So it's been a while...

I'm terrible. I really am. I promised you TMR pictures and I didn't deliver, and I've been to see them again since then. I am sorry, I am.

I have sorely neglected you, my dearest blog, and for what? Well, I have actually been writing and doing [most] of my work. More authorial adventures of mine can be found here, here, here, here, and here.

This week, I have been to not one but TWO concerts.

On Tuesday, a friend got us free tickets from The Fly to see Pulled Apart by Horses. Support was played by Wet Nuns (who were sweet and hilarious) and Eagles - the singer of which was incredibly and hilarious wasted. The show was pretty fun, although my eardrums were shredded. The venue was London Borderline off Charing Cross Road by Tottenham Court Road station, which was pretty decent if not a little too dark- I could barely see, but that's not exactly unusual. Pulled Apart by Horses were a lot of fun, although not my usual thing (I'm an Indie Folk Alt Funk girl at heart). I enjoyed it, even that bit of it when I got spat at...

On Wednesday, we saw Elvis Jackson. They were awesome. Seriously awesome. They're a Slovenian band who play energetic ska punk. They were supported by We Used to Make Things (who we saw back in October at the TMR gig), and who were on fine form, and by Dropbear.

So Dropbear. Awful name, right? But amazing band. They should be checked out by all. Finally, Elvis Jackson came on and it all exploded. They were all over the place, and the atmosphere was electric. The drummer was the happiest drummer I have ever had the good fortune to come across. He was just so smiley! They all were! A definite must see- book tickets now :D

They played at The Purple Turtle in Camden, just round from Mornington Crescent Station. Again, fairly dark- but very comfortable and with interesting décor.

So, that's about all for now. I'll be seeing the Composite Production of Master and Margarita at the Barbican on Monday, so maybe I'll have some things to say about that when it happens.

Until then,

Happy Reading and Happier Blogging

Lots of Love

Okay, I've been neglecting you again, haven't I?
And with really no cause either; lots has being going on, and I keep thinking 'I should blog this!' but I never do.

Sorry.

So I'll give you a speedy little update.

I saw The Miserable Rich again early last month, I believe it was the fourteenth. As always, they were wonderful. Because it was only a few days after one of my closest friend's birthdays, I tweeted the lead singer with a request that he dedicate a song to her, and he did :D So a lovely night on that count (with pictures that may follow)

We also saw another very awesome band at their gig, We Used To Make Things. They were amazing, very energetic and very entertaining. Plus, the bassist (was he the bassist? I never am sure) let me wear his hat.

The venue was The Old Queen's Head in Angel, where it is impossibly indie. There were V-necks and nerd glasses galore, and it was ridiculously packed for a Wednesday, but it was otherwise very nice. We were sat right next to the stage, which, while awkward, was actually very fun, especially when it came to watching TMR.

Also, I've started Uni.

Woo. Woo.

Okay, so really I'm enjoying it immensely. All of my lectures are really fun, and everyone is very friendly, but the work is hard and I have no actual friends :( even though I've been there a month already. Oh well.

And now I'll sign off because I'm still in my dressing gown, and I told Angeline to come round any time from four.

But! Before I go.

I've started reading two really awesome internet fics, Guts and Sass by M. E. Traylor and The City of Roses by Kip Manly, and I decided, 'why don't I do this?' 'This', being dedicate a site to a story.

I then realised because my dedication levels are generally sporadic and I skip from story to story, but I already have a blogspot intended for writing, which can be found here, and also made a wordpress for chronicling my NaNo adventures (a little prematurely, but something interesting will happen soon, I'm sure.)

So please, check them out :)

Anyway, that's all from me for now.

Happy Blogging
