Thats What It Means to be Truthful

Seems like ages ago that this week happened.... i guess it was. Quite good fun, was in work quite a lot...but at least il have cash.Monday - Worked from 8-5, was a day of tactical hiding, quite fun actually. Tuesday - Was meant to be doing Client porter, but anderson took it for me. Giving me my only day off for like 2 weeks. Bliss.Wednesday - Worked 8 - 6 on registration - got to wear a suit. Had to print emails, answer the phone, send faxes etc. On the plus side, i spent the whole 3 days on the internet. (only so much to do online).Had my first jam with the Marvels that night, I had learnt a couple of their songs, and was expecting to have a jam through a couple songs and see how it all felt. 3 hours later... I had learnt about 7 or 8 of their songs, and was almost ready to gig - which will come next sunday. Feels pretty good, we shall see how things pan out after a couple of gigs - but its a very different sound than anything iv done before, and its cool.Thursday - 8-6 again, same story. Told wilson id joined a piano driven indie band. He says 'like Keane?'. I was like well yeah i guess. He then reads one of the headlines on nme.com "KEANE GETS NEW MEMBER". Couldnt have been better... Has Crusher joined Keane??!!FInish at 6, i have 2 options. I could go home, have some tea, get changed, and meet the guys later. OR i could go to emondo, and get pissed until its time for the chutes gig. I stupidly chose the latter. Got to the festival tavern about 9 feeling pretty hammered. Both Chutes and We see Lights were ace(as usual, i need to stop watching them so much!).Friday - came into work for 8 feeling pretty rough, however i had gotten home about 1, while the others had hit sick note, so they felt a lot worse than me! Swapped ties with charlie, for the power tie. Got home about 1, was needing to shower, eat, then pick up the 2some. I fel l asleep! Got up later, and drove to Karas to pick her and Ditch up. We debated over batman and james bond theme tunes before leaving. We pumped Kate nash and drove to glasgow. unfortunately, we missed the right exit, and so had to drive about glasgow for 30mins before we found where we were going. Had some chicken Kievs and lots of undercooked smilie faces for tea. Went to see Kate Nash. Black Kids were groovin. Kate Nash was good... but... all the songs were too fast, the drummer changed some parts - namely the nice snare groove in the middle of We Get On. And the band were a bit pants..apart from panda man. Speaking of the band, the Drummer was major, if major had a gay quiff. The bass player was me, but with girls clothes. No Caroline is a victim...Was gutted.Id taken the morning off work, in order to get hammered.. Noone was up for getting hammered...Stu was being gay, and Kara had to visit her aunt and uncle is 2 places i have never heard of. Gutted.Trying to sleep in the kitchen, about 3am, the door blasts open, and light blazes on. Someone staggers across and pours themselves a drink. Leaves(noisily) without switching the light off. Was well confused.(dazed). Saturday - Drove through to edin, went to McDonalds. Went to work, and spent the first 2 hours doing nothing. Then did a bit of work. Gave John a lift to Colinton. Sunday - in for 7am... Didnt really do much work..got another subway. Hosted till 4.Then got the bus to Mikey from the Marvels house to learn the rest of the tunes. The bus took 115 to get home. Gay. Had a chinese.Next week....got some stressful shifts at work, First gig with the Marvels at the Jamhouse on sunday. Tickets only £3! Worth coming along to. I have limited tickets for £2..how can you say no to that!.Chill.
