thanks for reminding me skippy about the silk traders gig on friday, i forgot to write about it. i finished work at 8 on friday and trudged up to the swan to be greeted by al, skip and snarlie. after a well deserved pint we went to the magnet, had a chat to project 47's Shaun (the gig orgainser) and then got a beer and sat down for a while, trying to ignore the diabolical band that were on at the time.

after that band we headed to the fron to watch al's brothers band, the silk traders. they played a brilliant, technically excellent mixture of rock and roll, soul and blues. al's brother has an amazing voice, god knows where it comes from! he has a really powerful and versatile voice.

theyre only a fairly new band and theyre still finding their identity, but theyre very promising indeed. skippys doing their website for them and i reckon theyre gonna be really popular and theyre gonna get better and better as their confidence grows.

skip is gonna be doing their website for them, which obviously means its gonna be brilliant. i took a loads of photos on my digital camera during the gig which are gonna be used on there too as they have no other live photos :o)

went to lees last night, he made tea and we watched the dvd of Sylvia, which is about the poets Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes. it was a really good film, not completely accurate but i expected that to make it audience friendly. it enjoyed it a lot, i love sylvia plath work and i thought gwyneth paltrow did a very good portrayal of her. the guy who played ted hughes was very good too, even lee was happy with him :o)

soooo, monday already, oh joy. the weekend went too fast as always! feel like i'm half asleep this morning, dropped both my vontacts on the floor this morning and had to use new ones. i have plenty left thankfully. i'm sooooo sleepy, i definitley need my bed. this is my last week left in this department and i hope it goes quickly, its really tedious here. from next monday is 2 week paid doss off training :o) and then onto the new department which is gonna be cool and better hours too :o)

god this had turned into a monster of a post!!!

anyhoo, back to work for now.......


colorgenics results for today...

You are feeling really miserable at this time and you'd like to form a relationship with someone with whom you could really communicate. At the same time, whoever it may be, that special 'someone' must not conflict with your own belief system or ideals. This makes for tough going - but it would seem that the situation is only transitory. It will soon pass.

Being impulsive and irritable, your desires and needs are paramount. You do things with insufficient thought - with little regard to the consequences that may follow. As a consequence of this attitude, you may be experiencing stress and conflict.

It is amazing that you yourself believe that old 'adage' that you are a misunderstood person - and you feel that because of this you are being left out in the cold. It is because of this lack of believed understanding that you feel the need to conform to society in general - but this situation leaves you 'cold' knowing that you are not appreciated for your true self. Any relationship that you are developing at this time does not seem to involve any true emotional commitment, you seem to be just playing along.

You are pretending that the situation around you doesn't matter, but the effort of trying to conceal your emotions and anxieties is resulting in untold stress. The existing situation is disagreeable. You feel unwanted and lonely and you would really like to associate with someone whose ideals are as high as your own. You want to be above the standard of mediocrity and this need to be needed and that need to need has almost become an obsession. You are trying to magnify the need into a compelling urge. You would really like to tell the world how great you are but no, you are holding back because you feel that your peers may treat you with contempt. This is a great pity because you have in fact a unique quality of character, but the continual restraint that you impose on yourself makes you suppress this need for others and you pretend you don't really care. You treat those who criticise you with contempt. However, to be honest, beneath this assumption of indifference you really long for the approval and esteem of others.

You are greatly impressed by individuality and have interest in people who have outstanding qualities. You try to imitate those people that you admire and their characteristics, hoping that you will be able to display similar qualities in your own personality.


still spooky
