So I&#8217;m pleased. I have some new music to listen to, the first Nada Surf album and then a Muse album to give em a chance. Then tonight I have a nice new <i>Ultimate Spider-Man<\/i> hardback to work through. Looking forward to it, been a while since my last Bendis dose.<\/p>\n<p>Just been checking out the Glastonbury lineup and it&#8217;s not as bad as I first thought. There are at least 10 bands I want to see, 3 of which I&#8217;m excited about so that&#8217;s good. Looking forward to it. This time next week I&#8217;ll be finishing work and ready to go \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>I found myself drifting off in thought a second ago. The damn air conditioning is still broken here and won&#8217;t be fixed until the weekend. So it&#8217;s pretty nasty around the building. It doesn&#8217;t help for concentration (still looking for that single line). It was pretty strange, there was a name in an email which just triggered some memory dominos and lead me to a thought I&#8217;d not been at in a while. Couple of seconds later I&#8217;m sure I must have sat straight up in my chair realising where my mind had wandered to and that was the end of that.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m sure that sounds filthy, but it really wasn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway my heads all over the place this week. I&#8217;ve got stuff on in and outside of work and lots of nagging little things from both. So it adds up and I&#8217;m tired and hot all the time. Another busy weekend coming up. Should be a great one, Chili Peppers on Saturday afternoon and the Fleadh on Sunday. Really looking forward to seeing Dylan. Hope for a couple of the classics and fairly sure he&#8217;ll deleiver. It should be a weekend of great music and hopefully some nice (but not too hot) weather.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m reading <i>Baracuda 945<\/i> by Patrick Robinson. It&#8217;s a techno thriller I guess like Tom Clancy but not as good. Some of the dialogue is really stuffy, in particular the first 2 chapters or so. But it&#8217;s fun and I can speed through it. Get about 100 pages done on the bus journey home which is good. I do like reading books like that every now and again. Popcorn entertainment between the really good stuff.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m trying to compose an email in another window. In fact I moved over here to blog to procrastinte a bit before I send it. It&#8217;s not a bad email and it&#8217;s probably not all that important but it&#8217;s the type which I worry about getting right. I really don&#8217;t want to come across too strong which I&#8217;m often told I do. While I&#8217;m quite sure it&#8217;s fine, I&#8217;ll leave it another while, re-read it and then send it off.<\/p>\n<p>Guess I better get back to it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My Amazon order just arrived (and I know one of my orders to the US just arrived too).
