Oh, I think next weekend the last weekend for the show! Did you enjoy it?

I actually didn’t plan on joining the group for this particular event but I’m really glad I did. Was mesmerizing and some really good photo opportunities.

The only caveat is watch what the wind is gonna do on the day. They have massive smoke machines to bounce lasers off and a high wind day will blow it away.

You are fine to purchase tix last minute as well

Morning Llab! Nice pic ☺️ today I am just watching UFC and chilling at home

Hey, hey! Who is fighting this round?

[–] Force_majeure122@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago

The headliner fight is Aljamain Sterling defending his title against 'Suga' Sean O'Malley. The champ is a significant favourite, but it would be really fun for the division if Sean O'Malley wins it, and he does have a shot!

Got a Wynton Marsalis concert at 2 that my brother got me a ticket for. Weirdly enough I don't really feel like going now, after all this time... Been a hectic week, socialised heavily four days in a row, today is solo but I kind of want to just flop

We saw him last time he was out. The first half of the concert then was him playing jazz stuff and it was one of the best performances I’d ever seen. The second half was his own composition which just was not our thing at all and it was so disappointing. There was a guy a few seats along from us who had loved the first half too, standing ovation and whooping and everything, and in the second half he just slumped lower and lower in his seat and half-heartedly clapped a few times at the end.

For as much as my love for Jazz in general, I have to admit I had to look him up.

Also, is it… odd that when I looked him up that the first highlighted question was, “What’s the downside of Wynton Marsalis?”.

(On a silly side note, I totally dig his name.)

Just stuff. Washing, cooking, eating etc. You know just stuff.

[–] Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Oh yes, I know the stuff. I usually spend weekends trying to run from it. What’s for din tonight?

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

Oooo I don't know yet.

Alternating between household chores and resting. My boring sunday push.

[–] Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone 4 points 1 year ago

Sometimes we gotta love a boring Sunday!

I’m in bed with a cat on me. Drawing with a stylus on phone while lying on my back and she’s lying on my front. Neither of us are moving any time soon
