50 Not Out

Apparently this is my 50th point, so well done me for getting this far I guess.

Anyway, my first post of 2012 as well (I almost wrote 2010, then 2011 there, oops). How have your NY resolutions gone? Better than mine I hope! Well, officially, mine won't start until the 16th when the new semester kicks off. I know, I know, that's more or less allowing me an extra two weeks of indulging, but it's when I start to adhere to my new timetable. Hopefully with a routine to get into I can actually get into a lot of good habits and allow them to pe part of my lifestyle, not least getting up at 8am every morning. That'll be the big step, once I can do that and shift my sleeping pattern  back I'll be cruising.

Sonisphere are starting to piss me off, as it's now January 6th and they haven't made an announcement on who's playing. I guess it's more the people baying for bands that is annoying me - if they had half a mind they'd understand that various contracts have to be signed and then they can be revealed etc etc etc, and that Soni probably want to announce but simply cannot do so right now. I'm going regardless, it's a fantastic festival and I wouldn't miss it for the world.

I have a new hair colour - I am a brunette, although only the females of our species seem to notice, or at least point it out which I consider rather odd. I don't care if I sound really femenine on this point, but I love my hair currently - right length, right style. It mae me feel good about myself, makes me feel handsome, which boosts my self-confidence. That's a good thing, right?

Iron Maiden's 'The Final Frontier' is blazing out of my laptop speakers right now. It's easy to see why it was voted the best album of 2010 in Metal Hammer - 76 minutes of pure gold. Almost halfway through it, on Track 5 out of 10 currently. I find something new about it with every listen - it's great, such a layered album. You can't give this thing one listen because you'll barely scratch its surface. It's once you've played it through three or four times that you finally understand why it's a brilliant record. If they headline Sonisphere I will explode  with glee.

Feeling rather tired for some reason. I'm off for a lie down, then off out this evening.
