The birth (or death) of a relative, the release of a new program, game, series, movie, the date you were dreaming about, could be anything

    Very lame of me, but I’m really looking forward to the Conservatives losing the next British General Election.

      Not from the UK but excited for that too. Asking just out of curiosty because I’m not too informed on the matter, do you really like the labour program or just happy to see conservatives kicked out?

      Also I was thinking we should stop calling them conservatives and start calling them retrogrades since (at least in my country) they want to strip people of acquired rights making us go back in time.

        I am actually excited for the Labour programme, though I realise I’m in the minority! The lack of enthusiasm is mainly because people have so little faith things will actually get better and partly because Labour haven’t always been great at communicating why they’ve made (IMO necessary) changes to their policies.

        Agree with you about conservatives, but that has always been the problem with conservatism, unfortunately.

    My wife is next to me, holding me in her arms while she sleeps. I am excited for her to wake up naturally and then we will go get bagels from our favorite bagel place.

      That’s wonderful. My wife and I are similarly close and I find myself constantly looking forward to spending time together.

    I’ve been working every day since January. Every weekday, every weekend day, every day. But finally on June 15th I’ll be down to one remote job and can go sailing for a few weeks straight. I’ve finally sort of got my finances in reasonable shape, I’ve paid off my car, and have a little breathing room.

    I bought a steam deck and have been checking every day waiting for it to arrive… Or even be shipped! They finally packaged the damn thing!

    Hmm. I just realized I haven’t been excited about anything in a long time.

    That sucks.

    now maybe it’s big enough to dunk jeans and shirts.

    I feel bad it’s so materialistic but I’m stoked that the new model of the Dirtywave M8 music tracker is shipping this week or next. In the past couple years that single device has improved my music output immensely, and the user community on its Discord is ridiculously friendly and helpful.

    The new model isn’t a radical update, but the new quality of life features plus the confidence that I will use it constantly really has me excited to continue my journey. For me it’s like a toy that’s always fun to play with, surprisingly deep, and after I play for a while I’ve accidentally created something. It’s cut down on my doom scrolling and social media consumption as well. For me, that’s money well spent.

    I’m building a new PC soon and today I’m trying some psychedelic mushrooms for the first time.

    Pay day, I’ve been working on a new project at work, and the time I’ve put in for it gets paid at a higher rate - I’ll end up with a little more than double my usual paycheck!
