Sleepyhead
I've slept through too many lectures this week. Not good. I don't know what happens - usually I'm playing bass (as quietly as I can) late at night and before I know it, it's gone 3am. Then I sleep right through my alarm. However, my flatmates have come up with a solution to this problem - Crazy Anne will scream at me when it's time to get up, not ceasing until I'm out of bed. Seems reasonable enough. Crazy Anne would actually do that too - she's so damn crazy.
Returning to the subject of bass, I think I've improved since I got here. During the summer I went through a slump, not practicing at all, not even learning any songs. I wasn't very confident in my playing when I moved in, but now I think I've got my groove back and I've advanced technically as well. So, er, go me! Heh. I've also jammed a bit with Sam (badass Northern Irish drummer) and a few other people up in his flat. Yesterday's was mental - time signatures all over the place, really locking into the groove, really getting into it. Sam was sweating like a paedo in a playground. Erm. But yeah, it was awesome fun!
Tonight we plan to buy a load of booze with the beer fund we've been saving, play a bit of ring of fire at the flat then go out and crash Danielle's fancy dress pub crawl. We were going to just do the crawl, but it's too much effort getting the costumes and all that, and we'll save money this way. Besides, a fantasy theme will never beat Ghostbusters. That said, I would have made a good pixie...
Hmm. I'm sure I was supposed to mention something else as well here. Oh well.
