First, Happy New Year!

This morning i treated myself for New Year with Metaphor ReFantazio and No Man's Sky.

I've been on a Muay Thai journey for the past year. New gloves and ankle supports.

I also found a nice metal shifter support on Amazon that'll fit my Playseat Challenge.

Just picked up my Christmas present to myself:

A new refrigerator for the Surf/Moto/Fishing/Camping/Galavant van

So I got a brand-new Audio Technica LP70 for Christmas! However, since the LP70 is an actual record player rather than an All-in-one, that meant getting new speakers for it.

After consulting with a musician buddy of mine, I landed on getting a pair of Edifier R1280T speakers.

They looked to be a solid overall balance between cost ($100), simplicity and sound quality for small desktop speakers, and said buddy who makes music recommended them. I've played a couple records through them, and while I don't really have a major reference point, they sound great and I'm definitely happy with them.

To that end, Good Bye, Victrola. You served me shockingly well for an all-in-one player (at least until you lost the ability to properly play vinyls), and soldiered well beyond the usual expiration date for players of your kind. Legit the best Christmas gift I've ever gotten up until now.

I've also been finding a bunch of records that I legit forgot I bought, so that's also been fun to re-discover.

I bought a used 7 inch tablet. I now have 3 more screens in GT7. The tablet is so slow that it can only be an indicator. 😆

This is actually nice. Not much of a LEGO guy, but an F1 fan.

My daughter wanted company for our male Betta who looked bored. There was also not enough foliage for him to hide in.

So I replanted the tank from scratch and we picked him up a girlfriend. Hopefully he won’t murder her.

^ Girlfriend is well camouflaged in the new plants.

From time to time I get a videogame art book and the latest is Returnal (from Dark Horse). Never completed the game because quite frankly I suck at it, but I love the art and design of the world.

A bottle of Southern Comfort, apparently bottled in the 1970's.

I was born in the seventies, and if I were to write a biography it would be from the point of view of the last drink I poured which would most likely be Southern Comfort - there is no doubt, the Grand Old Drink of the South shaped much of my life.

My plan is to have one shot on my birthday each year... there's one person I know that would have 'got' why this matters to me, and he's dead, so I'll probably raise two shots each year... (one for me, one for him). Depending on how rigid I am about this, it'll take between 20 and 40 years.

Given this is the plan, say hello to Matski's Death Clock.

Cheers.

Bigger Shotglass problem solved. If it was bottled in early 70's it will not have a barcode.

No barcodes on the original labelling.

Whenever I see these colors, I think of Ayrton Senna.
