I'm ashamed at my recent lack of posting. I have a bit of catching up to do I guess.
The Boys Like Girls gig was brilliant. It was in the G2, which is like a side venue of the Garage I guess, really small, so there was only like 200ish people there. It was such a good show, despite Martin, the lead singer having some asthma and requiring his inhaler. I think the shortened the show as a result actually, but promised they'd be back again soon. I would definitely go see them again. They mixed it up a bit by performing "Dance Hall Drug" as fast as they could, and for the last song (5 Minutes to Midnight I think) they pulled loads of members of the crowd up to the stage. Which looked fun.
I was one of the tallest people at the gig....and definitely in the minority as far as genders go. Super. Went for a few drinkies afterwards, which involved apple-tinis. So that's one life goal achieved. I <3 you Dr Dorian.
Not too sure what's happening with the 10km run I signed up for. All the places for it have been filled before Miss Donald signed up. She is a knob.
I'm currently on a couple of weeks holiday from work, and I have an epic cold. It's horrible. On the plus side, it's snowing, so I'm hugely thankful I'm not working.
I'm sure I have other stuff to talk about, but I'm too sick/tired/lazy to think what they are. Peace out.

Right now I'm downloading "The Lovely Bones" to watch before I go to bed. It looks fairly decent, and is apparently sad or something. We shall see. I also just downloaded The Inbetweeners soundtrack, and can't wait to listen to it tomorrow on the train. It's 2 CDs worth, with some snippets from the show in between the tracks. Awesome!!!
Yeah, train tomorrow down to Glasgow. Apparently there are gonna be strikes on saturday.....so that's something to look forward to. Why did I decide to get the train again?! The last few times I've driven down, but I just don't feel like it this time. My car will probably appreciate it. I sense it doesn't like big cities. I'm really excited to see Boys Like Girls tomorrow. Their first album was superb. Second album was not as great, but yeah....AWESOME!!!
OH!! The big news, I won a Rage Against the Machine ticket for their celebration gig in London in June. I know one other person that's going I think, who lives near there, so hopefully I can catch up with him. The gig is allegedly kicking off at midday, and lasting right the way through to 11.30pm. That's crazy!! There's all sorts of speculation about who will be supporting them, my personal favourite rumour is Cypress Hill.......that'd be an added bonus!
No idea when I'll be blogging again.....sunday night should be a safe bet. Ciao for now!!

I've had very little to blog about lately. I've been exploring a couple of options in order to get the hell outta this village. I'm not going to talk about it in great lengths on this, I don't want everyone to know about it. All I will say is, that it's nothing I've not mentioned before. I'm just actually doing something about it now. A pretty large part of me wants to do the whole university thing again. I think I made a total mess of it first time round. I didn't really embrace it as such. There's people in my life I could blame for that, but that'd be stupid, because it's as much my fault as anyone else's. I think it would be good to do it again in many repsects, my only concern is how old I'd be when a re-graduated!!
On sunday, and yesterday, I went to the gym. Which is possibly the first time I have ever gone to a gym on consecutive days. Plus, I didn't really feel considerably worse for wear. So I'm pretty pleased. It's just a case of keeping this up, and constantly pushing myself.
Referring to my last blog; I think it was a mixture of niceness and stupidity. Which is not bad news I suppose.
I'm pretty psyched for seeing Boys Like Girls on friday night in Glasgow. I'll have to give them a good listen tomorrow, I've semi forgotten a lot of their material. I kind of have an urge to drink a bit more than I'm used to. Which is hugely unlike me I think. So I guess that's a warning to you Lianne, if you read this. Make sure I don't need you to walk me back to wherever I decide to book for the night. Really should do something about that actually. Tomorrow...
Also, I may have discovered the benefits of going to sleep before 2am, in that I can actually get up in the morning relatively easily. I may try this technique out again tonight. The crazy fool that I am....
Rage Against the Machine tickets go on sale tomorrow. If I remember I will apply via internet on my phone. If not, nevermind. I can't really see me going. Especially by myself. Gutted that so few people I know have a similar music taste to me. Another reason to get the hell out of here and meet new people. No offence :)
Goodnight.....and may the (mass times acceleration) be with you.
Also, pineapple.
That is all.

First of all, I fully intended to blog yesterday, but from 9pm, I was KO'd on my bed until 2am. At 2 I actually managed to get into my bed and slept until 9am. Definitely felt the better of it, but I never unintentionally slept for so long before. I was totally confused when I woke up at 2. I initially thought I'd slept in for work!!
I blame my tiredness on the gym! I went again yesterday. Woo! Go me!! Huge contrast to today. It was my day off work, so by rights a lazy day! I semi-tidied my room while watching Lord of the Rings.
Oh!! That reminds me. There's an event in Eden Court in february, where they are screening the full LOTR trilogy in one day, starting at 11am. That would be sooo cool!!! Pretty long, and I guess approaching the end, a bit tedious, but I'm really tempted. I know, I'm a total nerd.
Lots of pretty interesting football news lately. For starters, John Terry, the England captain, was sleeping with the mother of one of his team-mate's child, and at the time girlfriend. That's horrifying. Wayne Bridge broke up with the woman in question last month, but John Terry is no stranger to that sort of behaviour apparently. Seriously. Google it. It's disgusting.
In other news, some "Super rich" Man United fan is getting advice on launching a takeover bid for United. Music to my ears. United are quoted at being £617 million in debt. From where I'm sitting, the future of the club is pretty grim.
There's so many good gigs being announced at the moment. Boys Like Girls, Bowling for Soup and MC Lars have all recently announced headlining shows. It's at times like this when I wish I lived nearer Glasgow, or even better, Manchester.
I've added Bowling for Soup's "Two Seater" to the playlist. I only realised how much I like this song when I saw BFS last year, and was treated to an exclusive acoustic performance before the main show. I know they're a bit of a goofball band, but their lyrics and guitar work was really impressive. It's a shame they're labelled as a "one hit wonder" by so many people.

So it's been 10 days since my last blog. My bad. I knew it was an inevitability though. I've been hella busy at work. Hopefully things will be different this week....
Every so often I think of things to write about in this, but now I sit down to write, my mind goes predictably blank.
My parents celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary this weekend. A milestone that seems to be rarely reached in this day and age. I guess I'm thankful to them for achieving it. I think love is something that is under appreciated, and misunderstood by a huge number of people.
I like to think 2010 will be full of change for me. Pessimistically, I doubt it. But that doesn't stop me from dreaming. I dream about all sorts. Some of it I'm not inclined to share publicly!! One of my main dreams is about moving. I've thought about moving to all sorts of places; Edinburgh, Glasgow, Manchester, Sydney, Los Angeles. Unfortunately, I just don't have any real reason to move to any of them. That is, I would have no job. I could also say I wouldn't know anyone in some of these places.....but to be honest, that's pretty much the same situation as here.
Right, so I've added a new song. The music player does still exist after the new design, it just doesn't show up to well. It's in the right hand column now. The song is by Calamateur, and I genuinely love this song. Since reading what it's about, I'm not sure that loving it is such a good thing, but it is a great song. I probably won't explain this properly, but I'll try, Calamateur is the stage name of Andrew Howie, whom I have worked with for about 18 months or so now. He has his own blog here, and if you want to listen to more of his music, it can be found here. The vast majority of the music is free, and "Perfect Moment" can be found on his "Jesus is for Losers" album. I'm still holding out for a part on his next album.....the outlook is bleak.....
