over the last few weeks, whenever i looked at the calendar on the fridge i felt a tingle of excitement. video games live was coming up and i couldn't wait for it. so last night was the big night. we were off to the national concert hall, lordkilljoy in dr. who stylings of a suit and cons and me wearing my lolita dress.
the concert was brilliant, between the orchestra, the choir, the visuals from the games and the light show that went along with it. the music was great (even though i didn't really know any of it), the showmanship was entertaining (and totally over the top) and the venue was perfect.
we hung around after to get signatures and gush at jack wall.
saturday night was lainey316's birthday. we went to a lebanese restaurant and then on to a pub. the food was good - it's always nice to try something different. it was a good night, but i was a little too tired and full to really enjoy it. the others went mad dancing - i danced in my chair :)
in other news:
today, for the first time ever, i used rubber gloves to wash the dishes. and the reason? i didn't want to take my gloves off. it's been really cold all weekend - the kitchen got down to 9degrees yesterday afternoon.
i'm a bit worried about nymph. he's kind of stopped eating and i wonder is he a little too cold. but he doesn't look very skinny, so i think he's all right.

ReplyDelete9 degrees is inhuman!
ah, that was only the weekend because i wasn't around with my computer on to keep the place warm.
ReplyDeleteit's generally around 16.
16 is not warm in my book :) Not even tepid. But then I tend to have heat on full blast at home, I can't bear the cold. That is on top of woolly jumpers obv, I'm not one of those crazy people with central heating and a t-shirt :)
ReplyDeleteYea - you get used to it.
ReplyDeleteI am one of those people who goes around in a t-shirt when the hearing is on full blast.
