Did a gig on Thursday night with the most awful, belligerent, selfish person in the audience. EVERYONE hated her. Kind of nice to be united against someone like that. I saw a nice sunset yesterday, and a nice one on Saturday too - forgot to talk about that! Too busy getting mad at idiots.

I've been waking up at 7am all week, not for any particular reason, but just because I figure it's good to wake up early and get a start on the day. I don't have any real reason to get up early, so I tend to sleep in until 9 or so if I let myself, and then I get grumpy that I don't get started until midday. I thought maybe this could be a way to change that? It's been wonderful, I go on morning walks, come home, have breakfast and coffee, and it's still only 8:30!

In 2012 when I moved to Melbourne I stayed for two months in a hostel called Melbourne Connection Backpackers' Hostel on the corner of Lt Bourke and King St in the city. The other day I walked past and saw that it has been turned into an Indian restaurant. Yesterday I spoke to an old boy about growing up in Coburg in the 60s, 70s and 80s, and how the area has and hasn't changed. It just keeps going, hey!

I'm in a van in a rest stop on the middle of nowhere, looking up at the stars after a long day of driving. It's beautiful out here! I've had a great day driving across South Australia and into Victoria, asking people about the Indigenous history of the place and walking around next to the river. Doesn't get much better than this to be honest.

The heat is killing me. Or maybe it's the copious amounts of alc-free beer I drank the other day for video content to promote my show? Does that stuff make your body slow? Who knows man. Either way, please enjoy half an hour of me having a big fat whinge about it! I sure did. 

I've had an idea to promote my show where I review an alc-free drink every day for the month of March in the lead-up to Melbourne Comedy Festival, but the catch is I film all the reviews in one sitting hahahaha. #stillnotdrunk - that's what I'm going to call it. Happy Valentine's Day!

Sunday was my 32nd birthday! I had a wonderful day with friends, had a great show, and then spent Monday on Rottnest Island riding bikes and swimming in the ocean. Fantastic! Of course, given all of that, I spent a large portion of this podcast yelling at Australia Post. Pretty standard stuff, really.

On Saturday night we had a party at the house, with the theme being 'Demons and Angels'. I'd put off deciding on a costume all week until Saturday morning, and after being quoted $55 from a costume store to hire a nun's outfit, I decided to cobble something together myself. Long story short, I spent $2 on a tube of red poster paint, slathered my body in it, then chucked on some ripped slacks and a suit jacket, and there I was, a demon!

Last week I told ChatGPT the online chatbot a story about my childhood and it told me that what my parents decided to do was "not an appropriate way to deal with..." the situation. Isn't that wild! A computer giving moral judgements out like free sweets at a blood clinic! Feels like when the therapist takes your side in the argument, but better, because this therapist is A COMPUTER!!
