Next weekend marks two milestones and I can't wait for both :D On the 14th it'll be my birthday! Hurray! On the 15th it'll be my third year on this very site. My word, that's madness. My home away from home; TV.com kicks so much arse, that's all I'll say on that cos I will celebrate it on Sunday with loads of special mentions and such cos u folks rock! I miss my old account, and my 600 reviews sometimes, but hey, tis in zee past.
The weather here has been nothing short of fantastic and I took full advantage of it today. I just lazed with my friend in Stephens Green park enjoying a healthy lunch and just listening to music. Twas great. Although on the way home on the bus my hayfever caught up to me after it let me enjoy a sneeze-free day and I was pretty much sniffling and sneezing for two hours straight. Not fun.
Holidays
They're coming up soon and I'm SO looking forward to them. I'll be joining my friends for a week while they interrail, I would have preferred to stay longer but I'm only allowed two paid weeks off of work. We'll be heading to Amsterdam for three days, which will be cool. I have a feeling we'll be in many coffee shops and some place i hear where there's red lights? I wonder why :P Actually, some of my friends, myself included to an extent, are more so of the site-seeing, party during the night persuasion, so it wont be stoner-central all of the time:P Then, for the remaining four days of my stay, we'll be hitting Prague BIG TIME, it'll be brilliant :D
Then, once I work a week after said holiday I'm off again to Barcelona with my best friends. We sort of went all out and rented out this really swish apartment :P It'll cost us, but we're working and such, so it should be fine. I'm looking forward to the night life and beech-related activities a bit more on this trip. Plus, we all have our own rooms in this apartment, that's how swish it is, so we'll all have some place to go to wind down if one of us gets on the other's neveres :lol:
Music
I'v been going through some very weird music phases as of late. The other day I stuck on the Sunnydale Sound and fell in love with it again. Then of course, thanks to that I've been looking up Aimee Mann and loving her stuff all over again. I've been more on the dance scene as of late, but now I'm getting into the mellow stuff again for a while. I'd imagine my usual fall into nu/heavey metal is just around the corner. Anyways, here are a few songs I'm liking at the moment.
Save Me - Amy Mann - I love her voice, she can give the most frivolous of phrases an emotional depth, she's great!
Mark Ronson Feat Lily Allen - oh my god - he played at the ball i mentioned a few blogs ago and I've been listening to his stuff ever since. He always produces a great beat and I love Lily, even if she gets a lot of slack, this is a total summer tune.
A well respected man - the kinks - again, another summery song and just has a cool beat to it.
What your soul sings - Massive Attack Haunting, sexual and just such an amazing song. Listen.
I hope you will all pop by next weekend :)
