Still not dead
Nov. 6th, 2005 02:14 pmTook the day off on Thursday. But I was feeling fine by the afternoon so I went into the local record store on the off-chance of them having the latest Swallow The Sun album. I get in there, and the first thing I see, at the front of the rack, is that very album. I like it when life is simple.
Went to the doctor on Friday evening, after my 'triumphant' return to work. He thinks my head pain is likely caused by a misfiring nerve, so he prescribed me antidepressants to reduce the nerve response somewhat. This is funny because I've resisted advice from various people to go on antidepressants in the past when I've been less than happy, and now I end up on them despite being cheerier now than I have been for years. Ace.
After the doctor visit, I had to quickly change and head out on this coach trip to Birmingham which was quite fun, although I was in no mood for the usual school trip style shenanighans in my tired state, leading me to sit near the front of the coach and try to rest a bit on the way there. Once there, much good music was played and many suspect moments were captured on video camera for eternity. Anywhere that plays Hammerfall, Sonata Arctica, and Bruce Dickinson gets a thumbs up in my book. My glow in the dark t-shirt also allowed me to stealthily venture into the goth/ebm room briefly without attracting undue attention, whereupon I realised that the DJs were playing a very safe set, given that I recognised half the tracks and I don't even go to those nights. The trip home was uneventful and I got back at a very reasonable 4am or so.
Of late I've been buying lots of cds, mainly at £5 each (which is very good for the UK). Current playlist:
Swallow The Sun - 'Ghosts of Loss'
Morgion - 'Cloaked By Ages, Crowned In Earth'
Mourning Beloveth - 'A Murderous Circus'
I also bought Tristania's 'World Of Glass' but it's a bit crap compared to the above three. And I acquired an Esoteric album that I may never listen to a second time.
This evening we supposedly have a band practice. This should be funny.
