My favourite thing to do in the Forza Horizon games is to take an old car and just entirely hot it up. Witness my 1970 Datsun 510 that has an inline four turbocharged rally engine in it, along with full rollbars, weight reduction, and slick racing tyres.

In related news, I am absolutely incapable of playing racing games without leaning my entire body to one side or the other as I go around corners.

Two round golden brown loaves of bread covered in flour sitting on a cooling rack.

A photo of two slices of the aforementioned bread with slices of cooked tomato on top, and sliced mushrooms cooked in sage, rosemary, and garlic on top of that, all sitting on a white dinner plate.

And the weekend of deliciousness finishes off with fresh bread!

Drums and chords with single coil split (Electronic Remix)

And then of course, I had to spend like two hours playing around in Logic Pro turning this into an electronic song. 😁 I duplicated the guitar track three times and applied different effects to each one, very pleased with the result.

The drums were slightly annoying because apparently my Roland drum kit uses different MIDI notes than the defaults than Logic uses for a bunch of the individual pieces. I always end up having to manually edit the drum kit within Logic Pro so a quarter of the notes are even playing anything at all, and then I need to change another quarter of them because things like the toms and crash cymbal have ended up being weird effect sounds instead.

A photo of a beef burger on a plate along with two hash browns. The burger has ketchup, a slice of cheese, several slices of tomato, and one of the hash browns on it.

Man, today has been the day of deliciousness. Lunch was leftover Indian, followed up with a café bombón, and dinner was home-made burgers with hash browns.

Drums plus chords with single coil split

I made another song! This time it was just straight up recording a track on the drums, then playing guitar over it. Definitely doing significantly better in terms of staying in time now. 😛

For the guitar, I used my new Ibanez and switched it to the split between the bridge humbucker and the middle single coil, and it's SUCH a nice sparkly sound! I added some reverb after the fact in Logic Pro as well, since I don't have my reverb pedal yet, and man it's amazing how much of a difference it makes. The whole guitar just sounds more... open, I guess? It's hard to describe but it's quite a noticeable difference.

A photo of a fancy double-walled round espresso glass about half-way full. The bottom half is a layer of sweetened condensed milk, and the top half is espresso.

We very rarely have sweetened condensed milk in the house, but when we do, I make a café bombón. 👌🏻

A photo taken from above of a small scruffy blonde dog lying on his side on a lounge seat, as close as possible to the arm of the lounge as possible. His front legs are close enough that they're tucked in, and he looks a lot rounder than he actually us.

@yayKM is in the office today for her work Christmas party, so Beanie has been either snoozing outside, or snoozing on the lounge at the front of the house.
