5 things makes a post

sideways1) "Waiting six months to move into my unit isn't so bad" was a valid thought four months ago. I am antsy. I want it to be done. Every now and then I am hit with the absurd fear that I will move in and then within months have to sell and move again, barely experiencing the place at all.
2) Cute article in the news about a cartoon I remember fondly from childhood, Li'l Elvis Jones and the Truckstoppers! Punchlined by the less cute but undeniably true observation that the arts in Australia is in a pitiable state, sigh. Do not ever get M started on the subject. (What was it about 90s Aussie kid shows that lead to the absolute catchiest theme songs? Round the Twist? Lift-Off?)
3) Autumn rain! Out of season but enthusiastically welcomed all the same. If it rains out my event in two weeks, however, Zeus is getting it in the neck with a blunt pencil.
4) Been pondering on and off about the fact that if Spotify vanishes tomorrow I will have pumped hundreds of dollars into a music collection to no lasting effect. The problem with rebuilding my harder copy collection is I used to just buy everything through itunes back in the day and now I barely know where to start finding and organising files. Bandcamps and Soundclouds, probably? No point buying CDs, I don't own a laptop with a disc drive anymore. I know monopolies are a terrible thing but the craving for simplicity is real.
5) Relatedly, a bunch of friends traded our 'personal' playlists and I was reminded I'm really quite fond of my own. It's grown well-rounded over the years.
