Came third at brewery trivia. New format, so couldn’t bring the a-game, also there was sport AND a music round which was about 40% breathy close-to-the-microphone female artists from the last five years, a glaring hole in my knowledge areas.
Also I am apparently bleeding because I scratched a hole in my arm while focusing on other stuff, is this another ADHD thing or one of those “go get that ASD assessment you’ve been told to get several times now” things?

I am very rarely enthused about seeing a movie in an actual cinema, but I just booked two LUX tickets for Nosferatu on New Year's Day, and we're absolutely going to suit up, take an Uber to the venue and get cocktailed up to fuck.
I don't think it'll be a patch on the original B&W movie at The Sydney Opera House with a live soundtrack by Darth Vegas, but nevertheless I intend to enjoy.

I don’t think it’ll fundamentally change much, but it would maybe allow me to be less hard on myself about how I react to some situations, and maybe avoid them in the first place?

Since I’m lying down trying not to hurl, I finally got round to doing an online autism spectrum questionnaire, which a GP friend sent me like three months ago.
No substitute for an actual diagnosis, I know but it’s a baby step towards actually doing something.
Anyway I think I won.

It'll probably happen in the middle of the day while I'm in a work video meeting and I'll have to explain I'm logging off and taking the rest of the day because the death champagne just unlocked.

Thinking of doing a little IoT project with a mini fridge, an arduino, a controllable lock and a little news scanning Lambda function
Bottle of very nice champagne goes into mini fridge. Fridge is locked. Arduino calls out occasionally to a web service which maintains a list of complete fucking arseholes who aren't dead yet.
When one of them dies, the arduino sends a message to my phone, sets off a party popper and unlocks the fridge.

Oh, and apparently I can deal with loud music in a pub if it's a band I like.

2024-12-05 04:32:47

I don't know why but I am far less tolerant of unwanted sensory stimuli than when I was under 40.
I've been shrugging it off - post ADHD diagnosis - as "COVID took away my coping strategies", but... I dunno, maybe I was always like this but considered masking to be an acceptable trade-off?
Like, I can absolutely deal with a loud concert or nightclub _if I want to be there_. If the noise is incidental or unnecessary or unexpected, then I head rapidly down Panic Attack Alley.

I fleetingly just though about opening an archery/axe throwing/shooting venue for these events called “Objectively Dangerous Shit But You Will Not Die If You Follow The Rules” then realised no single neurotypical person would pay for that.

I just saw one of the staff literally “coaching” a couple of poor throwers from about 2m *in front of them* while their arms were raised ready to throw and that shit would not fly on an archery range.

4. This axe throwing venue makes my inner archery coach flinch with shooting line violations

2024-12-04 23:47:08

Notes to self:
1. Axe throwing is not good
2. Throwing axes? That’s fine. It’s *axe throwing* that’s the problem
3. Guven the sensory overload I just experienced, I should definitely book in that ASD assessment I was told to get like three months ago.

I'm gonna be in Sydney for a few days next week but I've decided when I get back I'm going to practice making naan (gluten-free, naturally).
Never done one before, obviously don't have a tandoor at home, only a standard, not-hot-enough domestic oven, but I've found a couple of recipes that reckon you can do an acceptable version on a smoking hot skillet, which I definitely have under control.
Given that I've now pinned down a good version of Dal Makhani and Aloo Bonda, why wouldn't I expand the repertoire? That'll be a great little meal

The test is "do you vote for the fascist?"
The answer is ALWAYS NO. It is VERY SIMPLE. YOU SAY NO AND YOU VOTE THE OTHER WAY.

First Piano lesson with a human this coming Monday.
I'm hoping my answer to the signup form wasn't too bizarre.
The question was something like "do you have musical experience and what are your goals?" and oh Jesus fucking H Christ don't ask neurodiverse people an open question like that. Because you end up with shit like this:
- Yes, I definitely have musical experience.
- Yes, I can play music, for a given value of music
- Yes, I have played live and I have had my horrible playing featured on national radio
- No, I'm shit at keyboard instruments, I know which note is which and I can use keyboards for background colour on recorded tracks but that's about it
- I have MANY OPINIONS ON WHAT MY GOALS SHOULD BE
- I can play the melody to Particle Man. Not on my accordion though, which annoys the fuck out of me. I can play it on Melodica, but I slur notes a lot.
- I would like to be able to play Oscillate Wildly by The Smiths
- I will get horrifyingly bored if we go too slow.
- I will get horrifyingly frustrated if we go too fast.
- I would like to be able to sing and play "Dead" by They Might Be Giants at any given public piano in a train station or airport.
- My left/right independence does not kick in immediately. I can't play a syncopated bass line then immediately go play a syncopated drum part. Because my hands and feet can't change modes. I can do the drum thing if I have a warm up, with like a 70% hit rate.

I can probably justify the guitars and basses. I’m ok with those. I can probably even justify the drum kit and the trigger pads and the huge pedal board which I hardly ever plug in since my band fizzled out.

The sheer number of people who cannot reason their way through a simple visit to the supermarket amazes me every time.
- Cannot plan getting into a parking space, cannot figure out one-way systems, don't leave room for the car in front, need to take three attempts at a simple space entry
- Stand still in groups blocking the entire travelator - a device, I'll remind everyone, is meant to move people QUICKER. Want to stand still? Use the fucking lift, it's RIGHT THERE. People should walk on travelators, OR STAY TO ONE SIDE. I'VE LIVED IN LONDON YOU FUCKS I KNOW THE RULES
- Stopping dead on exiting the travelator or escalator, unable to decide on a direction in which to move, and causing potential pile-ups because the movement of people behind you WILL NOT STOP YOU UTTER MORONS
- Stopping dead on entering the supermarket, likewise
- unable to decide on a product to find, blocking the entire aisle by placing trolleys sideways or in bottlenecks
- changing their minds on what they're buying, scattering unrelated products all over the place like insane truffle hogs who found a gram of coke before hitting the woods
- Sudden direction changes or dead stops from a previous purposeful walk, pile-up ensues
- finding broken eggs in a carton, PUTTING IT BACK ON THE SHELF WITH THE LID CLOSED
- leaving empty coffee cups on the shelf
- can't queue
- can't operate a self checkout
- does not know where their payment card is, faffing about for minutes trying to find it when YOU KNEW YOU'D NEED IT YOU DUMB FUCKS
- more travelator hell, this time with people juggling badly packed bags and fractious children who didn't want to come to the supermarket anyway it's BORING DAD I'M BORED
- more car park hell
Fuck all this shit. I only had to go because Ashley finished off all the eggs at 4am.

Completely over today. Unproductive, frustrating, painful (busted ankle), shit weather, partner on a flare-up day and bed-bound. Dogs haven’t been walked for a couple of days and being annoying little arseholes.
It’s one of those “chuck everything off the balcony and set it on fire” days.
Can’t even leap spectacularly off the wagon because my busted ankle has gone from “sprained” to “sprain probably aggravated by gout symptoms” because I’m old and my kidneys suck at their job. So if I get drunk I’m likely to make things worse.

Remember when you could just buy a newspaper for like $1 at a shop?
Imagine if you went to the newsagent and they were like “$25 please”
“Huh? That’s steep”
“Oh that gives you a month of access”
“I don’t want a month of access, i want a newspaper”
“We’ll also flyer your house every day”
“I don’t care, I just want a newspaper. Today’s newspaper”
“You also get access to our other newspapers in other towns”
“I don’t care, I want a newspaper for here, today”
“Oh it’s not just for today. It’s for a month. And three months after”
“Wait, what happens after that, is that it over?”
“LOL of course not. It’s $35 a month after that”
“What? Why?”
“Introductory offer. Also we’ll tell a bunch of other companies where you live and THEY’LL flyer you too”
“Know what, it’s fine, I don’t need a paper”
“I’ll send you a reminder in a week”
“STOP. FFS”
And they wonder why online news makes no money.
