well, this is annoying. i thought i'd taken the election to do the "quick method" of HST returns for 2023, but turns out i didnt actually submit it, and now i've got to go back and get alll those HST amounts out of my expenses. 😫

oh, actually it's tonight! and this'll be the first time david's touring as his own drummer, which is cool. folks are saying it's giving a whole different feel this time around, and from the video samples, i bet it's a good one.

he’s playing at the great hall again tomorrow night (toronto); wishing we were going again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXJyFBVK-NY

new "santa cruz" pedro the lion album is one of his best ever i think… hopefully i’m not overselling it — it’s a lot about his childhood experiences, ones which resonate w me. and the production is in my wheelhouse… on first listen it was kinda underwhelming but now i think it kinda clicked.

why does sam altman always look like his soul got sucked out by some kind of red skull nazi time portal? #openai #nazitimeportal

my dad found a pretty wild medical text at a local charity shop

all these people scrambling to back up their old google analytics data before the whole system gets deleted on july 1. makes me glad i got the process going last week. bet there’s crazy amounts of API requests slamming google right now.

one thing i really miss from twitter is the people who would do in-depth threads on history/archaeology/science/trivia topics. do those accounts exist on mastodon?

well, got one dvd burned. waiting on some new discs to do the others. in the meantime, putting the dvd covers together. difficult to find cases in stores nearby, so had to cannibalize some old wii games and movies

i had the brilliant idea to do custom DVDs of the "tolkien edit" of the hobbit movies for a father's day gift. now at a friend's house attempting to burn dual layer DVDs on their old imac, and it's not going well. got the message "disc burning failed due to a medium write error" after spending 1.5hr burning the first.

bernie vs zizek? phenomenal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wAkOPk7-vA

(cat takes my spot when i get up though)

today i’m working on my back. standing desks aren’t just good for standing!

trying out the pro trial of mona for mac, and it’s a nice client! especially now that i have the (temporary) ability to tweak the theme colours.

this week, the kei truck hauled:
- antique bed + mattress
- couch + large cat condo
- dresser, desk, chairs, shelves, misc (helped family move)
- several hundred KG of cement + forms
- corner display hutch

haha wow — the ivy that covers the wall outside is making its way inside!
