    Apparently Spotify has launched a new cheaper tier. It’s billed annually and not monthly. Works out to be the same price as it was before they upped the price again last month. $155 a year ($12.99 a month). The only difference besides the annual billing is that it doesn’t include audiobooks

    I don’t care for the audiobook thing, especially considering the audiobooks aren’t unlimited. So if I can scrounge up the annual fee, I might switch

    Still punching out chillies late june!

    had to clear a metric fucktonne of oxalis (again) to find them heh.

    I guess the great thing about these things being near the coast is there’s little frost.

      Woah, nice haul. Sauce or powder?

      My scotch bonnet looks like it might be permanently done after gifting me a bounty in April (it did survive falling down and having half of it torn off), might be the last year for the insanely hot Thai chilli too. But I have a tomato plant that refuses to die and still is attempting to put out flowers like what the hell bro. You can rest now

    I actually feel alive today. It’s a Christmas miracle. Might even give the floors a lick with the mop later for something exciting to do.

    Bleh. After yesterday’s nap I somehow managed to strain or pull something and some area of my neck or back shoulder is sore which unfortunately is leading to pain when I move my head.

    Taken some Panadol and nurofen but I hope it’s only an minor strain and not anything serious.

    It’s a day of keeping warm and resting today.

    Caught Perfect Days with a friend, I went in wanting to diss it tbh but came out generally enjoying it, it didn’t romanticise menial worker life in Japan as much as I expected it to and I enjoy that it didn’t infantilise the viewers. Good one to watch on the big screen and soak up the Vibes.

    Procrastinating big time on some study items that I have to put my big girl pants on and do because nobody else will and it’s self structured so up to me to figure out… So of course I end up mopping the floors which I’ve been putting off for months. It’s good though, because the house has now got a real clean energy.

    Dinner, and then I’m going to just sit in front of my laptop and force myself to read some journal articles to get the ball rolling at least.

    Despite everything that’s happened, I miss my friend.

    We’ve known each other about 5 years, and been through thick and thin. We referred to each other as family. I was there for him, and he was there for me.

    It all turned to shit pretty quickly once he got together with a new partner. We went from chatting a couple of times a week on the phone, to radio silence.

    And then all the spiteful stuff that came afterwards. ie: telling me to give up trying to get an IT gig, withdrawing his reference (knowing full well at the time that I’d be fucked without it) almost like he wants me to fail.

    I’m hurt. Deeply. And I know his new partner has something to do with it. But at the end of the day, they are his choices.

    There’s no coming back from what’s happened. The door is shut from my end.

    And so life goes on. My ability to trust in people a little more shaken.

      So many hugs.

      It’s him, really, None of what he did and said was anything like what a friend does. Not even a good ex friend would ever want you to fail.

      Some people just aren’t who we think they are, or they change. And it sucks when they’re dickheads, it hurts.

      Having said that, and experienced it, I think most people are good and kind hearted. But when we ourselves have traumatic pasts, we attract those who seek to harm us.

      Drop the turd and thrive, king 💜

    Randomly watching Lethal Weapon. Very very 80s. Especially the mood setting sax…

    Edit

    … make that sax with accompanying guitar solo
