A photo taken in our lounge room showing Megalodon Rising on the TV. The poster art has a submarine with an explosion behind it, and underneath it there is the mouth of a GIANT shark whose mouth-width is nearly as wide as the submarine is long. This was very deceptive because there was no military submarine at any point in the movie!

Tonight we did a bad movie night for @[email protected]'s birthday (it was meant to be last month but sickness got in the way), and we watched MEGALODON RISING.

It's got a 2.1 on IMDB and deserves every bit of it, there weren't remotely enough scenes of things or people being eaten by badly CGI-ed giant sharks and way too much talking. @[email protected] figured out that the naval ship they filmed the movie on was a museum piece at some maritime museum in California, which explained why all the shots of the bridge had exactly one person in the shot at once because they couldn't physically fit more people in the space. 😛 And there were clearly shots that were gotten by just walking alongside the ship in the dock and aiming upwards at the deck, haha. At least the woman who was playing the main character, the captain of the ship, could actually act though!

A photo of a sports field with quite dry-looking grass, with a whole bunch of kids probably somewhere between maybe 6 and 10 playing various games of rugby league. There are a bunch of people watching from the surrounds. It's mid-afternoon, completely sunny and warm, and the sky is blue with a few fluffly white clouds hanging around.

A zoomed in photo of a number of people standing around an upturned blue portable shade tent thing (I don't know what the actual word is, the ones with just metal bars for legs that sit on the ground and have a tent material roof over them). Some people are just standing with their hands on their hips and others are actually trying to turn it back upright again.

A photo of three horses all with heads down eating grass. They're standing in a slight hilly and very scruffy-looking field, with three five-storey unit blocks in the background at the left, some ramshackle farm buildings a bit further down the field in the middle distance, and then trees beyond and mountains in the far distance. It's completely sunny but from this angle the sky is almost entirely fluffy clouds.

Breathtakingly #GloriousSydney again today so we went for another walk, and this time the sports field was absolutely PACKED with kids playing rugby league. It was windy enough that one of their portable tent things overturned, we saw some quality doggos (not pictured because they were moving too much), and saw some horses on the way back. A++ walk.

A photo of a big sports field with two upright field goals for rugby at the left and right of frame, and the usual flood lights on tall poles. The field is quite dry and brown-looking, and the whole area is surrounded by trees at the left and right, and in the far distance is the amenities building and beyond that are houses.

A photo of two galahs standing on the grass. They're cockatoo-looking birds with light grey wings that turn towards dark grey at the very ends, a pink body, white on top of their heads from about eye level upwards, and short white beaks.

Absolutely off the charts #GloriousSydney areas today, so we went for a good walk. No sports on but the cricket nets were full and we met some galas.

Slow going (I have too many other hobbies completing for my time 😅) but that's the second piece of the Hivestorm terrain finished!

A photo of some sort of striped lizard with very long claws that would have easily been 30cm just from nose to back legs, with its tail being even longer, hanging vertically on the red bricks that make up the outside wall of our house. It's directly in the afternoon sun and was probably wonderfully warm.

We had a visitor today! During our game of Warhammer Quest I got a message from our next-door neighbour with a photo looking out of his kitchen window to the side of our house of this handsome fellow just chilling on the wall.

I went to see if I could retrieve it and deposit it in the bushland across the street it so the Indian mynas didn't attack it, but it was WAY faster than the blue-tongue lizards we normally have to rescue and there was no chance I was going to be able to coax it into a container for relocation, which in turn meant I don't think the mynas would have had any chance of getting it either.

(To be clear, this isn't the photo the neighbour sent, I took it myself because our houses aren't THAT close together. 😅)

A photo of Emelda Braskov, one of the hero miniatures of Warhammer Quest, who is wearing heavy plate armour and holding a massive sword, facing off against four skeleton warriors in rusty armour and tattered red cloaks who are wielding spears and shields. Next to them is one of the "mysterious object" markers, which is a gallows pole with a skeleton hanging on it. The skeleton is clutching at its through where the noose is, and is pointing off to the left with its other hand.

We had @wobin over again for a continuation of our Warhammer Quest adventures, and it went a lot better than last time. This game was a "Decapitation" journey where we're off to kill one of the big bads, it's split into two stages where the first one involves fighting through to find their lair, and the second is actually killing the boss itself. We did just the first stage tonight, and ended up getting almost everyone inspired within the first two turns, which meant we were steamrollering through the hostiles for a while, though our momentum ended up grinding to a halt when @yayKM's warrior was extremely badly wounded taking on a room full of skeletons and had to hang back until we could heal her up. Next time it's going to be taking out Watch Captain Halgrim, the skeleton warrior boss, and nothing except his skeletal Ulfenwatch minions.

A photo of the box of the Espresso display. The display itself is only 5mm thick and has a silver housing with a bit of a chin at the bottom similar to how the old Intel iMacs used to, though much less chunky.

When I'm recording my drums in Logic Pro, my laptop sits on its stand over behind and to the left of the drum kit, and I have my iPad sitting in the middle acting as a second monitor so I can put Logic Pro on that and see which bar I'm up to without needing to awkwardly turn my head over to where the laptop is. The annoying part about that though is that you can't actually tap on the iPad screen to do anything, it's purely displaying output, so to pause Logic Pro or go back to a specific section I still need to lean over to the laptop.

It turns out that there's a company that makes little touch-capable portable displays, so I bought the 13-inch one (mostly because anything larger doesn't fit in between the two crash cymbals on the drum kit 😅)! I've also got a VESA mount stand to attach to the drum stand and a little VESA mount tablet/display holder so I can use both the iPad (during regular drum practice when I'm just using it to stream music) as well as the new Espresso display when I'm recording stuff, but unfortunately the display holder isn't arriving until next week so I can't take it for a proper spin yet.

A photo of a large stainless steel pot extremely full of the aforementioned Cajun beef pasta. You can't really see any of that though because there's a delicious layer of partially-melted cheese across the top of it all.

And then we made Nagi's one pot Cajun beef pasta recipe!

Absolutely delicious as always, but I think her recipe assumes you have a significantly larger pot because the amount of water ended up being a fair bit too much and it came out rather on the soupy side (plus the cheese on top at the end didn't melt as much as I was hoping). It made like six and a half serves though, and I'm sure that the extra liquid will all be absorbed by the pasta for the leftovers.

A photo of a white femme-ish non-binary person with dyed black hair and wearing all black clothing, in the middle of playing a bass guitar.

First bass lesson with the seventeen year-old!

A photo of the subwoofer, it's a glossy black box about 29cm square, with no ornamentation on it at all except for a silver plate in the middle of the top face that says "REL" on it. There are four short silver legs, and it's sitting in a corner next to our TV stand in front of the window.

We have FINALLY upgraded our lounge room stereo system and added a subwoofer! It's a teensy little REL Acoustics Tzero MkIII (sealed box, 6.5" driver) but damn does it add some excellent punch.

The bookshelf speakers we have are twenty year-old Wharfedale ones and still sound fantastic, but the HomePod definitely shows them up in terms of bass so I decided to finally do something about it.
