Rock and Roll!

Another month passes, time seems to flash by here and drag on there. The G.E.F LT event was fun, despite 24 hours of continual rain. Had some drinks, some laughs, a slight bruising to the head, but otherwise fine.

Download festival was awesomesauce. Many (too many to see all of them) excellent bands, friendly people and interesting times. Standouts for me were Nightwish, Slash, Corey Taylor, The Mission, Tenacious D, Steel panther and of course Black Sabbath. Metallica came on 40 mins late, which was just disappointing and encouraged me to see someone else. Just a shame the weather was so awful to start with. The mud was so thick in places people were just abandoning their footwear. Oh, I also went on my first real amusement ride; some twisty thing that spins you through the air upside down and backwards. So that is two things from the list checked off this weekend.

Back to work now for 'start' of the academic year. A policy I do not agree with, but there it is. Only six weeks to go before summer. Hopefully I get some work lined up for after otherwise I am going to be a poor panda.
