Sheathe All Your Weapons and Head For The South - Theres gold in those hills.

Pretty awesome week, quite intense - yet relaxed at the same time. Not very productive, but its all good!!Monday - Woke up, went straight to the shops for the new Forward Russia album..YES. Went into work for 1ish… really quiet day, Just me Marina and Wilson on.. Good craic. Went home, and blasted the forward Russia album - its awesome. A bit interesting on first listen, but its definitely a grower! nice sleep.Tuesday - Picked Joanna up and we headed Glasgow bound - some heavy traffic made it a slow journey, but we made it. For the first time, I didn’t get lost on the way to Glasgow. Parked at Karas, and got a taxi into town. Best taxi journey ever, it was actually like being at a Comedy show(not a very good one), he just kept rattling off joke after joke. couldn’t understand have of what he was saying tho. Went to a wether spoons(its not letting me write it as one word, keeps changing it to waterspouts haha) for some nachos. Some old woman was singing hun songs, and then started pulling this young black guy..quite an odd couple. We then of course went to Firewater. Finally found our way to King Tuts..which is really cool, its like a pub, with a venue upstairs. A lot smaller than I expected, but really cool. Forward Russia were awesome as usual, new stuff is sounding intense. Something gives me the feeling The drummer Katie is getting bored of the whole thing. Always looks really pissed off. Good gig tho.We then headed to Kushion to meet iona… I don’t know if she recognised me haha, she was pretty spaced. Just drank for a wee while, then a had a small dance before the fire alarm went off. Got a kebab and headed to Karas. Trouble being she wasn’t there. Had to phone her to get her to open the door haha. The kebab wasn’t very good, and every time I had a bite I got the hiccups. Joanna tried to help by making me drink upside down, but wasn’t happening. I had to keep jumping out the window to throw up haha. Crazy stuff.Wednesday - Had a conversation with kara, then headed home. A crash on the m8, meant there were tailbacks to Livingston, it took 2 and a half hours to get home. Joke. Got well acquainted with the Forward Russia cd. Went home for a sleep, and headed to the church for the gospel practise. Only 3 folk in the band this week! Licensing issues or something means we are unsure whether the show will go ahead!hmm. The guys were having gay night, I went to bed. Thursday - Played Mario Kart quite a lot, then went to see Kat playing at Canons Gait. Good as usual. Had a conversation with some girls about how im such a band whore, which was pretty funny haha..first thing she asked was ’are you a band whore’. Random. Stayed for a few drinks then went for a kebab. Friday - Played some more Mario kart, then went to pizza express for Carries (Fake) 21st. Pollo De Astra is an awesome pizza. Karin gave me a slice of Margharita which was pretty good in itself. Got a slice of Banofee pie, which for £4 I was quite unimpressed by the size of the slice. However it was immense. Had some wine aswell, everyone else made me go for the cheap stuff, which was ok. Not that cheap tho at £14 a bottle. Ended up heading to Why Not afterwards… damn it. Was good(not really), got some drunken dancing on the go with Corrine and LT. Was speakin to some of Carries friend when Corrine runs up and falls on her ass right in front of us hahahahaha. I was good and left about 1ish. Gave corrine some riddles on the way home.Saturday - Worked all day - 8-6 I felt so rubbish, so rubbish. Baad. Had to send an old lady home because she couldn’t tell which way was which. Wound Vicky up, she was shouting at me haha. Went for a couple pints in emondo with Lucy afterwards. Embarrased corrine. Then home for a sleep.Sunday - Marvels practise at 1. Met dave and Fraser in granton square, they gave me a sandwich. Good practise. Came back to find Maisie is here YET AGAIN! Haha. Had some tea and pancakes. Kieran and Mikey came up for a warm can of cider, then we went to que in the guest list for cav..we were the last 3 in, and the bouncer had some good chat. The other que is shorter anyway. Maybe its not now. Got to the end of the que, and it turned out my sister hadn’t actually put us on the guest list.We thought, fuck queing in this - went to Home street bar, played some quiz machine but it kept crashing. So we played Kerplunk, and pissed off everyone else in the pub. I one, with only 1 marble. Headed to cav after a while. The que was shorter. Cav was good as usual. Happy birthday to carrie. Tori and Kristine were there too! Was fun. And Corrine. Other folk were there too. Oh I forgot, im meant to give Macky a race today haha. Some girl called me a gentleman at the end. Haha. Lucy missed her bus, so we came to the flat and played Mario kart till the next bus. Feel pretty goosed today. Got work in an hour, until 2 in the morning. This Thursday im apparently gonna be posing outside the EICC as Bob Dylan, for an EICC photoshoot - Kindof unsure as to how that will benefit the company, but oh well. Goin for a Jam with Arkane Kore on Tuesday, see how that goes. Doing a mental 6-7 night shift on Friday!!! Maybe frightened rabbit on Thursday night??CHEEERS
