A Tempest Unveiled

Recent (un)events:

Thursday, I was out at the monthly metal night, which was quite well attended despite the students being out of town. I had a reasonably decent time, talked to quite a few people, and left slightly early before it had a chance to get less enjoyable. Twas good to see the return of people who'd disappeared off to other countries for a while: you know who you are.

Friday, I went with jen_whitewave to see Viking Phil's band, who weren't bad. Not much else to report really, except that it was unusual to see him without a bottle of beer in each hand.

Saturday:
- morning found me spending more time with jen_whitewave who is probably sick of me by now, as we headed up to partake of Sweden's finest non-musical export, Ikea. I didn't actually buy anything of significance as I was just there to 'test' the beds as it were and keep Jen company.
- evening saw me in an almost desolate White Hart pub with Jen again, later to be joined by Reena and fiendil before I relocated to Rock City. There I chatted with various people, was thanked on two separate occasions by Phil for attending his gig, and eventually met up with killerrrcocopop who kept me company until it was time to walk her home.

Today, I bought a kettle, constructed a wardrobe, and rearranged my bedroom. How domestic. Luckily this was punctuated by a brief spell on Time Crisis II, where I found out that I am better with a gun than I would have thought. I did end up shooting the wrong guy a little more than I'd liked, however. Perhaps there's a future career for me in the Metropolitan Police.

On a different note, I've found myself recently in the interesting position of having people ask me when we (myself and housemate Chris) are holding a party. I've had at least 4 people ask me about it, and some have asked him too, when we haven't even decided for certain yet. I'm not quite sure why people are so eager to come round and trash our house enjoy our hospitality, but I'm not complaining at the popularity.
