Cakes and Music
So, it was Brighton Guy's birthday on Thursday and I popped down on Friday after work taking with me the cake I'd made for him:
It was obviously supposed to read Happy Birthday but after I wrote the "happy" I quite liked it as it was. It took two days to make and yes the colours are a little garish but you try finding pastille coloured food colouring! It was sponge cake (and very moist too) filled with chocolate fudge. I had to cut out all the lovehearts and things with a large kitchen knife. I don't like to make things easy for myself. I was chuffed with it though, and even more so for transporting it from London to Brighton with only minor damage to the green icing. See, this is why I need a car.
Neither of us wanted to cut into it and ruin it, so off we went to Whiteair Festival down on the beachfront. As previously mentioned, I'd managed to get press passes and so was allowed backstage to take pictures and interview the bands. I only really knew Biffy Clyro, Doves, Lemonheads and Cribs - but didn't get to interview any of them as they sped off after jumping off the back of the stage. I didn't even take a proper camera with me, just a fake one:
It wasn't a huge festival, but it was quite fun with all the extreme sports you could take part in - kite/wind surfing, orbing, abseiling, rock/wall climbing, lots of things involving boats, bmx etc. I liked the free Rowntree Randoms they kept handing out the best, though.
Saturday was spent at the festival in the hot hot sun gathering more Randoms and then leaving Brighton to get back to London in time for Rob & Jen's wedding, which was lovely. I got to see some lovely people I hadn't seen in a few months, so that was nice. There were some other people there I wanted to talk to but just didn't have time, sorry! I was a bit tired and sunstroked and kept jibbering to anyone that would listen. One person even said "em, I'm just going to stand over there now.." after I refused to shut up :) Oh well.
Now I have a stinking cold and singing a beat from Napoleon Dynamite that's been sampled in a song that plays on the radio every now and then, or that song was the song in Napoleon Dynamite but now speeded up, and I can't find who does it anywhere. It's not listed on the soundtrack. Brighton Guy told me who it was a few weeks ago, so I'm not making it up I don't think, but now he's forgotten the whole conversation existed. So, if you know what I'm talking about, please help me out before I go bonkers. I thought it was the theme song, but that's the White Stripes. There are no lyrics, just a beat.
