    • It is exhausting. I did that the first year, running from stage to stage to catch a couple of songs before moving again. By Sunday I was just *unable* to do so. Dead tired. I did less of it last year, and I've got even less of it planned this year. But exceptions must be allowed if the band is deemed worthy. 😅     Brother-in-law came over yesterday evening. We ordered takeaway - I had spicy udon noodles with chicken. Played some TE4 afterwards. Now we're in full prep mode for our vacation. We're leaving on Monday morning (with brother-in-law house-sitting for most of the time, even if it's primarily to feed the cats).     Here's a recap of my TE4 playing:   Career write-up  -  Matches played       YouTube was kind enough to let me know that Avatar have released a new single. I checked setlist.fm, and they've been touring again since the beginning of the month. And their setlist includes their two new songs that I didn't know yet. I have already made amends. Can't have what's essentially my favourite band at the Alcatraz festival playing songs I don't know. 😇 Among the other stuff they've released these past couple of months, is a video of Tower (one of my favourite songs of theirs), but then in a piano version that is *very* similar to how they play it live. So here's that video. Of note: it features Johannes without his clown make-up most of the time (thumbnail excepted), which is refreshing. I love it when he's being all theatrical, but this is perhaps the one song that doesn't require that.   Avatar - Tower (Piano Version)
    • Yes, because I am the same with these things. Well done!!  Now you can get to the fun part of actually making things.     ❤️ my pleasure
    • That's great! I've been rollerblading for over 25 years by now. I'm an outdoor long distance rollerblader. I love just putting them on and going.    What type of rollerblading do you do? 
    • Update -   I started calorie tracking and took it day by day as per @Epsilonte's suggestion   but I kept coming back because I saw it as partial research for my food tracker database   By day 5 the foods I was eating started repeating, so today I am taking a break. Maybe the weekend is a good time to eat intuitively based on the insights you gained through the week.   Maybe there will be other supermarket deals next week and I will get motivated again to track because there will be new entries for the database   (Fun fact: The Netherlands is a very much deal motivated demography when it comes to buying groceries. They only believe something is cheap is it's a deal. Even when it has been artificially blown up beforehand 😬 I'm lucky my friends are just as sticklers/discount hunters who enjoy comparing data and watching money or the amount I like to talk about that sort of stuff increasing since my decrease in income would have been annoying 😆 I might enjoy a job at the municipality's spending coaching but I should probably chill my adhd and focus on things I studied for.)
    • That's really cool, I was just saying in my challenge that I'd like to get my rollerblades out again at some point! I'm very much a beginner, though. How long have you been rollerblading, and what type do you do? (e.g., indoor/outdoor, skate parks and tricks or trails/paths/streets for distance?)
    • ffs I just realised I use an Agile approach (and a Scrum-like one to boot)* for NF goals. I have sprints (challenges) and even sprint planning (zero week) and sprint review (challenge recaps). Just need to add in prospective daily posts (daily stand ups) instead of retrospective ones 😅.   So whats the MVP version of Alanna??   *for those unfamiliar with the term, Agile is a software development approach that focuses on breaking down a project into small tasks, frequently evaluating the priorities, working on the corresponding tasks, and then adjusting plans as priorities, requirements, and other circumstances change.  In Scrum in particular, the work periods are broken down into sprints, and there are meetings to plan and review the sprints (plus many many other meetings, which is why many software developers hate Scrum - it's annoying and time consuming if done incorrectly). 
    • ❤️     That is awesome! I'm glad you're feeling more confident in the saddle again     Also awesome!
    • I am glad things went well and that you had a good day.
    • 🪶🪶🪶🪶🪶🪶🪶 🌱🪶🪶🪶🌱🪶🌱 🪶🌱🌱🪶🌱🌱🪶 🪶🪶🪶🌱🪶🪶 Short walk yesterday, short cycle today.      Then I recommend the book "An Immense World" by Ed Yong. He explores example after example of animal senses that differ from our own, and tries to understand how researchers figure out what the senses are for, and what they might be like subjectively.      I like the harlequin shrimps, but not the plain shrimps. Unlike Hatter, I am not a great fan of creepy crawlies. However, thread derailing is a joy unto me and I shall not discourage it. Continue splashing about happily in the shallow rock pools of my thread, and let me know if you turn over an interesting shell.  
    • This is how I cook, too. Nicely done.   Getting good sleep is a real win. I wouldn’t worry about the missed workout, especially with Hillside coming up. ❤️
