Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As long as they're wearing yoga pants, amirite?

A friend of mine paid me in Costa Rican coffee. They're pretty delicious:

I actually own that on DVD. I really liked it! Fortunately, they only did the first three books. Before things got really weird.

Argh, I meant subs. I mix up "neck" and "bridge", too. DERP

Always liked that album. Me: some Rush, some other stuff, but mostly new to me hard rock band, In Search Of Sun. Really digging this. Hard rock is the sweet spot for me.

No shit! That was new information to me, thanks for sharing. And it is pretty cool. I must usually watch subs dubs, because it set me to sub dub.

More Nando's-at-home. Today's flavour is Coconut Milk & Lemon. Had chicken thighs earlier -- added some of the garlic flavour on top after it was done cooking, but while it was still in the oven. Had a delicious, vaguely Thai curry flavour to it. Now making fish, but with just the coconut milk & lemon this time, I think.

Yeah, finished watching the whole thing a couple weeks ago. BRUTAL! WRT both violence and emotion. I really dug the highly stylized visual presentation, the soundtrack, and the premise. So many great moments, I can't pick just one.

Asus VivoBook Pro Ryzen 9. I’m not a gamer, so I wanted something more professional, yet still powerful enough to develop on, and this seemed the best bang-for-the-buck.

Well, if you watch the video, OLED is a bunch of lights -- not just down to the pixel, but down to the lighting element (individual colours of each pixel), and -- like any other light -- burn out, so I wouldn't assume that. I think if I keep the order, I will change the way I usually work, so that it shuts off the screen as much as possible, and will make sure the softwares I use don't derp when it goes to sleep (Tidal does, not sure about Cubase). I'm actually going to check right now that the screen is replaceable.

I have an OLED laptop on order -- do you think I should cancel it?

Any early adopters want to weigh in on this?

Happy birthday, Steve! (party favour noise)

Apparently, Korean supernatural/science fiction/fantasy procedural…somethings are a thing. Black, Sisyphus, Rugal are three I’m watching.

I had vindaloo earlier. It was delicious. They also had something called "Missile Naan" which was naan with green chiles and garlic.

Happy belated birthday! (party favour noise)

Speaking of covers albums, did you know that the Metallica Blacklist is over 4 hours long? FOUR. FREAKING. HOURS. I have not yet been able to bring myself to do it. Today, though, a couple of good albums that stand out: Prog: In Disequilibrium by Isildur's Bane and Peter Hammill -- very much enjoyed, goes from spacy to Peter Hammill's particular brand of eclecticism with contemporary production values. Highly enjoyed, going to make my end of the year list. Electronic/dub: Tauk, Chaos Companion -- very much a vibe, and very much an enjoyable vibe

Spiral Architect, A Sceptic's Universe -- ridiculously over-the-top technical metal

Yello 40 Years -- I actually got the (slightly less) recent box set, but don't have all the variety of players it entails (shiny disk, analog disk, analog tape, &c.), so since this new-ish one is now available on Tidal...listening to this on Tidal. Because priorities.

Tonio K., Life in the Foodchain for some reason.

Oh, man, Knucks is going to be devastated.
