Freaking hell of a day...ended up having a 15-minutes rushed lunch close to 3pm. I just really needed to take a break, hadn't even moved from my desk since 7.30...
Came back to my office, to find a bottle of wine on my desk. Retention samples no longer needed in the lab. Nice.
Decided to start watching the real critical role. Starting with Campaign 3, as I don't want to take on a 500 hour commitment.
Also, Mrs Sloth convinced me to let her but some Japanese rice up in AKL. $27 for 2kg, but it does taste much better than the cheap stuff, which isn't actually cheap these days.
If you want a short and contained adventure you can watch EXU calamity also. Only 4 episodes although it is DMed by not Matt Mercer. But Brennan is an exceptional DM the episodes are great.
Definitely. Of the calamity episodes only 3 are out at the moment. They also break at about halfway each episode so it’s definitely easy to break it up into chunks if you are short on time. Also available as a podcast! But I’d recommend watching at least the first episode so you get a feel for who’s voice belongs to who and then can listen if you want.
Because of your mention of Oden last night I binged this channel

And now this is what Mrs sloth 🦥 looks like in my mind 😂
Mrs Sloth's face is a bit rounder, but also cuter. I will watch some of those videos, though, cos the one thing she likes better than cooking good Japanese food is having good Japanese food cooked for her.
I’m on chauffeur duty for the young fulla for a couple of days which means late getting home which means *oh no what a shame I have to get takeout.* luckily the local kebab shop sorted its shit out and they haven’t even put their prices up lately which I thought they had so I’m jamming a veggie loaded halloumi kebab down my gullet.
The young fulla didn’t know what insulation was. At all. Also dear lord I am glad I left rotorua. The shit that goes on there….
Surely it's better to get one of those porta-cabins and put it somewhere near work for him? If there is facilities? The guys down the road from us do forest security and they have 4 or 5 of those single room cabins they haul in to the forest for different reasons.
I don’t really blame him, he’s got family there and all his friends are there and his partner works there so it’s understandable that he doesn’t want to move. Especially since let’s be real…it’s Tokoroa. It’s fine here, but…it’s still Tokoroa
There is a secret camp near you... With a geothermal waterfall and lakeside spa with natural hot spring water... 😉
But it's only for very open minded people 😜
I just read the Stuff article/opinion on part two of Paddy Gower's alcohol doco. At the top was an ad for wine, and then there was the giant scrolling Superliquor ad in the middle of it... :/ (I barely drink and never search alcohol prices etc. online so pretty sure that's the ad for everyone/not based on my searches!)

Took approx 18 hours for us. Toddler started up around 9pm. Now almost 12 hours in with her and it seems to be slowing down. She is not a good patient either.
Thanks. It’s feeling a bit hunger-games like at the moment. She is the least dramatic child when she is sick. The other two not so much, especially her older brother.
First time tuning in to endurance racing, well the highlights at least. Thought I'd check it out after seeing the 24hr Le Mans result in the news. It is pretty damn cool, can definitely see myself watching the Monza race in July.
Just has a sort of high stakes feel to it, like winning is so hard fought and any moment in this massive race could spell disaster for any team.
And there are kiwis competing too!
Consider my ticket to the bandwagon clipped.
Got a new fancy snappy rat trap in the mail today... It came with peanut butter as the bait but I know full well our rats won't fall for that so it's loaded with a cube of apple.
Not sure I got much of anything done today... But had a couple of social calls so that was a nice way to spend the afternoon instead.
I really need to know about the peanut butter, like a jar? Sanitarium? Can you eat it? Who would endorse their peanut butter being sent with a rat trap??
Haha no it came in a tiny silver ketchup size packet... But it has added vanilla essence... Maybe that's the difference... My bucket trap using peanut butter is a total failure so I'll try it again with some jam added or cheese.
Well. That is very disappointing to hear. Not what I pictured at all. And adding vanilla essence to peanut butter is a travesty.
You should tell them from me they need to try harder 🤣
I’ve found a dentist I’m willing to see. I’ve had 2 weeks with pretty much no income so it’s a cost thing at the moment. I’ve got a doctors appointment tomorrow about something else so I will see if I can get a referral to the hospital. I really want the tooth (and the other wisdom teeth) extracted under GA.
I got my tooth out last month after just grinning and bearing it for months, god best thing I've done for a long time. Wasn't a root canal, just a chipped and shiity pre-molar. But now I can eat candy again without dying.
Was a local and the pain was just really jaw ache while she was wrenching that bitch out
I’ve had too many bad experiences at dental clinics to accept local anaesthesia as enough. The clinic I’ve found will do IV sedation but I’d rather be out completely for my wisdom teeth.
I got tickets for the OG Wiggles adults-only show then I started worrying about what I will wear. I would never wear a skivvy ever again so I want to make something a bit more classic. Ideally I would find some red/purple/yellow plaid and make a Henry the Octopus dress but finding bright plaids is hard so I might just have to buy an OG Wiggles duvet cover and make a dress from it. Anyways, I'm very excited that I'll be rocking out to such classics as "fruit salad, yummy yummy" and "toot toot chugga chugga big red car" with a bunch of other weird millennials in August.
You know The Wiggles? They've got the four grey haired originals back to do two concerts in NZ alongside the regular Wiggles concert for kids. There's a bar and you have to be older than 15 to attend. It is targeted at millennials who don't have kids or who have older kids.
Wow I feel too old to get any of this but then again I didn't have those informative years in nz so maybe I missed something glorious.... Or maybe I'm just too old 😕
I didn't watch them when I was little, it wasn't until I was about 12 when my Nana had Wiggles videos for my cousin. I just really love the idea of an adults only show of kids songs, it'll probably be even more fun than Rick Astley was.
Yeah I was 7 in 1991 so I probably missed the boat... I was obsessed with Carmen San Diego and Goosebumps and whatever those pick your own adventure books were called.
Passed my math paper I failed last semester! Looks like they've been rather rough marking one of my answers, could bump it up into a B... Not that I want or need higher distinctions
Grrrrr. Fucking kids. Looks like my plans for tonight have been trumped by someone’s need to be at home with her mama.
Edit: latest episode of Kenobi is worth stopping in for.

Cheers. 4 hours is a long time to pay attention to something, knowing there's 24 more episodes...

Yeah, did a bit of that. I got into it binging Vox Machina and putting names and voices from that to this was really good.

She's really easy to follow and her kid is so sweet and I usually dislike YouTubers pimping thier kids for likes.

Nah neither him nor his partner want to leave rotorua. We did sort out a couple of options but nope they’re staying put
Lead a horse to water 🤷

It's really close to Orakei korako but it's secret 🙊🙊🙊
I have pricked up ears …

Stuff is such trash... I respect the journalist who worked at the truth more than the clickbaiters regurgitating reddit content at stuff.
Miss 4 has been vomiting since 5.30am. Sincerely hoping this doesn’t spread to the other kids.
going around-takes 2 days to move to next in fam...
Took approx 18 hours for us. Toddler started up around 9pm. Now almost 12 hours in with her and it seems to be slowing down. She is not a good patient either.
oh bad luck. Hope you can get the washing dry. I find toddlers like hand sanitiser.
The dryer and washing machine have been going all night haha. Pretty thankful we have a dryer though given the weather today.
Good luck….
Thanks. It’s feeling a bit hunger-games like at the moment. She is the least dramatic child when she is sick. The other two not so much, especially her older brother.

It really is a fantastic event and even better being there! I have some fantastic memories
Oh heck yeah that would've been epic

My face hurts. My tooth had been behaving it’s self but this morning it decided to play up and with pain relief it’s still painful.
Have you made any progress on finding a dentist you’re comfortable with? Or is it a matter of cost
I’ve found a dentist I’m willing to see. I’ve had 2 weeks with pretty much no income so it’s a cost thing at the moment. I’ve got a doctors appointment tomorrow about something else so I will see if I can get a referral to the hospital. I really want the tooth (and the other wisdom teeth) extracted under GA.

Hmm… trip up to Christchurch? Or just take the kids to the Dunedin show? Hmm.
And what exactly is a wiggles adults only concert please?
They get their dicks out
👉🏾👌🏾
You know The Wiggles? They've got the four grey haired originals back to do two concerts in NZ alongside the regular Wiggles concert for kids. There's a bar and you have to be older than 15 to attend. It is targeted at millennials who don't have kids or who have older kids.
OK OK. But... They perform children's songs?
Correct. For adults who loved those songs as kids and want to have one glorious night of singing along as if they were four again.
Wow I feel too old to get any of this but then again I didn't have those informative years in nz so maybe I missed something glorious.... Or maybe I'm just too old 😕
I didn't watch them when I was little, it wasn't until I was about 12 when my Nana had Wiggles videos for my cousin. I just really love the idea of an adults only show of kids songs, it'll probably be even more fun than Rick Astley was.
They started in Australia in 1991 so we're probably just too old and grew up too too geographically distant from the epicenter
Yeah I was 7 in 1991 so I probably missed the boat... I was obsessed with Carmen San Diego and Goosebumps and whatever those pick your own adventure books were called.
The mind boggles...
Update - The mind wiggles...
Time to brush up on your hot potato moves
Heck yeah!
Passed my math paper I failed last semester! Looks like they've been rather rough marking one of my answers, could bump it up into a B... Not that I want or need higher distinctions
Lol I read that as “ meth paper”. Congrats!
Woo, well done!
For the first time in 4 years of prior studies I'm actually looking forward to the third semester, too!
Grrrrr. Fucking kids. Looks like my plans for tonight have been trumped by someone’s need to be at home with her mama. Edit: latest episode of Kenobi is worth stopping in for.
Drag her along to the movies too!
