It's kinda fun driving on ice. Admittedly, in a 4x4, and not my own vehicle. Otherwise I probably wouldn't go faster than 2mph. But seriously, there's a bit of a thrill to it. I've never had a really serious skid or slide, and I've always been able to counter any times I have felt the van start to go, but there will always be that part of me that thinks "You're Colin MacRae!!!". You know, apart from the fact he's dead. I just don't know the names of any other rally drivers. There is a serious thrill to it. Which is sort of a bad thing.

Yeah, so anyway, I actually finished work on time today, for the first time ever, on that round. Admittedly, there's like 50 people picking their mail up from the Post Office because they feel their drives are too dangerous for me to get up to, but it totally still counts. Oh, and I was meant to wash the van in that time. Which I did not.

I got a load of new tunes today, mostly John Mayer. Man, that dude makes some chilled out music!! There's a real Jack Johnson vibe to the guy.

I just saw a trailer for the new Alice in Wonderland movie. It looks pretty fantastic, surreal, and creepy. In the 5 seconds that Johnny Depp was in it, he looked brilliant. As to be expected. The soundtrack looks good too: Avril Lavigne, Owl City, Motion City Soundtrack, Mark Hoppus & Pete Wentz, All Time Low, Metro Station etc etc.

Also, the snow does seem to be, finally, melting. At last!! Hopefully I'll be able to go out running again soon!

I'll throw in an Owl City song today. I fell in love with this the moment I heard it. It's just sublime, and they are tipped to take the UK by storm in 2010.

I fell asleep listening to that John Mayer song last night. Yeah, I'm cool.

Another good thing that happened yesterday, was that I amended my lack of upcoming concerts. I ordered tickets for an acoustic Bowling for Soup performance at King Tut's. I've never been there before, but I've only heard good things, and that it's nice and small. Should be good. So long as it doesn't get upgraded.....

I remembered to take my camera to work, but it was pretty misty at all the usual good view points. I thought this was a really cool scene. The overhanging, dead looking trees look really foreboding, but in a breathtaking way.

I've been thinking a lot about future plans. I'm totally sick of my current situation in almost every way. I know that only I can fix this, but it is easier said than done.

I've had the new single from Dashboard Confessional stuck in my head for the past few days. They're a really awesome band, who I first heard on the soundtrack to Spiderman 2. Their new album is really impressive, and have released a deluxe edition of it, with a bonus CD featuring acoustic versions of all the album tracks. A real touch of quality I think. I had ticketes to go and see them in 2008, which they postponed, then after 8 months of waiting for a new date, cancelled. Sad times. Hopefully they will venture back to these shores sometime soon though!!

Not a good day, so really not in a good frame of mind for this blog. Got messed around again at work. Majorly sick of this shit.

On the up side, there's some gorgeous scenery up these hills, with all this snow. I might have better photos tomorrow, if I remember my digi camera.

Also feeling completely love sick. Even though I'm not in love.


The song today is one I just rediscovered about half an hour ago. Completely forgot about this. Might have to purchase a John Mayer album.


Keeping it short and not very sweet today.
