You Wanted The Best, You Got The Best...
Lesson of the day. If you have an LG Chocolate, don't drop it on the floor. Unlike the trusty Nokia brick, it will scratch. At least it didn't smash though - I don't think I'm the right sort of person to have a Chocolate... not unless somebody can design a rubber cover for it anyway.
I found myself in the rather envious position of remembering that it was Valentine's Day tomorrow which a bit of a coup. Sarah 'casually' mentioned that she had no more books to read so that was the present sorted. While I was in there, I found a book called Home From The Vinyl Cafe by Stuart McLean. Looks good... an intial scour suggests it to be something like High Fidelity crossed with Empire Records. I'll have finished it by tomorrow. Best had just in case Sarah has the same idea as me and pitches for the book options as well.
In between finishing up with last weeks Ashes to Ashes and catching Prison Break, I'd been looking for something in "the cupboard under the stairs" and instead of finding what I was after, came across a copy of The Medicine Way. This book thing is getting to be a serious addiction. I've read that book about four or five times now. It fell open at the page it always falls open at - the mind labyrinthe.
This is one of the greatest diagrams a human being can ever lay their eyes on. It's so simple and yet, I still haven't figured out how to use the machine. It's basically reinforcing what I have figured already - that you can have anything in this world that you can dream - if you can keep your censors quiet for long enough for the seeds to bed themselves in.
It's a complex process alright. Maybe it's time to ride the chaosphere again. Not sure if I can handle the fallout any more.
But all of this fades to grey as Kiss announce a full European tour this summer. This is the last time I shall ever go and see them - whatever they decide to do in the future. A Paul Stanley solo show is a different beast, but this will be it for me. One more time for the road. I think I shall take the whole family to the Paris show and do Download by myself.
I need to take everybody because a) they need an education b) I hope it doesn't spoil everything ever in the future for them but they need a point of reference and c) I don't need anymore reasons than that. It's Kiss.
