PHIL LIVES!!!
Ahem. *g* I have not been this excited to watch something on TV since the season three premiere for Roswell (I only started watching in season two, so I would have been excited for that premiere, had I known about it...). I shall need icons. I love Agent Coulson ( Read more... ) -
Streaming Green Day from Reading Festival tonight
In case you don't look at GDA/follow them anywhere, they posted that BBC3 will be streaming GD's performance from the Reading Festival tonight at 9 pm GMT. My understanding is that you do not have to be in the UK to be able to stream it from the website (obviously, I can't test that!). For those of us in the UK with TV licences, apparently this ( Read more... ) -
Vids popping up now
This video is of the first two songs at the Guildhall on Monday. There are others popping up now, and some from London on Tuesday (which was also excellent), but the person who filmed the linked vid appears to have been standing three or four people to my right and maybe a couple forward, because that is damn near my view of the stage. Heh ( Read more... ) -
Evening with Matchbox Twenty
Tonight was MB20 gig number one. Local venue. 1800 capacity. There were about ten people (and a railing/bit of space) between where I stood, and Paul Doucette's side of the stage ( Read more... ) -
This is not beach weather
Prett much everywhere north of London got a snow dump yesterday; from London southward, torrential rain. (Although there were very light flurries this morning here.) Poor Cumbria had some really freak weather, with high sudden winds and all that created 14-foot drifts in minutes. The article I read had some weather person commenting that it was ( Read more... ) -
Huh. How about that.
I seem to have survived my thirties. Technically it won't be my birthday until 08.10 Eastern but it's after midnight where I am so I'm counting it. :P I took tomorrow off. I intend to sleep in, to help make up for today having been such a giant clusterfuck. I am more bothered than I expected to be by turning 40. Not because of the particular age so ( Read more... ) -
A night for abandoned brollies (and modesty!)
When I left the house this morning, there was a weird sense of waiting calm in the air. It was overcast but pale, pearly grey and bright-ish ( Read more... ) -
New-to-me and useful word
Which I stumbled upon by doing that thing I rarely do, aka reading the comments. *snerk*
adumbrate
1. To foreshadow vaguely.
2. To give a vague outline.
3. To obscure or overshadow.
(Etymology: Latin adumbrātus "represented in outline", from adumbrāre "cast a shadow on", from umbra "shadow".)
New vocabulary pleases me. *g* -
Snow!
A good centimetre already and the flurries seem to have settled in, so I thnk we might end up with more than the predicted 2cm.
And whilst part of me was Very Amused at all the omg!incoming! warnings and disaster planning that was going on yesterday, for two centimetres of snow, I've lived through enough winter weather here to know that southern ( Read more... )
