Gonna go browse Etsy to inspire myself.
I wish the weather would pick up.
Going out with a camera would make me feel a hell of a lot better but each day is another dull, damp, shadowless day.
Might make an old camera strap into a belt today. It’s about the only project I have that doesn’t require a sewing machine (it’s in a box within a box in a room filled with boxes and no table to put it on currently) I have a spare strap as I gave someone a camera...

I gone done a Scottish music blog post :) →
For a friend’s blog. I waffle on about;
Twin Atlantic
Sucioperro
LightGuides
Carnivores
Admiral Fallow
Bear Bones
Blochestra
It’s not the greatest piece of writing in the world and a sentence seems to have dissapeared on the bit about Blochestra I think (or it’s because I wrote it at 2am). But it’s there. With some of my photos too.

punkrocksavedmylife replied to your post: 2000 Trees festival booked.
Definitely up for this this year. Worth it? And should I get early entry?
Yes. And yes! Such a fantastic festival. Everyone I know who went last year is going again this year.
2000 Trees festival booked.
Plus early Thurs entry.
Well, that was £152.99 I didn’t really have. And all the ones at last years prices went before I culd blink :( But I knew the new price ones would go quick so got them anyway.
The price is still good though. I should point out that that price is for 2 tickets, both with early entry.
Last year was amazing!! Highlights being Frank Turner, Xcerts, ASIWYFA, Twin...
Step 1.
I worked out which towns/cities I’ve seen Sooch in;
Manchester
Dunfermline
Glasgow
Lochgelly
Kirkcaldy
Cowdenbeath
Edinburgh
Luckily they always play Manchester so I never have to travel much :D
I want to add up how many times I've seen Sucio.
I’m sure they’re the band I’ve seen the most. I think Marrissa will have to help me add it up some time.
Decided to add this up as I realised that after next week I’ll have seen Twin 16 times over 4 different years in 8 cities!
Mental! Even though it’s nowhere near as much as most of my friends.
Looking at the "people you might know" bit on...
So many people I have 40+ mutual friends with and I haven’t the foggiest idea who they are!
Also, why is seemingly every Scottish man called Craig or Ross!?
That chocolate cake recipe. →
Seems I can’t reblog my own blog even when I’m on another of my blogs :/
Here is the link though :)
I've started a food blog.
Shall I put up the recipe for that chocolate cake (the one with the smarties and kitkats)?
This boredom is killing me today.
I can’t get to my sewing machine at the moment, so anything creative isn’t happening. Equally I can’t get to my desktop computer (room is still full with boxes) so no fiddling with photos.
Day in day out I just sit on the chair with my laptop.
The weather hasn’t been any good for the photography I’m wanting to do and I can’t find any bands wanting...

PABH played a gig in Leeds tonight. I’ve been sitting in bored and I could’ve been there.
I think it was an unannounced gig but I now realise what an earlier tweet of theirs meant.
Kicking myself now as I missed their last tour totally.

Got bored. Made this.

It’s easy to be a foodie on a tight budget if you know how.
I feel a new blog coming on.

Really?!
I’ve been flicking through a cookery magazine tonight (Delicious to be precise) and came across a small section on recipes designed for students. Things that were easy to cook and cheap too. The prices it gave seemed ridiculous though; Roast chicken and veg £2.40 pp Throw-it-all-in stew £1.31 pp Make-it-easy bolognese £1.21 pp.
As a student I don’t think I ever spent that much on a...
Powering through this blog writing like a sloth.

Where you not at the Vivarium launch? …… I could’ve sworn you were ..
Nope :’( It was just a few days after I moved up, so stuff was a bit hectic with starting college after being in the city for something crazy like 4 days
Finally added up the Twin gigs I've been to.
11 gigs, 3 instore performances and 1 festival. Another 1 next month and hopefully 1 in April and 1 in May :D Nowhere near as many as my friends but I was curious to add it all up. I don’t think I’ve left any out.

Feel bad I've still not pledged for the Sucio...
Hoping I get a job asap so that I can pledge for more than just the CD.
Definately won’t be able to do the listening party (If I don’t have a job I won’t be able to afford it and if I do have a job I’ll be working) but I’m hoping I can get the tee and maybe a poster too.
I need to stop comparing things with the size of...
Aww, but it’s fun!
I could actually cry right now.
I spent ages writing a blog yesterday on a few Scottish bands, for a friend’s website. I’m not great at writing so I’d spent a few hours getting about 40% completed and was quite happy.
My computer crashed last night so I wasn’t able to hit save but I wasn’t concerned as it always does that recovery thing when that happens. Just tried to do that now and all...
Finally feeling a bit more positive.
I went into Manchester this afternoon to go round the various job agencies in the seemingly neverending job hunt.
I spent what seemed forever searching fo the Kellys Agency. It turned out it had moved since I’d last been in some 3 years ago and there was nothing at the address mobile google was giving me so I had to give up.
Office Angels have some insanely pink offices (it’s like...

If you were drunk and couldn’t walk, would the person you last kissed, take care of you? Nope.
Who was the last person to call you a bitch? Probably my Sister.
Has anyone recently told you something you didn’t want to hear? No
Has anyone recently disappointed you?
Hmm… Not really. Maybe a little.
Anything good happening tomorrow?
Not particularly.
Do you regret doing something today?...
oldballoons replied to your post: What bands would you say are similar to Lightguides?
Make Sparks maybe. I’m not sure why, but I always relate those two in my head.
They’ve played a lot of gigs together and had a split single, so that might be why you associate the 2. I know I do. I’m leaving them off this bit though as I’m mentioning them in their own right in my blog and...

Kinda of a “If you like LightGuides you might like…” sort of thing.
It’s for something I’m trying to write and I’m stuck.
Found a job to apply for :D
Shame they are so few and far between.
Sales Support at a company that makes sliding aluminium doors. Sounds a bit more basic than what I’ve done previously but I’m not fussy, I just need a reasonable wage coming in.
Fingers crossed.

Need to go back to the hairdressers tomorrow.

I may be not be much of a catch but at least I don’t look like I’ve been Tangoed!
