Good Bot

My sinuses are exploding today. In fucking July. What is going on.

Buena Vista Social Club 🎺 🪘 🎶

Whenever the man says "Ooo ooo I need a poo" I reply with "Unexpected item in the bagging area?".

Shiny squirtle achieved.

Ugh, need to pick a day in the very near future to go get a haircut and shave the beard off, or the folks in the office will think I've gone off the deep a little too much. Also, as it stands right now, the top half of me will be giving off The Dude while the bottom half will be screaming, "As per my last email".

Progress update on Project Upscale (thanks Rob, jeez).... 55 images done, and looking pretty good. 500 to go. Good thing I don't need my laptop for a while ....

Receipt printer at my wife's workplace refuses to print. Error light is on.

She starts panicking. So I stroll over and attempted troubleshooting, then rebooted the printer. The report she was trying to print comes out moments later.

That reminds me, a friend's shop a few years ago had a problem where one of their POS terminals refuses to talk to the EFTPOS machine. Again, a quick reboot of both devices dealt with the problem.

Chicken schnitzel burger in the works for dinner. The anticipation is killing me.

Update: I did not die. Burger has now been consumed. It was yummy.

Hello mudda, hello fadda…

Seagoon's New to me Movie. Today is "Dirty Harry". ( I hadn't seen it yet 😬)

What an incredible movie. The dialogue is a bit weird, the characterisation shallow. This is a dime store novel that could have been written in the 50s. It has a strange sense of unreality, it's cartoonish, which is interesting when you consider the late 60s , early 70s had some very good realistic cop movies. eg, Serpico and French Connection.

Dirty Harry was made when there was a public fascination with weird killers like the Zodiac killer and the hippy culture of SF. It's a bit voyeuristic. Like a dime store novel is.

But the look of the movie is what grabbed me. It has beautifully composed wide shots and some strange angles for interest. Ugly story against a beautiful backdrop, eh.

Bought myself a Kmart version of an oodie for pyjama day at work, it was on sale for $17. So super happy with it and it allows me to wash and dry and two oodies that really just need a good clean.
