It really has been a long time...

The title says it all. I'm bloody slack!

So, for those who (for some reason) continue to read this, I shall have to remember what's happened since my birthday.

Well, I got my mp3 player after all and it's awesome! It's a Sony Walkman 16gb in black (of course!). Haven't even filled up half of it yet, but I'm only putting music on it that I listen to regularly. Still trying to figure out how to convert videos to the right format and ratio and such so I can watch them on it.

I went with Sera to see Eskimo Joe play live. It was the second time I'd seen them, the first time was in 1998 or 1999, the opened for The Living End, but it was Sera's first time seeing them. They were awesome! They played here on 13th August, which was Sera's 25th birthday, so that was an awesome celebration for her.

I saw Marilyn Manson live on October 7th which was Alex's birthday. Abe and I paid for part of his ticket, and I'd also given Abe his ticket for his birthday. Aren't I awesome? Hehe. OH MY GOD, Mazza ROCKED! I've been to a fair few concerts in my time, and I think he topped them all, except perhaps NIN. I'll definitely be going if he comes here again!

A few days later (the 11th, to be exact), I saw Megadeth for the second time. They were supposed to be doing a double-bill with Slayer, but the lead singer came down with laryngitis and they had to cancel. Megadeth were pretty awesome though, and Dave Mustaine's attitude has improved since I saw them in 2007. I may or may not see them again if they play here again.

On December 16th, Lamb of God and Devildriver are playing here. Second time in less than a year for both bands! I haven't got my ticket yet, but I'm hoping I'll be able to get it in about a week. Fingers crossed they haven't sold out yet!

So, the Soundwave lineup for 2010 has been announced. I'm definitely going! Gotta wait until next Tuesday to buy the tickets though. I just hope I don't have too many of the bands I wanna see clashing...

So, that's a pretty quick summary of what's happened since my birthday. I'm damn sure I've missed quite a few important things, but I'll just have to add them as I think of them!

I'm gonna try to sleep now. Wish me luck!
