A photo of the front of the box of the new Warhammer Underworlds release. The artwork has a guy in golden armour with a big blue cloak with a hood standing there with a staff and casting some sort of magic, and below that are two more similar figures fighting off freaky-looking misshapen daemons.

Yesssss, very excited to put the warbands in Wyrdhollow together and take them for a spin, they look like great fun, lots of magic-casting!

A photo of an electric guitar and bass guitar propped against a wall, sitting next to a bass guitar amp and a regular guitar amp, with a pedal board filled with pedals sitting in front of the whole lot, and cables going everywhere.

Current status. 🤘🏻

A photo of a small bass guitar amp with a bass guitar leaning against it, and a novel sitting in front. The amp is an Orange Crush Bass 25 and has a black mesh on the front with the rest of it being the customary bright orange colour. The guitar is a Yamaha BB434 and the body fades from black around the edges into a dark rich orange/red wood in the middle. The book is a sci-fi novel "Empire of Silence" by Christopher Ruocchio.

A photo of three guitars hanging on a wall.

Birthday loot! 😁 The book was a surprise gift from @yayKM, the reviews are glowing so I'll definitely be starting that next when I finish my current book. And I've gotten the bass all nicely wall-mounted already. Very excited to start learning it, I've heard very good things about the Bassbuzz course (https://www.bassbuzz.com/lessons/beginner) from LOTS of people so I'm going to start with that.

A photo of a 128GB mSATA SSD and a caddy to convert that to a 2.5-inch IDE connection.

Current project: Installing this into my old PowerBook G3! I'm also hoping that I can create a disk image of the existing hard drive and clone it onto one of the old external FireWire hard disks I still have floating around. 🤞🏻

A photo of the side and rear of a hunched-over zombie that has poles coming out of its back. The poles are connected to each other via wires, and the wires are MEANT to look like they're lit up with electricity and there's light being cast on its back but... it doesn't look very good.

Another zombie but from the front and, this one is upright and mid-shamble with one hand reaching out in front of it. It's got the same poles and wires sticking up from behind it that the other one did, but I didn't bother doing the lighting effect and they're just dark green. The zombie's skin is mostly skin-coloured but with an unnatural green hue to it and you can see part of its brain where the top of its skull is missing.

I decided to start on the Warhammer Underworlds warband The Exiled Dead, tried doing some object source lighting on the first one and it looks pretty shit, to the point that I may just re-base coat it tomorrow and start over. Really happy with the second though!

A big saucepan with a rich red chicken curry cooking in it. There's green beans, corns, carrot, and peas visible as well.

Absolutely miserable weather here today, good day to put on a giant batch of chicken curry with tons of veggies to have for lunches during the week.

A photo of a small scruffy blonde dog lying on the floor in the gap between the wall and the leg of my standing desk.

A photo looking over at Sydney Harbour Bridge and towards the CBD itself. Lots of tall buildings are visible, plus of course the Bridge.

A photo taken from towards the side of a stage with a First Nations woman at the microphone and a fellow with a didgeridoo behind her, with a big crowd in the shadows in front of the stage.

A photo taken with several warriors on the stage, they have round shields and spears and are in a circle facing inwards. There's a guy with antlers in his headdress off to the right, and the lighting is very orange/red coloured.

The warriors again, this time in blue lighting. One of them is actually a woman who has no top on and she's holding her spear up in front of her in a defiant manner and is mid-yell.

I went to see #Heilung tonight and HOLY SHIT IT WAS FUCKING EPIC. Legit chills at multiple points during the performance. There was no opening band, but before Heilung themselves came out they had two First Nations people come out and give a bit of a speech and play a short bit of music, and everyone gave them a really good cheer which was wonderful. I decided to stay at a hotel near the venue rather than needing to keep track of the train times (and then having @yayKM wake up from Beanie barking when I got home at like 12:30-1am or whatever). What a brilliant choice that was, and check out the view I was greeted with when I got into my room! I took a ton of photos of the concert, it was equal parts music and theatric performance, and will process and post them tomorrow.

A photo of a narrow raised garden bed alongside a fence, there's two palm-type trees in it, a fair few grassy weeds, and the red mulch coverage is fairly patchy and it looks very dull.

A wider-angle shot of the same bit of garden bed but showing more of it to the left. There's no weeds at all now and the mulch is fresh and red.

Phew, that was a productive afternoon. Pulled up all the weeds and dead mulch in half of our side garden, plus pruned a bunch of the dead fronds from the palm trees, then put weed mat down and fresh mulch. The other half will have to wait for another day because a) I'm out of steam, b) there's way more weeds than the half I did, and c) the garbage bin is full.

A photo of a compact electronic drum kit, with a very shiny metal acoustic hi-hat stand with a black plastic cymbal mounted on it sitting behind the kit.

I've started doing some more advanced stuff on the drums and some of it involves using the hi-hat pedal to open and close the hi-hat, but the stock hi-hat pedal that comes with the drums is fairly mushy and I was having a lot of trouble getting it to register when doing fast switches between open and closed (it's perfectly fine just when it's fully closed or open, just not so much when switching between the two in rapid succession). I did some research and Roland actually have a hi-hat that you mount on a regular acoustic hi-hat stand and it physically moves up and down as a regular hi-hat would. I ordered both the cymbal and the stand earlier in in the week and it arrived today, and man it feels nice to play!
