Free!

I am free from exams. 1 month and 5 days later.

Free love on the free love highway

Free love on the free love highway

The picture isn’t excactly what I am going to do with my freedom now, but it was the first image on the “free” google images search that wasn’t pornography….

I’m pretty sure my last blog entry was indeed the morning before my first exam, but nothing generally exciting has happened since then so nothing was missed anyway.

Dont judge a book by it’s cover ugly name.

With Reading Festival being only 71 days away and a lot of the line up now been released, I realised I have been very much out of the musical loop this year and I have deviated a lot to listening to music I used to listen to in my younger years. I then decided to start Spotifying some of the bands I had never heard of, especially those with weird names. I also decided to break my habit of refusing to listen to bands with names I think are just ridiculous. My first two for the listen were ‘The Airborne Toxic Event’ and ‘Dananananaykroyd’. The former because my inital reaction was “my God, could they sound any more emo and extra” and the latter because, well, you look at that name. Turns out The Airborne Toxic Event are not emo, and actually good. I listened through their album and found my self listening to it again. If you have spotify, give it a listen, or check out Gasoline, or Sometime around midnight.

Dananananaykroyd are a bit undescrible, although they use the term “fight pop” themselves which I can deal with as a genre. Despite their rediculous name I also found myself liking them, if not as much  as airborne toxic event, to the point of getting the album as well.

Think the next to invesitgate is going to have to be 3 oh! 3….

Currently listening to: The Airborne Toxic Event - The Airborne Toxic Event

Mud, bicycles, and a load of custard.

When I first started the blog a few months  ago I thought I would struggle for topics to write on, which has proven to not be the case, but now I feel so behind with it.

Must be nearly a week ago since I wanted to blog about my drunken Thursday night when God blessed some of the lads and myself with a shopping trolley at the bottom of Eliot Pathway. Result = feeling like a real young teenager again. A muddy one at that it appeared the following day.

Since then I have fallen victim to fucking bicycle crime again. My bike, fair enough, is one of the newest and nicer looking bikes in the bike shed under the causeway, and a couple of weeks ago someone just took the chain off it for the craic, then the other day I found the front wheel stolen. Why is it always me? :(

Seems to be the only option I have to reduce my change of being victimised again

However, I did get my reading ticket third year in a row, and the initial lineup is looking pretty awesome,  just looking forward to more and more to come. The countdown starts, 149 days.

Did custard doughnuts only just come into existence by the way? I bought a pack today thinking they were just normal jam, and when i took a massive bite and discovered custard I said “fuck, I’ve hit the mother-load” to myself in the staff room of the Co-Op. I just took a minute out from writing to eat another. They are amazing.
