Will let this one speak for itself. If you’re not familiar with 30STM I would love to know what your reaction is so please, please, please leave a comment!
(Yeah, I begged!)
A mere 4 days before I get to see this band live! Woohoo!
From the album This Is War, released Dec 7th in the UK.
 

Live music and head blenders

You ever get that whizzy mixed up feeling where your head is spinning at the speed of sound? Yep, I’m still there! The work stuff is still alarming me. Am waiting on a phone call as I’m typing. Hence, why I’m blogging, to cause distraction and use of the words ‘head blender’ in the post title!


So, 6 days til 30 Seconds To Mars! WOOHOO! We made our T-shirts on Sunday and I have to say they look really, really good! They will be included in the epic post that I think will appear somewhere around the 17/18th depending on how tired I am.


We’re planning on leaving home at around 4am , so should get to London around 11ish, depending on traffic. Keeping my fingers crossed that 8 hours of queuing in a possible low of 8 degrees will afford us a decent space where us short people can have a decent view. Avoiding hypothermia would be a bonus!


I get to spend a lot of time with my girls, Karina and Tweaks, and on top of that meet a load of people who I kind of know but have never met in person. I’m so excited, I really cannot express it! If I tried than it would just be a whole post of emoticons.


I know I go on about this gig a lot but it really is a saving grace at the moment. It’s also my birthday this week and I’m being taken to a live show of Motown music! Again, cannot wait! You absolutely cannot beat live music and I’m so looking forward to getting on my feet, dancing, singing and clapping along. Bliss!


Btw, people in the UK, can you believe what happened on the X Factor on Sunday?! Mr Cowell did a very sneaky thing in going back to the public vote. Lucie was clearly the better vocalist and Simon should have had the balls to get rid of Jedward. I suppose from a business point of view it makes sense to keep Jedward in as long as poss for the ratings and the press for the show. Which incidentally is supposed to be a talent show, in case anybody had forgotten.


Was also shocked at Louis Walsh going off on lovely Dermot O’Leary on Saturday night. How very dare he?! But then, Louis is an arse with a self inflated sense of importance. I’m not even going to preface that with ‘in my opinion’.


So there.


I picked up the new Robbie Williams and JLS albums yesterday. Haven’t properly listened to them yet but will post my opinion when I have! So far Robbie is at No.1 in the midweek charts. Yay!


Also there are a few tasty True Blood rumours around at the mo. Too many to go into but apparently Eric is going to be naked quite a bit and that makes me happy!


New Moon is out soon as well. Definitely looking forward to that. Being a Team Jacob girl, it’s ALL about the Wolves!


My absolute favourite part of this week was a phone call from my brother. He and his girlfriend had a beautiful baby girl in July and he rang me to tell me that he proposed to his lovely lady and that they are hoping to get married next year! YAY!!


So even though all this crappy work stuff is going on, there’s still loads in life to look forward to!


Bring it on!


 

Random musings…

It’s been a hell of a week.

The company I work for has announced a lot of redundancies. I feel like I’m being pressured into making huge career decisions at a time when I’m supposed to be looking after myself, not worrying myself stupid about a job I don’t care for much.

But the job market is not good. Do I take a calculated risk and enter into voluntary redundancy or just simply take a risk and wait to see if the compulsory redundancies bite me in the ass? Or do I take a really huge risk and say the hell with you bunch of idiots, see ya later?

Obviously I’m too much of a coward for the latter option. There’s so many people out of work at the moment that to have a shitty job is better than no job at all.

It’s good job I have a counsellors appointment tomorrow! Head is spinning like an uncontrollable spinny thing!

So I’ll post a lovely pic of Shannon Leto to cheer myself up.

Only 11 days and I get to see this guy do his thing in the flesh.

I’m so ready!
