As I mentioned in my previous post, I went out last night! Taz (my future Bristol roommate) came round my place after we finished uni to do the usual pre-drink/chat thing. Me and Taz always manage to find stuff to talk about, hence why he's one of my favourite people. We stuck on some records while we were drinking, first listening to my favourite album of last year; Black Milk - No Poison No Paradise. Was also nice to find out that it was a limited edition purple splatter disc copy, one sexy ass LP that one. Then we put on the COOLEST record I own; Dread Zeppelin - Un-led-ed from 1990. Essentially Led Zeppelin, but mixed with reggae, with Elvis inspired vocals! Funky as hell at points. Also worth noting that i've taken a sample from this record to use in a project i'm working on! More on that later... After the records we hit the Dragon Inn, which is probably my favourite pub in Weston-Super-Mare, where we met up with a few guys I work with. From that point onwards it was a pretty standard night out! We moved on to the Loft for super cheap drinks before hitting our main hangout on nights out, DB's. I lost Taz I think around three in the morning? Neither he or myself can remember haha... I was turfed out at half four, then I stumbled to the taxi rank to eventually get home and fall asleep on top of my clean laundry. Good times.
I eventually got up at midday today! Felt a little tender, so I sat for an hour in front of the tv drinking apple juice and groaning like a seal. After the usual post night out shit and shower however, I felt all dandy again. Left home at around two o'clock this afternoon to run down to the train station to get a train surprisingly! Was in a folky mood, so I stuck on The Tallest Man On Earth, Frank Turner, and James Vincent McMorrow for the journey. Arrived in Cardiff at half four, and was hugging my girlfriend ten minutes later!
Speaking of which, meet Jo! :
Obviously she's the attractive one on the right!! I'm in Cardiff for the weekend to visit my baby. She's here for uni studying law, and is much more intelligent than I am. Luckily she can't sing to save her life so we balance out pretty well! I didn't come up here and see her enough for her first term this year, which was my fault entirely. This term i'm doubling my efforts and spending as much time with her as I can. Otherwise I get all grumpy and no one wants that!!
We went out for a meal tonight at Ruby Tuesdays. Basically it's a TGI Friday's rip off, but the food was AMAZING. With each meal you get unlimited drink refills, and unlimited fries! I had ribs, men like ribs, so I had ribs. Jo had ribs too, and chicken, and shrimp. She's more manly than me when it comes to food sometimes haha.
We're not doing anything else big tonight, just going to spend our time together. No idea what we're going to do tomorrow except go to the bank, but i'm sure we'll find something!
Right now i'm listening to Hunger by the band LITE. Taz showed me this band, because he's all about math rock at the moment. They're a really cool Japanese project, and i'll be seeing them at ArcTanGent festival this year! Which is gonna be huuuuge! My summer is actually shaping up to be a good one this year! Anyway yeah, LITE are an awesome band, so anyone who wants to should definitely check out their latest full length called Installation!
Gonna go now, need another shit, and want to see my girlfriend!
