Last Notes npub17w9jlr8w5v59evaszfrgthz00xme3tma9dx5p54c7aqa65v0jwts8qpnkq Alex the Naught Honestly a little jealous of Chris Minns' hair. npub17w9jlr8w5v59evaszfrgthz00xme3tma9dx5p54c7aqa65v0jwts8qpnkq Alex the Naught Forgot to close the screen door leading out to my balcony, and an arachnid with an abdomen the size of a meatball just sauntered in. Went to fetch my Tupperware of Destiny and it's filled with pickles. 😧 npub17w9jlr8w5v59evaszfrgthz00xme3tma9dx5p54c7aqa65v0jwts8qpnkq Alex the Naught I got to boop a kangaroo's nose today, and this is the face she made after. https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/115/834/531/876/568/387/original/753c4abd4b50c9a3.jpg npub17w9jlr8w5v59evaszfrgthz00xme3tma9dx5p54c7aqa65v0jwts8qpnkq Alex the Naught Do you wear a wristwatch? I've always been curious as to why people do. I've certainly seen some beautiful watches, like some of the Omegas from the 1920s and other vintage art nouveau pieces, but I could never bring myself to strap a clock to my wrist. Is it the aesthetics, the practicality? npub17w9jlr8w5v59evaszfrgthz00xme3tma9dx5p54c7aqa65v0jwts8qpnkq Alex the Naught Over the course of the last year, I stopped trying to be understandable. I stopped translating my insights through alien symbols. I stopped teaching people how to respect or care about me. And a lot of people stopped wanting to understand me. Many are now gone. But new people have come into my life, and they are interested in understanding me. And they make the effort to do so, so there's parity. It's a slow, careful process—but it's a good one. 2025 has been good to me. I think 2026 will be even better. https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/115/806/889/781/335/521/original/b704401be289fef6.jpg npub17w9jlr8w5v59evaszfrgthz00xme3tma9dx5p54c7aqa65v0jwts8qpnkq Alex the Naught Always a treat to catch an owl https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/115/782/850/637/600/030/original/f66bda19c55886f1.jpg npub17w9jlr8w5v59evaszfrgthz00xme3tma9dx5p54c7aqa65v0jwts8qpnkq Alex the Naught Just crashed a golden retriever's birthday party https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/115/761/384/188/600/793/original/a73613995aaf53fd.jpg npub17w9jlr8w5v59evaszfrgthz00xme3tma9dx5p54c7aqa65v0jwts8qpnkq Alex the Naught There's a cicada peering into my lounge, and he's waving at me.

I've had these books for a quarter century, and they followed me through three countries. I'm a bit obsessed. https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/115/682/861/193/337/330/original/a2c6c2dfd855e9a5.jpg npub17w9jlr8w5v59evaszfrgthz00xme3tma9dx5p54c7aqa65v0jwts8qpnkq Alex the Naught Why do ice pops take so long to freeze? This is my major problem today. I'm doing all right. https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/115/680/889/072/739/400/original/d30444a641718881.jpg npub17w9jlr8w5v59evaszfrgthz00xme3tma9dx5p54c7aqa65v0jwts8qpnkq Alex the Naught Sitting around the house impatiently waiting for the movers to turn up is the worst kind of Wait Mode. Hurry uuuuuuuuuuuup, I wanna get outta this place! Good morning from Wollongong, everybody. https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/115/629/274/084/915/745/original/e92bc560ffacee37.jpg npub17w9jlr8w5v59evaszfrgthz00xme3tma9dx5p54c7aqa65v0jwts8qpnkq Alex the Naught I should hear tomorrow. The estate agent selected my application and one other, and the owner will decide. From her tone and eagerness I suspect they'll pick me. I don't care that I'm breaking the lease and will probably have to double up on rent for a couple weeks as well. I gotta get out of here ASAP! npub17w9jlr8w5v59evaszfrgthz00xme3tma9dx5p54c7aqa65v0jwts8qpnkq Alex the Naught Finished a long productive day at work and now I finally get to lean back and enjoy...the loud braying laughter of drunken halfwits next door punctuated by shrill scolding and their crying toddlers. Yay! https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/115/575/353/119/364/539/original/7928b7146960d001.jpg npub17w9jlr8w5v59evaszfrgthz00xme3tma9dx5p54c7aqa65v0jwts8qpnkq Alex the Naught It'll all be good, I am sure! I like public speaking. As for the small talk, I can cope. I'll just start talking about trepanation or something so people scratch their heads and walk away. npub17w9jlr8w5v59evaszfrgthz00xme3tma9dx5p54c7aqa65v0jwts8qpnkq Alex the Naught My friend in New Zealand just sent me this photo of his cat doing a blep, and it's just too cute not to share here. I have to give a speech in the next week or so. Funny how that's not daunting at all, but the looming threat of idle mingling and small talk gives me insomnia. https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/115/569/794/043/133/786/original/30dc91ee039d6a9c.jpg npub17w9jlr8w5v59evaszfrgthz00xme3tma9dx5p54c7aqa65v0jwts8qpnkq Alex the Naught There WAS doubt!

Good morning from Wollongong, everybody. https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/115/561/823/092/055/427/original/92cc24152820f51e.jpg npub17w9jlr8w5v59evaszfrgthz00xme3tma9dx5p54c7aqa65v0jwts8qpnkq Alex the Naught Who wants to see a wombat? That was a trick question, because obviously everyone is interested in wombats (not Wombats the band, but wombats the wombats). https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/115/555/932/021/058/219/original/bd6a6e93ecfbb795.jpg npub17w9jlr8w5v59evaszfrgthz00xme3tma9dx5p54c7aqa65v0jwts8qpnkq Alex the Naught My phone's camera app thought this was my face and suggested I use a filter. https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/115/541/097/538/539/169/original/9e8a00bb10542760.jpg npub17w9jlr8w5v59evaszfrgthz00xme3tma9dx5p54c7aqa65v0jwts8qpnkq Alex the Naught Transition from night to sunrise Good morning from Wollongong, everybody. https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/115/538/695/945/820/296/original/2027d1fa0c26918e.jpg https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/115/538/696/127/776/988/original/da474ce22f02280e.jpg npub17w9jlr8w5v59evaszfrgthz00xme3tma9dx5p54c7aqa65v0jwts8qpnkq Alex the Naught Just blocked someone for fact-checking The Far Side. What sort of world are we living in? npub17w9jlr8w5v59evaszfrgthz00xme3tma9dx5p54c7aqa65v0jwts8qpnkq Alex the Naught What people think living in Australia is like https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/115/518/899/952/915/407/original/bbed3d608d126df1.jpg npub17w9jlr8w5v59evaszfrgthz00xme3tma9dx5p54c7aqa65v0jwts8qpnkq Alex the Naught I think maybe they ate all the other patrons. https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/115/511/876/001/708/391/original/729bba3bb0408e25.jpg npub17w9jlr8w5v59evaszfrgthz00xme3tma9dx5p54c7aqa65v0jwts8qpnkq Alex the Naught I think my tattoo is mostly healed, and it's now just as smooth as the rest of my skin. The significance of this is that I can now apply liberal amounts of sunblock and enjoy the outdoors and ride my bike and go hiking all weekend! 🤩 Good morning from Wollongong, everybody. https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/115/510/459/027/724/509/original/986e4079b98a96c0.jpg npub17w9jlr8w5v59evaszfrgthz00xme3tma9dx5p54c7aqa65v0jwts8qpnkq Alex the Naught I'm disappointed that no one asked me about my Halloween costume this year (I turned up as 'the ol' college try' again). npub17w9jlr8w5v59evaszfrgthz00xme3tma9dx5p54c7aqa65v0jwts8qpnkq Alex the Naught I forgot today is Halloween! Here are some spooky dogs. https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/115/466/060/293/841/826/original/6417f69c29e59d1f.jpg npub17w9jlr8w5v59evaszfrgthz00xme3tma9dx5p54c7aqa65v0jwts8qpnkq Alex the Naught I have a really important interview next week just two days after I get inked, which means I'm going to have a very fresh and very large tattoo that's in the midst of the itchy stage of the healing process. I also have to give a presentation in the beginning of the interview. Who wants to be my support person during the interview? You just need to liberally rub Bepanthen ointment on me for an hour and maybe slap my tattoo now and then when it's REALLY itchy. Volunteers, please form a line on the left. npub17w9jlr8w5v59evaszfrgthz00xme3tma9dx5p54c7aqa65v0jwts8qpnkq Alex the Naught Motherfucking quinoa!
