two posts in two days.... wtf is going on?? I need a proper hobby
Finished work at lunchtime today - not for any special reason, just a normal Friday on late shift, finished by 11.30 - 12.30, my finish time depending on how bad the traffic was on the way in, hence what time I manage to actually start work. So here I am, sat on the sofa watching music telly.
Watched bullet boy rental dvd earlier, which was better than I thought it would be. Makes me glad that I've never really found myself in the position that the characters in the film were in, stuck in that negative rut of gangs n all that. Reminds me of the parents against violence dinner me and k went to a few months ago in leyton, and how people who live 'on the street' are so obsessed about other people's opinions and not wanting to be seen 'slipping' or something like that. Though, quite a lot of people get too concerned over the bitching of others, especially at work. I spose you've just got to accept that people are going to say negative stuff about you at some point, probably at least as much as you say negative stuff about them, whether it's behind their backs or to their face.
Well that's as profound as my ponderings are ever likely to get, especially when it's on less than 6 hours sleep. Not trying to be a martyr, just a rubbish excuse.

Stuff things stuff n things
Went to see feeder at Hammersmith Apollo last night, which was pretty good. The traffic over there was a little worse than I'd expected, so we missed Goldie Looking Chain's warm up set, which was a bit of a shame, but probably nothing worth worrying about too much! I think I'm gettting old as I enter my 25th year, as I'm starting to be more and more of a wimp at gigs when it comes to noise levels. Mostly it's because I get a bit snobbish about hi-fi equipment, if it's possible to get better quality sound at venues, would that ruin the atmosphere or not? Not sure really. More sound and less noise, that's what I say.
Just done a bit of fiddling with my finances - I've managed to let the credit cards stagnate at roughly the same levels of debt for a good few months now, so I've gone for another balance transfer offer. Should keep the monthlys down a bit for me, well at least that's the idea! Though I may have cocked it up a bit by transferring barclaycard and first direct onto mint, when the mint was far from empty. Never mind, it might be wise for me to move things around a bit in a few months anyway.
Well, time to cook some dinner now. Gonna do some curry, but don't have any rice or nan bread. Hmm, might have to risk a trip to tesco or asda. Hopefully it won't turn into the usual supermarket trip that takes a minimum of 1 hour and a minimum spend of £39. Why not £40? I don't know how but the weekly trip seems to come to that amount really often. Maybe Jamie Oliver was right on the Sainsbury's advert, and I keep buying the same stuff every week. Fuck it, I might even buy something new today. Just not from Sainsbury's.
