Yarrabyte's gone missing again. Last seen behind the tapestry wool in Spotlight. No way of knowing if still there. Should we send out a search party?

Mr Woof's really not doing his guard dog duties well today. There is someone at the front door dropping off the groceries and he's just nonchalantly wandering around the back yard.

Edit: I just left him unattended with some of the shopping bags for a moment. Instead of getting into the lamb roast that was in one of the bags he thoroughly investigated the box of long life milk. He's just not dogging properly at all today ๐Ÿคฃ Maybe he just needs a good walk.

It's bloody beautiful outside, I'm going to find some "work" to do away from my desk while it lasts!

Parent made me go to a travel agent to get a quote, and they quoted 7k for a two week trip to Japan. That includes a tour, flights, accommodation and activities. I asked if that could be lower because I'm on a student budget, and got ghosted. I guess they weren't going to make enough commission.

Parents want me to go on a tour because they think I'll be bored, lonely, get lost or something might happen. I like the idea of it because everything is planned and someone is there to look out for you. Bit too exxy though. Solo travel seems a bit scary, especially as a woman. I flew to Sydney solo last year and ended up connecting with a friend. The moments alone were fine, but having a friend just made it more enjoyable. A highlight was my friend and I trying to find each other in the botanical gardens, except she was hiding from me and didn't tell me where she was. Imagine that in Tokyo. The tour company said they can give me a discount, but I'm thinking maybe I should just wait until the end of next year. It sucks because I've hyped myself up for it, but oh well. I waited 20 years before I went overseas (that was added to my HECS debt), so I can wait longer.

Tours are great but you pay a premium for having everything taken care of you. Also, less flexibility in your trip. I love solo travelling but I understand the thought of it is super daunting. Japan is a great place to have your first experience with this - it's very safe (taking the usual precautions you would anywhere else). Having to navigate a new place yourself is part of the experience, you can do a lot more than you think. And there are other ways to connect with solo travellers. I'm not coming from this with the female perspective though, you can do research on other solo female traveller experiences in Japan to see what it might be like.

Dude check out ik multimedia. If you buy amplitube 5 for 30 bucks you get to choose another 42 plugins for free!!!!

[-] Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 4 points 3 days ago

ooh been a while since I've seen a group buy that's a good deal!

Looking at their website I had no idea they're also leaning into hardware these days lol.

Right? I wouldnโ€™t mind one of those arc microphones but a bit out of reach at the moment lol

Iโ€™m going to grab amplitude and see whatโ€™s on offer. I mean can always go to news but wouldnโ€™t hurt to own a couple.

I grabbed em. There's some real useful ones like T-racks 6 and a few other mixing plugins

Coles didn't have two satay chicken skewers so only supplied me with one. Which is slightly annoying, as one's not really enough for a meal.

Except when I went to pack everything I discovered there actually were two in the package. I'm not sure what happened there, but I guess "yay, free chicken skewer". If they wanted to give me something free it would have been nice if it was a move expensive item though.
