Episode Details

Сію, сію, посіваю З Новим роком всіх вітаю! Щоб Вам весело жилося, Щоб задумане збулося, Щоб ніколи не хворіли, Щоб нічого не боліло, Щоб у праці все горіло Та й в кишені шелестіло! Щоб, як квіти, Ви цвіли Та сто років прожили! It’s a new year, new day! And back in the Beijing, eh?! PSA: Back up your harddrives! Not a good weekend for flying, my heart goes out to the families and friends in Azerbaijani, Kazakhstan and South Korea. New Macbook… COSTLY but… worth? December Drumming updated, Jamuary underway, may look at getting rid of a few things. SLV podcast out, looking to go all in with YouTube this year. Didn’t hit the 1000 subscribers just yet, but that’s because I decided to take another walk around the block on Sunday evening rather than record. These are the choices. Back to work tomorrow! Will this be it? I sow, I sow, I sow I congratulate everyone on the New Year! So that you live happily, So that your plans come true, So that you never get sick, So that nothing hurts, So that everything burns in your work And rustles in your pocket! So that, like flowers, you bloom And live a hundred years! Donate to the show!
