…I have tickets for Muse and Fightstar already. And if AFI announce non-festival dates…they will automatically get added to the list.

Mmmm AFI. Incidentally, what I’ve heard of the new AFI stuff is WICKEDCOOL.

Kasabian were WICKED. But first…the support.

Dark Horses were lamecore. Sounded a bit like a cross between a substandard PJ Harvey and Kasabian themselves, which may be ok if I’m sitting at home listening to a CD or something.

Live on the other hand, the singer is aloof and distant – never engaging at all with the audience. Maybe they’re just too arty in a bad way.

The Hours were great. The singer is a bit awkward – but when it looks like he forgets he’s on stage singing in front of a few hundred people that all disappears. And at least he talked to us! The songs were cool and I’m definitely gonna listen to more of their stuff.

Kasabian, of course, ruled. I’ve bought exactly one mp3 of theirs and that’s it – so I didn’t think I’d really be familiar with much of their music….but it turns out that yeah, I’ve heard them on the radio a heck of a lot and bizarrely they’ve been around a lot longer than I thought.

Of course, I feel like I’m still in 2004 and can’t quite wrap my head around it being 2010 next year i.e. officially The Future.

The set was great and LSF is a FAB song to finish on – the crowd were singing it still all the way through the rain to the train station!

I swear I am still alive. Just busy.

The more seasons that Robin Hoodie has, the less likely it seems that it will be commissioned for another season.

At the same time though, the further along in the current season it gets, the better the episodes end up being.

Last week’s episode was AWESOME OMG.

Today’s episode? EVEN MORE AWESOME OMG.

Isabella, has basically turned into the old damaged Guy of Gisborne. Leather outfit and all. Guy has turned into… I dunno. A human rather than some morally misguided killing machine.

AND MUCH.

Oh Much.
Robin Kate doesn’t love you. Try tracking down that Eve woman. She was nice.

Of course, Robin himself, as always is an ass this episode. No spoiler there.

SO.

Yesterday, I was listening to xfm. Dave Berry tries to badger his producer into staying home to watch the football instead of going to see Maximo Park at Brixton Academy and so, on the spur of the moment, I text the show volunteering to take his ticket if he changes his mind.

10 minutes later, Dave Berry calls me and asks if I want to go see Maximo Park. Blatantly I do and thusly I am the recipient of two tickets for last night’s gig.

Which, incidentally, I had been trying to buy last minute tickets to the day before and failing dismally.

Maximo Park were AWESOME. More than awesome in fact. They were both AWESOME and WICKED. 😀

Robin Hoodie is actually good this season. Rather than soley cracktastic. Not that only being cracktastic is a bad thing, but it’s just nice to have interesting storylines, vaaaguely sensemaking plots and fabulousness. 😀

In other news, being dizzy and generally defective seems to be the order of the day. Hopefully it’ll get better quickly because it’s damn annoying.

Randomly, Babylon A.D. is kind of a rubbish film, but at least it’s better than the Dark Angel film I watched last week.

Vulcan pick-up lines + This = a solution to bad news

Now if only I could stop giggling long enough to breathe before I pass out.

So last Saturday I went to see Star Trek and it was so awesome, I’ll be popping along to the cinema in about 20 minutes to see it again. 😀

For my birthday, I zipped off to Walsingham in Norfolk for the day and it was cool. Did the usual turning up at the Slipper Chapel bit before whizzing down to the Anglican Shrine. Had lunch at a restaurant called The Norfolk Riddle and zomg it was delicious. VVVV delicious. I heartily recommend it to all.

Then we pootled along to Wells-next-the-sea and actually made it down to the beach this time. It was very very windy. Very windy. Wind, if you recall, is the official weather of hate. At least it wasn’t sunny though. Hot and sunny would have been worse.

To round it off we had dinner at some seafood place in St Albans. That was delicious too. 😀

Yesterday, before the whole Eurovision extravaganza, we went to see Waiting for Godot. It was crackin’. 😀 Patrick Stewart and Ian Mckellan are like… the greatest double act ever.

In a bizarre mix of hilarity and tragedy, it is my second life rez day today and I actually remembered for once.

Tomorrow I have the day off and will be gallivanting about Norfolk. Today, however, I am failing at buying comics. Bah.
