Arctic Circle and I Know I Have No Collar are playing this coming weekend, woo!
I was pretty tempted by this "Dont you want to form a band?" advert in Cafe Kino too... but am too chicken / crap yet.
And CSS are playing at the Thekla in October!
Over the past couple of weeks I've not had a chance to touch the drum kit... so thought I'd do another recording of just how much I still suck... I also need to do look like I'm enjoying it rather than concentrating...
There were fireworks, tons of bands and rides on the streets (left).
Then I went to The Thekla with Kenny and Ellie (top right), Alex and Andy (middle right) and Faith.
Then wandering back in the morning, there were loaaadsa boats! (below)
Me and my girly went roaming around the very lovely pity of Bath for the day. Yet again, I always look dumb, but Skye's gorgeousness makes it impossible for me to refrain from posting it.
We became an item on the 17th July, and she's utterly amazing. The future is looking wonderful, so I'm gonna try keeping track of the fun via this blog.
Oh, and to explain... it was my friend Andy's birthday... he's a Belle and Sebastian fan... so I made him a card. Skye couldn't make it along to his party, so we posed with the card to show him :). Rar, I shoulda smiled more!
Now the kit is set up, a demonstration of just how much somebody can suck at drumming...
Then (to the right) an attempt at mixing in an overlya track, The Arcade Fire - Rebellion (Lies).
Sooo... I came home from the pub quiz on Wednesday...
Thursday morning I go to work, check my email... "Your order has been dispatched"... WTF?!
Friday, a Traps E450 electronic drum kit this turns up at my work desk!
Wheyyy!
He's back again. We were both a little braver tonight, and got a closer photo. I've also found that if you try and shoo a frog, so as not to run over him, he just pins himself to the ground. (I drove around him, he's safe).
Went to Ikea (after Kino of course) to get some picture frames after the disaster 2 weeks ago (buying frames and not fitting in car).
This time I've got the frames that fit the car, and will figure out what I can put in them instead of an Amelie poster.
Also got some strawberry smelly candles. I like the instructional pictures... don't let dogs or children eat them!
And finally, the pictures up :). I'd have liked one to have been Amelie, but those two posters (from my friend Majid) are wayyy bigger than the frames. Two B&S posters may be a bit much for one room... I'll have to find another poster.
My first entry into the Irish lotto, and I won! A whopping 13 big ones! (£13).
And thanks to my new t-shirt, I'm seeing pac-man everywhere.
