Catching Up (Sept 2025)
It’s Wednesday 17th of September as I type this. I’m at home and I have just finished eating a personally made bowl of beef-flavoured 2 minute noodles, mince meat, with steamed broccoli and pasta sauce.
Simple but tasty.
A few months ago I decided to see if I could still watch old movies and TV series that I missed for whatever reason.
Right now I am preparing to watch the first season of **Space: 1999**.
Previously I had seen **Casablanca** and **Doctor Strangelove** and noticed how much they influenced **Star Wars**.
I also saw movoes like **Jaws 2**, which seems to be a study in PTSD, but also in story structure and movie making, even if the ending isn’t the best, and the original **Halloween** movie which is almost a guide on how to stalk someone.
The late **Donald Pleasence** has top billing, even before the movie’s title comes up which I find hilarious for some strange reason.
Work Matters
The reason for the delay between posts is that I have been working rather solidly over the past few weeks.
The main event has been the **Royal Adelaide Show** where I worked for 12 days straight and had 2 days of post show clean up.
You can see my YouTube video about the event here:

I had an induction to another job I wanted. The initial physicial induction was only a few hours long. The secondary online induction was really boring and took me 4 days to complete. I got paid for the initial induction today.
Last night they gave me an emergency replacement shift because someone didn’t turn up. A nice 5 hour shift. Sweet.
The job was essentially selling tickets to the carpark at the **Adelaide Entertainment Centre** and the rest was walking security laps and making sure cars didn’t run over students when the event finished.

I’ve had a few hospitality gigs at the **Morphettville Racecourse** (I’ve had to go down a pants size because I nearly had a “wardrobe malfunction” while I was carrying 3 plates during a VIP function!).
When I am not working I have been getting a friend of mine to help improve my resume and cover letters for fulltime government jobs.
Last weekend there was also the **Papercuts Comic Festival** too but I will discuss that in another blog post.
Oh and as of today I officially made it back down to 87kg, only this time with more muscle mass. Awesome stuff.
After the second episode of **Space: 1999** I’ll go for an evening walk.
Thank you for reading, upvoting, commenting and even reblogging.
Until next time…
