Just finished with the kids’ birthday party. They had kids toys in the room I didn’t even know about so they had a great time immediately.
I think the parents enjoyed it too because we didn’t have a strict plan and it was just an excuse to hang out at this park with a massive play equipment in the morning.

Went out for breakfast and had to combine tables to fit everyone so our table was the funny 6 7 number

Day off today to prepare for the boys’ birthday this weekend. I haven’t done a full week of work in about 3 weeks now. It’s been nice

I’ve been thinking for a while a cheap all AMD PC with Bazzite would be a good loungeroom computer. Depending on the price they may have solved that for me

Have you seen the GabeCube announced by Valve today? Interesting things happening in the world of PC gaming right now

I had only ever heard Computer Camp. It’s always interesting to listen to the other music of groups you’ve hardly dipped into

Crazy to think that means the BBC is over 100 years old now

I just hosted my first night of trivia and things went well enough. Once I’m familiar with the software things will go smoother and I bet I’ll be able to wrap everything up and get everyone out by 8:30

I did a drive at lunchtime and it seems like I can Funnelhack My Commute by car even faster now. There’s a residential street next to a main road that has finally been finished. I’m not sure what the local knowledge is on this one but if I can cruise down there it will cut down the drive home big time

Went to Welcome To Thornbury yesterday for the first time in ages. There was this fantasy market and it was the first time I saw more of the place than just the food truck area. That place has come along nicely and is really popping off

I checked the JB HiFi clearance section and there are a bunch of CDs on sale for $1. There are also cheap mugs and obscure funko pop characters

I was thinking something along these lines. Like 5L of motor oil or barbecue briquettes

Kris Kringle has been announced at work so now it’s time to find the funniest/most annoying thing you can buy for under $25

Even a good deli or butcher will have bacon that’s sliced to order so you can get it as thick as you want. Nothing beats bacon sliced when you ask for it

I watched LA Confidential last night because I read the book and was surprised how enjoyable it was. The movie took a lot out for brevity but a lot is lost in what was removed.
The book isn’t good, and it’s a bit long, but it never commits the crime of being boring. The stakes are much higher, and whilst it becomes predictable as you realise all the sub plots are tied together, it’s still a fun read to see it all tie off.
The main thing I was interested in was who they cast as Ed Exley, and our own Guy Pierce does an amazing job. An unexpected pull but he fills the role well. He has the acting chops that if they fleshed out his character more he could have played the transactional coward with the thin veneer of the department golden boy.
Russel Crowe was the other main character, and Simon Baker made an appearance. It’s funny that a movie about LA is full of Australian actors.
I think a screen adaptation needed to be either longer to include everything, or somehow cut out even more to focus on the most interesting part at the end.
I’d give the book maybe 3/5 hobbits and the movie probably 2-2.5/5. It’s crazy the film got marked for preservation by the American Film Association or whatever, there should be a rule against including inferior adaptations of already average source material.

I’ve already had a bunch of days off so i don’t fell like doing anything today. It’s also a kids at home day so it doesn’t feel as much like a day off

So, not really any music recording done but I faffed around with some stuff I’ve been meaning to do like figuring out how to make my Circuit Tracks and Rhythm talk to each other. There’s a bunch of music stuff I’ve been meaning to set up or learn so maybe I do that in the evenings after the kids go down instead of just playing games. If I don’t end up recording anything, I’ll be the most set up to record things when I’m readdy.

You should track down and watch Orgy Of The Dead by Ed Wood. I wish a service like Shudder acquired the rights and just turned it into an annual burlesque variety show. The premise has such great potential.

I’ll go if things line up but as you said I’m not going to go out of my way for it. The boys haven’t even properly watched Star Wars to appreciate it yet

I lived there around when it opened and it’s good to see most of the cafes in the area have stuck around.

I showed the boys the 2015 Jurassic World yesterday. I see it as more of an action movie than a horror movie but it has that horror movie DNA because everyone in the movie is an idiot and the whole thing could have been avoided if there weren’t some glaring plot holes and people thought about things for a second

We went to the cafe Three Bags Full in Abbotsford after the museum and it was the perfect way to cap off the day because they give out little dinosaur figures with their babycinos. I didn’t even know they did that, we just went there because the Star Wars cafe was full

There was the reef thing upstairs and the elephant.
We didn’t make it to the Lego Star Wars section but that’s alright because they didn’t scan our tickets and we got Enter Whenever tickets valid until the end of January, so we can still go in free another time

Work funded trip to the museum today as well. It’s meant to be a hot one so good timing. I wonder if we’ll get a seat at the star wars cafe

I found the quadlock ring I’ve been looking for since Easter. I thought it fell by a side table but it was in the pocket of some shorts, and it has only just gotten warm enough for shorts weather.
Unfortunately the phone I have the quadlock case for has the broken camera lenses and the one I’m currently using is so old I probably won’t be able to find a quadlock case now
