So the movers are here to get my shit sorted and even though they are pros and so on, I'm feeling so guilty about not having everything fully wrapped and ready to go and also feeling like I'm being judged for my things and want to hide

Cool yes three days before I move house is the perfect time for my vacuum cleaner to shit the bed. Fuck me roan.

Get this: my 1br flat in Wellington, for which I pay $385 a week, has just been let to a new tenant for:

*clears throat*

$500 per week

It is down a steep driveway, underneath a student flat, no sound insulation, no extractor fans in the kitchen or bathroom, the kitchen hasn't been reno'd since fuck knows when, and the only improvement was them installing a new toilet cistern after they got tired of having to repair the old one every six weeks

Fuuuuuck I hate packing up my house.

Anyway, I am moving back to Australia, finally.

Okay so look I didn't get to Pax so it's only today that I learned that Shannon Noll has - and please hear me when I say this - an eSports team.

The 7.10 flight from Wellington to Auckland is a great way to see a lot of Extremely Bad PowerPoint game. It's lucky I don't have a lounge pass or I'd probably have a stroke

don't get me wrong Winnie is a deeply problematic fave but this is like watching a shih tzu argue bark at a passing bus

I don't know if any of youse got around the hype for No Man's Sky when it first appeared and thoroughly disappointed people, but I'm here to tell you it's been greatly improved. Less grindy and also you can ride the animals.
