    Holy shit. I was at Sea World yesterday and looked at the helicopter rides. I feel for the families - this is horrible.

    I spent the first day of 2023 with the family, pounding the pavement of Sea World. Still a great day out, but for some reason it felt like there was less there in the way of marine activities now compared to when we last visited 10 years ago.

    I don’t think I could ever live here, but I do love the walking track that runs up and down the beaches of the Gold Coast. Such a gorgeous view in every direction.

    After an epic 12 hour drive, we are finally on holidays up on the Gold Coast. Nice apartment, walking distance to the beach. Pretty tired, but looking forward to tomorrow!!

    I just spent 45 minutes ransacking the house looking for the key to the car’s roof racks. I searched every nook; scoured every cranny… only to find them attached to my wife’s key ring.

    …

    Ugh.

    Damn Christmas is so freaking exhausting. I’m shattered.

    Just finished watching Spirited on Apple TV+ and thoroughly enjoyed it. The Wil Ferrell/Ryan Reynolds combo is perfect and the songs are catchy and funny in perfect amounts. Good Afternoon!

    3 Die Hard movies done and I’ve finished Christmas wrapping 4 days early this year.

    Not sure if I’m a slow wrapper or we spent too much on gifts. Probably both.

    Wrapping presents and watching Die Hard. It’s officially Christmas time.

    Video games

    I finally got around to finishing Luigi’s Mansion on the Switch last night.

    Was cute, simple fun, but I have no desire to go through again collecting Gems and ghosts, or playing any of the multiplayer stuff.

    Next up I think I’ll work Skyward Sword off the pile of shame.

    I guess I spent a bit of time getting ready for that David Gray White Ladder gig this year.

    Oh! Today, randomly, I discovered my old blog. Well, one of them, anyway. I have now migrated it over here.

    Just need to find some time to fix up the linking and images. But it was fun to read some of that old stuff!

    Today I pulled out the Rock Band instruments and rocked out with the kids all day. My fingers ache, my shoulder is sore and I regret nothing.

    It was worth every single second.

    Parenting

    I don’t know if it’s just the relief of getting through the school year and mentally switching off, but both the kids have been terrors today. Absolutely exhausting. I’m completely shattered from dealing with them.

    Video games

    I think I’ve hit the point in Arkham Knight where it’s time to quit. New game plus, most of the AR challenges, and the story driven DLC campaigns all done.

    Just don’t think I have it in me to try and Platinum this game. It was fun, but not as fun as the first 2 Arkham games.

    My Nintendo Switch play summary for 2022 shows I probably didn’t play as much Switch as I should have.

    This year’s gaming wrapup from PlayStation. So happy I bought a PS5 on launch day to play PS4 games this year!

    Gave up on trying to document the Lego Advent calendars. Had a couple of busy days and then forgot.

    Maybe next year.

    Work stuff

    I like to try and work things out when I can, but I think it is time for me to just accept I will never be a web developer. Or any other type of developer. This old dog is not learning those new tricks.

    Hilariously just woke myself from an afternoon nap with a loud snore.
