I always think its funny to look at the blank slate that is an empty blog post box, if on;y it knew what terrible angst it was going to recieve...
Well its not, I don't feel like rambling about this to my IRL friends never mind people who don't really know me. So fuck that. Here's what happened this last month +:
*I did 2 presentations for my uni classes and managed to both pass and fuck up at the same time.
*I saw Decapitated for the7th time, it was great
*I saw Rotting Christ on Saturday
*I ended up doing the university phoneathon (more on that later)
*I spent 15 on a Paysage d'hiver album which to my surprise came in an a5 digipack inside a sealed black emvelope with the Pd'H logo embossed on it (?!)
*I won a Gallhammer shirt from Peaceville
*I managed to arrange everything for my Oslo stint in April so that I can travel with Gib (rather than being bored out of my mind like last years treck).
*I got Stand Alone Complex 2nd gig and then wrote an angry leter to Manga complaining about the sloppy translation and unprofessional presentation.
Anyway the phoneathon, this was cute, basically Roehampton's applications were down something trivial (~3%), but now they're panicking about this and the other BS so existing students who had volenteered to work at the open day ended up on this instead... calling prespective students and answering questions they may have about the university. Seriously. I got 45 worth of Asda vouchers and free pizza out of it but still... The best thing was when one girl had to stop calling for 5 mins to get over one call, it went something like this:
Caller: Hello is this [girl], we're students calling from Roehampton university to answer any of your questions about the university or student life.
[girl]: *breathing heavily* sorry can you say that again, Mark get off me!
I thought that was rather amusing but since the Christian union was involved then well sex is evil and ungodly and blah blah jesus crap (there's nothing more innane than happy Christians).
Eye of Horus is revealing itself to be severely understaffed; seriously look at our list of upcoming gigs... I also found out that I could probably have got press passes for Infero owed to actually being a member of the press in some vague capacity (in which I'm not but there you go) since poeple who don't even have webzines are being dolled out with them... but still its Gib who does the photography, I just BS a lot.
How are ye vagrant netfiends?
Currently listening to:
Koldbrann: Moribund
Nocternity: Onyx
...And Oceans/Havoc Unit/The Sin Decay: 3-way split
Paysage d'Hiver: Schattengang
Code: Noveau Gloaming
Rotten Sound: Exit
Deathspell Omega: Si Monumentum Requires, Circumspice
...and now that same box just looks sad.

Hey! I just wanted to stop by and thank you for being a member of the Concerts Group. The Summer Concert Season is almost upon us, so I'd love to have you throw a review into the group if you happen to catch any great (or not-so-great) shows this year. And if you know of anyone who might like the group... send 'em our way. The more the merrier!! Have a great summer! ♥
