Cafe Sydney + a lifetime worth of coins

Went to Cafe Sydney last night because I love the food there. I was hoping to spend a lot but we ended up spending not a lot at all, however everything they cook is amazing - plus it's one of my favourite vantage points of the harbour. As I'm tired, I'm just going to picture spam.

Wagyu tartare with poached egg

Game terrine with foie gras

Coffin Bay octopus

Grilled prawns

Tandoori ocean trout

Wagyu tenderloin, short rib, marrow, mushrooms

Chocolate fondant with poached strawberries, fresh raspberries, strawberry ice cream, raspberry crumb

I also cashed in pretty much all the coins I had saved up (including the shinies!) which was quite fun to do, it made a racket and turns out I had a LOT more coins than I thought. No wonder it was all so heavy! This was what the machine counted:

AUD 0.05: 49 ($2.45)

AUD 0.10: 374 ($37.40)

AUD 0.20: 420 ($84.00)

AUD 0.50: 5 ($2.50)

AUD 1.00: 9 ($9.00)

AUD 2.00: 15 ($30.00)

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Timeless Chaos

What if there was no time, that everything is "now" and anything that happened in the past is an artificial memory, and that this memory is constantly recreating itself at every moment, so that hypothetically a second ago, you could have been an alien on a warpath? But you'd never know because now you're you and your memories are a construction of who you are now, so that really you could "have" been anything and everything at any given time.And dreams are glimpses to what you were, as reality constantly jumps and shifts around. And since everything in your mind is a fabrication, it means the future you want won't be the same future you want in your next moment, so future loses meaning and ceases to be a concept - it really is just everything all at once, and that's dealing with no Time.So you might ask, where does the memory come from, and how is it constructed? The answer is entropy. For you to exist, you must have a memory to cushion your sense of being, and the possibility of the memory must be plausible, falling back to the saying "the simplest answer is the most likely solution." If it's not plausible, then of course your mind wouldn't comprehend and therefore implode, and what is the simplest answer but the concept of lowest entropy as a stable state.And that, my friend, is the essence of chaos.The theory works because it's the exact opposite of a Void, and a Void is what happens on an imbalance towards Good. Chaos is the imbalance towards Evil but it's essentially the same because instead of nothing happening, everything is happening and the net result is still no change.So if you ever wonder what life actually boils down to and why we're all here, I can only suggest to you, why not?

Starcraft II - Wings of Liberty Collector's Edition

DECENTRALISED CONSCIOUSNESS 

Shinies + burger

So it turns out it's not a good idea to watch a lot of shows with men in shiny suits, because spending money on suits as a hobby turns out to be really, really expensive! It also means I've acquired skills that I can't really use myself. It turns out there are only 85 ways to tie a tie, so I should learn what the shorthand means and memorise them all, not.So here's a shiny dump plus a gigantic burger called the Big Moo from Moo Burgers. I wish I had better lighting but THIS IS ALL YOU GET.

LIME HARVESTER

Made with Real, Love and Violent

La Syndra - Made with Real, Love and ViolentSounds like a great clothing brand! Ristrel, Reine, wear La Syndra. In fact that is such a good idea, I'll make it! Or some variation thereof. Yeah."Food can taste 'photoshopped' when it's not made with real, love and violent"Best way to describe overprocessed or bad takeaway food. Yesssssss'I love terrible Engrish taglines, because I am just so good at making them.Also for the world of memes, an obscure in joke that in good time, will be but a distant memory, its meaning transformed from what it was into an epic story of monsters and war: "LIME HARVESTER? THEY'RE FOR GOING BACK IN TIME TO FETCH BUTTER OFF TREES"That is all!Random post is randomGOOD NIGHT
