So, ok, next week is not off to a great start, either. Fell while skateboarding today, and now my right shoulder hurts and I don’t want to move it. Then, this time there have been Covid cases in kindy. Luckily Zoe and the two of us are fine (so far), but it sucks for all the parties that are directly affected. And now the kindergarten is understaffed; and we’ll first try to get another PCR test for Zoe before sending her again (and wait for others to test, too). That means work-juggling continues.

Sorry for the negativity. Maybe now 12 hours of shoulder pain is making me a little grumpy. 🤷‍♂️ (don’t feel sorry, I fell while skate-boar-ding🙄.)

Here’s a little Monolord bass riff for you. Could never get this out of my head after I first discovered it. It’s good practice for my finger playing, which I’m still not fully used to (but which is a lot more fun than playing with a pick – for some bass parts at least).

And this entry is also a little test for my new video setup, which should look (and sound?) better than previous tries. And this new arrangement is also a little easier to set up, so I’ll hopefully record a little more in the future.

Oh, and I bought another bass. A 5-string this time. Because I ended up leaving my first bass in the rehearsal room permanently, I missed one at home.

So, we had a bit of a Argento theme going last weekend. This reminded mea lot of Susperia, but was not as good unfortunately. Visually, yes,very nice. Great ideas and scenes once again. And that whole hauntedhouse theme. But storytelling was a bit all over the place and I wasleft wondering what the purpose of certain scenes were beyond “let’s putthis cool scene in there, too”. Still: certainly not a wast of time thisone!

This had a bit of a slow start and the acting was partly a bit amateurish. But overall, this was a very enjoyable watch. The story was very good overall, it had suspense, and some scenes were just great. The whole sequence with the dog! Or the grand finale. I mean, he was standing *exactly* behind him!

And it’s all fine, chopping off limbs and murder people in unimaginable ways. But when their friends then just shrug and get on with it, that’s just next level crazy stuff!

While I did come to enjoy cycling videos, this wasn't for me. It waslacking context, editing was terrible, and some driver's attitude andmad skills rubbed me the wrong way. But I might just be not familiarenough with the whole bike messenger, alley cat race scene.

There was some great driving, though! And the filming was probably veryunique at the time. I mean, come on, two comparatively big cameras on ahelmet (there were no GoPros at the time), plus more mounted on thebike, and then keeping up with drivers racing through dense traffic,producing useable footage. That certainly get some stars from me.

It’s been a bit of an chaotic week here. Zoe being sick at the beginning of the week, and then two positive Covid PCR pool tests in kindy (at least one of which was false alarm) meant she was home four of five days. Works just fine with two working parents. Not. Hopefully next week will be better.

I recently bought Pixelmator Photo for iOS and now I can finally do all my image editing on the iPad.

Which is missing for me from Apple’s “Photos” app is a “Retouch” tool, which I use for dust-removal – and for which I had to use the Mac-variant for. Until now. Because Pixelmator Photo has it. I don’t know what took me so long.

I DIYed me some wind-noise reducers using a sock and a bit of velcro. With my new bike, I started riding a bit faster and one thing that bothered me was all that wind noise. So I looked for possible solutions and came across these catears. But before ordering something pre-made so seemingly simple, I wanted to try making something like this myself. So, I cut a sock, glued on a bit of velcro and wrapped the whole thing around my helmet strap. Et voilà. And it indeed works and reduces the wind noise significantly. And it does not look too strange IMO.

In December we watched this as Zoe’s first feature-length movie. It wasa good choice: the “bad guys” weren’t all that bad, the action wasmoderate and it was just 70 minutes long or so.

We all enjoyed this and Zoe got a first taste at paying attention to astoryline for more than the 15-20 mins she’s normally accustomed to.
