people keep making movies where the premise is "it's kind of like a man but it looks like a monstrous freak but it's nice and sexy and doesn't abuse the woman so it's basically the most romantic thing ever" and men keep not getting it.

While I was away last weekend, the leaves at home had started to turn.

One of my neighbours is learning to play the saxophone. I didn't mind the scales so much, but now we've moved on to an actual tune, so I've been hearing the opening notes of 'Take Five' about a hundred times a day.

Some of my parents' neighbours have fake bodybags as part of their outdoor Hallowe'en decorations, and it's frankly a bit disturbing. Hallowe'en is not about murder and serial killers; it's about the veil between two worlds being at their thinnest at the end of the year.

Fun time to be an arachnophobe.

Yesterday's vaccines finally caught up with me today while I was out - I had to come home early because I felt (and probably looked) like a plague victim.

I feel lousy for having done very little today apart from getting vaxxed and attending a job centre appointment, but everything else costs money. Also I'm tired and my arms hurt.

My interview yesterday was on Teams, and although I set a background before joining the call, when I was in the call I couldn't see my own camera feed - they assured me they could see me, but I didn't think to check if they could see the background. Now I'm paranoid they saw my messy flat.

Just got back from getting my jabs and it is pleasantly cold outside. I still have the windows open, though, for lüften.

I like to keep the windows open in all but the coldest months, and let me tell you, walking into the kitchen this morning and SHIVERING was the best thing that's happened in a long time. Hello, autumn, at last.

I always enjoy looking around Snooper's Paradise when I'm in Brighton, but everything is above my budget.

They put my asthma review nurse on the 3rd floor (4th floor for non-Brits) then took the lift out of action right before my appointment.

Apparently there is Disk Horse about the ED already, less than 24hrs in.

While it would have been cool to have 'Horse With No Name' for the Steel Ball Run ED, I am not disappointed at all with that new original song.

Got spoiled for the Steel Ball Run OP on Instagram, and I fear viewing it on my phone screen dampened the impact somewhat.

Uh, hey, Nervous System? Why are we anxious today? There are no deadlines looming. We are not in danger. We have eaten, taken meds, and not consumed any caffeine. What's going on?

I'm starting to think that watching Transformers as a kid definitely influenced assume of my, um...preferences. There were so many deep, rumbly voices in that cast. Very pleasing.

Apparently my Loops don't just make the cinema volume more bearable: they also cut out the sound of everyone else snacking and whispering. I don't go to the cinema on weekends often: weekday patrons also seem to have better manners.

There's no promo for it in the cinema, but Transformers let's gooo!!

I have two episodes left of the Banana Fish dub, but after yesterday and The Horrors, I am far too fragile to watch them any time soon.

Had my interview and uhhhhh this job feels sketchy, but my job centre appointment this morning was so ableist and awful that I cried afterwards. Right now, I think I'd take a sketchy part time gig over the DWP system.

What is it with fucking engagement farmers on bsky lately? These days I can barely post anything without it immediately getting reposted by some bot account.

I have a job interview tomorrow, for a job I don't particularly want, but (a) I do need some type of job, and (b) turning down a job offer, no matter how crappy, would get my benefits sanctioned. It's part-time (20hrs p/w) for £18ph, so I'd still be looking for something else to make up the hours.

For about 24hrs this week, I had a sniffle and a gritty throat, and I worried that I might finally have succumbed to a cold, but it passed. Which means it's now nearly 7 years since I last caught a cold, where I used to catch one at least once a year.

I got on a bus and went to a place.
Photo of a plaque on the gable wall of a stone building which reads, Welcome to Fox Valley, home of the paragon umbrella frame, patented 1852. There is a shiny metal image of Samuel Fox, an older man in a suit holding a folded umbrella. Photo of a statue in the middle of a road roundabout. The statue is a fat anthropomorphic Fox wearing a suit, glasses and a flat cap, and holding out a folded umbrella.

It is sub-20°, I'm wearing layers, and I took my winter boots out of the wardrobe this morning. It doesn't smell like autumn yet, but it feels close.

Today I finally got around to using some Japanese curry roux that's been sitting in my spice stash for a couple of months. Safe to say, I have a new food fixation now.

After seven full days of doing stuff for others, I took a self-care day today, which meant sleep (lots!), anime, and crafting.

My strawberry soap dish fell into the sink yesterday and smashed. Fortunately, the shop I bought it from still has a few fruit-themed bathroom bits, so I was able to pick up a replacement today, and a second bonus one just in case!
Two ceramic soap dishes, one shaped like a pumpkin and one shaped like a sliced pear.

How did I ever used to manage a full time retail job AND theatre productions AND a social life? I did three half-days of charity shop volunteering this week and I'm knackered.

Someone was in the shop today with a Mulligan & O'hare T-shirt on (iykyk) and I said, "your shirt is amazing, where's it from?" and they said, "either Temu or Shein," and I wanted to scream.
