I dreamt I had to swim up a "solid" waterfall of dirt and rocks, I would be knocked out from pain and somehow that would help me evolve

( I woke up from pain )

Now what would be the busiest road in Victoria, that is ran by a Local Government?

I'm thinking its Rosamond Road near Highpoint.

Post full on work day chippies acquired, time to finish watching Hannibal with the housemate. Kinda bummed to be finishing it, it's hands down one of my favourite shows, it's just a feast visually.

In what appears a pretty uncharacteristic move by my work, they've flown in one of my close colleagues from interstate to assist in training up a new team with me and some others. Paid for his flights and accom for 10 days plus food allowance. Very cool. Another interstate colleague I haven't met in person - but will love to - will come after him to continue helping. With the training and outings with interstate colleagues it's going to be a very social month or so for me. Already started this week. Also seemingly uncharacteristically - I'm actually really enjoying it and looking forward to more.

Still watching telly while my back is getting better. Yesterday I watched Overboard, a pleasant no thinking required movie.

Tried watching the remake today . Wow, they sure did dumb it down ( I would not have thought that possible but here we are ) while at the same time messing up introducing characters and messing up setting up the premise. wtf

A virtual gift for my 17th LJ sign up anniversary? Don’t give a flying fuck. Zero logins since the repugnant Rainbow content ban aught have taught something.

LJ is still alive after being bought over by the Russians in Ancient Times?!

I think I still get a birthday message every year, come to think of it.

I only ever associate it with the pre-smartphone era. Good times.

Oh it still exists. I ported to DreamWidth, but haven’t used that in yonks either. Only reason the account is extant is that you have to accept the homophobic TOC to login to delete. So zombie account.

Shocking to think of how it's been mangled beyond recognition from the mother of so many progressive spaces that it once was. Can't even fathom how it still exists. Conservative Russian fan spaces?? Weird...
