I was off work, which was great. Even better, we saw Alter Bridge on Wednesday.
The setlist was awesome and they played great, as usual. When the first notes of Silent Divide hit in the beginning, every single hair in my arms was standing straight. On the downside, now I’ve had an ear worm since the concert.
🎶 There’s no doubt we’ll phase out the one who lies 🎶
There’s nothing better than when a band that has been around most of your life drops either a banger, or a song that is dear to you.
I remember watching the Manic Street Preachers play The Everlasting live, and even though I’m not the biggest fan of the song, I felt like a youngster all over again for the first time in as long as I can remember.
Little things. Glad you enjoyed it.
Pretty terrible, to be honest. The upstairs neighbour’s toilet broke and all the water came through my living room roof.
Oh damn. I hope there’s not too much damage! Has someone been out to sort it?
Stressful as fuck. Messed up slightly at work but over catastrophised it in my head which just made it all worse.
Dropping a bollock is half the fun of work.
I suppose what makes it tolerable enough is whether you’ve got a line manager to turn to and say “here boss, I’ve made a fuckup here, I’m away to unfuck it now” without it turning into a mega drama.
My week was OK. I’m looking forward to the F1 starting again soon :)
We watched E.T on Saturday night for the first time since watching it as a kid and we had some observations:
- The mum was happy to let her kids and friends smoke, but was annoyed that they were ordering pizza
- The mum was going to go to the school to pick up Elliot, but leave her 4 or 5 year old daugher at home, alone?! She could have brought her with her
- The mum tells the kids to be back by sundown, but none of them come back. There’s a scene where she looks down because she looks like she’s home alone, but not stressing out like fuck that her kids aren’t home.
- I always assumed the grown ups in the suits who go to their house are the “baddies”, but really they’re only trying to help.
I’m not in the UK, but the last few days have been miserable, I’ve been sick at my stomach and had to keep a trash can next to the bed…
I hope you’re feeling better!
Oh thank you. Yes, thankfully I’m feeling much better today 👍
I’m thinking it’s the sliced turkey sandwich I ate on Friday, apparently that turkey didn’t agree with me, we might have to toss out what’s left of the turkey. That’s a shame too, as the turkey is rather juicy and tasty.
That’s the trouble with turkey, if it doesn’t taste like sweaty cardboard then there’s usually something wrong with it…
Nah, not this stuff, this is Oscar Meyer shaved turkey breast, and I dunno exactly how they marinade and cook it at the factory, but the result is rather juicy and tastes similar to smoked honey ham.
We’ve had the stuff numerous times over the past couple years, never had a problem with it. But this time, honestly I can’t remember when my roommate opened the package, but it says on the package to consume within 7 days of opening…
It tasted and smelled perfectly fine, but it might be just starting to turn. Probably better safe than sorry though and go ahead and toss it…
Had yet another frantic week, but, spent a good weeknd 1:1 with my Mum going through some old photos of us when we were kids, her when she was younger and just re-relating how her life was compared to my daughter’s life now…
Previous generation getting married in their 20’s and thinking about having kids… latest generation only starting their career in their 20’s and (hopefully) no thought of kids… such a difference.
