How are YOU doing? No, really?
I hope you're all okay out there. The world is a bit... Yeeeeaaaahhhhh, so I hope you're taking time out for yourselves in all of this.

Ohai! 💜
I've been off the socials for a while to get firmly into my (now not so) new job, working on my mental health, and simply avoid all the negativity lately. Just had surgery to stop my ovaries from fucking me over. So, after recovery, it's focusing on fitness and more fun!
Let's fuckin' GO! 🤙

I've just read about Starcadian.
What a huge loss to the synthwave scene. 😥

My heart goes out to all of his friends, family, and fans. 💜

I FINALLY got my GPU pre-ordered that I've been after for a while. (FUCK YOU, SCALPERS!)

Need to build the PC then get back streaming again to share the silliest of games and bring people some laughter during these dark times. I've missed my community so much 🥹

This is how you do a build, right? 😅

I'm so grateful to the bands who put download codes in with their records.
I cannot tell you how happy this makes me!

Actual footage of me when the download code falls out when pulling the record from the sleeve:

I've just seen a snippet from an article about a chocolate bar from the 90s referred to as 'vintage'!

Fuck off! It wasn't THAT long ago, right?RIGHT? 😭

On the plus side, it looks like Bandcamp and Discogs will be getting my RSD savings this year 👀

This year's Record Store Day list is looking sad. This may be the first year in just over 10 years that I have not wanted anything.

Urgh. Time to look at phones. As a Pixel owner with an upgrade coming up, and seeing Google jump on the 'we're not being diverse with our hiring anymore' bandwagon, it's time to look elsewhere.
Phone suggestions please. Awesome camera is a must.
Thanking yous 💜

Oshit... Look who joined the party!!! 🤩

I just wanna be at a bar with my friends, while looking cool as shit, and listen to synthy, outrunny bliss all night. Fuck the world off and just live in that moment with incredible people. 🤙

Sometimes I forget that I'm a grown ass adult and can do what I want in my home.

So, I put some artwork in my bathroom...

Omg. Yesssss! I saw these guys live yeeeears ago now. Sat with my eyes closed just absorbing the soundscapes. Feeling the music. Such an incredible time!

This arrived a day before Christmas Eve. I pre-ordered it with my first paycheck from my current career as a 'well done, you!' gift to myself when pre-orders went live. Opened it on Christmas Day...
It's stunningly gorgeous and worth the wait! Well done, The Midnight! 😍

Me running to the Christmas cheeseboard only to be walloped with the reminder that I'm lactose intolerant! AH WELL! 😁

Merry Christmas, happy holidays, blessed yule, happy food day, merry synthmas from us in our Christmas PJs.

Wherever you are and however you partake, we wish you happiness, love, and a really satisfying burp after all that food! 🖤💜

The wurst kind of wind

On my way to work this morning. Had to walk past a 'German Christmas...' uhh... Collection of sheds, essentially.

Had to double take this one.
ERM... A WHAT WINDMILL? 👀

Ahhhh,.they're so good. Caught them in Baltimore supporting Watch Out for Snakes, Moris Blak, and Street Cleaner. That was a very fun night.
Deffo recommend catching them live!

Go on... Guess my favourite Pokémon. Betcha can't guess!

When she's spooky but is attempting to be festive... Yep. That's all you're getting from me this year!

If no one has told you today, you look great and you're doing amazing.

Keep that shit up! 💜

I'm glad I live in a timeline where I'm around at the same time as John Williams. The documentary on Disney+ is everything.

The world is a better place with you in it.

Take that time for yourself, talk to someone if you need to, and look after that delicate mental health.

You are loved.
You matter. 🖤💜

I'm sharing this because the holidays can be so hard for folk. Heck, I'm one of them. Christmas has sucked since my Dad passed. I struggle!

Please surround yourselves with people you love and those that love you. Please reach out to friends, family, mental health resources...

Today, instead of just calling someone to do my job, I listened to a man talk about the grief he's going through due to losing his father for over 30 mins.
"We don't talk about our feelings! You've made me feel relaxed to do so. Thank you."

It's okay to be sad. If you need to talk, we will listen 🖤

Pulled turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, onions for veg... This should not work on a pizza.

Let me tell you... THE GOBGASMS I JUST HAD!
