| Cold |
| Friday 13 April 2007 |
 No, not the weather: me. I have one. But it's okay, relax. It's just a common cold, not an exotic one. Nothing to write home about (and yet...).
Living in the flat may hurt me more than I originally anticipated. I've tripped twice on the mat at the bottom of our stairs, and almost impaled myself on whatever I was carrying at the time. Not to mention the state of my liver if we continue to cook and entertain as we have this week...(roasts, italian food, tapas...leftovers!).
Recently, I won (!!) a free ticket (singular) to see Juliette Lewis and the Licks play in Prague. That concert occurred last night. You know me, I'm marginally dazzled by the glitter of Hollywood, so I went along (alone) to see whether she could actually sing. Bear in mind that I'd describe the music as heavy rock, or perhaps punk rock, and you can imagine my wrinkled nose. However, her energy on stage (plenty of limbo moves, talking and singing to the crowd and hair flinging) and her lead guitarist (Todd Morse: photos 3, 18, 23, 54, on their site - not that I looked...) MORE than made up for the sound threatening to pierce my eardrums. And yes, being in Prague means being at a smaller stage: so much so that yours truly could ALMOST have reached out and bumped my hand down his abs. Or, you know, vomited on his converse - whatever it is you do to indicate talent-for-groupiness to a rock band.
But tonight, tonight I go big. There'll be approximately 14,000 people crammed into the T-Mobile arena tonight at this. And my attendance and enjoyment will not falter over mere mucus...Labels: What to do, what to do...? |

Man, you should see SOME of the stuff that comes on English versions of websites here. Jo almost took a job that was designing something that would translate it, but thankfully (for all our sanity) didn't.
It's immature, but hey. We're native english speakers, and we're damned lucky for it too!
Peace out bro'.
