Been a while eh guys? I’d best just get stuck in with an all-around music/movie/life review.

Monday - Went to see Adam Sandler’s remake of Mean Machine, “The Longest Yard”, it was surprisingly good, and a departure from his regular own-brand of comedy, thought some of the principle elements remained. Guys getting hit/kicked in the crotch, that guy that always says “you can do it!”, you know what I’m talking about. Hilariously, Tigg asked for “2 pounds of salt.” Good times. Also, for dinner that night I had kangaroo , it was kinda disappointing, with a taste like braised beef and the texture of venison . Comically enough, the meat was rather springy (I can’t see this post being syndicated by slashfood, can you?).

Tuesday - Boring boring boring, until about 5 o’clock when I set off to Leeds (justifying the travel categorisation of this post) with Hodge to see the magnificent trio of Anberlin, The Early November, and The Starting Line at the aircraft hangar-esque Cockpit, description via Kenny Starting Line. Guess which is my favourite of the three…

They were all really good, although we missed a bit of Anberlin because our tight schedule got us there about 15mins after I intended. Mark your calenders friends, March 2006 TEN’s new triple CD album will be hitting stores. Although before that time I’ll surely be hitting the dancefloors in my new Early November t-shirt that I didn’t realise had pink on it, but I think I’m hairy enough for it to be obvious that the pink means nothing, nothing!

Today - Went down to Barrow to have my car serviced and M.O.T’d (what does MOT stand for anyway?), so to waste time me and Neil went bowling and watched Charlie & the Chocolate Factory in a totally dead cinema. I enjoyed the film, it just looks so awesome, hopefully it’ll see more film-makers cutting down on how much CGI they use. There was also a trailer for Tim Burton’s next(?) film, “The Corpse Bride” which stars pretty much the same cast as C&TCF that I’ve been looking forward too for a while.

My car was fine, except for something which sounds-life-threatening-but-isn’t called “shock absorber seepage” but that should be OK till the next check-up.
