How am I?: 
tired
Tune of the day: Virculum - Apartment 15
Just watched Raw Deal for the first time in ages. It's a ridiculous Arnie film, filled with the expected rumours and hilariously poor acting. Provided ample entertainment as usual though. Before this, I watched the film that inspired a thousand suicides - Lake Placid. It was so bad that after a mere 6 minutes I was reaching for the razorblades. Fortunately, this temptation was kept at bay by the Dream Theater Live at Budokan DVD, which i watched for the first time since properly getting into Liquid Tension Experiment. Good choice too, the dvd is a seminal performance in recent prog rock.
Been so bored today, so located a couple of DJ Shawdow and Cut Chemist sessions, entitled Brain Freeze and Product Placement. Both are delicious so far, sort of remind me of the Mr Scruff presents Keep It Solid Steel record. Smooth beats and co are all on the scene. Need to acquire more stuff, current knowledge remains insufficient.
Drum practise getting respectable now. After teaching myself to read drum music to a reasonable standard, I can now play both Guildhall Grade 4 pieces pretty well. The first isn't hard at all, but the second is a little challenging - when broken down it's easy enough, but the crippler is putting it all together. I was using my brother's grade book, which only goes from 1 to 4 (he quit playing after a few months having only achieved like grade 2 or something)... but I want to acquire the 5-8 book, it should keep me busy for many months.
Entered the fantabulous world of myspace the other day with Zebedee. Seems decent enough, bit of a less formal Facebook I guess. You can add your favourite bands as your friends, so its cool when they add you back.
Been thinking about the house quite a lot recently, just how things are gonna work and what not. Should be smooth. Maybe we could get a little bin against the wall in the main room, with one of those small plastic basketball hoops and backboards just above it. Everytime you get something in the bin from afar, you get a point, and at the end of every week, whoever has the most snipings gets a beverage or something. Of course, proximity to said bin and the difficulty of object thrown will need to be taken into account, anf snipings could probably only be official if everyone was present. Meh, just thought it would be a classy little thing to have in the house.
Don't have much to say today, apart from the usual reiteration of my boredom. I must remember to bid on that silver plated 1845 bottle opener on ebay tomorrow as well, its still languishing at a mere £2 including postage, which is a deligulous baragin. I bet i forget as well. This beverage needs to be located and imbibed post haste:

I was thinking of applying for a job in the Graduate next term - i'll be there anyway, so might as well make some money out of it. I'd learn how to change the casks and stuff so that whenever i'm around, those disgusting days with no ales can be made a thing of the past. Learning to pour beverages properly would make it easier to get other short term jobs in the future too. If that fails then there's the Subway near our house and loads of other crappy small shops that could be sniped as well i guess. Should see nearer the time.
Ahhhhhhhhh, I can't be arsed to even stay awake.
