Note to self: do not growl along to Opeth in the car with the windows down whilst stationary at traffic lights. It can somewhat unnerve passengers in the car next to you. \m/

In other news, the new Mastodon album is splendid.

Shit son, I've not posted here for over a year. Haha.

Not much to report either. Job is still sadly baws, gained a sister-in-law, been to a load more gigs, learnt that acupuncture is truly for the win, and developed a deep adoration for Timothy Olyphant. Nom.

Not even sure if anyone will read this anyway, what with everyone being on FriendFace

I had a lot of fun at the Mesh / Covenant gig on Sunday. Lots of bleepy, bouncy dancing goodness. Shame on Covenant for not playing Dead Stars though, and on Mesh from not playing Trust You. However, they did each end on absolute blinders (Mesh with Crash, and Covenant with Call the Ships To Port) so almost all was forgiven. Jim and I spent much ( Read more... )

My dad had a very minor heart attack this afternoon, and carried on with his game of golf because it didn't dawn on him what was going on. :stunned ( Read more... )

What with the work situation (gash), the stress of dealing with employment agencies (liars) and the continuing neck/shoulder trouble (I've just had four days of intense pain), I am so looking forward to the festival. I had a right cob on at work today until I glanced out of the office kitchen window and realised I could see the tops of the Main ( Read more... )

Hmm. I just feel the need to write something ( Read more... )
