Why does life have to be so hard. when we’re younger we want the days to be shorter, when we’re older we want them to be so so, so much longer so that we have time to actually do the things we want to do outside the hours spent doing the stuff we wish we didn’t have to do. Then when we get sick, to the point were we can barely talk, or what does come out is a mere croak rather than words, we have to spend time on the sofa watching Working Lunch, which I love.
…Though who really watches that stuff? If you’re into business you surely don’t get your info from a show aimed at housewives and stay-at-home dads, and you would be far too busy with “meetings” to waste time watching tv around lunch time. Its for the man who wants to think they know what they’re talking about. Everyone loves when they use pretty animated graphs and pie charts…
Woops, got side-tracked, so as I was saying, Working Lunch, and Loose Women, whilst sipping on my medicine with a nasty after-taste just after I begin to enjoy it, along with hot Lemsip and Lockets (”…a confectionery product manufactured by Mars Incorporated.” Confectionary? Interesting). I still have to try not to swallow too much. The more I swallow, the more pain I inflict upon myself.
And so as I struggle through day three, splitting my time between computer, bed and tv I find that it really isn’t much fun being sick at all. Who wouldda thunk it?
Tonight is the 50th Up in the Attic show. Fifty is a fairly large number. Certainly a significant number, and so the Bruised Fruit Gang are celebrating tonight with a new free compilation CD, as they do every ten shows, this time featuring Cutaways, Team Fresh, General Fiasco, Sines and others. The line-up tonight features the Bow Street Runners and Panama Kings supporting Ed Zealous, who had some new material when I saw them last month.
From humble beginnings in May 2005 UITA has built up a strong reputation for showcasing the best in local talent, and giving new bands that all important foot in the door of the local music industry. They’ve had almost 150 bands grace the stage in that time, and have helped the careers of rising stars like Kowalski, The Beat Poets and The Jane Bradfords.
I am a huge fan of Ed Zealous, Panama Kings weren’t so bad on their first gig last month, Bow Street Runners sound good from their myspace plus I really want that free cd. Alas, I just don’t feel well enough to make it out to where it is still very cold and miserable…
I will continue to rest until I can be perfectly sure I am not going to spread my disease (read: cold) to anyone. By rest read: eat biscuits and watch crap tv movies. Not forgetting of course I still have lots of photos to play with, and through sickness and health it must be done for there are big things to come in the months ahead…
