A selfie of me, a white man with a relatively short but getting somewhat scruffy-looking red beard and short brown hair, wearing a black Fear Factory t-shirt. I'm holding a white Fender Player II Stratocaster electric guitar and smiling at the camera.

You'll have to speak up, I'm playing a guitar. 😎

I finished the bass line this morning, I've got the broad strokes of the rhythm guitar down and just need to record the rest, so now I'm mucking around with the lead. I recorded some lead earlier in the week but listening to it again now I realised it doesn't go, especially with the increased energy of the new bass track, it was just too slow.

A VERY close-up, not quite in focus photo of April the dark brown labradoodle sitting on the lounge almost directly on me and giving a very expectant stare. It looks exactly like she's saying "YES HELLO I AM HERE GIVE ME PETS" which is 100% what she would be saying if she could speak.

A not-quite-so-close-up photo of the lighter brown labradoodle Amber who is also standing on the lounge and staring at me. At the very bottom right of the frame you can see just a bit of April's head because she was sitting on me at the time.

A somewhat blurry photo of both April and Amber sniffing each other's snouts, April is sitting directly on me and Amber is standing alongside. Out of focus in the background you can see @ausfestivus sitting on the lounge as well.

Today we went over to visit @ausfestivus and his lovely wife and their two excellent doggos! One of the dogs, the lighter-coloured one Amber, is a completely chilled sweetheart, and the other darker one April is a complete chaos whirlwind who insisted on being ON me whenever possible but would immediately get jealous if Amber was getting any attention, haha.

A photo of a three-player game of Warhammer Underworlds. It's played on three rectangular boards sitting together in a T-shape, there are tiles marked out with hexes, and the artwork is all dark blue like you're underwater. Closest to the camera are The Wurmspat, three hulking miniatures with two of them in big green armour with pustules and tentacles, and the third in a long dark purple cloak. At the left are The Crimson Court, they have pale blue skin, elegant armour, and red cloaks, with blood dripping from their weapons and the corners of their mouths. And finally at the right are the Shadeborn, four lithe elves in very dynamic poses with very pale skin and wearing deep purple clothing.

This afternoon we went over to @[email protected]'s for a game of Warhammer Underworlds! (The old edition, not the new one: we play infrequently enough that I can't justify buying a bunch more stuff).

I played the vampires of The Crimson Court, @yayKM had the sneaky aelves of the Shadeborn, and @[email protected] played Nurgle's finest The Wurmspat. The final score was 15-8-8 to The Crimson Court, but @yayKM had quite a comeback and scored five glory right at the end, which would have made for a VERY tight game except I managed to net SIX glory shooting me out in front to 15. 😅 Definitely want to play again sooner than six months from now (the last game we had was in June, oops). And maybe that'll give me some impetus to actually paint the coughtencough warbands I still haven't painted yet. 🙃

A photo of a big thick-skinned potato sliced in half and covered in beef mince with healthy dollops of sour cream on top.

Aw yiss, NYE dinner was baked potatoes done in the air fryer with Mexican-seasoned mince on top and sour cream, so good! 👌🏻

A photo of a smallish room, with stuff against all of the walls but in a neat and tidy and actually arranged fashion, and without a bunch of dust and leaves on the floor.

Did some cleaning and tidying for the final day of 2024: I finally got around to donating Beanie's old stuff to our local vet who were very grateful and assured me they'd be put to good use. The woman who helped me bring the stuff in said in particular that some of their clients have, and I quote, "geriatric dachshunds", so Beanie's old ramp will be particularly helpful, haha.

I also went through the horrifying mess that was the cable box and got rid of all of the cables I had a ton of duplicates of and didn't need anymore (mostly things involving USB-A), and we took all of that plus the rest of the e-waste that'd been sitting there gathering dust to the local e-waste recycling place, and finally I did some long overdue vacuuming as well, phew.

A photo of four smiling people sitting around a restaurant table. There's me, a white man with a short red beard and short brown hair, @yayKM, a white woman with short brown hair, @200ok, a white man with short-ish black hair and black-rimmed glasses, and his partner who is a white woman with shoulder-length tinted light purple hair wearing clear plastic rimmed glasses.

Mamak for the second time in two days, whee! Met up with @[email protected] and his lovely partner before they move to Melbourne.

A photo of fifteen lightly golden cut rounds (basically scones but more savoury) sitting on a cooling rack.

And finally we have a somewhat belated batch of cut rounds, made very specifically to have with @[email protected]'s jam. 😁

A photo of three people sitting around a restaurant table. There's me, a white man with a short red beard and short brown hair, @yayKM, a white woman with short brown hair, and @SeaFury, a Chinese woman with shoulder-length black curly hair.

We went out to Mamak tonight to meet up with the very lovely @SeaFury! A++ would food and conversate again.

A photo of a dining room with two tables set up on either side, two people are sitting around the left and another two and a child are sitting at the right. There are a bunch of paints and miniatures and things scattered over both tables.

A photo of several different pieces of gothic-looking yet somewhat futuristic ruins of varying sizes sitting on my painting table. They've been primed black and then had three layers of drybrushing done in increasingly-light greys and it looks mint, if you were lazy you could totally use that on the tabletop as-is.

Today I went over to a friend's place for a painting day! I got the drybrushing for ALL of my remaining Hivestorm terrain done, and then we finished the day off with a good hour-long splash around in the pool.
