So /r/melbourne is back and I'll be able to save my journal. Did back to April last night and will do some more later today. Was actually pretty good reading it back. No, "holy shit that's right!" moments yet, but fuck it was a relief.

Today I have been doing functional crap but finally set my delay and distortion pedals up with all associated leads and the pedals off the floor so the cats can't chew them. Its running through Aux 1 so I can again put a nice echo effect on stupid things like youtubes. Not as fun as when I used to wake and bake but still at least its all working again. Glad I kept that little piano stool. It was nearly taken to the opshop three times I think. Still need to cable up the dj setup amp and speakers but lost my motivation. Another coffee I think, pic attached so you know what heck I'm talking about if you're not a muso. If you are, in before the metal zone (yuck), it's fine.

Scored a nice red pvc jacket from the opshop, put some other recent jacket scores in for repairs, with both costing more than the jackets, but they're worth it. Bought one of those cat tunnels and the cats tired themselves out playing it, really happy with that. I bought a cheap one though and it's a bit shit but it'll do, they don't understand money.

Taking the last of my stuff I need to downsize out of my life to the opshop soon. Fuck... it's almost all done! I've slowed down in the last six weeks cos I was on a bender, but I've stopped drinking and back on top of things. Also finally getting the hang of liquid eyeliner which seems like a big step in the right direction.

Edit: Also nice to post the daily thread for you all, seriously, this place feels like more of a community than the old dt and it was great.

Is there anyway to just do a dump somewhere of my post/comment history?

[–] RosaliePreistley@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't know. I was laboriously copying and pasting.

[–] 00Steve@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Haha there is way too much there for me to have the time or patience to try that method

I understand, I'll be doing it in blocks. Or I might get lazy and just copy each page then edit it all later. Which is highly likely actually.
