today is a franz ferdinand kind of day. afternoons with their second album are always picturesque. "eleanor put your boots on" and sunshine go together nicely. tonight, i'll break out the third album and do some annoying dancing. ugh, words cannot describe how excited i am to see them next saturday. i hope the crowd gives them all the energy they can muster. if not, i'll still execute my usual gig antics. usual being defined as flailing arms, lots of dancing, changing lyrics and inserting in band members' names, and pointing at the lead singer until he makes eye contact with me. alex's devilish eyebrow raise will be completely worth it.
the last setlist i can find was at denver on the 22nd, and it looks pretty promising. it goes as follows:
1) jacqueline
2) do you want to
3) no you girls (the bridge of the song will have me reduced to a fangirly blob.)
4) the dark of the matinee
5) walk away
6) bite hard
7) the fallen
8) take me out
9) turn it on
10) micheal
11) what she came for (cue me becoming an annoying, screaming twat)
12) 40'
13) outsiders (cue the annoying bit once again. it's my favourite ff song)
-encore-
14) ulysses
15) darts of pleasure (cue me passing out over the barrier)
16) lucid dreams
17) this fire (which is so epic live)
so, oh my god yes. i sincerely wish they'd play "auf achse". that's the only thing i want. that and "live alone".
i'll shut up about all my franz excitement. i have no other outlet to express these things. really, i don't.
one more thing. i'm obsessed with this song right now.

in other news, life is grand. the play went pretty well last night. believe it or not, i wasn't nervous. i said my lines and actually looked at the people in the crowd without fainting. hopefully i shall have the same luck again tonight. i'm going to owe all my success to the picture of brandon flowers i kept in my shirt. it was partially kinsey's idea. i swear.
i'm off now....off to be rather BORED, as my boyfriend's phone is having difficulties. blah. have a lovely day! ciao. :)
