It has been a quiet Saturday afternoon as it should have been. I’ve done nothing. I’ve surfed the net aimlessly to the music of U2 and now some Ryan Adams. I’m off to Dublin next weekend which I had forgotten was coming up so quickly. Given that the reason I’m going to see Radiohead play a couple of gigs I’m getting quite excited by this. It should be a good weekend and I am looking forward to a little time wandering around Dublin. So much so I was even dreaming about it last night. I have the Monday off aswell as I don’t get back until sometime in the afternoon so I’m looking forward to a long weekend aswell.
So last night was strange and well lets leave it at strange. One of the lads was leaving to work for himself and so we poped along for a few drinks. All was going well and a couple of pints were had and then I planned on leaving and getting an early night. My how plans change so easily. Looking back I should have just left and gone home but there was a couple of good reasons for staying. Ok that’s not really true but I’m trying to convince myself a little here. There were some ahem minor issues in work yesterday and several of the lads were working late to try and sort them out. The issues I am very glad to report were not mine, but they did impact on me quite a bit. So I wanted to wait till they got to the pub and get an update. The other reason is far more stupid and one which I’m sure a couple of you can take a guess at.
Anyway it was around closing time when I left the pub on a mission go to McDonalds. Looking back now I realise I did not in fact have breakfast, lunch or dinner yesterday and that perhaps explains much. I really have to stop doing that. Anyway after a successful mission I grabbed a bus home and collapsed into bed, but not before leaving stuff to download and stupidly blogging.
Woke up around 9:30 this morning, not feeling the best. Check the downloads and finding they had both failed, set them to resume. Fell back asleep for a while and got up then sometime after 12, feeling much better.
The Matrix Reloaded opens in the US on Friday, it opens around the world the following Friday. I’ve got tickets to see it with the team on Wednesday week. I’m avoiding spoilers for this like the plague. The trailer alone makes me just sit and smile with such glee that I can’t wait. I’m hoping to not see any spoilers anywhere, I reckon with being away for the weekend I have a good chance. So then just avoid many of the usual forums and bring on Wednesday.
The Ryan Adams I mentioned at the start is Gold and everytime I hear it, it makes me think. It’s a very angsty album and his voice really works in some places. In particular, When The Stars Go Blue.
I have just this second found out there is an Angel event on in Pages tonight. I’ve not been there in a long time, I’m very much out of that scene but had I known I would have given some thought to going along for the night. Ah well. I might do one con next year or later this year, just see how it all goes.
I’m going to have to have food soon. I just don’t know what. I can go out and get something probably in the American Diner on Kings Road which I like alot or I can have some chicken and garlic bread, both of which I have in the freezer. I’m thinking the latter option will win out right now. Then I can watch CSI: Miami just after 9 and still go and see a very late movie if I feel like it. Or alternativly just stay home and watch a movie. Hmm I think I like the idea of wandering somewhere, going to a late movie and walking home with some music going. Perhaps I just want some sweets and popcorn..I do have a craving right now for some popcorn. *shrug* I shall see how the rest of the night goes. Right now that idea sounds really fucking good.
I should be able to migrate my blog over to Dano according to the dev blog, but I keep getting told I don’t have a suitable blog. *sigh*, the search feature would be really nice. Ah well, soon enough from the plan they have outlined.
