Well went to the temple of consumerism and middle age that is IKEA last night. It was fun, food was cheap (all you could eat pasta for £1) and got some things for my room. The Flarke computer desk, the NOT Floor uplighter/reading lamp and a bin which I can’t find on the website but it is just a small black bin.
There was also stuff for the house generally but we still need another clothes horse (or airer as they keep calling it here), 4 people and only one place to dry clothes is a bad thing, ugh I’ll just get one in Argos.
Sarah is over in 2 days can’t wait, we’re going to mostly chill, hang out and enjoy London. Just have to find out where to do those things :-).
I have a few trips and gigs in the planning stages:
15/02/06 Zero Cipher*
24/02/06 Johnny Truant
14/03/06 Biomechanical + Co-Exist
24/03/06 PSI + Murder One, This Is Menace and others
27/03/06 Bezerker + Madman Is Absolute*
02/04/06 Breed77 if I can get back from Eire in time
03/04/06 Public Enemy or Mendeed not sure which yet
06/04/06 Hundred Reasons
08/04/06 Sikth (Glasgow)*
20/05/06 Presidents of USA
21/05/06 Presidents of USA (Dublin)
06/06/06 Viking Skull*
17/06/06 Foo Fighters
*= no ticket yet
Which should be all fun, need to get the Zero Cipher (and hopefully Bezerker) tix at the weekend. The Sikth gig is in Glasgow because a) it’s sold out in London and b) trying to get my MSc class to meet up in Edinburgh for the weekend of the 7th of April. Most people seem to be happy with the idea so that will be mental. Just hope no one notices I disappear for a few hours on the Sat night for Sikth, may try and get them to go out in Glasgow that night so I’m not missing too long.
Also GreenDay are for Slane this year Al informs me that ticketbastard are saying but I can’t see any proof but when they go onsale I’ll get me some and come back for that weekend. Note the PUSA gigs too nothing for 11 years then 4 in the space of one? Saweet!
Link Of The Day:
EMEK posters how I may brighten up my flats dull walls.
Later Days,
Halo
DIT are in the middle of getting ticketbastard machines in the campuses, and it was one of the guys in there who let that gem fly, so it’s fairly certain, but not announced yet
Ah I see, cool will grab Sarah and I tix when they go onsale!
Oh yeah, and I *really* want to go shop in IKEA now…. it’s no fair that we’ve none over here!!!!
It is actually kinda cool you get what you need (and what you don’t) at reasonable prices I’d oufit a house easy style there. They even had those freestanding glass display units that shops use for figures and other such stuff for sale actually this is it. It would be great for my various oversized CD cases, movie/music figures and that Red Skull you can see Here. And just for â?¬34.90!!!
