pfff
Need to get some work done on me car... dammit! I've gone and lost the list of what needs doing, so I can't really go get some other quotes for how much it'll all cost. So I'm pretty much going to have to get it all done by the garage I got my minor service done in last Friday, ie the same people who told me that my wishbone bushes are split, shock absorber is leaking, 3 of the tyres are near bald, the cambelt probably needs changing, etc etc. Ah well, it's all the kind of stuff I'm going to have to get done at some point over the next few years, so I might as well just pay for it to be sorted.
Went to see James on Friday, Seth was there as well which was cool. We went to see James's mate Owen and his band called Genius play a gig at Clapham Grand. The gig was pretty good, there was a nice mix of quiet and more lively songs, which always helps to keep people's attention. It's kind of odd seeing people you know play gigs and being potentially on the verge of getting record deals, etc. Also, I found myself holding back any criticisms I had of the music when talking to Owen afterwards, instead putting across encouraging words, it felt like encouraging someone to pursue the thing they really enjoy would be better than simply pointing out the bad bits. Is that fair enough? Not sure really, seems a little false, but well meaning none the less.
So now I'm back in for Sunday shift, really weird but as I've said in previous posts, I need the money, so that's the way life's gotta be for the time being. Going to XFM on the way home, to collect some freebies k won yesterday by calling in to Adam and Joe in the afternoon, voting on ditties in the dock. We've got some tickets to see a band called the Concretes during the week, which should be pretty cool. Freebies are the best. The best what? The best of everything. Not sure where to park to get to leicester square without spending all evening in traffic, probably up by goodge street and get the bus down charing cross road.
That's enough for now,
