I feel I should do another post, I have numerous other things I should be doing. In my time at home, it's been alright. Reading quite a few books, particularly the second and third books in the Song of Ice and Fire series (I think I'll write and post a scripted version of a chapter from the third book, as an exercise), not going out and every once in a while going out.
Dylan Moran for example, saw him in the city doing some stand-up. All the conventions I thought would stand for comedy didn't. I should point out this was my first time at a stand-up gig. Don't get me wrong, it was alright, but... people we're laughing just to laugh, not because the jokes were funny (some were) but because there was a fear of being left out, as if you are intellectually inferior because everyone else got it. One source of annoyance was that guy to my right, he laughed after everyone else laughed at a joke, as if he is the punchdrunk version of a pothead, a delayed reaction because the cogs in his head are rusty and crap. I think I could do stand-up, I have some material that could be performed for ten-fifteen minutes.
Also saw Foo Fighter, Biffy Clyro and Jimmy Eat World at MILTON KEYNES, MILTON KEYNES. The 65,000 fans of the Foos entered the National Bowl, this was an unplanned thing for me, I was asked to go by my cousin the week before as his mate dropped out. It was interesting, as my cousin referred to it as a mini fest, I don't think I could handle an actual festival, due to hygenie, crap food and all that. The music was great, they opened with two of the guys from Supergrass doing songs from Elvis Costello, The Cure and The Doors, nice opening. Jimmy Eat World was awesome, I've been listening to them ever since, Biffy was more eh to me. As the Foo Fighters came on stage I was feeling crap, dehydrated and all that, I swear I could feel my kidneys hurting. The music was great, and most importantly the best jam between Seasick Steve, John Paul Jones and Grohl on drums.
As for writing, haven't written anything for a while, not for two months. Good thing? Bad thing? I'm jotting down ideas and being excited about old and new ideas, not quite figuring out what I want to write first. I need to pick one thing, devote my writing to it and then move onto the next thing. But mentally, I am unprepared, I need some other challenge as well. Hopefully back to running and more importantly getting a job.
Best spend some time getting a job, money is an important thing at the moment, since I am considering making short films, but we'll see what's what.
