Silksong is gonna be playable at Game Worlds. I wonder how massive the hype is going to be?
I buy all kinds of music and since it's all 1 or 2 bucks I buy things I don't know. So this morning I put on a cd of "Indian" music. Just a compilation album.
First song up, This Land is your Land Indian style. It was pretty cool.
I've started off with removalist quotes by getting a couple online, hoping for a rough ballpark figure. One was over twice the cost of the other. Accidentally including a trampoline in the list of things I am moving may have had an impact, although the total m3 they estimated was roughly the same. I almost added 35 outdoor umbrellas to the list on the other, due to resting my finger on the touch screen, but fortunately realised before I submitted it.
Do people not realise that Costco fuel has long hoses so you can fuel your car no matter which side your tank opening is on? Or are they afraid of using it?
Just nipped to Costco and drove in looking a line of 3 cars waiting at one bowser set, only for the 3 bowser set next to it be completely empty. Feels like a cheat code when you pull up, fuel up and zip out before that line has gotten through.
Iโm having a quiet night in watching the footy, as Iโm expecting a busy quokka filled election day. Bought a salad and a Woolies quarter chicken and settled in.
Also bought Masters spearmint milk, because thatโs A Thing over here apparentlyโฆand itโs legitimately great? I donโt understand why we donโt also have minty milk?
Security cameras have definitely improved a lot since I last looked at them. Everything used to need hard wiring for power and all the apps were pretty glitchy last time I investigated.
I'm going to get the Ring doorbell, cameras with solar power and gutter mounts for the front and back, plus one in the main area inside. That should cover all the main approaches, and being a new estate most of the theives in the area will be targeting all the empty houses filled with brand new appliances anyway.
I didn't realise Paint by numbers would be so calming and fun.
I love paint by numbers. It's soothing! I love to paint/play with colours, but often get caught in my head about it being "perfect" or what I "should" paint, so doing a paint by numbers hits my creative bone without being stressful. Ahh so happy you're enjoying doing it!
I also have a Zen painting app on my phone that I'll often play.

Decently chill day of work today. Got a meeting at 3, which hopefully won't last for too long.
Gonna hit the early voting centre to afford myself a sleep in tomorrow.
line for mine was around the block at lunch time.
