C'mon, I know you're excited really =P

Anyways, for those of you that don't remember from last time, the idea is I hit shuffle on my iTunes library, pick the first 25 tunes that appear, write down a line (that doesn't include the title) from it, and you lot guess wot the song is...WITHOUT using Google cause that's just no fun now is it =P

When a correct guess is made I'll put a strike through the line and list the song title below it along with the name of whoever got it right so's you can show off to all your friends. All good?

Birthday Blues

Did I mention it is my birthday on Sunday?

Well it is. And I've decided this year that I'm not gonna celebrate it.

I mean seriously, what's the point of celebrating getting older? No, instead I've decided to celebrate on Saturday and party out my last few hours of still being 26 in style.




Well...if you consider having a BBQ with a few friends "in style".

*sigh*

Ok then....lets re-phrase; I'm gonna comfort-eat away my last few hours of being able to say I'm "mid twenties". How bout that? Better?

Meh. I feel old.

Barenaked Ladies in Dublin

What a Letdown.

No, not the concert! Eesh no! That's the name of the song I cant stop singing from the 'Barenaked Ladies Are Men' album.

*squeeeeeeee* =D

I'm seriously having to resist melting into "fangirlyOMGijustsawthebarenakedladiesliveforthefirsttimeafteralltheseyears" mode. And I'll try my best. But I can't promise anything ;o)

After a very late (and very much delayed) flight back from Nottingham the night before, we dragged ourselves outta bed and headed down to Dublin at the crack of dawn. Well ok...it was about lunchtime really.

After Captain Planets being a massive disappointment last time, we decided to head to the world famous Eddie Rockets for some very disgusting, yet very very good diner food. Mmmm foot-long Chilli-Cheese Dogs, Garlic-Cheese Fries and Onion Rings, followed by the yummiest Oreo Malt-shake ever! We are all such incredible pies!



Anyways, after grabbing a cup of coffee to stop Matts head essploding, we headed round to the Olympia Theatre, where BNL were due to be on stage in about 2 hours time. We had planned to meet up with Carolyn, a friend of Matts from work, and her boyfriend, but for the life of us couldn't find the bar they were in. In all fairness, Carolyns directions leave a lot to be desired! =P lol

After a brief search for the mystery bar, we returned to the theatre and headed upstairs to take our seats. Yes, seats. Matt's old and Sarah has dodgy knees.
The place soon packed up and the lights dimmed down.

They bounded onto the stage with One week and the Old Apartment before going into an adlib about Ed's overindulgent eating. Apparently either the Bangers or the Mash would have been fine...but both together was a mistake. I knew how he felt! And anways, the best gigs always seem to be performed on overly full stomachs...a la Dave Matthews, who had the same problem with the Duck and the Lamb.



Many fantastic numbers followed, including a fantabulous acoustic version of "For You"...one of my fav BNL songs, "Twister: The Musical", and perhaps the highlight of the evening - the "Angry People" Dance =D Too funny! (You can see it HERE from their Brighton gig, or HERE in London.)



(clicky for bigger pics!)

I can't believe I fiiinally got to see them live =)

And the best thing about their concerts is that you can take it away with you. Literally...on a little USB stick. They record every gig they do, and you can pick it up from the merchandise stand straight after the show. How rockin is that?! And...even if you don't feel like queuing, you can take the slightly different route of downloading it from their website...complete with cd cover art. Sweet, no?

You cant beat them with a big bad barenaked memory stick!



Anyhoo...I'm gonna stop rambling now *looks at watch* mainly cause it's 3:52am and way past bedtime! Check out their audio site if ya fancy a listen for yourself. I'm off t'bed. Nighty!

Play-Offs

So yeh, I cant quite believe it's taken me this long to get round to a Playoffs update. I'm not even sure if I've fully recovered yet to be honest!

I think every year the weekend just gets better. We get to know some more new people, and catch up with the lesser spotted old friends. Everyone from every team gets together and has a right old knees-up. I'm telling ya - more fun than you could shake a big goalie stick at!

Anyways, despite the disappointment of losing to the Nottingham Panties after penalties in what I considered to be a pretty slow and evenly matched evening semi-final game...we still managed to have a blast all weekend. Now, although the temptation to start the first of 5 really long posts about everything that happened in full glorious technicolour is really clawing at me...I'm going to politely decline this year, and instead opt for just posting a fantabulous slideshow of all of the photo's I took with my shiny new camera ...mainly due to the fact that I've left it so long and also the immense headache I woke up with this morning.

So here it is =) :
