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.

"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.

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 Tags: books, family, friends
