired. Travelling is getting harder for me energy-wise.

Brooke @cafemilk.moe · 15/02/2026
New Taiko PB today on the one oni song I'm not butts at. Twice a week I keep my sanity with this when I'm alone. Sucks but what can you do.

I just saw snow for the first time in 4+ years. What a nice sight. It made my day.
000
Brooke @cafemilk.moe · 06/02/2026
Got a bit sick last night, and given it's supposed to rain today and snow tonight, not the worst idea to stay in. I'm not sleeping well either, so I'll use it as an opportunity.
000
Brooke @cafemilk.moe · 05/02/2026
Visa and flight booked. Biggest headaches are done. Something's up with my mental health, appetite, and my approach to everything. Maybe I'll take a walk today, think.

Brooke @cafemilk.moe · 04/02/2026
so sleepy, coffee is friend. tonight's dinner might be small or nothing. I ate a reasonable lunch so it's okay. maybe I get cheap discount food?

oh uh, bonus nighttime shot from a main road. if you know where this is, neat. still alive. tomorrow is a new day.
Street shot from a sidewalk, before a pedestrian crossing. The shot focuses the distance and buildings in a night-time shot.

current consensus of this stay: - this medication swap did me wonders holy shit - it is very difficult to keep busy - oh hey I got yamabuki bachi for Taiko no Tatsujin arcade - I am sleeping like ass - my appetite is shot - next phone needs to be an iPhone for Suica reasons

about to board I miss her already. fuck this sucks. everything's going to be okay. the next month and a half will be very lonely.

little over 36 hours until my flight. this time there isn't excitement. just exhaustion, and stress. most of my things are packed. just need to buy a new adapter since I lost mine, and downloading Endfield to my phone if I want to game on my trip.

I'm fucking tired, boss. Why did I have to be born to a country that I absolutely despise, with nowhere else to go? The only pathway I have elsewhere is still 6-9 months out. I just wish I belonged to another country. I'm not even safe to return to my passport country. Fuck this shit.

Toomba flavoured Shin ramyun: - light spice - slightly cheesy - goes good with mozzarella cheese Overall, no complaints. Only that I psych myself out over things and cause breathing problems because of it.. did the same with fish (which I'm not allergic to). Whoops.

fucking verified to get around the Aus social media shitshow this morning spoiler: it isn't working. either I got clocked as a teenager (I'm almost 26) or their system is asscheeks for it. take your guess

You’ll be missed, Becky. The world truly shone brighter with you here. Enjoy your reunion with Jennell. Thank you for everything you did, and rest well.

Made it back to Australia in one piece yesterday, with my easiest customs trip to date. New passport this week, already did pathology, and walking/catching up on sleep. Life is slowly improving. I also lost over 10kg in under 3 weeks. Getting healthier, too. Good life.

Brooke @cafemilk.moe · 19/10/2025
Happy 10 years, me. Congrats on making it this far, despite the odds. I got myself some decent ramen from a small shop nearby today. It was really good. I can't help but feel somber and a bit lonely today, but that's okay. I'll go for a walk later tonight to clear my head.

If I had a free pass to change my physical attributes, oh boy. I'd practically be back at the character creator. Although feel like I'd still have some debuffs with my health conditions but meh. Given my current disdain for my body, here's what I'd change. Enjoy my brain cells rambling for a bit.

I'm not paid enough to deal with the US government's bullshit while I'm abroad. I'm so tired, man.

Appears now I risk any game crashing from playing too long on this laptop. One issue after another (and I flat out can't afford to do anything with it at this point). I'd love to replace it, yeah. But unless 2000$ USD drops on my lap, that's not happening anytime soon lmao.

Meta Knight on Taiko no Tatsujin; it’s more real than you think. Nobody is safe from my shit gameplay now.
