Just got asked by a 4yo in my son's daycare if I have a baby in my tummy. Guess it's time to actually try losing weight then.

If the Sydney show is anything to go by, you're in for a good time.

Very fair. Hope these dates are relatively gentle on you. And thank you!

Ticked off a bucket list band seeing @themountaingoats.bsky.social in Sydney tonight. Happy days. First standing gig in too many years though, and now my feet are dead.

Did I make a special trip to a particular store of Coles just to get a specific variety of M&S tea? Yes. Yes I did. Man, I miss M&S. Which is maybe the most middle aged thing I've ever said.

Too hot to be working from home.

Messily bearded man with surprisingly well coiffed hair sitting with a headset and visible boom mic. He appears mildly annoyed, and obviously sweaty - his lilac shirt is damp from the sweat.

Mostly successful attempt. Efforts will continue.

My 3yo has been into Spidey and His Amazing Friends for the past few months, but is finally letting me put in Spider-Verse. I'm so excited.

Of course power is lost on the hottest evening in forever. Fingers crossed the good folks at Ausgrid are able to restore before too long.

So fun fact, I had my blood pressure taken on settlement day whilst at work, and they were very close to sending me to hospital there and then. It gets more fun once things are moved in.

mimsy @mimsyboojum.bsky.social · 11/11/2025

Huge news, congrats. I bought for the first time this year, and have never been so stressed, but it's so been worth it. Enjoy!

mimsy @mimsyboojum.bsky.social · 05/11/2025

Currently reading Alchemised by SenLinYu. Didn’t realise its background when I bought it (though perhaps should have guessed). Hate to say it but enjoying it far more than expected. Damn too long though.

mimsy @mimsyboojum.bsky.social · 05/11/2025

Ahaha, you are sorely mistaken, friend! I'm actually recovered now, but the picture made my workmates genuinely concerned for my well-being 😅

mimsy @mimsyboojum.bsky.social · 05/11/2025

Can't relate, best I can do is look utterly wrecked. Would share but I don't think anyone wants that tbh.

mimsy @mimsyboojum.bsky.social · 24/09/2025

100% this. Started audiobook two of a two book series today, completely different narrator. Main character now has a remarkably different accent. Very jarring.

mimsy @mimsyboojum.bsky.social · 19/09/2025

My 3yo just exclaimed, "My legs do have bones." He seemed pretty annoyed about it. That's it. That's the whole message.

mimsy @mimsyboojum.bsky.social · 12/09/2025

(Obviously there are lots of people who have read it, but you get my point.)

mimsy @mimsyboojum.bsky.social · 12/09/2025

I can understand that. I really got into the world building of it all, for sure - it feels like there are many more stories to tell (which, iirc, is/was her intent?) Nice to have someone else who's read it either way 😊

mimsy @mimsyboojum.bsky.social · 12/09/2025

Piranesi was lovely, and I thoroughly appreciated it being a much shorter read too. I'm not normally one for huge books.

110

mimsy @mimsyboojum.bsky.social · 12/09/2025

Yes to the fairy character! Also loved the actual powerful magician who barely makes an appearance, but his history and presence is felt throughout. The footnotes...I definitely skimmed at times. But I liked that they were mostly supplemental. Bought a copy for my mum after finishing 😅

110

mimsy @mimsyboojum.bsky.social · 12/09/2025

I actually read it earlier this year, almost immediately followed by Piranesi. Absolute tome of a book but I enjoyed it a lot in honesty.

mimsy @mimsyboojum.bsky.social · 06/09/2025

I have been dragged to a party for a 4yo at 9.30 at an indoor trampoline/play zone. I've had four hours of sleep. It is a sensory nightmare.

mimsy @mimsyboojum.bsky.social · 12/08/2025

This feels like it should be easily achievable, yet the good ones I can think of do seem to be already married/partnered up. And in NSW. A conundrum.

010

mimsy @mimsyboojum.bsky.social · 04/08/2025

Aaah okay - thank you! That was more straightforward than I remembered. As someone who (over)uses semicolons though, I don't know how I feel about that being okay.

110

mimsy @mimsyboojum.bsky.social · 04/08/2025

Yeah, so the crashing ended up being an issue with my PS5. Couldn't uncorrupt my file, but was able to play start to finish without any repeated issues. Veilguard is unfairly maligned. Not the best DA game, but still a good amount of fun.

mimsy @mimsyboojum.bsky.social · 04/08/2025

Well worth a sub for word nerds. That said, I need elaboration on the comma splice situation. Largely because, for whatever reason, I struggle to maintain a good understanding of comma splices...

Very soft, yes. We did have a legitimate 7° day the other week though. Felt like a real winter day, it was great!

110

mimsy @mimsyboojum.bsky.social · 11/07/2025

I actually thought I had it listed but that must be the old place - sorry. Regardless, I've been in NSW since 2020.

110

mimsy @mimsyboojum.bsky.social · 11/07/2025

It does seem to be the consensus, yes. A 30° day over here is still hot but definitely more tolerable than the UK. They do complain it's cold at 19° though, and I'll never get used to that.

110

mimsy @mimsyboojum.bsky.social · 01/06/2025

Oh no. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Had this shirt since about 2005, and finally throwing out today. It moved country eith me multiple times. Goodbye old friend. @threadless.bsky.social

A rather worn-out white t shirt from Threadless. It mimics the I Love NY design, but the heart is replaced with the words 'Have Never Been To'.

Not surprised at that generally, but a little surprised WA is the worst. A little terrifying knowing how bad things are on the east coast.

Coughed on the way in to pick up my son from daycare, and heard him say, "Oh, that sounds like daddy!". Might be time to quit smoking, folks.

My wife and I had lunch at a lakeside the other day, and I saw four congregating. It was a big day for me.

mimsy @mimsyboojum.bsky.social · 15/03/2025

Alas, I can't find a way to fix it, and I can't progress either. Not often I've had a game breaking bug. Haven't got the energy to put another 30hrs into Veilguard for now. Someone lmk if another patch comes out?

000

mimsy @mimsyboojum.bsky.social · 14/03/2025

I've genuinely really been enjoying Veilguard over the past couple of weeks, but the bugs are getting silly. Regularly experiencing one which just hard crashes my PS5, but have just found one which changes my class type entirely. Appears to be permanent. Would hate to quit here but may have to.

old Soviet joke for our times: Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to. Guy says: “looking for an obituary.” Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.” Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”

Wonderful stuff. Thoughts on the interrobang? Incidentally, highly recommend reading Because Internet by Gretchen McCulloch (if you've not read it already).
