blueyonder’s review of Absolution

To the uninitiated, such grandiosity can seem a little much on first listen - it’s like sticking two life-size marble lions at the end of the drive and adding a pair of gothic pillars to the porch of a three-bed semi in Bracknell.”
– blueyonder’s review of Muse’s new album, Absolution.

    An hour after saying I’ll get a cup of tea, I actually got one. Stupid boy.

  • Went to the Cartoon tonight to see Half Arsed. They were a really cool, even though I don’t normally listen to the whole skapunk type thing. Had lots of fun. Me and Mark are prolly gonna work at the Cartoon in a week or two. £22.50 cash-in-hand, every night i work isn’t bad, although I’d only be working twice a week, so I’d want another job, but still, it’s a cool job to have… I get free live music 50 feet away from me while I work which can only be a good thing.

    Saw someone at the cartoon with a t-shirt I found really funny. On the front it had “Christina Sucks” and on the back “Britney Swallows”. I shouldn’t find it that funny. But I did. Cos I’m sad. And yeah.

    It’s 5:53am. I’m not tired. This is wrong. I should be in bed, asleep. I’m _really_ awake though. Maybe that’s because I got up at noon yesterday and didn’t have dinner until gone midnight tonight…

    Talking to James Stevens. Haven’t spoken to him in ages. He seems to be having fun in Australia. He definately prefers living there to living here.

    I never emailed Hannah about housing associations. Damn.

    I want to feel Cat’s arms around me because she’s so comforting. I want to feel safe from all this uncertainty, even if it won’t go away. I think I’m finally beginning to accept my futureless fate though. At least if I’ve accepted it, it won’t bother me as much. That has to be a good thing, right? I’m not sure.

    I find myself unsure of most things at the moment. Because everything changes.

    I don’t even know why I think I have a futureless fate. Because I can’t even think about the future. I don’t understand myself.

    I’m starting to write nonsense now and contradict myself. Maybe I’ll post later when I can make more sense of something.

    I want a cup of tea.
