Really similar to yours actually.

I wouldn't say I hate her but I get super stressed and tense whenever she is around.

---

Husikam
...Believes in Patterns

The tone and pacing are horrendous.

A few of the cast are good but overall it left a sour taste.

I played it through again earlier this year and it hasn't aged very well.

One of my best mates in NZ is from Bendigo, very distinct Aussie accent.

Cover in oil, chuck in the oven.

Have you spent much time in South Australia btw? Adelaide was a shithole except for the Fringe fest but 30 mins south was fucking unreal.

Pinotage (aka Husikam) and I go way back. This dude traveled Europe working in vineyards, surviving on grapes and shit. He's cool.

Grapes and shit do not constitute a good diet, let me tell you.

Query: who here is married/engaged? I had a ripper of a proprosal lined up as we were due to be doing el Camino de Santiago right now and I knew a lovely spot. Now we're stuck in rural New Zealand I'm brainstorming a cool ass way to propose.

Maybs something involving a kayak to the whops, nature is good yeah.

It's up for streaming on their bandcamp, youtube and digital download, but imagine Spotify won't be far off for you guys if we've got it already.

It's on Spotify here in New Zealand, but didn't pop up until this morning.

Spotify may not be as flexible with the release date moving back so maybe it'll roll through at midnight EST.

Kezia is still one of my favourite albums of all time - I bought the vinyl the other week, it's stunning.

It's mindblowing it was made by a bunch of teenagers.

Up.

@Pinotage anywhere near you

I used to cycle out this way when I was training. Crazy, stuff like this doesn't happen back here so a rude awakening.

This and COVID coming back has certainly put people on edge after the post-COVID honeymood period has worn off.

Really digging how cohesive it is, espesh compared to some earlier stuff.

Marvelous album, my favourite since Fortress.

i know the snarky iwc are shitting all over that tag line (and the wrestlers too) but i imagine it'll have some hook for the casual viewer who isn't prone to over analyzing

Life is pretty normal now.

Hell, we had a live sport in front of a sellout crowd. In a way it's nice being able to do the tourist things around home without the hordes of people (although obviously I'm very aware how crucial tourism is).

Is widow maker translated as el viudero or something like el hacedor de viudas?

Need a new name for my frisbee.

We're shooting for around $20K next year.

I work as a winemaker so can sort booze cheap and venue. Food trucks are real popular here right now and are pretty cost effective so may roll with that too.

How many nights a week do you cook for the family?

Oh I did play Chess.com earlier this year, I got to about 1150 rating on the 3 day games but started to struggle against the 1400+ players I kept being put up against.

Learning time, thanks gang.

Husikam

I don't know what USCF means so no, most certainly not.

Looks good, appreciate it m8.

---

Husikam

I can play but want to learn to play well.

I already have Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess.

---

Husikam

He was a nice guy.

Will be jamming online a bit next week if anyone wants a southern hemisphere island to come to consistently.

Every three days with clippers, basically maintaining stubble.

I thought this was a topic about blowjobs.

Actual sloppy joes look gross.

We don't accept Bale as English.

Sorry I misread topic as fav British actor, I always thought of Bale as Welsh, not English.

It was set in Spain.

Great film regardless.

---

Husikam
...Believes in Patterns

Thanks all - I'll post my thoughts in here as I watch through them, likely in chronological order skipping the ones I've already seen.

---

Husikam
...Believes in Patterns

Be good to start getting an ear for the language, but there's a lot of shit to sift through.

Your favs?

What I've recently seen and enjoyed:
Y tu mam tambin (Alfonso Cuarn is great, I've seen Roma too but didn't love it as much)
Sin Nombre (prob a top 10 film, I absolutely adored this)
Amores Perros (Alejandro Gonzlez Irritu is utterly fantastic, really enjoyed Biutiful too)

Gael Garca Bernal is pretty fantastic huh.

I've watched through all Guillermo del Toro's films too, all pretty good. Cronos was a helluva ride and has held up fairly well.

Teriyaki eel is fantastic.

---

Husikam

One of the worst movies in years.

---

Husikam

I haven't really given it much thought, I always assumed it was just geared towards 50+ year old single women.

Chicken is likely the most versatile but I fucking love pork belly, especially in Asian style cooking.
