What have I been up to...
Last Wednesday I met up with Chris in the SpeakEasy after work and chatted about band stuff, and the fickleness of women. I also taunted him with my parcel, which was the new Daylight Dies album and t-shirt. (Although I have to confess not being 100% convinced by the album to be honest.)
Thursday saw the unfortunate postponement of Damage Inc, so a reasonably large bunch of us ended up at the Salutation swapping stories of drunkenness and toilet humour. Good times.
Friday morning, I was ill, and injured myself. We shall speak no further of this.
On Friday evening, Allan and myself went over to the wilds of Sneinton to play "Rock Band" (I won't link to the actual site as it doesn't work at all on Firefox 3 and is pretty damn antisocial to IE too) with Matt, Russ, and Gareth. That went on for hours and eventually ended up with Matt on drums, Allan on guitar, and myself on vocals. I must admit that my Shirley Manson voice is not too good, my version of 'Detroit Rock City' by Kiss was worse, and my Die Toten Hosen rendition sounded like one of the Nuremberg rallies. However, I did score 100% on Black Sabbath's 'Paranoid', which is about 30% better than Ozzy Osbourne would manage.
Saturday saw me taking a late lunch with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
der_katzchen and getting stared at by women. Strange. I have little recollection of what I did in the evening but I'm pretty sure it involved wasting time sat at my computer looking at websites. As usual.
Yesterday I spent much of the day editing an article on programming; joy. I also found myself playing Football Manager 2005, ostensibly to research gameplay for the web-based game I've been working on for the last 6 months (at the rate of about 2 hrs per week... *sigh*). I do tend to get addicted to management and strategy games though, so I was up until almost 3am, with work in the morning. Gah.
Today is the aforementioned work, followed by a walk home in an inevitable rain shower, and then 3 hours of band practice.
