So, it’s been raining for quite a while and we just found out we had a leak, here at the office.
We moved in to this office a few years ago and didn’t have any issue with any leaks.
Property Managements are dragging their feet when we told them about the leak.
I remembered buying a dozen of Instant Ramen Noodles for well under two dollars. How at the big box retailer, you know what it is, a dozen of Instant Ramen Noodles costs four dollars.
Just a rant.
In 2024 on average I had been fueling up my car well under $4/gallon. In contrast to that, sometimes in late January 2025 I noticed I started paying over $4/gallon of gasoline.
Just a rant.
I requisitioned a Mac mini for a particular task at the office. I went back and forth on what computer to get. This would be the first desktop Mac at this office.
Having a bit of an adventure with cameras. There were a lot of subjects to capture and at the end of the day I chose a photo of a rock.
Somehow food item can be a symbol of resistance. Resistance to stupid and dangerous ideas.
Speaking of food, a dozen of eggs right now costs more than double than 6 months ago.
One official day listening to Dream Theater album number 16: “Parasomnia”.
“Parasomnia” Deluxe Edition comes with CD of the album, CD contains instrumental version of the album, and Blu-ray contains Dolby Atmos & 5.1 Surround Sound, High-Resolution Stereo Mixes, animated visualizers for each song.
The best part of “Parasomnia” Deluxe Edition is the Instrumental version of the CD. I’ve acquired Dream Theater’s album releases with Instrumental mixes whenever they were made available. My personal collections of Dream Theater releases with Instrumental mixes:
Parasomnia tracklist:
Right if the bat, the record contains 2 Instrumental tracks out of 8. That leaves 6 other tracks that have the different Instrumental mixes. Still worth getting the Deluxe Edition of the record.
On another note, the artworks in the Deluxe Edition are underwhelming. Blame that on the overused Computer Generated Slops, also known as AI Generated Slops.
I both like and feeling underwhelmed by this record. Probably I’ve become jaded when it comes to Dream Theater’s music.
