from the bright side of the road to the dark end of the street
On the bright side, I seem to now have tickets to Ben Folds and the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, at the Sydney Opera House, thanks to my lovely girlfriend. I intend to go along, and when he plays "Philosophy" on the Concert Hall stage, roll my eyes and say "been there done that".
However, on the other side of the ledger, my uni laptop appears to be broken. The other day, it decided it didn't like starting up very much. It gets to the login screen, and doesn't get much further (though how much further varies - I've managed to back up all the important uni stuff). My laptop is now in the hands of the uni IT department.
More Mr Bright Side: our house got pest controlled today, and the spectre of those damn German cockroaches will slowly fade away and die soon.
On the dark end of the street, my girlfriend is still on the Gold Coast and hasn't said when exactly she's coming back (though I assume soonish) and I miss her.
On the bright side, at trivia last night we won, and I won a JB Hi-fi voucher for correctly guessing the answer based on the following: "Who am I? I was an American pioneer of rockabilly music, a mix of rhythm and blues and country music that evolved at Sun Records in Memphis in the early 1950s."
On the dark side of the force, I woke up this morning feeling very ill, and I wasn't in a state to go to uni (trust me on this one, you don't want to know the details). I took some pills, got a bit of rest when I wasn't in the bathroom feeling sorry for myself.
On the bright side, by about noon, I was feeling a whole lot better, and could go to band practice with Sliced Bread, who, I might add, aren't sounding too bad these days and wouldn't mind playing some gigs after the drummer, Casey, gets married in late July (he is understandably slightly busy before then).
