Festivals

I like going to festivals. They are good times all around. I don't like being poor, that is bad times! Which is why I've been looking for cheap festivals to go to. Dot to Dot in Nottingam is normally a given, but they've cut that down to just the one day without cutting the price! The cheeky buggers. Granted, £25 for a day of music is still pretty good but the line up doesn't look so grand this year which is a shame.
So there I was being all "gaaaah" about not having a festival to go to, when I was given the link for the Y-Not Festival and oh my gosh, I shall be there or be a square! Any line up that includes Johnny Foreigner, Young Knives, Tellison and Whiskey Cats is alright by me. But the best part is thus: for a whole weekend, that's three nights, and camping it costs less than £50. I'm pretty sure I'd be the most foolish man to ever exist if I didn't go, so I shall. I think you should too. Another one I have been looking into is Indie Tracks. £55 for a weekend there, and Emmy the Great is playing! I haven't heard of any of the other lot playing, but I reckon it'd be worth it and it's only just down the road.
If any of them are as good as Rock Werchter last year, then we'll be on to a winner.
Anyone want to come?

Today...

I'm still having no luck on this job front. I'm now finding that there are fewer and fewer jobs out there I'd actually be able to do. I'm bored of looking, I'm bored of talking, I'm bored of listening, I'm bored of writing and I'm bored of reading about needing a job! But I do need one...
If you're crafty enough to spot the time that this has been posted, you might have worked out I didn't go into work today. I felt well rough when I woke up; I even cancelled my driving lesson tonight but now I feel alright, so I've pretty much wasted my day! Oh well, I shall attempt to do something productive, like drink lots of tea, and play with Alfie and do that thing that's been boring me. Or, I'll just play Fifa and GTA until my eyes fall out.

I'm currently listening to an album I've had since I was in about year 10. That's about 8 or 9 years ago. Bloody hell. Anyway, it's the Atticus: Dragging the Lake compilation. Proper old school! Bands like Finch, The Used, Blink 182, Alkaline Trio, New Found Glory and many others I just don't listen to anymore. Nostalgia is a fun thing.

Laterz.

Whassup?!

Where the flip did March come from?! I know February is a short month, but it kinda flew by. Before we know it, it'll be April. Which is scary, particularly because I will most likely be out of the job. I asked Sue yesterday how much longer she thought I'd be working where I am; she reckons March 31st. Maybe a little longer if I have to train up someone else to do my job! Bit flipping rude if you ask me.
I've been applying for jobs for ages, I haven't had any luck at all. I applied for a job last night, and got an email this morning telling me I'd been unsuccessful. Bah! I emailed back asking why; apparently I'm over qualified. Over qualified?! What the flip?? I don't care, give me the fucking job! Bah squared.

I passed my driving theory last Friday! Second time lucky! Now to pass the practical. I'm already looking at cars, it's probably a bit premature, but I bloody well want one!

That's me done.
Roll on the weekend :)
