The second part of my Christmas gift for myself arrived today; an Electro Harmonix Little Big Muff. Glorious sound!

Waking up with a cold, Ace Ventura’s hair and Johnny Cash’s voice. I guess it could be worse. It could be the other way around.
A late Christmas present (from me to me) arrived today. It’s a Korg Minilogue XD. I’ve just started playing with it and it sound great.
Now I’m unwinding from the day by playing some Mario Maker. Though right now I’m probably winding myself back up over this hellish course. (Not the one in the photo.)
Today the film and television students made a tv production of a floor ball game. It was an outside broadcast production, so they had to set up all their gear in the arena. I was there as a handler, for the first time on one of their outside broadcasts. It was quite a lot of fun.
Great find at the supermarket today. Perfect start to the year of buying things on plastic discs.
Today I’ve been at home with the kids. It’s been a “study day” at their preschool, which means that the staff have meetings and courses so the kids need to be at home.
Stayed up way too late tonight watching tv. After an episode of Netflix’s Messiah I started watching the Fyre Festival documentary and it was really fascinating. So many tasteless, clueless idiots.
A week or so ago I ordered some electronics stuff that arrived today. Yay! I’ll get back to making the Raspberry Pi music player soon.
As for today it’s been a day of nothing but administrative tasks. The nice part was that I got to work from home which I always try to do at least once a week and it’s a nice change of pace.
I am probably the odd man out here, but when I talk about my problems with the ”culture war” destroying my will to rewatch The Last Jedi, it is mainly not because of Evil Right-Wing-Alt-Right-Nazi-Incel-Hobgoblins, it’s because of their opposite yet still strangely similar counterparts telling me that if I don’t love this movie, it’s probably because I’m a misogynistic racist who hate people who aren’t skinny.
It’s gotta be possible to find a movie okay but not great.
@MrHenko Ctrl-Alt-Ignore them all, go see the movie and try to watch it with a fresh mind, and enjoy the parts you like. 🥳👍
@MrHenko Yeah, I think I see what you mean. I’m of no particular political affiliation, but I guess I’m a bit centrist, with some ideas towards both sides, and some completely my own. I try to get my news from independent sources (if some indeed can be called independent), and otherwise I read with those “ah, of course they’ll say that, being one of them”-eyeglasses. It’s tiresome, but I feel I need to get some information. There’s a lot of good info here on micro blog and the connected blogs too.
Yes, DVDs and blu-ray still suck but having to say ”no, we can’t watch that movie on this tv because it doesn’t have an AppleTV connected, so let’s go to the other room and watch it there” is worse and there are solutions.
2020 is the year when I start buying plastic discs again.
