End of 2019

It's been a while since I've posted anything, and realised so much stuff has been going on!

Immersive has been bought by Komatsu and the software department has almost doubled in size, so I've been flat out at work, but in a good way. We've also lost a few awesome people (Raph, Adam, Luke, and Nikky soon), but I'm really excited about the new team, even though they make me feel really old.

Adam’s last day

I have a new bike! Andrew bought it for me for my birthday, and his family got me the coolest helmet to go with it. I've been riding to work, and am slowly getting my confidence; riding is really hard!

The Perth Royal Show 2019 was another best ever time of year, even though I only went 3 times. This year they had a Sandvik LH517 bogger (one of the really big underground machines) in the WA pavilion, it was so exciting! Also spotted some underground drill bit art. Ava saw her first fireworks, she thought they were too bright and loud (we improvised).

And there's still a few more days of 2019 to go! Yvonne, Simona and the kids, Michael and Iva are over, so we will be spending as much time as possible with them :)

Triple J Hottest 100 of 2019

My votes:

  • Alpine - Dumb
  • Banks - Gimme
  • Billie Eilish - Bad Guy (#1)
  • G Flip - Drink Too Much (#6)
  • Grimes & I_O - Violence
  • Grimes - My Name Is Dark
  • Lana Del Rey - Fuck It I Love You
  • Nero - Lullaby
  • Pond - Daisy (#106)
  • Tame Impala - Patience (#52)

Wish I could have fit:

  • Ali Barter - Backseat
  • Meg Mac - I'm Not Coming Back (#131)
  • Vampire Weekend - Harmony Hall (#109)
 I think Billie Eilish is a contender for #1 this year. Really hope Daisy gets in!

Edit: Of course Billie Eilish won, she also got #101! Flume - Rushing Back as #2 was awesome, I completely forgot about that one. Tame Impala did really well (#18 Borderline, #43 It Might Be Time, which I now actually think is better than Patience), but sucks that Pond just missed out. No Grimes, Banks, or Alpine really surprised me too! It's the children that are wrong.
