Confirmed bachelor. Cautious explorer, often scuppered by anxiety. Fan of (some) TV science fiction, and historical dramas. Prefer tea to booze. In Victoria, on Melbourne’s outskirts. On Twitter and Mastodon.

If you’re looking for something that kinda feels like Buffy, I’d recommend Midnight, Texas. Just finished watching it and was good enough.

What I don’t get about stuff like this, and other things on places like Reddit where straight guys fantasise about anal. Why jump straight to getting pegged? Surely you’d give yourself a bit of a finger first, or play solo with a dildo or butt plug?

Prometheus for me is one of my favourite ships. For how ugly and practical it is. It’s clearly the Tau’ri’s first attempt at a ship. And inside that constant thrum of noise, and how everything is chunky, practical and off the shelf, a ship clearly built with a budget in mind.

Awoke with quite an erection this morning. But also needed to pee. Thankfully the cold dealt with the former.

Ugh, the pain in my coccyx from that sort of fall (going down wooden stairs at a friend’s place).

I think the mark of a good sex toy online store is if you can filter by material.

Boris stroked Jacob’s balding morass of hair, glad he still had his, &wondered how much Jacob could see sans glasses. Caressing the cheek of the he whispered economical epithets in Latin to him, suggesting they could measure their hard, rigid members in imperial, not the woke metric EU measurements.

I think it’s the fantasy element and lack of interrogating how those elements work that doesn’t do it for me in Star Wars. That how can you have the science fiction elements with the magic. I like magic stories, urban fantasy too where it buts up against science.

I’m pretty sure they said in a recent video that they were going to, but were still deciding if it was going to be episode by episode or chunks of it.

Going through emails. Bonus 10% off from Lovehoney, will have to have a browse and see if there’s anything interesting.

I just cannot get into the Star Wars universe. It’s right up my lane, big science fiction universe. Long form stories that aren’t just the movies. But I just can’t engage with any of it. Star Trek, love it. But Star Wars, I can’t suspend my disbelief, can’t relax into watching / enjoying it.

Yeah, underwear would be wholesome compared to some of the cock shots that were here in the early days of BS.

I still think this of myself, and it’s led to some terrible dates because I’ve not thought I’m worthy. One of the worst was a guy, whom I worked out was a feeder. I made a quick exit through the cafe’s kitchen, and that fucked with my self image and trust for a while.

Watched Doctor Who; kinda feel like this series has said it doesn’t need to wholly make sense. As long as the experience is fun and engaging. You can revisit it, pull it apart, maybe write new stories to plug the holes. It’s kinda like the classic series, but knowingly doing it.

If that had existed I think my parents would’ve wanted that for me. Although I was allowed to get the bus around the local area and train to the city but only when I was 16 or 17.

I am so glad the most prominent social media / tech thing when I was in high school was MSN Messenger, Geocities and barely MySpace. Must be awful now.

You can set most washing machines on a timer so they can start just before you’re up. To try and get an additional load of washing in during the day. Or so it’s not on when people’re asleep.

Windy and cold made me awaken from my slumber this morning early; listened to the buffeting of the weather before properly arising.

I looked at several solutions to my (dirty) laundry including a very nice, albeit expensive Joseph Joseph one, and ended up with an IKEA PURRPINGLA laundry bag.

They seem to periodically give out premium memberships, especially if you’ve not logged in for ages, to try and tempt people back.

I use YouTube Premium because I watch a lot of YouTube and it comes with YouTube Music, so it’s two services for the one price.

That there’s people that can’t even get basic things like this in order in their life, I despair at. And he’s driving around a heavy EV, probably under the belief that it can drive itself so he’s not paying any attention to the road.

Sitting in my motel room in West Wyalong I was trying to recall why I booked this particular one. Then I remembered. It was the cheapest. It’s perfectly fine, dated, concrete brick block construction, but it’s perfectly fine. I’ve stayed in much worse places.

I don’t get how he can keep doing that, is he just an idiot or doesn’t care, or doesn’t realise he’s not getting notification emails when he signs up to things?

It was nice to see a different body type of dancers. Nothing wrong with pale lithe twinks, but this was nice.
