Last night we said goodbye to Misha. We’re in a real bad way at the moment, just working through our immense grief.

We only had him for 9 years, but it was half his life, and he had an amazing run of relatively great health until very recently.

He was our lovely cuddlebug bastard, and we miss him.

#SydneyGeoQuest was two weeks ago, and it’s been a rough fortnight in which to edit and schedule this video, but it’s finally out! Please enjoy our shenaniganery! #Geocaching

While I’m on observation duty for our cat, the crew have begun the work of yet another building in the city. #lego

So we’ve had Misha at home for 72 hours now, two weeks after the initial hospitalization for vomiting blood, repeated admissions and stays the vets, and a diagnosis of lymphoma.

With him being 18 and finally showing his age, we’re switching to pallative care to make him comfy and loved.

As part of the vlog’s adventure through #SydneyGeoQuest (a video I was supposed to start editing on Monday if it wasn’t for the emotional rollercoaster that was my cat), I ended up conducting four quick interviews with people related to the event.

Just looked at the footage and it looks great! 😮‍💨

Gear goals: I got that scarf I wanted. #wswanderers

After a some trepidation, I have finally bitten the bullet (as I have no nearby sports friends) and booked a seat to the Western Sydney Wanderers match tomorrow - because I’ve always wanted to go to one, and I’m so tired of waiting for someone else to come with.

It’s finally time (for me).

Aaaaand done. #Lego

Build progress. #Lego

This build is coming together nicely. #Lego

Starting on the next modular - the cat is (not very) enthusiastic about it. #Lego

Sat down on the couch with the Megan, after almost two weeks of Christmas/New Years shenanigans + having people over + people staying over + mild family drama.

No one at home now except the two of us and the cat.

Just took in the serenity and silence.

Ended up starting the new year watching Kyle Kallgren’s nearly decade-old video essay From Caligari To Hitler: Imagining The Tyrant, and I feel like I’ve just locked into the mental frame I need to be in for the rest of 2025.

(At the #Lego Store, Jan 1)

Me: Hi, I’d like to preorder the Tudor Corner set please.
Them: Yup, that’ll be $350.
Me: Great. (Unloads several sheets of paper) Let’s go through these gift certificates and see what that comes down to.

(Some time passes)

Them: That’ll be… $130.
Me: (mild fist bump)

The Megan invited me out to grab a couple of cleaning appliances for the house, and while we were out, we checked out an LGS and managed to score a boostie box of The First Chapter (which is either difficult to find or overpriced here). I call that a good end to the year! #Lorcana

Post-Christmas, Pre-New Year sorting, which is probably the quietest time to do it before we do more League scouting next year. #Lorcana

We are NOT getting through our Christmas leftovers fast enough.

It’s done! #Lego

Do I:

1. Hop into the car early tomorrow morning and drive out to grab some suddenly discounted Into The Inklands boosties, or
2. Be content with the perfectly extant Ursula’s Return boosties sitting in the other room?

So the Megan gave me a #Lorcana boostie box for Christmas. My younger cousins saw it they asked if they could open packs, so I took the time to explain how the game worked, only to be interrupted by the youngest, a 7yr old:

“How do we know which ones are expensive and rare?”

My wife has set me up for many rounds of Pack Rush with her.
December 25, 2024 at 1:31 PM
I WAS going to ask the Megan to test her new #Lorcana deck(s) out as she’s now created a 🟣🔴 aggro/bounce, and some weird 🟡/? contraption - but with a bevy of holiday events the rest of the week, and with us running on fumes right now, this might have to wait until (checks) …Friday???

This #Lorcana weekend hangout we’ve had with a friend ended even better than we thought - mid-Jan we plan to spectate a set tournament and she’s staying the night again (so even more Lorcana), then on the following week we’re doing CanCon-Lorcana-Geocaching Block Party weekend.

I’m amped, tbh.

It’s real quiet this morning while no-one is awake, so I’m just putting on the chill music and working to complete this build… #Lego
