'Well, if Peter hadn't caught the wolf? What then?'

I have had an awesome weekend. Laughs. Talkings. New musical discoveries (thanks to the wonderful Mr. Cookington). Maidstone Wind Symphony at The Exchange in Maidstone. Wokingham Schools Concert at the Hexagon in Reading.

I love the way James talks about music. He feels it right from his stomach, and with every single inch of himself (okay, I've just read that back to myself and it's not supposed to sound as rude as it does!). I only know a few other people like that. Besides that, anyone who has the same name as the Captain Cook is pretty damn awesome by default, let's face it!

I've just listened to Iced Earth's Gettysburg Trilogy in its entirety for the first time in about two years. I still adore it but whilst listening to the rest of that album I couldn't help thinking 'yeah okay Iced Earth; you're patriotic. We get it.' I've never felt like that before. Perhaps I'm just a bit cynical today because I'm feeling poorly and I didn't get the job I wanted. How gutting to be down to the final four/five people going for THREE available jobs and then not get it! It's like getting to the final of the X-Factor and then losing...I'd expect.

Now it's time for some Peter and the Wolf which I haven't listened to properly since childhood. Mum and Dad used to play it to me on an old Vinyl EP. It's bringing back memories. :)

Comfort food pls.

Fin.
