I have an idea for another story line. Not the black comedy of the first novel but a whole new set of story arcs. I'm sitting here being inspired by a set of tunes I wrote about 10 years ago (non-CP stuff). I just have to fit everything in now. Do I complete the second book that follows on from the one that's being edited now or start another ( Read more... )

Up too early on a gig day - couldn't be helped, just awake. Lots going on. Tempted now that oryctolagus is back in work to possibly go and see Nigel Glocker playing in Saxon, supporting Motorhead at the Colston Hall in November. That would be awesome but there is a severe lack of cash and due to missing kit I have to replace a headset mike and in ear ( Read more... )

Try ONSLAUGHT Live at the Keller! Though I am tempted to get to JB's in Dudley as well but that's pushing it!! Go on, go support Jim and the boysFantastic to see them back. We were aware here at Pavonis Central, of the return, a very long time before most people as Jim used to Live next door for a while and we caught him with his bass one time ( Read more... )

Last nights rehearsal was fantastic. We played up a storm right there in the rehearsal studios. Used a new set of rehearsal rooms as I've taken to practicing without taking my kit. It was a very odd night last night as regards the sound of the kit ( Read more... )

Lordi's in chorus in the back of a car (think Wayne's World-Bohemian Rhapsody) laced with 5 pubs, wedding food and a chinese buffet. It has been a weekend of racking up miles, beer and food.

Leeds involved wedding food, the Royal Armories (WOW!!) and pubs with briccy and auriol. Met up with Mick and his girlfriend Steph in York who were oddly subdued away ( Read more... )

I'm at the other side of a weekend that has been filled with decorating, wedding plans, band work and picking up a little bit of new furniture. I now have a book case sitting above my writing desk at home filled with books, DVD's and other assorted paraphernalia.

The novel is still being initially read by oryctolagus and she's suggested one or two change ( Read more... )

It's going to be a busy weekend. Friday we take down all the Xmas decorations and start the tidy before oryctolagus starts dressmaking. Saturday we're off to Glastonbury to buy some decoration for the evening hall. I need to buy printer paper, get 4 drafts of the book printed off and buy red pens to go with them all before handing them out. I have a ( Read more... )
