Once a great place, now a prison...

On Thursday we went to see Sufjan Stevens.


And all I got was this lousy view...


Squashed head.


Nevermind, the gig was still great and I had a good time meeting Craig and his friends again. Before we went into the gig we were being grown up and talking about air travel, the environment and budget airlines. I threw in a point about rich vs poor (As soon as I said it I realised that it was a load of rubbish) and everyone stayed silent. I was hoping to be shot down with a counter arguement so I could recover but the topic changed and I just felt like a fool...haha, no real change there then.

On Saturday we went to Ste K's and I was pleasently suprised to see Mike. I'm sure it's been about a year since we last saw each other (probably not, but it feels like it) so we had a good chat and a bit of a catch up. Hopefully I will be able to meet up with him in Manchester in the next few weeks.

Sunday had me playing football, which I really look forward to now as I can tell I am getting that little bit fitter. This week I came home with more injuries than normal. I nearly got knocked out, I nearly got my fingers broke and I received a couple of scratches on my shins, nice.

In t'other news i've found a cool new website... VideoJug.com, it's basically an instruction site using videos, i'll probably use it for some help coooking (it's already give me some tips on tuna) but today I used it show me how to make a rabbit with a carrot out of balloons... seriously...


I made this!


Unfortunately I couldn't find any white balloons so a blue one had to do, it was very fun to make and the video made it it real easy too.

Anyway, enough of this madness, i'm off to bed.....

To be honest, I was still trying to work out whether or not to elaborate on my pledge not to fly again after Scott outed me. It's still an ideology in progress so I was quite miffed that he brought it up actually...

Anyway, for the next few minutes I was in a bit of a daze and I think it wasn't that what you said was nonsense, it's just that I only half heard it and I was not following properly I guess.

See you again on Thursday!

p.s. Did you cook anything with the thyme?

Aww, I want a balloon rabbit and carrot! Did you just happen to have some appropriately shaped balloons lying around or something? Heh. xx

re; Craig: Yes I did use the thyme with good results even though I wasn't very adventurous (I had nothing to roast it with).

I got a whole granary cob and cut it in half lengthways, put some butter, olive oil and then the thyme on it and just grilled it, it smelled good and was tasty dipped into my lentil soup.

re; Claire: I bought the modelling balloons from work ages ago for some reason, I did learn how to make a parrot sitting in a perch thingy, was cool.
