Thereโ€™s a magpie singing. Does it not have a clock? Itโ€™s 4:30am. Whyyyyy.

Ahhh pre-spring in Melbourne. My old place had a blackbird pair that nested right outside my bedroom and every year about this time would be their little songs at 4am

I asked Boyo what he would be his last meal if he could choose. He dove into that his choice would be changed by what kind of death he was facing, and why, what kind of emotions he might like to have during that meal or what he might like to avoid. There was a lot of thought put into it with different options for the different scenarios.

My response: โ€œLobster mac and cheese. No question."

Alright.

Running around getting stuff done for the trip.

Stressed but excited.

When are you heading up? Hopefully it'll be lovely and sunny, Sydney is beautiful in the sunshine.

I managed to trigger my bank's fraud detection last night by transferring some money to myself. Apparently not having a description/reference can be a red flag, so from now on I'll be putting in reference notes for the benefit of the fraud dept. ๐Ÿ˜

Ahhh, VLC has come through again. I turned an old phone into an mp3 player and I was looking for a local music player. VLC was the first thing I came across and I thought it would do for the moment, but it's so goddamned good I might just keep using it.

The only potential issue is it may not remember your play queue after closing. But it never did that, and that's fine if you want more deliberate listening sessions
