The thali. Always the thali ❤️
Another Xena tournament at PAX Together, hosted by @alicedkc.bsky.social. One day I'll win. Or at least win a match.
This is the most incredible thing I have ever seen. Thank you for playing and also nailing the best Joxer strategy of throwing shoes!
That’s PAX done for another year. Thanks to all of you that came to @alicedkc.bsky.social and I’s panels! And thanks to those who said hi. I will now lie down and sleep.
You will love it. It’s the best. And the curry selection changes daily.
On a related note, if you’re in town for PAX, Delhi Streets is close(ish) to MCEC and has the best and most delicious (and reasonably priced) Indian food in town. A true hidden gem. Everyone there is so kind and talented and deserves all the customers ever.
Today Karma & I went to the restaurant that catered our wedding to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary (it was our 15th dating anniversary y’day). Impossible to properly celebrate during PAX prep, but I love this tradition. I still can’t believe it’s been 15 years. Feels like yesterday & forever.
Hasn’t fully hit her yet, but she got this Pikachu in Japan and *loves it*. Took it to the aquarium today to show it and Charizard all the fish. Luckily I think I’ve found a friend of a friend going to Japan next month who might be able to secure a replacement (and a backup) but this is a rough one.
Melbourne friends! If you happen to find a Pikachu somewhere between Elizabeth St and MCEC, could you please let me know? It has this tag on it and is one of my 2yo’s favourites. Please spread far and wide to help find it.
That was last week, when open garden season started
I am so disappointed we don’t get this kind of transparency in Australia. All we get is this.
One thing I find endlessly funny about the rise of AI is that it has revealed that there is a large number of people who believe that the reason they wrote essays at school or university is their teachers were desperately waiting for them to provide a definite answer to “Lear: what’s up with him?”
"By using AI, tasks like essays that used to take hours can be completed in minutes!" Sure, like how if I arrive at the gym and immediately go for a shower, my workout is done in record time. And if I throw my sandwiches straight in the bin, I can finish my lunch in under 10 seconds.
This apartment is absolutely stunning. But really?! $1mil for 2 bedrooms, 90sqm and no car space?? On that end of the city? Tell ‘I’m he’s dreaming.
Rib is mostly back in, so I've decided it's close enough. My physio wasn't available and the other physios weren't comfortable messing with ribs. The VVED doctor I spoke to said that she hadn't seen a subluxed rib in 25 years of emergency medicine so couldn't help either. I am psyched for PAX!
I’ve had the flu for the last couple of weeks, which has meant some pretty intense coughing. Because I have EDS, this means that I keep popping out my ribs & now some are stuck out & I can’t put them back. How many ribs getting stuck out of alignment do you think warrants medical attention?
This is true. I did say I needed more iron
They refunded just the dish and were super dismissive even after admitting it was their steel wool (in a way that suggested this happened a lot). I did not eat any more from there.
This was my feeling as well, but not how it went down.
