Who likes to "skate" down the inside hand railing of an old spiral staircase in satin slippers and a gown, one hand on the middle pole support and one hand out to feel the breeze like you do from a car window, and who is freaking out because her newly betrothed prince just gave her a hug and she had a woody from the adrenaline rush of said stair- ( Read more... )

I went to look up something on MB20's official site and the current news item is a list of radio stations to bother to play Paul's song. And in the blurb is 'GET MORE PAUL!' All in capitals with an exclamation point and everything. I cannot adequately express or explain just how much GLEE there is because of this. It mixes gorgeously with the Awww ( Read more... )

You know, it feels really good to re-immerse myself in a much-loved fandom, and spend the weekend listening to one of my favourite bands/artists. I think the only reason I ever really stepped away from Matchbox stuff was out of abject fear that it was over; for a long time, we were kind of in limbo there. I listened to Something to Be today for the ( Read more... )

In anticlimactic news, we went to the post depot to pick up my package today. Waited for about five minutes for the agent to finish with the person ahead of me, handed over the letter, signed my name and that was it. They didn't even ask to see my ID. ParcelForce's 2342395723057203 displays of complete idiocy did come with a price, though: the two ( Read more... )

7 a.m. - 7 p.m. is a very large potential delivery window. Not that I really expected the post to get here at the beginning (or at the end, please!), but they tried to deliver already on Tuesday and at this point, I just want my damn package. Person-specific deliveries are clearly going to be a problem living here: the buzzer is for the whole floor ( Read more... )

So. My first Matchbox Twenty concert, finally. Guess what? It rocked! ( Are you surprised? ;D )

I checked Amazon.ca today for the Stop Drop and Roll!!! CD, just to see if it was up yet and what the price is, and it is indeed there now, as my_own_beat_now also reported. I did have to share the Product Description blurb; it appears to have been cobbled together from various media reports about FHT by someone who knows of what they speak. :D

Kerplunk! ( Read more... )

Lazy Sunday with loud cars on the TV. I seem to be destined to spend April watching other people drive, lol. Actually, adjusting to being car-less in England is going to be possibly harder than any culture shock type stuff. Oh, well.

metlab alerted to this cover of Basket Case. It's an acoustic folk version. O_o I don't know *what* to think of it, to ( Read more... )

I feel slightly better today. Still hacking up a lung, but my head does not feel on the verge of exploding due to sinus pressure, so that's an improvement. :P I'm going to repeat the "dose, sleep" cycle shortly since tomorrow will be an early day. (There will not, however, be porn this time. Sorry ( Read more... )

WTF is this Maximum Matchbox 20 thing??? It says the original release date was 2000 but it's being re-released March 4th. The track listing looks like a band history in-joke ( Read more... )
