I feel rough this morning, really exhausted and worn out - is very odd. Then again I didn’t go to bed till quite lateish after giving The World Ends with you a crack on the DS. It’s very confusing. My guess is my body doesn’t quite like the coffee overdose.

Plus today I feel like I have a zillion annoying jobs to do that I don’t want to do because they might be scary and annoying and awkward. And I’ll go grr from trying to do them. BUT! Must try stick with the lists, got tp carry on with this productivity and all.

Everyone seems to be buzzing from the London Radiohead gigs, ah reminds me of that wonderful post gig buzz, when you come out from such an awesome gig that you’re still high from it for the week after - that it gives you this new refreshed love for the band. I miss that :( I want gigs dammit. Heh I remember last year where I just went to so many gigs - oh those were the glory days.

Bands I would still like to see

• Portishead (I was so stupid to miss them last time they played :()
• PJ Harvey
• Tori Amos (again I missed my chance :()
• Ours! (I’m soo flying to new york one day just to do that)
• Mansun (hey they might reform)
• My Vitriol
• Kidneythieves (please reform)
• Explosions in the sky
• 65daysofstatic
• Bush (never going to happen oh well)

Right, must get these jobs done before the weekend.

“Nothing worth having in this world comes easy”

So, it’s like everyday I feel like I need a constant reminder of why I should keep on trying, the little reminder comes in many forms - sometimes it catches you unaware, and other times you can seeing it hitting you before it’s even locked on target.

So just an overall jist of the weekend…

(more…)

Okay, after some mild thought I’ve realised that I do really need to think about bands to see at the festivals I’m going to. I mean the line ups are like a big mix, it’s like 50% hurrah and 50% who the hell are they?/Crapp. Pity I can’t create my own hybrid of festivals by merging the bands I like into one heh.

Fortunately there are practically no repeats between line ups which is nice, as unless they were someone exceptionally awesome I wouldn’t fancy paying lots of money to see the same crappy bands over and over.

I should probably wait till the line ups are pretty much all announced before I start making decisions and I do a cheeky by downloading and printing off rough pdf times from the official sites.

So yeah a low down of upcoming festival goodness.

It was too good to be true.

:(

I think it hasn’t quite settled in yet.

I said a while ago that I wanted to go to Reading and though tickets have sold out I said I would be persistent enough to still get one. So yeah first point of call was hammering the refresh button on Scarlet mist until a pair of weekend tickets appeared for sale and I snapped them up.

Yeah…I think I’m going to Reading Festival for the first time ever.

I’m still in some weird mild shock, it’s like this can’t be kosher, it’s like that was wayyy too easy? There’s got to be a catch.

Do you think I’m being paranoid?

Anyyhoww, for now I’m just going to think to myself weee. And not think about the part where I have to work out how to pay for all this. Am selling the other ticket to Nick if all tis well.

Fecking hell, me doing three festivals in a year. I am most certainly mad.

But that’s the best part of me I guess.

Lollapalooza line up headlinners are.

RADIOHEAD
NINE INCH NAILS
RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE

ARGH ARGH ARGH!!

I WANT!

Why is it that all the festivals suddenly seem like such a good idea? I dunno, it would have to be the year I’m extremely poor as hell.

Fucking Reading/Leeds lineup, it’s actually remotely half decent. I just KNEW this would happen. Fucking fucks.

*sigh*
