I know you and lack of social media well long enough by now.
Hey! I have Twitter! ;P
I mainly prefer Instagram these days since the hashtag systems is a good way to discover accounts with similar interests. It's one of the places where I'm finding new music while I can comfortably post about what I'm putting on my hifi.
I use Deezer to discover new music. Like Somali Yacht Club, for example.
This pandemic has stopped me from having nights out as well as not getting tickets for any gigs or Comic Cons. Any tickets I still have ongoing I'm saving them for when the events eventually happen. I kept my Bloodstock ticket for next year and while nothing has been said yet, I can see the shows for Helloween and Priest with Ozzy being postponed (the latter would be like the fourth time being pushed back by that point). Tbh I'm more looking forward to Helloween as they're doing more than just a London show. Only need to travel to Manchester so happy days there.
I have tickets for a live show that was scheduled in late March, but got postponed a few days before the event. New date is in 2021. :(
I also have tickets for another live event in October. Maybe this whole thing is over by then. And I wanted to attend the WGT in Leipzig for the first time, which should have started next week. But... Yeah, not going to happen.
Next thing to look forward to is a mini festival (called 'Wini Macken', obviously a play on the words 'Mini Wacken'). It's supposed to take place in August. We'll see.
What I have been buying as of late is picking up more CDs again. I went quite some years without building up my collection but have picked up again over the last half year, particularly when I finally got shelves to fit all the CDs in my flat and even now I need more space for them!
There's never enough space for people like us, who like to collect physical media, lol.
I've invested some money into my Amiga last month. Now I have a turbo card (14 Mhz processor! 2 MB RAM!) and a hard drive (55MB!). Plus, I managed to pick up some games I used to play as a kid but never had the original version of.
I think Germany is lucky to have a scientist in charge. Merkel is a physician. I mean, I will never vote for her party and disagree with a lot of views, but I have to admit that she's doing an OK job.
Thankfully you have a leader with some idea on what to do. Boris has not been so great, though I suppose there are worse leaders out there...
His orange twin brother for example.
