Went to see it tonight, in IMAX 3D. I love IMAX. 3D, not so much - aside from the general headache the experience tends to give me, wearing the damn glasses over top of my own glasses is particularly heinous. It leaves me with sore eyelids from blinking against my lenses because the 3D glasses force mine too close to my face, and a sore nose from ( Read more... )

The UK observed Daylight Savings Time as of today, so the clock went from 1:59 to 3:00 am whilst we were on the train home after the Metallica concert. I'm not a big fan of getting home at 4:30 in the morning. If I'm going to be that late, I want to stay over, dammit! I promise to actually do a concert report this time - albeit probably not ( Read more... )

Dragging self to bed after a brilliant Metallica gig followed by a very non-brilliant train ride home with unexpected bus portion thereof. *headdesk* I'm probably not going to write an actual review because it's already blurred, but I did want to note the unusual inclusion of these covers: Too Late Too Late and Turn the Page. The latter of which ( Read more... )

The temp job I'm at was advertised a couple weeks ago as a permanent full-time position - I've known it would be since mid-August, and have been encouraged to apply ever since then. The interviews were today (ergo, I obviously could not go to the Canadian uni alumni thing in London after all). Last one was at 3:30 and by 4:30 I had been offered and ( Read more... )

I am heading to bed in a few minutes, I swear, but I had to say *something*. Oh. My. Fucking. God. About twenty people from the stage - far enough to see people only waist-up (save Lars on his dais, got a full view there *g*), close enough to see facial expressions, sweat, and flexing biceps. :D Halfin was there, too. Stone Cold Crazy. Of Wolf and ( Read more... )

I haven't looked to see what anyone's said yet (about anything, actually), but I just finished the first, proper run-through and I'm a little shaky. I get now what the long-time Green Day fans were talking about feeling when they first heard American Idiot, how it clicked on the level that the band's music used to for them and hadn't been recently ( Read more... )

That'd be guitar-shaped Shreddies cereal. (Which beats the hell out of the diamond-cut... still wtf on that one.)

Oh... context? Yeah. Go to Metallica.com cuz there's Footallica footage up now from the radio show last week. It takes maybe a minute for the first slashy comment. :D

From Mission: Metallica:
Death on the Radio: Our good friends Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins from the Foo Fighters are heading up to HQ this afternoon to hang out with us and a few of our friends and preview some tracks from “Death Magnetic.” Not only can you tune in to your local rock station to listen, but you can listen to a stream of the show on ( Read more... )

I was going to make a post listing things wot are made of win (duh) but as it's thundering rather insistently outside I think I shall cut it short and just point at the tags. :D Them things is made of win right now. I need to go to bed in a minute anyway but what prompted said list was that I was walking to work this morning, kinda bouncy despite ( Read more... )

Anyone else gotten a "404 Page Not Found" error on an LJ page lately? I had one that didn't load properly (too many tabs open... whoops) and this was the actual error message ( Read more... )
