I love Soundgarden so much....

Another day, another dollar (or few!)...
Been a really nice day today, no news though really. I'm just having a nice relaxing evening after a fairly boring afternoon at work. Put in my invoice for last months' work though, so that will be 2k at least for not much work. I'm glad I could spend so much time helping my friends out without having to...

Oh, I've never heard that song before. Yeah, if you remember it then write it down for me. You can even sing it for me one day if you like, hehe 
bettiebones:
Wow!!! That's great. I don't know the tune so I'm gonna make one up and sing it all day tomorrow And you sang it beautifully
And you sang it beautifully Wow, it's such a kickass lovely day here today. It's funny to think there were Gale force winds and driving hailstones here just 2 days ago!! 
The spring weather sure knows how to not make it's mind up. I'm about to head into BP to hopefully earn some money and invoice for my work last month. The Retro Rebels krew already phoned me because their...

Whuuuups... Wore my Dwarves tour t-shirt to work today, didn't go down well...!! It has "The Dwarves Must Die" on the front, and the guy at work who i've known for years took me aside and said "Can't take you to the canteen for lunch because of your t-shirt". Turns out there is a dwarf who works there near where they pass, and he reckoned that there would be someone who would pull us up and he would be in the sheeyat!! 
It's weird, I really didn't have my mind engaged when I threw it on this morning... Usually I'm thinking "Gotta wear something innofensive" and find a Lucky 13 or Felon t that is fine. But this morning, I just didn't fuckin think about it! Never mind, I was behind a desk and computer all day in an office with my former work colleagues right by the staff entrance, so no biggie. Be interesting to see if he's mentioned it to my old boss when I give him my invoice tomorrow. But, he's a reasonable guy and I'll just hold my hands up and say sorry, wasn't thinking, won't happen again. I'd usually wear a shirt and trousers for office work, but I'm basically sat at a computer the whole time and I also hate wearing it and cannae be arsed at the mo!
On the plus side, the wireless kit for my guitar came today. Gonna give it a wee whirl shortly I think. AND I got a DVD from local punk rock king Dod of legendary Aberdeen punk band Toxic Ephex of the Legendary Shackshakers gig Friday. It's really great, he's done an amazing editing and filming job, and the sound is very decent. Gonna whack it onto MD for listening to in my car, it's kickass!
Picked up a table and chairs for my dining room from a mate, along with a couple of cabinets with drawers for the garage.
That's about it for the day, I think!

Hey I saw Demented Are Go at Rock City in about '99, didnt see the support band though, I didnt live in Nottingham then so was late to the gig, was that your gig?
Man I'm tired!! I've had about 6 hours sleep in the past two nights.... Dirrrrty stop-out 
Been out getting wasted and having fun, and working in the shop. Stayed at a friends place Friday and last night, she fell asleep on top of me on the couch (fully clothed) Friday and then snored in my ear for the next 3 hours before she had to...

Thank you! My weekend hasn't been too bad! I just updated my journal if you want to read about it! 
Sounds like your weekend has been cool! Women are indeed strange, but not all want a guy who is a prick to them, or most of them learn that nice guys are the ones to have!
Your front garden is so lovely!

Opened at 10am on the dot, and a day with no real problems. Piercing and tattooing both went well, just finding it odd having so much space and being in a different place to before. Shop was busy, I spent my time running around doing small stuff like fitting catches to the window shutters and putting up paper towel dispensers, and making...
