Quiet Before The Storm...

[1216]

I find it so much easier to write blogs when I'm annoyed or in a bad mood. I'm in a pretty amazing mood right now, and I have been for pretty much the last couple of months.

That's nothing to complain about I suppose.

My crafty crafting is still going well. I'll have something to post about it soon.

SSS this Friday. I'm looking forward to hearing the new sound setup in The Pint.

Oh so crafty

[1542]

I've finally started doing something creative and crafty after a couple of months of thinking about what I was going to do. I may have missed my calling as an 8-bit sprite designer. I've got a couple of pieces complete and another 2 projects underway right now, but I'll post pictures when I've got a some more finished.

It feels nice not just going home to watch TV at night.

These Sealed Lands...

Today I finally finished Team Ico's Shadow Of The Colossus. This is far and away one of the best games ever made.


If I ever get a horse, I'm calling it Agro.

The Devil

He has eight legs, has a big black body and lives in my room. I am fucking terrified.

Last night I went to a gig in The Tap to help fund local monsters Crowd Control's upcoming tour. As usual, they were incredible. This band have only gotten tighter and more aggressive over the past 2 years and every new song is better than the last.

It's a shame that they haven't got more released material. Their split 7" with Mob Rules is fucking great, but it took so long to get done that it was kind of anticlimactic when I got it, because I'd had the songs for so long. They have a new split with the UKs The Hard Way in the works, however, and this has me excited.

I hope tour works out for them, even though Nottingham fell through.

Support was from Sort It Out, who were awesome, Etcha, who did nothing for me, and Loose Nut. It was Loose Nut's first show, and they were great. Jamie posted elsewhere about the raw nerve nature of the music and I can only agree. This is probably going to end up being one of my favourite local bands. I only hope it doesn't fall by the wayside when Crowd Control inevitably blow up.

Overall, this show was great, and it was good to see so many people make an effort to come out to it, despite the shitty weather.

As an aside, I went into the asian market beside the venue, and while browsing through the packs of steamed buns in the freezer, I found one whose ingredients included 'Jizz Powder'. I laughed so hard that I had to leave the shop.
