A photo of an electronic drum kit set up against a wall, with a tripod stand sitting to the left behind where the drum module is and a laptop sitting on the stand. The stand very much resembles a stand you'd put sheet music on. Immediately to the left of the drum kit and stand is a bookshelf with all sorts of non-book stuff on it, and right next to THAT is a set of luggage that'd been where I had the laptop sitting before the stand arrived.

A photo of the very complicated user interface of Logic Pro with a recording from my drums. It shows the tempo across the song, and it varies from 118bpm to just under 122bpm which isn't bad given I was aiming for 120!

I ordered a laptop stand so I could have my laptop hooked up to my drums in a more useful position, it arrived today and fits perfectly! So much better than having it dodgily perched on the luggage to the left there. 😛 I also discovered that Logic Pro has a thing where it can pick up the tempo of what you're playing and it lets you adjust it after the fact! I'm a bit shit at keeping time, but I recorded a section by trying to keep a count in my head ("ONE and TWO and THREE and FOUR and") and I actually ended up surprisingly close to 120bpm the whole time.

A photo of a small scruffy blonde dog lying upside-down on the floor in a patch of sunshine.

Life truly is a struggle sometimes.

A photo of a small scruffy dog lying on the floor with just his snout and part of one eye poking out from underneath a brown blanket that's hanging down from our bed.

Beanie REALLY likes being under our stuff.

A photo of four miniatures from Warhammer 40,000, they're heavily-armoured human warriors wielding various guns, but the stock male heads have been replaced with a third-party set of female ones from a company called Statuesque Miniatures. The skin tones on all four are Black and they look wonderful.

Progress has been slow, but I finished the faces of the next four of my squad of Scions tonight and I am pretty damned happy with how good they look!

A photo of a Warhammer Underworlds game board. The board itself is covered in hexes with the artwork underneath looking like deep within a cave, and at the front closest to the camera are six savage beastmen all yelling and wielding weapons like they're about to charge, and facing them across the board are four lithe and elegant aelves.

We were going to go play some X-wing at a friend's place with my new play board, but he wasn't feeling up for it so Kristina and I played some Warhammer Underworlds instead! Aelves versus filthy goatmen, and despite a strong start, it all fell apart at the end for me thanks to some terrible rolling on my part (and some really lucky rolling on Kristina's), and she won 11-9.

A photo of a small scruffy blonde dog lying upside-down with his legs in the air, staring unblinkingly at the camera.

I went out to make a cup of tea, came back and turned around the corner to come into the office, and was greeted with this. Just full eye-contact the entire way back to my desk.
