or perhaps pisses people off, haha!

Anyway, I've had good reason to be awol, I've been poorly sick, and bedridden for nearly a week now. But it's a new year and I have plans to put into action.

Next weekend my brother, William, has given me permission to be absent from his birthday celebrations in order to attend: Viking Skull, Henry Rollins and The Almighty over the course of the weekend. I will be making it up to him by taking a trip to Cambridge and treating him to a slap up meal at a restaurant of his choosing though :)

Also Breed 77 have announced they will be playing the Barfly in Birmingham on my actual birthday. Fate, that's what I call it! If anyone fancies joining me, that's where I'll be, March 19 :)

I have Christmas and New Year photos for you all, which I think are enjoyable. Tomorrow. Hope all are ok, I'm just catching up on your journals now, but can't comment much as there's alot I've missed.

I have 6 gigs to update here with, and I've lost my paid account, and with it scrapbook. Therefore I will wait until I've borrowed someone's card and got it back so I can update with pics.

Let's just say they were all fabulous in their own ways.

Off to catch up with you guys, sorry I've been so abscent, November was crazy gig-month! Hope you guys are all good! *smooch*

Only been to 28 gigs this year....that can't be right!

"The quality of a bookstore depends not only on its contents, but on how its contents are organised; and the contents of a good, true bookstore are arranged in a coherent system that in ways unique to the particular purpose and interests of each such store honours the seeking of the human mind to learn, to understand, to be transported, to share experience and to be a participant in magic. In the same way that a great cathedral is an expression of the aspirations of the human soul, so does a great bookstore or library reflect the landscape of the human mind. A great bookstore is like a walk-around map of the human mind and memory, and browsing in a great bookstore is an experience of moving naturally and easily through the highways, arenas and alleys of the human imagination.

Or, to put it another way: in a great bookstore you should be able to lose yourself, forget all about time and discover wonders."

Everytime he writes I'm always impressed by his pure eloquence.

Surprisingly enough I've been to a few gigs lately and have a few more lined up ;)

Tomorrow I shall write up my reports on Common Rotation, David Berkeley and Ladysmith Black Mambazo.

All were fabulous in their own unique ways.

And the world cup is under way, and what a fabulous start. Today's South Africa-Samoa game definitely the highlight so far, brilliant rugby! Although Ireland were a little disappointing, they need to pick up their game if they want to progress to the next stage!

Really enjoying it all :D

Storm's been a bit perkier today too which is awesome!

I have recently become re-immersed in Stephen Kings world of the Macabre. I have always and forever loved his work since I first picked up his books, but reading The Dark Tower series has re-alighted a fire in my heart for him. I am now feverishly re-reading anything that has even the slightest cross reference to the DT series and am addicted, seriously addicted. Am currently getting through a new book in 2 or 3 days and loving every second of it.

Anyone who has read The Dark Tower series and enjoyed, should DEFINITELY read Hearts in Atlantis, it's wonderful.

Just finished The Long Walk (released as Richard Bachman and nothing whatsoever to do with DT) - that is such an amazing story. I don't think I've ever encountered a book that I've loved and hated all at the same time.

And now, 2 pages into Bag of Bones, and am already crying like a baby.

Books...I adore them soooooo much!!

Still not quite back into this posting lark, but I guess that's because I've been busy and not had much time on the internet lately.

So what's been going on with me? Well Wednesday evening was charliemachina's birthday and as you do, we headed to a pub or two. Twas a fun evening including bum rubbing, dancing with no tops on, and Charlie sitting in a pub with only his boxer shorts on. Just you're average night out these days ;)

Also have booked myself a weekend away next weekend to Bath. Beautiful am sure, never been and always wanted to go. Whilst there I shall be watching a band called Breed 77 who I absolutely adore. They are heavy rock with an infusion of Spanish flamenco type guitars. Yummy! Managed to find myself a pub to stay at for £25! Can't get much better than that now can you :)

Next trip after that will be avec Jules and going to see a little known star called...now what's his name again? Oh yeah...Prince! In London town, yeah baby! And then hopefully to the Cambridge Rock Festival to see Thunder again, but we shall see. A month of great music to come yet again!

So at last a reason for a real update...

At the weekend anonypooh came to visit. We had two playdates planned. On Saturday evening we were heading down to Liquid cafe bar in town and watching Beneva play two 45 minute sets. And on Sunday heading over to Stratford for a bit of a pubcrawl and to watch what was billed as a piano recital of Schubert.

more hereCollapse )

Next up - Thunder in Chepstow Castle, Wales on Saturday night....promises to be GLORIOUS!

Had last week off work, and spent the whole week drinking Guinness and reading. It was most excellent! Only slight variations were when I had a lovely visit from Jules and hubby and we went to Browns and stuffed ourselves silly. Went to a friends house for their birthday and on Friday went to look at Liz's presentation for her disertation (however you spell that). Yesterday she found out she got a first. VERY well deserved IMO!

The other thing I did, was bought an external 160 gb hard drive and have been spending an awful lot of time downloading music. I already have over 5000 tracks on it hahahaha!

Music freak = me!

Happy Father's Day (in ten minutes) to all you fathers out there, I hope it's a lovely day for you. Tomorrow my Daddy is doing a barbecue...typical :D

So tonight I've been helping two Rocky virgins think about their costumes for their trip to see The Rocky Horror Picture Show. And in so doing have been getting out alot of my skanty clothes of my youth.

I've realised that I am now thin enough to get into clothes I haven't been able to wear for fifteen years. But OMG I would never go out in those!

My wardrobe of that time seems to have consisted of nothing but mini skirts. What kind of a tart was I?!

Teehee! Still it's been good fun trying them all on!

So a little update as to my weekend. It's been a very quiet one actually apart from Sunday, mainly spent reading and drinking tea and listening to music.

Sunday however I headed to the cinema for the 10am showing of PotC with Kim and Paige. Much fun. Oh and JD was fabulous as always. Jules did you see Bill Nighy is at LFaCC? Might be worth keeping an eye on ;)

After which headed to my brother's house for a barbecue. Now all us Brits will know that Sunday was a vile day, really windy and pouring all day long. But hey stoic of hearts we were not deterred. 3 gazeboos were erected and many layers were put on and 5 of us, the foolhardy one would say, spent the whole day outside, whilst the rest decided indoors in the warmth and dry was much better.

Ahhhhh but we pyromaniacs decided on lighting a second fire too, to aid in the heat retention. So much fun, and smoke inhilation was to be had.

Um yeah, exciting eh. And now I've been awake since 3...what to do? Ah tea :D
