I have decided to try cutting out caffeine for a while. I've been reducing my intake for a couple of weeks, with the intention that after today I will not have any more. The temptation to have another coffee is very real.

Hectic week is just over. I'm drop dead tired, will miss having people to check in with. But also glad to be back in my own space and participating in things from a distance rather than being expected to compete with the popular and the pretty. Also I'd be glad not to go into the cbd for a good month or so. I'm so over it

I've asked the man to keep it down out there while he mows because I'm about to have a nap. AITA.

Off to Prahan, just for one thing but it's like an hour each way. Good thing I remembered my earphones, would have been quite upset otherwise haha

Maybe this a QLD school thing but does anyone remember having to learn to dance in high school? Like you'd learn the waltz and one other dance (mine was the cha cha) and then to pass you had to dance with the sports teacher (male teacher for the girls, female sport teacher for the boys).

Friend of mine just gave me a wild flashback to that part of my schooling, and adult me is thinking how fkn wild it was you had to get handsy with a teacher for a few minutes in the name of education.

That sounds hilarious. The only dance I learned in school PE was the nut bush.

God no. Didn't even do dance in high school.

It was a mandatory part of year 8/9 Phys Ed (usually somewhere in semester 1), you couldn't attend the mid-year school dance if you didn't pass.

Had that at my high school for sure. Edit: Vic HS, it was a physical education topic

I generally see every superhero movie on either the day it's released or even the night before if that's available (yes even Morbius), but I think I might just not go see Madame Web. It's not like I don't have the time or the money. I just don't have the urge. I think there might be something about Dakota Johnson which just rubs me the wrong way. That and after watching the trailer I feel like I can put the pieces of the movie together myself.

Has anyone here seen it and care to give non-spoilery thoughts?

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

The trailer put me off in a big way. I think it's going to become another meme.

Ended up making the trip in with my kids to listen from the park. Was worth it (kids thought it was awesome) - I'd say probably 15k people outside....

And this guy - just grooving from the back
