Forget those bands QT, 65daysofstatic announced the launch of their No Man's Sky album (as in the upcoming space game)! I love this band so freaking much and I can't wait for the album (as well as the game!) Furthermore, Haken's new album is less than a month away!

Also making me happy is I have sorted out and uploaded my Iceland photo's again. Such a stunning country. Though I am annoyed I know nothing about white balance and had the camera on the wrong settings for a while...

I should note, I have no interest in buying an All Saints album...I just noted that they brought a new one out and I had no idea they were even still a band.

But Deftones and M83 I'm all over.

I shall look into this No Man's Sky album of which you speak. Thanks for the recco

If you don't know 65dos I'd be interested in what you think of them. The NMS album won't be out till near the release of the game but they have a bunch of other albums out.

Slow day at the rehab. Also snow day.

So we 'borrowed' some trays from the cafeteria and went sledding.




Who gets caught? Me. Who gets yelled at? The fella with me. Why? 'Cause they don't think the guy wearing the leg braces is stupid enough to get on a cafeteria serving tray and slide down a hill that has a rock wall at the bottom.

They drastically underestimate my stupidity.

A got an upright piano yesterday.
For free!!!
It's an old primary school one that was getting ditched. I rescued it and now its sitting in my dining room!

So while I can't play the piano for shit, my music theory is a whole lot better than it was, so I've just been messing around building some chords and trying out different inversions of them. Wasn't long before I was transposing some guitar songs into piano chords and having a blast.
I love it!!

For anyone who knows about this kind of shit, it's a Daneman upright acoustic piano.
The lady at the school assured me it were "well priced" when bought, so I might have gotten a bargain!!
However, it's tired and needs a good cleaning and probably some restoration work (slight vibration buzz happening around the middle section of the keyboard).
But for my limited abilities, it sounds good enough.

I imagine my partner will want to get it "Jazzed up" and can't wait to see what it looks like when I come back from Italy in June!!

Also, still got a week at home. Yey!!
Parenthood and chill!!

You can buy it at the state run liquor stores here. And I suspect I might have one or two while in Japan. It's an excellent grain whisky, though I still prefer the japanese single malts.

Hmmm, our liquor is run by the province in LCBO stores, and so Abyss would have the same options as me. I'd love to try it.

They have Nikko in stock, but just the pure malt whiskey, not the coffey grain.

I have a small collection of Japanese whiskeys... I picked up a couple in London, loved, then went on a buying spree when the NAS crisis hit last year. Now any time people travel I look into what's available... I was gunning for a 17yo Yoshi but they were out and the Coffey was all they had so my friend bought it for me AND IT IS GLORIOUS. Seriously for a blend this stuff is amazing, better than some of the 10 and 12yo single malts I've tried.
I'm afraid you're sol w the Lcbo QT. All they seem to have is the Miyazaki NAS that replaces the 12yo. It isn't bad at all tho. I maaaaaaay have bought the last couple of 15yo singles in TO last summer. Sorry not sorry.

Black coffee cut with rum.

Give a shit that I've had it made since before 5am and it's a workday. I'm one of them bad anuses.

Second hand reports (haven't had time to read the papers) claim that the El Nino is over, a La Nina is coming, and we are set to have an above normal monsoon with lots of rainfall. In the middle of this heatwave, June can't come fast enough

It tactfully omits the fact that the main character is the most violent of all women.

Well I'm not physically building it (I work for Transport Scotland and were managing it lol) and I second you on the garden fence lol

It is pretty impressive though

Attended a Jane Goodall lecture last night. That was a life goal. She's a fascinating and amazing woman, and having seen her live was a real treat!

Finally off the Ex's lease! I think I am very close to being mostly unhooked from her.
