Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

Yes, but the problem is I have way too many lists that just keep growing and growing, and I wonder if I'll ever get to complete them.

Like some of these from the top of my head:

  • Movies to watch
  • TV shows to watch
  • Documentaries to watch
  • Bands to check out
  • Foreign songs to learn (don't ask)
  • Food / recipes to try

... and so on.

The only one on your list I want to ask about now is the one you said not to ask about.....reverse psychology?

Haha, it's not a big secret or anything, it's just my "thing". I love karaoke, and I also have a bit of a fascination with foreign music - French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Mongolian etc. From pop and opera, to heavy metal throat singing. Whatever catches my fancy basically. And unlike "normal" people who may just listen to some J-pop or something, I actually like learning all the lyrics, practicing until I memorize everything, all so that I can sing along and perform confidently... in the shower.

Perhaps some day I might come across a karaoke place with a good foreign song collection, and that will be the day I finally get to show off, but until then, I will continue to keep learning and singing in the shower lol.

Nice, I like philosophy and complex topics..... I'll be happy to discuss anything with anyone. My go to when meeting new people is "what do you do for fun?"
