Skydeck 2024!

Hey there, everybody! I hope you’re all well.

Last night, I went to the Skydeck with Roary, it was so much fun!

I was waiting for a job to come in from Triple R yesterday but it never happened, maybe next week. So I decided to go to the Skydeck instead. It was really nice weather and it was so good to get out and about again, first time in a while for me. So yes I’m feeling really great today for my Saturday, and I am just going to go now and relax for the rest of today.

I have (attached) my photo from yesterday of the sunset from the Eureka Skydeck. I bought a cup too from the souvenir shop. It was so much fun, have a great weekend everybody, and all the best, ta, Alisha.

Happy TGI-Friday!!

Hey there, everybody!

Over the last day or so I have been having problems with my Facebook. It’s not great, I really don’t use Facebook that much anymore anyway, but I’d still like to post stuff sometimes and see what my friends are up to.  At the moment I can’t put any text and I can only post images at this stage it seems. Anyway it may resolve at some stage in the future but for now I’m posting elsewhere.

Happy TGI-Friday everybody, I hope you’re all doing well! I decided to take a photo of me today, for use maybe down the track, so I’ve got a current photo of me. Anyway more on that when I hear more about that in the coming weeks, but yes cogs are moving and mobilizing with me hehe. When I know something I’ll let you all know, it’s an exciting time for me right now.

Have a great extra-long weekend everybody and I’m sure I’ll catch you all again sometime soon! Time for a beer, all my work is done!

All the best, ta, Alisha.

Out and about at Werribee Zoo!

Hey there, everybody! Happy Sunday!

I got up early this morning. The sun was coming into my living room when I opened my blind this morning. I took a photo of my living room with the morning sun which also shows my new plant in my home in my high-rise apartment.

Today I got out and about to Werribee Zoo, it was so much fun! After that we then went onto Wyndham Harbour to get a coffee and sit outside looking across the boats on the harbour, it was so nice out. Thanks Roary!! I really enjoyed myself, it was such a great day out!

(See my 3 photos attached) 1 photo of my living room with the morning sun and 2 other photos of a bird ‘Wren’ and a ‘Wild African dog’ at Werribee Zoo. Have a great week this week everybody and I’m sure I’ll catch you all again sometime soon, probably sometime at the end of the week. I’m going to go and have a beer now and celebrate the end of a great day out today, all the best, Ta, Alisha.

Say hello to ‘Pothos!’

Hey there, everybody! I hope you’re all doing well.

I got up at 6am early this morning to go to Bunnings. I went with Roary to pick up my new adventure for me, ..meet ‘Pothos’!

Pothos is the name of my new plant that I got today, I want to have something different to do and something to look after. Pothos is a Devil’s Ivy plant, and supposed to be hard to kill, it’s an indoor plant and I have welcomed it into my life. I also found a pot that I liked and got some stakes for it to grow with. Thanks to Dan and Phoenix for showing and explaining about their Pothos plants, really great stuff. I also looked for something for it to sit on. I went to Fantastic Furniture which has the oak look that matches all my stuff, because all my stuff is from them. I found a few things I liked but the all oak table that I saw looked to fit my space perfectly. It is really well made, but it was pretty expensive, oh well, I like it so I guess that’s all that matters. The plant will get the diffused morning sun through my window where it is there. Thanks to Roary for helping assemble my table and taking me to all the places I wanted to go to this morning, really great stuff, thank you so much Roary! We also got breakfast at Mc Donald’s which was nice and I read the paper, as we waited for Fantastic Furniture to open.

With me, my mood has picked up a bit with getting out and about today, rather than what it has been like for the last 2 or 3 weeks with my down time. I think going out and doing stuff and doing other things rather than the same stuff I do especially compy stuff is definitely something I’m looking to do more of. I also did my weekly foodies shop this morning and paid all my bills, OMG there were so many bills haha!

So yes, I’m just going to go and relax now for my Thursday afternoon, and have my lunch, happy tail end of the week everybody! I’ll leave you now with my two photos, a photo of my new plant up-close on my new table and a photo of the space around my plant in my living room in my high-rise apartment, and Pothos’s new home.

(see attached photos).

Well that’s it for me today, time to relax and to have my lunch, all the best everybody, ta, Alisha.

Down Time – Update.

Hey there, everybody!

I’m writing this ‘Down Time’ update for you all.

I have been feeling really empty in the last few weeks and it’s getting worse.
I have lost interest in everything I do, though hopefully investigating new interests and me starting at level zero, more news on that late this week.

For now, I’m just trying to get through my days. I have zero motivation to do anything or start any new projects.
This down period is the worst it has been for a long while. With that said I won’t be releasing anything new for a while until I’m feeling better again.This Friday I have a lot planned, to get out and about and have some new adventures and experiences, so hopefully that will make me feel better again.

I’ll let you all know how I go with it later this week, a clue is, I may get myself a Bunnings sausage while there haha, more info soon.
So anyway, hopefully I’ll feel better soon. I struggled to even take a picture for this write-up, see photo attached of me wearing my Iron Maiden T-shirt this afternoon hehe.
(See attached photo of me, my raised eyebrow is so funny haha! “What is this Spock!” Right now I’m enjoying some cool white wine and banana bread, it’s delish! 

Have a great week everybody. Ta, A.

Me this afternoon.

Command and Conquer! New Song!

Hey there, everybody! I hope you’re all well, happy Tuesday!

I have released a new song today titled ‘Command & Conquer’! It is based on the video game that I used to play back in the day.

So yes I’m pretty happy with it, I hope you all like it. Today I’m just pottering about my apartment and relaxing after an extremely busy day yesterday. I had lots of zoom meetings and I was finishing my new song. I was doing so much work yesterday, it was so full on and I had a headache later that day and my computer was having some problems. I think I pushed myself and the computer a bit too hard yesterday haha, also it was a Monday too so maybe my computer didn’t want to do any work haha.

Anyway it’s early Tuesday morning right now and I’m going to knock off work soon for the day. All my work is done. I’ll leave you with my new song / video (see attached YouTube video). The full 3 track single can be found on my Bandcamp too here: https://ashleyhm.bandcamp.com/album/command-and-conquer and I will be putting it up on all digital stores at some stage too. My new song / video can be found here or see attached. https://youtu.be/yvTaCCdRfiI

Have a great week everybody and all the best, ta, Alisha.

Music and Me!

Hey there, everybody!

Happy Wednesday! I haven’t mentioned much about music this year so I thought I’d write this update for you all.

I have been developing new music ideas and stuff to hopefully develop a new full-length song at some stage. I am still learning my new music DAW programme that I got late last year. 
With that said, I got a new inspiration today with finding an Advanced Wavetable Synthesizer called ‘Serum’. I want to work with more complex synth stuff and I found that one really good, it has a demo version that you can get to try it out, I’m pretty happy with it I must say.

At the beginning of this year I had a couple of sayings that I say to myself and one of them was ..’if I don’t make any new music for a while it is ok’, I can be ok with that. I know not everything can be bigger and better all the time, but those odd moments where I have something special that I have made such as some of my music and other stuff, I put them in a folder on my compy, that contains my most favourite works.

With getting older and stuff, I get confused a bit, and find it hard to do some stuff sometimes. I have a mental disability so that’s why.

With other things, I’m putting my health first before my creative work and spend less time on social media and the computer overall. I’m looking for a happy medium. So I am trying to look at giving myself time to get out and about when I can and enjoy other stuff, whatever that maybe.

In conclusion, thanks to everybody that is a part of my world in some way. Thanks to all my wonderful fans, friends, and family, and my team, you’re all wonderful special people to me, thank-you! Have a great week everybody and I’ll leave you with this screengrab of the behind the scenes workings of a demo song that I’m working on. I dropped my guitars down 2 whole steps from Drop C, to what I think is Drop A tuning, it’s a bit different for me but they sound really good hehe.
Have a great tail end of your week, and all the best, ta, Alisha.

Happy Sunday! Chicken Dinosaurs!

Hey there, everybody!

I am having a relaxing Sunday, well now I am. Today I have been very busy tidying my apartment, I had paperwork everywhere this morning from last night haha where I got all my stuff out from under my bed. So yes I am in the process of tidying my apartment, something I have needed to do as I am well and truly at capacity for the space that I have. So yes I’ll have my worker tomorrow too, to help me finish it off and get rid of lots of old stuff that I have. I was thinking about selling some of this stuff but it’s pretty old and I couldn’t be bothered, It’s all going out to the garbage tomorrow.

So yes, I have been busy hehe. I cooked some chicken dinosaurs that I love to cook, that are very delicious and that I had for dinner tonight (see photo attached). With other things, I thought I had a problem with my camera yesterday but I found I had accidently switched the camera body to Manual focus rather than Auto focus which if you’re into camera’s is a major thing you want to have working. The camera has so many buttons and switchy things haha!

Have a great next week everybody and I’m sure I’ll catch you all again sometime soon, ta, Alisha!

Happy Saturday!! Meet Max!!

Hey there, everybody!

I hope you have been well and keeping cool, it’s pretty warm today and tomorrow Sunday is supposed to be especially hot.

Happy Saturday today everybody! I have been digging into the last days of my 3D programme, and I have just finished a new project. This is the last 3D model/render that I will do for awhile, I hope you like it, meet Max the dog hehe. He is a good boy and spends most of his time at home.

I was inspired to do this as I have been watching ‘The Secret Life of Pets’ on Netflix, where I got the idea from. So yes you can view my final render (attached), it looks better big, so make sure you can view the render on a large screen for the full experience, such as a computer monitor or even a T.V. I hope you like it! 🙂

I am having a break now and I am just relaxing, I’m knocking off work now for the rest of my weekend, all my work is done, it’s now right on 5:49 PM for my Saturday, have a great last bit of your weekend everybody and I’m sure I’ll catch you all next week sometime. I’m going to have a little party tonight and have some time away from the compy, have dinner and listen to music, all the best everybody, ta, Alisha.

Sunday, 38 degree day, out and about!

Hey there, everybody!

I hope you’re all well.

I went out yesterday evening, Sunday on what was a 38 degree day. I went with my worker Roary to Altona Beach. It was so packed there, everybody and their dog was there haha. Roary took a sunset photo of me and I also took some photos of the industrial power facilities around that area too. Thanks to Roary for a wonderful time yesterday, I had a great time! It was so much fun! Today it’s misty and raining haha that’s Melbourne weather for you haha!

I have been so busy already this week. I had my latest song played on my friend’s YouTube show this morning. I have been soooo busy, I am also catching up with my workers today too, Dan and Phoenix!

I’ll leave you with a couple of photos from yesterday, (see attached 2 photos). Have a great week everybody and I’m sure I’ll catch you all again sometime soon. Ta, Alisha.
