And so I'm looking up the effects of radishes on sleep due to me having consumed a radish before going to bed.

Not looked up - effects of insufficient sleep, effects of stress, effects of alcohol consumption, effects of waiting for banh mi Friday on sleep

This is a fun metric I can absolutely tolerate in the high stakes / low validity world of Gen AI benchmarking ๐ŸŽ‰

"Genital piercings are so cool" everyone* says, until the threaded ball becomes loose and falls in the toilet and needs to be retrieved, then it's all "No I don't want to shake hands with you, also why did you tell me the story of retrieving your jewellery from the toilet then ask to shake hands?!"

Fixation food? What's that? (All the while just wanting to eat Aldi seaweed rice crackers and hummus)

I dreamt last night I went and signed on to do another degree.

I awoke in a cold sweat with a feeling of dread

My self confidence is unparalleled. On changing code, I verbally commented to myself "Okie doke, how bad did We fuck this?"

I don't know how I'm considered responsible enough to review a PhD thesis, but here I am, doing so close to midnight, while listening to all manner of noise to keep me focussed ๐Ÿ˜…

So Persian rugs and dark stained cube shelving. I didn't have this on my post 40s queer bingo card ๐Ÿ˜…

...Ah. And as we all know, the first step in unlocking a new kink is to joke about a kink...

So, maybe a kink thing? ๐Ÿค”

The receptionist at my dentist knows my voice. I didn't need to say who I was or when my appointment was. She knew.

Am I...am I going to the dentist TOO much?*

*But also, yes as my spenny bones were in not a particularly good state. It's not a kink thing

After being in 8 - 12 / 10 pain last week after a wisdom tooth removal, and having the hole packed yesterday, this week I get to remember what it's like being 16, smoking clove cigarettes

Ah yes, a sour beer that looks like cordial, smells like vomit and tastes like nothing.

Do you ever just rub your arm like an IV drug user and wonder if somewhere there's a parallel universe version of you having an interesting time?

Time series modelling is consistently asking yourself "where have I fucked up" when the predictions are good

Achievement unlocked - Hanging garden hose installed.

Second achievement unlocked - Resisting the urge to say "Look at all my hose"

I got them from Military1st (ick name but good range?). Brandit Tactical Boots

I have wanted boots with quick laces and no zip ๐Ÿ˜„

A new pair of combat boots that don't have a footpad made of concrete? Bliss. My calves, hips and lower back are so relaxed right now ๐Ÿซ

What's happened to me? Home by 11 on a Saturday. Currently eating string beans while waiting for dumplings, broccoli and peas to steam.

Actually, NM. I'm content here

I'm going to sleep with my blinds open. Will I be woken up by sunshine or my own internal demons screaming at 3am so I'm not able to sleep until sunrise? Who knows? ๐Ÿ˜…

Unrelated, I don't understand how folks without a nesting partner sleep in the middle of the bed. I've always had a side

Oh look, I finally chose a line with something (queer enby agnostic joke there)

I never imagined a large part of my current life would consist of looking up second hand rugs on the internet
