Forget that business about gigs with girlfriends, it's just as bad having a night out with them and mates. That instore gig was very poor, with F.L.B. being the first (and only half way decent) song they did. Very poor indeed. Saw a first rate local band in the evening though, and that was very good indeed, possibly made even better by the fact I was the drunkest person in the building. But hey...I instigated the jiving! I also believe that I instigated the Cravat Scene that is growing round where I'm currently dwelling. I spotted fur cravateers last night, none looking half as sharp as I. I was casually attired anyway, sweater and strides.
How I look forward to an Easter morning, Friends repeats on T4, no pressures or hassles. Only fourteen days to go, and counting.

Instore Giggage
@ Thursday, 16. Mar, 2006 – 13:53:53
Going to see a band play a gig instore in a small record shop this afternoon, which makes me wonder why more bands do not do this kind of thing. Why not play gigs in the afternoons or at dinner (lunch for you southeners) times? Why do bands only ever play on an evening? The only other occasions I can think of for this kind of thing is HMV gigs. I'm sure bands like the Beatles and such played matinee shows, why and when did this kind of concert end? And why don't more bands play in record shops, as surely it will benefit both the band and the shop, if the band stay in the shop and sign their single or whatever it is they are 'promoting.' Anyway, I've just listened to four of the band's songs on MySpace and two of them are alright, especially Fermez La Bouche, which I'll be hoping they play.
And why are gigs wth girlfriends and mates rubbish? I want to either go with the lady, or with my mates. Why is it always wierd when they mix? -
Double Standards
@ Tuesday, 14. Mar, 2006 – 20:42:27
How come it's fine and dandy for women to find 40-55 year old men attractive, but a fella is sick to find 40-55 year old women attractive? Double standards i suspect, it's the same with strippers; women see a stripper for a laugh but men are just perverts. The man in question is Pierce Brosnan, the woman/women are Bree Van Der Kamp (Desperate Housewives) and Sharon Stone.
Television on Tuesday evenings is mightily apalling. -

Does anyone see the point of people who open MySpace.com profiles pretending to be famous people? It's crazy considering how ovbious it is to tell they are not real, featuring photographs that anyone who can use Google.com could put on their profile. And these morons always seem to have millions of friends, and comments. I just can't get my head around it, but maybe I'm just a grump. Seriously though, can you seriously see Liam Gallagher having a MySpace.com profile and using it, with his real name and stuff? I reckon the guys who are seriously famous that do have MySpace will never use their real names or photographs, it's just dumb. I don't know if it's worse when average Joe's put names like John Lennon as their 'realname'.
I also think I am falling in love with Kate from the Long Blondes. -
Obstacle One
@ Tuesday, 14. Mar, 2006 – 14:05:11
It's rather trange just how many times I have started doing something such as this, enter one item, and then totally forget about it and never return to it again. It can't possibly just be me who does this kind of thing.
I'm currently listening to Kirsty Maccoll singing England 2 Columbia 0, brilliant tune isn't it? I've no idea why I think it's a little bit wierd when I feel like I relate to a woman's story, whether in a song, on the television or in a movie.
I'm currently in the final months of a three year University stint and it's only been the past couple of months I've realised that I've been wasting my time completely with it being a pathetic course that i predict will bear no relation with my future 'career' (what a scary word that is becoming). Not just my time is being wasted, but alos my own money, as I'm about 15 grand in debt. Very poor.
Another thing that sucks an egg is that I met the girl of my dreams at Uni, and in a few months she will be living at the opposite end of the country from me, and we both want to be living at home, partly because we can't afford to dwell anywhere else, and partly because we both love our home lives. Life would be just groovy if I could transport her and her family and friends somewhere in a 5 mile radius of my house.
Off to the movie house soon, followed by fried chicken, then a quick stop off at the 7/11 before coming back to my flat to study. The student life, huh?
