I hope my feet stay on the ground, with nothing around to hold me
A weekend of the highest quality, there.
Friday, I was productive, which is a rarity for me, especially on a day I'd rather spend in bed. I did some work on a website, went to register with the doctor, wrote up some reviews, and went to the gym. Nice to actually do something with my days off rather than staying in bed all day.
Friday night, and after a power nap it was down to Bunkers Hill for Magenta and pinksparklystar's birthday bash. And yea, verily, the music was good, the company excellent, the booze free flowing (well, the Red Bull, I was being good). A 'worthy mention' list would be a waste of time, but it was nice to see kimera_hydra again, especially as her favoured method of introduction seems to be grabbing my nipples. And it was fyta's birthday celebration as well, special boy has had two or three now. Magenta finished all too soon (which is better than it dragging on I suppose), and there were rumblings about going to Sunglasses At Night @ The Social, but it would have cost money, and probably wasn't that good, so I chose to bail instead.
Saturday was spent languishing in the arms of sleep, rousing in the evening to go and meet the Manchester RockSoc crew in the Speak Easy, including the lovely HARMSoc Emma, and a surprise visit from altarsofgrrness. On to City, then, where security decided to ID the whole of the Manc Crew while shallowthing, lost_in_music_ and myself secured the Rig (and more specifically, the bar). Spent time with soldatengrab making up new names for the band ('Burst', apparently), before running into purplesnow and heading upstairs. It then turned into the Night Of The Hot Ladies. Aforementioneds aside, we had archenemy888 up from Leicester (you ran away early, damn you), 'Hot Lucy', notgothdammit (goth) and nummie_devi (goth), who had squeeface ('best boobs') in tow. kimera_hydra ('best ass') was out again, we managed a conversation this time, next time we're getting drunk. Also met random blue-haired MySpace girl, who likes spacker dancing as much as I do. The music was largely forgettable, but I still managed a really good time, and actually stayed till the end which is almost unheard of these days.
Sunday was once again spent in bed, followed by a large Sunday lunch. The Speak Easy quiz being unreliable (and despite a last-minute text from pornstarbarbie), we instead elected to stay in and watch Blade II followed by
Blade: Trinity.
Monday, back to hell work, and couldn't be bothered going out in the evening. Instead had dj_false introduce me to the sheer delights of Mystery Science Theatre 3000. And I finished reading 'The Tomb', on to 'The Touch' next.
Should be a good week this week, Notts RockSoc gig tonight, pub tomorrow, Sick Of It All gig on Thursday and Assault on Friday.
I really am going to find an excuse to escape to London next month.
seahorse_kisses, be a dear and email me the photos from Assault :)
