What am I even doing, out partying on a weeknight! But in a stroke of luck while checking in on some of the artists I listen to, I spotted grandson on tour in Aus!
Alas, it wasn’t a city venue and I had to travel out to Freo, which wouldn’t have been an issue except that 1. the performance started an hour late due to technical issues and 2. there was minor trackwork that required a bus connection before catching the train the rest of the way home, so I didn’t get home till after midnight!
It was definitely very fun though and I enjoyed it a lot!
So this year I’ve started something called Project Lower Cholesterol because my tests came back higher than last time, which wasn’t what I was expecting!
I love my butter and buttery pastries and cream-topped einspanners too much, but I consider my “I love food” to be all food so I’m 3 months into cutting out 99.5% butter and most animal fats.
Just fixing my diet isn’t enough so I started running again (my last time being during Covid where I failed miserably) and to my surprise I’m actually surviving? I still don’t enjoy it but 12km according to Google maps (last time I ran this route it was just over 11km so there is some variance) would be my record! That’s a lot of running!
Except it seems my shin splints are spreading so I’d better rest a bit!
I don’t know why, but this was definitely totally a step up from my first Linkin Park concert experience (or maybe it’s just my memory fading and they were equally awesome)!
Except I do wish I booked the pit, the seats were fine but my goodness the absolute excitement and energy of the pit is just something else! I’m not sure I have the stamina these days to compete for front row haha, though it does seem like LPU is the way to go – they even had a VIP line for merch! I really wanted to flex my LPU membership but I had nothing to buy, so instead I just watched the line as other people picked up goodies.
I went offline for a year because I decided to try out a different domain/hosting provider and I didn’t like how everything looked. How can a blog NOT track timestamps???
Anyway, I’m back and I have to fix everything and re-upload all the pictures all over again! Who knows how long that will take so here is a placeholder picture of Harri and Henry 😀
I think it’s been a while since I’ve posted any cooking adventures, but this Christmas I had plenty of time to really treat myself to some fancy food!
Ok, this cake was not something I made haha. This is my second ever whole cake purchase for just myself, a pistachio trifle cake from Teeter Bakery and it was amazing! I was worried it’d be too big for one person to finish, but I managed it over 3 days, which was pretty good!
I never thought I’d decide to play any game early access. I’m gonna wait out Hades 2 for full release. However, one day I opened up Steam and there just happened to be a livestream of Windblown and I’m like here, take my money….
It’s so much fun! It’ll be interesting to see how the game changes over the next year! I am loving the different font sizes of cray yelling haha.
Now I’m finally on Cataclysmic difficulty! And I got what’s apparently the rarest skin in the game so far, Project 2501!
It’s been a long time since I’ve drawn! Trying a completely different technique and this went places; at first her face was too ashen and she reminded me of a vampire. I warmed up the skin a bit but mainly this was just an experiment of making some gold highlights pop.
