So I mentioned in passing to wifey that I'm thinking about getting a buzzcut when the weather gets warmer.

She's urging me to do it, and is now offering to shave my head...

Be prepared with a beanie for when the weather turns cold unexpectedly.

Do it. Last 20 years = cheap haircuts (especially if you do yourself in the end), quick dry post shower/swim etc, no thought about actual hair style, built in fidget toy after fresh cut. Hair life is good.

No one happens to have a resin 3d printer? I can't get replies from any of the facebook ads for it. I'm looking to print a DnD mini, pro places seem to want $50+ for it, I can get it posted from hero forge for that, and I don't want to spend that much.

It's gotten to the point where it's too cold to get out of bed, but it's also too cold in bed so I just kinda push through and get up anyways

TV and Movie review.

Locke and Key, Netflix. Billed as the next Narnia, it was not even close. Not really a kid's show, not really an adult's show either. Might have been a lot better if it was all done from the kid's perspective. 2 hobbits.

The Long Trench, Netflix. Life under Franco's fascism. So many lives wasted.

Please think hard who you vote for at the next election.

4 hobbits

Had to battle the ring road at peak hour this afternoon. Haven’t had to do it in a long time and can report it’s as stuffed as ever. Glad its not a daily commute. Dinner saved the day, lamb cutlets, mash and veg followed by an apple crumble.

the ring road

Just gave me flashbacks to Dad losing his shit at morons and bad drivers while driving along that road πŸ˜‚

I mean, he still does it, but now it's Eastern Freeway. He just can't help himself lol!

Oh, that is not fun. I was on it the other day and experienced the once car per green light entry system for the first time, then got to sit in very slow traffic banked up from the Greensborough Hwy exit.

I have an assignment due at midnight. It's quarter past 11. Fml.

I already got an extension on it and is bound to be overdue. I need a certain average to keep the option of getting into honours open but I've already fucked up and let the shit I've gone through fuck me up. There's always the option of pursuing research later down the line if that's what I want to do.

Maybe it would be better if I went to sleep and got up early to work on it, taking the 10%.

I have another assignment due on Monday. I have had so much time to do them but I've spent all this time wallowing in self-pity. I am so mad at how I've let this stuff affect me. Another failed uni semester!

Don't let guys get in the way of study. A good guy never will.

The worst will interrupt you all the time so you can't get anything done. Will make drama that distracts you from your aim. Might even get nasty and sabotage you if you persist. Might start using put downs.

An example of subtle sabotage is organising an event when you have classes or work to do and expects you to come.

Do not blame yourself. If he is out the house and you are in no danger be done with him and get to work.
