A photo of a beef brisket point sitting on a smoker with two temperature sensors sticking into it.

Doing my first brisket today! I'm setting my expectations appropriately low because it's apparently one of the tricker ones to get right. We got a small 2kg one to start with because I don't want to fuck it up and have wasted like a hundred dollars worth of meat.

A photo of a white woman with short hair sitting in an dark blue fabric armchair reading a book. A small scuffy blonde dog is lying across her lap, with one eye and the side of his face mushed against the arm of the chair.

Whenever Kristina reads a book, Beanie likes to snooze on her lap. Except that he almost always has his eye jammed against the arm of the chair in the most uncomfortable-looking position!

A photo of an electronic drumkit with a metal arm attached to the bar in the middle that's protruding up behind the two middle toms, with an iPad being held at the top of it and the "Melodics" app on screen.

Huzzah, my tablet arm finally arrived! No more looking awkardly off to the left to follow my drum lessons. 🎉

A photo of a Warhammer Underworlds game board, it has hexagonal tiles on it and the artwork on the board looks like the inside of a cave. Skaeth's WIld Hunt are on one side, and they're all elegant and flowing wood elf-like creatures, with the leader being a centaur, and on the other side Grashrak's Despoilers are ugly and brutish-looking goat-men.

We went back to OG Beastgrave for our game of Warhammer Underworlds tonight, Grashrak's Despoilers vs. Skaeth's Wild Hunt. I've been watching videos from Tabletop Sydney where they play Underworlds and so have been getting a really firm grasp of tactics, and Kristina was a bit concerned that she'd just never end up winning again. So for this game I played an advisory role and Kristina ended up winning 14-8!

A photo of a Warhammer 40,000 Plague Marine, he has pock-marked heavy armour and spikes all over. He's in mid-stride and is holding a very large flamethrower-looking thing. His head, backpack, and both arms are unpainted bare plastic and are the new parts I added.

Another Warhammer 40,000 Plague Marine, this one has a tentacle for a left arm and is holding a meltagun. The gun and his right forearm are bare plastic and are the new parts I added.

And done, that's now one of every available operative type and weapon! Really happy with how the plague spewer guy came out. The guy with the meltagun was tricky as well because I had to hack the bolter he was carrying carefully around the tentacle so I could re-use it for the gun.

A photo of five miniatures (2 Tau, 2 Death Guard, 1 Space Marine Reiver) with an undercoat colour of white or black, with their weapons clearly newly-added because they're fully unpainted raw grey plastic. The miniature in the middle isn't fully assembled and is missing his head and both arms.

With the new edition of Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team coming out and all the changes to squad composition (generally speaking you can only have a single type of special weapon in each squad), I'm doing some converting of my as-yet-unpainted miniatures!

Most of them I could just break the glue apart on the arm joints, but for the guy in the middle, his arms were one single piece connected to half the torso, so I had to hack through the whole arm at the shoulder.

A photo of a small scruffy blonde dog sitting at the arm of a beige lounge with his front legs up on the arm.

Beanie's staring intently at the front door, waiting for Kristina to get back from her walk.

A selfie of me, a white man with short hair and, uh, let's call it a very large forehead, wearing a blue surgical mask.

A photo of the elliptical showing 1349 calories burnt in an hour twenty-nine, and the iPad is paused at the very end of the last episode of Deep Space Nine, with the station itself slowly receding into the distance and a deep purple nebula behind it.

So I finished watching all of Star Trek: The Next Generation in September of 2020, and tonight have finished watching all seven seasons of Deep Space Nine!

I think this was my favourite Trek, I liked the darker and more shades of grey versus the unbridled optimism of TNG. As with TNG, it's always sad to finish a series you've been watching for ages. I bought the "What We Left Behind" documentary they made about DS9 a few years back, going to watch that on the weekend.

A photo of my Roland electronic drum kit set up in front of the TV, where Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock from the Xbox 360 is mid-song. There's PostIt notes on the drums to indicate which drum corresponds to which colour pad from the original drum set.

IT'S ALIIIIIVE!
