Continuing my list of fifty Canadian songs I love from the past fifty years, 1982 is just a good old-fashioned banger.

I already posted about the new Slayyyter album yesterday, but I have to post again because it's just THAT GOOD and it's been playing on loop since yesterday. If not on my deezer, then through watching album reactions on youtube (Come on, I need more of them.)

Like, there's not a single weak track on the album. There are slower tracks, sure, but honestly, the album needs them to calm its (new) tits for a hot second, before it can keep going. A bit of a breather, so to speak. And even then, the tracks are slow, but the lyrical content continues its grittiness. I can't even give a favourite song, because I can't decide which one. 

The last time I was spinning a single record on repeat this intensely was probably when I discovered Motionless in White's Scoring the End of the World. And before that Halsey's If I Can't Have Love, I Want Power. And both of those albums were my most listened to a the end of the respective year. So, going by that metric, Wor$t Girl in America is going to end up as my most played album for 2026 (and we're only just in March, wtf.)

Who's signed up for an agility competition on Pentecost because of the annual assembly of the dog club?

Since the sign up for the rally obedience tournament earlier this month didn't work out (was put and kept on the waiting list…), I decided to go for the agi tournament our club is organising.

Need to find time and place to practise again, haven't attempted a parkour since last year… But at least A0 won't have the weave. Just dog walk, A-frame and tunnel. Which Gojira can do. (The problem is my imprecise leading, really.)

Updated my pinned post and journal policies. Mostly just the arrangement of words because I felt like it was a jumbled mess. Hopefully this is better? 🤔

The new Slayyyter album (WOR$T GIRL IN AMERICA) is out and what can I say, it fucking slaps. Definitely worth the wait. It hits right in that niche where you're kinda still partying but you're also looking at the lyrics, going "oof," and anything even remotely pop/dance/electronic related needs more of that darker/grittier vibe, imho. 

The first artist that I noticed just unabashedly having darker themes combined with more danceable music like this was Tove Lo, but that was... *does math* almost 12 years ago (good fucking god). And back then that kind of music was not the genre I listened to, so I probably missed some great artists. All the better that I found Slayyyter a few months ago. I hope the album sells well and there's some recognition for it! (In fact, I just ordered the album while typing this entry, lol.)

On a random note, I think I also recognised some Marina (and the Diamonds) Electra Heart influence around the edges of UNKNOWN LOVERZ. Nice.

Weather Shenanigans

Truly, Germany is experiencing the peak of early Spring weather. These past three days, we've had lovely sunshine with just a few clouds and pleasant temperatures, annoying drizzle, heavy rain, a sudden bout of hail, and then this morning awful cold with a really uncomfortable wind.

I say peak of early Spring, because this weather is actually relatively common, or at the very least normal enough to be responsible for its own... well, I suppose calling them "weather proverbs" is a good description. The most well known of them being "April macht was er will", literally meaning "April does what it wants", figuratively meaning that any kind of weather is possible in April. Sunshine and heat, rain and thunder, even snow and ice. It's actually not unheard of to have a snow covered Easter. It's probably just as likely as a White Christmas, nowadays (White Christmas being exceedingly rare. The last one in my hometown was in the 90s.)

There's also weather proverbs/country sayings that you're not supposed to plant anything frost-sensitive until after the 13th to 15th of May (depends on the region... the further South you go, the more it tends towards the 15th), when the "Ice Saints" have passed, because cold snaps happened often enough to result in some sort of recogniseable pattern that helped create this soft rule. 

In the end, you can only apply another German saying to these weather shenanigans: "There's no bad weather, only the wrong choice of clothing."

Also almost finished Mum's Easter presssie.

Madame Chop Chop has arrived

#bookbinding #guillotine #travelersNotebook Here she is, ready to get up to the attic. Only about 18kg something, according to the postman. I splurged and also got a new ruler. 30cm are a bit too short sometimes, 50 should be a good length.

Isn't it stupid when you end up writing something kinda great, but it's the B-plot of your dumb fanfiction?

I just have to share it, though.

[Background: On a deep space mission, my OC Jody's ship is threatened by debris from a "comet" burning with an unknown radiation. She takes her sharp-shooter and one other to go out on the hull to destroy the debris before it can puncture the hull. All three are burned by radiation.

In a delayed reaction, all three momentarily "die" and Jody finds herself perceived by an awareness so alien it is entirely outside her ability to comprehend (her umwelt, the philosophers would say). They awaken to find their radiation burns have healed, and afterwards, new wounds heal abnormally fast.

Almost a year goes by.]

Jody went into her room and changed, petting Sassette's head, and fell into bed.

And fell right through it.

And kept falling.

And falling.

She fell forever, through eternity.

Union Strikes...

It's so difficult to not be annoyed at the 9th strike in the public transport sector this year. Of course I want the bus and train drivers to be paid adequately and to have proper working conditions, but as someone who absolutely relies on public transport due to a lack of driver's license (for monetary and health reasons) it kind of sucks. I'll have to walk 1 ½ miles to work, tomorrow morning at 5:45 am, because of the lack of bus connection caused by the strike.

I sure hope they get a proper offer for pay and work conditions soon because this is annoying. And I'm not even mad at the bus drivers themselves, I'm mad at their employers (who keep trying to guilt the drivers because they "harm the customers with the strike". Yeah, well, duh, it's not like they can pull leverage out of their ass.)

I'm also miffed that the announcement was made only 9h ago. For some people that's very short notice to figure something out that isn't a taxi (which isn't exactly cheap either.)

I can post to DW from here? Testing testing

It works! Much wow!

Even with Friendica and Hubzilla having a few hiccups connecting to each other, Friendica is winning me over. Hubzilla is my new Social Media bestie, though. So many possibilities, even if it's really clunky to get used to. At some point, I really want a self-hosted Hubzilla hub to do my own things there.
The other fediverse programs (Are they called programs?) might tempt me a little, but not beyond trying to poke at things. Hubzilla on the other hand, might be so useful. Social media feeds, websites, wikis, articles and one can have different channels for each.

I just need to also read up on Raspberry Pis…

Doing things again, finding new stuff

Finally sat down to write an idv fic after a good while. Idk when will I properly get to finish it but I'm just happy to work on some idv stuff again. I have another fic that I wanna work there too, so I might get to finish them at similar times. They're both dmnoir fics so more of that is always nice.

I've also been making proper progress on silksong for once lol. I've caught up to where I was left before I got linux installed, so I was now mostly trying to figure out where to go next. I got one of the major bosses down and realized where to go finally. Also found out where to get the clawline ability after not figuring it out on my first run of the game. Apparently I just needed to go to another lava filled area which I hate, so I kinda just ignored it until. I realized I kinda needed to do that. At least now I can go to the mountain area.

On other topics, I found this site called pikidiary. It's for micro blogging but more cute and you can customize it a little bit more than your usual micro blogging platform. There was another one similar to it called hjonk that someone sent in a discord server i'm in, but for some reason, I did not get an email once I sighed up. Too bad, considering it was pretty ok looking and seems nice. More customizable than the first one it seems too, but what can you do right now.

I've been very lazy regarding colors stuff. Have yet to make the move to the new place, but I don't even know where to start still. No amount of looking at php code is really helping it, I get overwhelmed every time I look at it. Idk if I can even do this anymore, which is a shame since I don't think I'll ever get the possibility to have a site for that ever again. It would be dumb to just let it waste away empty, but the struggle of just making it work is too much. Idk what to do regarding that.

New Music

It's strange, but a few years ago, I sort of stopped listening to new releases by my favourite artists. Even years later, I still look at all the releases I missed and I find myself hesitant to give them a first listen. 

I do listen to new music in general of course, I keep adding new artists to my collection, too. It's not like I'll only listen to songs that were released before 2010 or something. But when it comes to the old favourites, it's like part of me is scared to be disappointed by newer releases or to not like them as much as the older ones, especially if I missed out on multiple albums due to life circumstances.

So yeah, I guess, in a sense, with some artists I did stop listening to them around 2010, lol. That said, I am mildly hyped by the upcoming release of Worst Girl in America by Slayyyter this Friday. The singles released so far slap really hard and I have high hopes that I'll like at least 50% of the album, lol.
