Short term: new shoes! I ordered them online, they should arrive any day now. Looking forward to having something nice to wear in the summer.
Mid term: forging our wedding rings! We have a workshop coming up in a couple weeks where we'll be forging our very own rings under supervision of a professional jeweler. Jewelry is a very lovely thing on it's own, even more so when I'll be creating them from scratch together with my partner - the love of my life.
Long term: our wedding next year! There's still so much preparation to be done and so much money to save up until then, as well as the honeymoon right after that. It's all very exciting!!
death
The next Lemmy release so I can finally continue with my Lemmy bot.
Donald Trump's death. Really gonna enjoy that whenever it comes
And Putin and Bibi, basically all power hungry war mongering old fucks
This! I’m not a drinker but the day Donny dies I’m gonna get fucking trashed and celebrate.
I was just thinking of that. I imagined the US military actually serves it's purpose to defend the constitution, attempts to arrest trump, he resists and then he dies.
Is just wishful thinking tho...
we gotta make sure Vance dies first
I'm not concerned about Vance as much as I am Trump. We'll worry about Vance next.
A number of artists I like have had/will have shows here around Seattle this year, and I decided to combat the inertia by splurging and buying tickets to most of them. I always did love live shows (but damn, have they gotten more expensive). I'm
I've already seen Eddie/Suzy Izzard, who was as delightful as always. Soon will be seeing Pixies, The Offspring, Josh Johnson, Demetri Martin.... I think I'm forgetting somebody.
The Pixies are touring? What year is this?
After ten years keeping bees as part of a charity project, next year I'm leaving that and getting my very own bees. I'm very excited at the prospect!
Also, at the end of this year I'm going on a trip abroad for the first time since 2019. I'm quite apprehensive but still looking forward to it.
Going to the UK in October, looking forward to it!
A future wave and welcome, bring your brolly! Whereabouts will you be visiting?
London, Salisbury/Stonehenge, and Liverpool. 10 days total. I've always been a bit of an Anglophile, a big history nerd, and a huge Beatles fan. I can't wait!
Liverpool? My condolences, at least it's not Birkenhead on the other side of the mersey.
Awesome, still never made it to Stonehenge yet. You'll have a blase! Annoyingly, I'm London for a few gigs next weekend or Saturday for the Solstice would be ideal
Music is central to my life, so upcoming releases, gigs, clubnights and festivals are my escapism drugs. That and uh, the actual drugs
Going to the wedding of some close friends too in July, they're great people so I'm sure it'll be a blast!
Finally, slowly but surely making progress on my house which I bought three years(!) ago, both in terms of much needed maintenance and filling out with furniture. Still lots to be done!
Exciting! Enjoy the ride, my friend!
Building a fence. It's really going to improve my life.
It'll be fun to build. Look good. Contain my dog. Keep deer away from some stuff. Be a trellis for climbing flowers.
I've built a lot of fences.
Figuring out why I'm sick! I saw a new doctor today. The staff was nice. Every single time I step foot in the office, my blood will be stolen. Exciting!
Good luck! I hope the docs come up with solutions as well as a diagnosis, and you recover.
Hopefully! Today was just intake. They took all my blood. Okay, a lot of blood.
That's how vampire mafia works
See, that's what some other people told me as well! I'm fine if the vampires want my possibly tainted blood, just as long as they send some of it to testing to find out what's wrong!
I'm working on a freelancing project for a company that's going to be paying me over $5k for the work I've done. I don't know what I'm going to be using the money for but it'll be nice to not have to worry about money for a while.
My Rollerblades should be here Wednesday! Last I had a pair I was probably 17, but I started playing Bomb Rush Cyberpunk (spiritual successor to Jet Grind Radio) and was instantly hit with the urge to get back out there.
Moving far away from the place I have lived almost my entire life. Like you said, it's hard to see much of a future - there isn't one here for me. It's unaffordable, I hate most of the neighbours, and I'm paying rent at twice the cost of a mortgage payment. A renoviction would make me homeless. Fuck that and fuck this city, I'm out this summer.
Good for you. First thing when you land in a place you like and can afford is to build a strong and reliable support system. Good luck to you!
Thank you. I'm a mega-loner hermit and where I'm going is a very small town. If there's a place for me in the community there I'll give it a shot, but even if not, I still think I'll be a lot better off than I am now.
Eventually not living anymore.
Yup.
The Winds of Winter being released. Surely its coming any day now...
But for real, the youngest is going to school in September so I will have an extra day off in the week with no work and no kids.
Retirement
The sweet oblivion of death. No seriously, oblivion sounds awesome. Like that time I had surgery, but without the waking up afterwards part at the end.
My daughter is turning 12 and going to secondary school after summer. I'm hopefully graduating my bachelor after summer. My wife is starting nursing school after summer.
Lots to look forward to.
My first therapy appointment tomorrow, which is way overdue. Somehow lucked out that there was someone in-network, checked all the boxes I needed, and literally 3 buildings over from my work.
My oldest daughter is giving birth later this month. It's not my first grandchild, but it'll be the first one I get to have in my life. (Long story, in short one of my daughters didn't take her mom and dad's divorce well, nor her mom's subsequent marriage to me.)
So a new chapter of life begins. Concurrent with all the other ongoing chapters, of course....
I have the same problem.. um I guess the resurgence of 80s style things again? Seems like a lot of people love the designs (I always have) and more and more stuff is trying to mimic that style. Also the resurgence of records and tapes is good, we need to own our media again and stop streaming. Also VR improving will be fun if we can keep corpo shit out of it
The release of a fully fledged steam OS for desktop, hopefully this year!
Bazzite can already desktop so you dont have to wait for steam to do it. But steam, kde & co really help push linux forward
I built a PC with an AMD processor/GPU and only have bazzite installed on it, so trust me I am very well aware of it lol
I really like how to set it and forget it steamOS is. Bazzite is very close and very impressive, but I use steamOS on my steamdeck and I just prefer it overall.
Every time I say I want SteamOS, people come tell me to do bazzite - I know what it is, what I want is SteamOS.
Watching the collapse of civilisation and seeing people murder each other in the streets over food. Ha ha, silly humans.
Release of REMATCH, after that, depends on how Europe responds to USA
The summer holidays!
the world to be sane again, I think it will be a long time
