I am going to see yousuke yukimatsu by myself at the roundhouse!

Same as every weekend: getting drunk, watching YouTube, playing videogames. Probably all at the same time.

Heading to an Invasion Day rally.

There's other, more low-key events on over the weekend, too. Some lists of events:

• https://www.amnesty.org.au/invasion-day-2026-rallies-events/
• https://antar.org.au/issues/survival-day/events-listing/

Nothing. A significant portion of our population recognises the date as a date of remembrance for lives and culture lost in a hostile invasion.

Close to nothing. Playing Arc Raiders. Doing my online course.

DND outside!

Eating lamb chops and snags with a beer or 2.

Locking-in and finally finishing Baldur's Gate 3.

It's taken me two years and 170ish hours, I think I'm only 15-20 hours away from the end. By far the single longest save file in a single player game (that contains a story) that I've ever played.

Me and my buddies are having an "Australia Day" on the next weekend.

Reminiscing about the days when we'd be at Triple J Hottest 100 parties on Australia Day, enjoying beers and snags and scoffing at the position of every song (should have been higher / should have been lower).

Now it's just on a Saturday so everyone with kids is out doing extra curricular activities, some are working, and most of us forget the day it's meant to be on anyway. And you're not allowed to call it Australia Day anymore either.

So fucks me. Eventually one of the "change the date" groups will actually supply a suitable alternative, we'll move the public holiday, and maybe it can be a day of relaxing and fun in the sun again. Until then I'm going to sleep in, eat cereal for lunch, and watch some TV in the AC.
