an austrian went yodelling...

wo, its been a while since i updated this.
I do apologise.
Just been an open mic night at sleazys. it was really good, but there were several types of performers:

1 the guys you don't think on first appearances should be there, but then give really stonking performances (we had some amazing gospel songs from a fairly unusual candidate.)

2 the emo guys who give really heart searing performances and kinda fit into the background but have no banter and take themselves just a little too seriously sometimes

3 the extroverts who know they like the stage and give you a bit of banter as well as a great song

4 this one really cute slightly confused canadian guy, who was just soooo extraordinarily pleased about everything and who you just wanted to hug.

5 one or two performers who held the mic too close for the high notes and wrecked the enjoyment.

but without a mix of these people the nigt might well have bummed. its crazy, there are some real regulars at this night and they're all good and obviously well liked and then there are some newcomers, but theres a real buzz around the place, althoug everyone respects whoever is on stage and the room pretty much shuts up to listen to them. its ace. and they give out free marshmallows! i'm loving that it has to be said.

So anyway, i reckon i should head to bed. gotta be up and out for 8.15 tomorrow!

empty hands

i dislike technology sometimes. iTunes doesn't want to play properly atm. blehhhh.
today was frustrating. we had a drama rehearsal scheduled for this morning, which, the hope was, everyone would turn up for and participate in. they didn't.

there were the five of us doing the workshop, then two others in the second drama group and about four other people. some people sat out (they were ill, it was ok) people came, but left to do other things.. aargh. it just wasn't fun. and the team project was draining and just blugh. then i relaxed for about twenty minutes after several phone calls to the school etc etc, checked my emails, loads of crappy ones, one quite nice one, which i actually forwarded (thats unusual btw. i don't particularly like forwards or send them often, but i'll make exceptions.) before i ran off to tea, ate my dinner in five minutes flat, went to a rather dull and pointless course comittee meeting where none of my lecturers attended (they're all in spain or something) so it was pointless pointless pointless.

and i've just been sitting around my room now. not really doing much. i should start on my essay's. think i'll start them after this.

yesterday was fun though. i went into town, spent too much money, went to the drama group at maryhill, which was really really funny, met nomy for coffee, ate some rather nice stew, went back into town, met bob, walked to his flat, had a cup of tea and went home. fell asleep. it was nice.

hope you're all doing well.

i'd recommend reading a million little pieces by james frey.

have fun.

ps i'm looking forward to the weekend when folk are coming up to glasgow.. woooooo:)
