A photo of box of eight Vallejo metallic airbrush paints in various shades, plus a medium grey, blue grey, rust, and orange rust.

Woohoo, my airbrush paints arrived! Now to hopefully not fuck it up while I'm using them to paint my Kill Team terrain...

A photo of my painting desk with a bunch of industrial-looking walls in grey plastic already assembled at the right, a sprue with more walls on it in the middle, and the assembly instruction booklet at the left. The desk is covered in the little bits of plastic I've chopped off the terrain to tidy it up.

Current status: Assembling the seemingly endless amounts of terrain from the new Kill Team box.

A photo of the (ENORMOUS) box of the new edition of Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team. The box art has a painting of a huge cathedral-like starship floating in the depths of space on the left-hand side, and on the right is a heavily armed and armoured guy in a chonky helmet holding what looks like a beefy shotgun. The tagline for this is "Intense boarding actions in the 41st millennium."

Who has two thumbs and now owns even more plastic? This guy!

A perfectly symmetrical photo taken from a train station platform, looking back towards the escalators.

Aww yiss, we're on our way out for dinner with friends at our favourite Greek restaurant.

A photo of a DIY guitar pedalboard. It consists of two horizontal planks of wood screwed into two shallowly-angled pieces on either end. The two horizontal pieces have strips of velcro on them, and there's three pedals attached to it. The cables are extremely neat and tidy and mostly tucked away underneath the body of the board.

A photo of the pedalboard sitting in front of an Orange (and coloured orange) guitar amplifier.

That was a HELLA productive day off, look at my pedalboard! Everything is so neat and tidy, I'm fucking STOKED at how well it came together.

A photo of a set of guitar strings, two guitar wall mounts, two straps, some patch cables for connecting guitar pedals together, some string cleaner/lubricant, some 1-metre instrument cables, and a set of heavy-duty velcro for fastening guitar pedals to a pedal board.

Also my next batch of guitar-related bits and bobs arrived. Looking forward to getting the new strings onto my guitar, I realised it's sounding pretty muddy at this point given I haven't changed them since I bought it two years ago. 😬

A photo of a square white ceramic baking dish with delicious-looking chocolate brownie in it.

I made gluten-free brownies for Kristina's birthday! It's a new recipe we haven't tried before so it's possible it'll be awful, but we'll find out this afternoon when we have it.

A photo of the Warhammer 40,000 Kill Team squad "Corsair Voidscarred", which are basically space elf pirates, and four pots of paint. The art on the front of the box is of one of the Voidscarred who has a turquoise mohawk and a breathing mask on, and is wearing elegant-looking turquoise armour. He's wielding sleek and elegant-looking bone-coloured pistol.

I don't have a problem, YOU have a problem.

Eeeee, I just ordered a guitar amp! And not just any amp, a proper vacuum tube one. Feast your eyes on this orange monstrosity! I think my favourite feature (and a significant part of why I chose this one specifically) is that it has a switch at the back of that goes between "Headroom" and "Bedroom" modes. In Headroom mode, it puts out a full 15W, or 7W if you flick the "half power" switch. In Bedroom mode, that's dropped to 1W and 0.5W at half power, but it doesn't appreciably change the actual sound of the thing, it's just not nearly as loud so you can play it inside without annoying the shit out of your neighbours or significant other. I'm also getting a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 Gen 3 USB audio interface and a Two Notes Torpedo Captor load box so I can hook it up to the computer and do some proper recording. (This page has a good description of what a load box is: https://travelingguitarist.com/what-is-a-guitar-load-box/. I only found out about them last night as I was researching how to hook the amp up to the computer since it doesn't have a headphone jack or line out.) EXCITE!

Beanie's been unwell lately (intermittently throwing up and needing to pee a lot more frequently), he was shivering a bunch this afternoon so Kristina took him to the vet and they did an x-ray and it turns out he's got a tumour in his abdomen so we had to have to rush him to the emergency vet. 😢 He's staying overnight and they're going to do a CT scan in the morning and see what the deal is, the vet said it looks like it might be something in his spleen and they see that being malignant about 2/3s of the time. They're likely going to do surgery pending the results of the scan, then take samples and send them off to be analysed to see if it _is_ malignant or not.
