    Yeah I can hear both the songs in my head now without looking at the guitar.

    Success!

    2 and a half fucking hours repeating the same 2 songs until they’re locked into muscle memory.

    This is what happens when you don’t practice every day like you promised yourself you would lol

    Alrighty. First song completely memorized no issue.

    Taking a break for an hour then hitting the 2nd song. It’s not that hard just has some tricky right hand rhythm parts.

    Then rehearsal tonight. I want to walk in there completely confident in my playing!

    Welcome back Yarrabyte! I was beginning to wonder if you and Botbot had run away to sea, or maybe taken up a Life of Crime.

    Dad called me upset that someone had stolen his delivery. Congrats arseholes, you have yourselves a month’s supply of doggie insulin. It’s totally useless to you.
    Except that it cost dad $530, and it needs to be chilled. So even if you return it tomorrow, it’s no good for the dog.

    (It’ll probably be covered by contents insurance because the delivery driver left a photo of it on the doorstep, but even $200 excess is not a trivial amount for a pensioner in his 80s)

      Surely if life saving meds are being delivered it’s up to the company to make sure they are actually safely delivered into people’s hands. Doorstep is not good enough.

        From the way he was talking it sounded like it was a routine delivery until it wasn’t there.

      eeeeeeek, Awwwwwwwwwwwwwesooooooooooooooome

      Is that your first time to the Louvre?

      It’s very very big, plan your trip, determine which galleries you want to visit ☺️

      also, every cafe within 250m is full of grifters, pickpockets, dodgy food and gigolos.

    I just wanna put it on record that the thick, curly, shower drain clogging head of hair my daughter inherited did not come from me. Pulling what looks like dead rodents out is gut churning. I need a strong mind altering drink.

    In all honesty she does have beautiful envious hair.

    My apologies if you’re eating lunch.

        I don’t give it a name but I do give myself a pep talk as I’m digging in there. puppies and kittens and sunshine and rainbows and roses and I hope it fits through the hole and keep your mouth closed and try not to puke.

          I wear rubber gloves and have a disposal bag at the ready. Only see it for a brief moment and then it’s gone from eyesight.

          For the smell, when cleaning bathrooms, I’ll wear a facemask or buff (leftover from lockdown days)

    Had a nice catch up with some old friends after work. Very cold out. Decided to try a new dish, hand pulled dry noodles with lamb tripe, chilli, garlic, capsicum etc. way better than I thought it would be. The tripe was really clean tasting and really chewy and springy. Pleasantly spicy. Company was a lot of fun. Had some good laughs, serotonin went boing.

    If you’re interested in what can be done with electronic musicians and a singer songwriter, try this.

    There’s a live in studio clip on YouTube which is incredible.

    Might take some of my industrial tracks and shop them around for a singer.

    soft plastic recycling now a goer

    Yes the plant’s in NSW, but they’re taking plastic from WA and QLD so why not Vic? Time to go back to sorting the soft plastics out of landfill.
