I keep asking myself whether I actually *need* Adobe CC. I would only use Photoshop & Dreamweaver (used to be a lazy coder). I started using Pixelmator Pro and Coda 2/Nova and have been happy. Kinda would be nice to redefine my video editing skills though...

I hate shopping. I am more tired after an hour than a whole day at work.

If I had to tell someone who I am using emojis, I'd say: 🏥 🇺🇸 🇦🇺 🏳️‍🌈 🦆 👨‍❤️‍💋‍👨 ⌨️ 🤪

I could complain about having to go to work, but I guess I should be thankful that I've got work. Right now, a lot of people aren't so lucky. :(

Busy, busy, busy lately & tired, tired, tired. Have been a bit bummed out lately but I'm OK now. I just need to appreciate the small good things. :)

It's freezing here. Like 0ºC/32ºF freezing. If I trip and fall, I'll probably shatter, Sub Zero style. (My house is poorly insulated. No matter what I do, it doesn't retain heat.)

I started playing Kingdom Hearts III last week. I don't like it. It's really boring. The story is confusing. I didn't play through the other games in the series. Is that why I'm both confused and bored while playing it?

I'm just curious... what web browser do you use? (I won't lie, I've got 20 of them installed on my Mac and I at least open each one once every few days). I think I use Vivaldi mostly.

I want an 8 GB Raspberry Pi but I just got the 4 GB one for Christmas. I have a feeling that my days of buying the little gadgets I love is going to have to end. I have to start looking for houses soon. I’m moving out of the outback and back into the city early next year.

My Malayalam is marginally better than it used to be. Slowly but sure learning by necessity. ;)

Isn’t it amazing how one of your workmates can totally shit up your day? I’m so glad it’s over.

I've had to go through the weekend with my Hue lights and no bridge. :( Australia Post says it'll be here tomorrow but they say a lot of things they don't mean. I'm also getting my new desk because the one I have is a total piece of crap. Husband likes it tho, so I'm giving it to him.

Isn't it funny? My sleep is shit lately and I complain about it all the time, yet here I am guzzling down caffeine at 8 pm.

I am getting new toys. New desk. New smart lights by Philips Hue. I’m looking forward to playing with the lights in the Vivaldi browser. :)

Benadryl hangover.

I've always had decent, if not good, experiences ordering from HP in the USA... in Australia? Nope. They don't understand how excited (and impatient) I get over new gadgets. Sad really. ;)

I ordered a laptop from HP in April which is still not here. Covid-19, sure. They said it would be here on Mon, but I'm still waiting. They provided a tracking number to me for one of *their* shipments of what I'm guessing is at least 10 laptops. The customer service has been abysmal but I'd rather have that than 3 year old technology in a newly released Mac.

It's kind of funny. My autumn in Australia is colder than my winter in the USA last year. I wish that my walls weren't paper-thin though. :(

I got a Mountain Dew out of the box and found a pubic hair on it. Things must get super crazy at the canning plant.

If I could “just get over it”, I would... happily.
