I don't feel so good
Last night was the work Xmas bash.
Fun was had by.........most. I had a ball.
We started the night with a game of name that tune, if you got it right then you got nominate someone to drink shots. Now I gave up drinking shots a long time ago, so long ago that I forgot why I stopped so I started again. I had a fair amount of drinks.
The thing with shots ya see, is they creep up on you and attack. You can drink three and not feel anything for ages, but then all of a sudden they gang up on you and all hit you at once. So when I say I had a fair amount I had about 10ish. They all got me at once.
Needless to say I was hammered and not in a very good state at all. I don't remember the night at all. I woke up this morning on a co-workers sofa
Main thing from last night, I was sick. A lot apparently. Also I was sick everywhere. The toilet, the table I was pretty bad to be honest. Thats not really like me but there you go. Yes folks I pulled an Eryn. From a few talks with people I have found out that I demanded to go outside where I lay on the floor because "I wanted to sleep". I think on some level I was trying to acheive the Holy Eyrn. I am glad to say that I didn't make that.
Normally when you are poorly you always ask for your mum. Well I was in a badway and so kept asking for the one person that knows more about drunkeness than anyone else. I kept asking for the Col. It was very frustrating asking people for my friend when none of them know him or how to get in contact with him. BTW its really simple, just drop a vodka bottle on the floor and that guy that comes running up and punches you in the face is the Col.
All in all it was a good night, I was sick but don't remember it so as far as I'm concerned it didn't really happen.
Plus the night helped me remember why I don't do shots, they make you throw up and make you feel like crap all the next day.
Ya live, ya learn.

I'm Sorry, What Did You Buy?
My mum and dad love to buy random crap. They are the type of people that will buy any gadget going cause "It will make their life easier".
Yes they are the type of people that bought a bread maker when they first came out. 1st question is obvious, did they ever make bread before buying this machine? Answer, No. After the first couple of months of having this new toy did they stop making bread and now is the bread maker just gathering dust in the kitchen? The answer is yes.
I remember some years ago my mum and dad went to a craft fair. Those of you not in the know about such affairs won't thank me for pointing out that its where women go to buy things to make other things. It is in places like this that you can purchase such things as coloured card, crimpling scissors, cross stitch patterns and so on. My mum is in to this sort of "Make it yourself cause its cheaper and more personnal" where in reality it should be "Make it yourself, it'll take more time and cost more, what with all the materials and what not plus all the tools for crimpling, and to be fair the only personnal thing about it will be the amount of blood you have dripped onto the f^&4ing card from all the bloody papercuts...........but its the thought that counts".
Anyway, my mum and dad return from the craft fair I ask them what they have bought.
Mum: A new car.
Craigy: *Puzzled* Sorry, you got that from the craft fair?
Mum: No on the way I saw it and thought it was good so I got it.
Craigy: *puts himself in the exact same position, If I was to see a car and think I must have it what kind of car would it be.......a nice flash one* What car did you get?
Mum: A Volvo.
Craigy: So you got a wardrobe on wheels, great.
This story just amuses me, but we are getting to my point. My mum and dad buy crap. Crap that they will never use.
So this morning my new credit card arrived and the tiny sticker on the front tells me to sign the back. I walk around the house trying to find a pen, and low and behold I can't find one.
But then, I happen across.........a quill.
Its a massive purple quill. Its in my kitchen right now.
I thought about looking for some ink, or even still looking for a pen, breaking it and using the ink for the quill just so when I go to the shop to use my card and they can't see my signature I can seem clever and sophisticated
"Has the ink rubbed off again? Sorry but I could only find goose ink to use with my quill today"
Of course all of the sophistcation goes right out of the window when I m stood there in my Tool t-shirt.
Perhaps if I wore a monocle..........and a top hat?

BRING IT ON!
There isn't a big enough hand in the world, to do a big enough rock hand for this.
I can't wait.
I always held off getting the boxset cause I knew they would make another one.

Before You Die II
This has been really hard. I find doing Top Ten's one of the hardest things you will ever do in your life ever.
It doesn't matter what its a list about you WILL get to number 8 and you WILL have 4 things that HAVE to be in the list. Nothing else can be dropped, you have to work out 2 from the 4, and you have got to work out what goes in and what does not.
I will admit right now that on one of these I have broken a Top Ten Album rule.
But I don't care, I followed all the rest...........and this was really hard.
Portishead, Dummy
Very creepy, chill out music. I will refrain from naming this "stoner music", but thats what it is. Its really good. The reason that Dummy makes it in and the first album "Portishead" isn't here is simple, on the first album (which is golden) there are a few stand out tracks that are brilliant. Whereas Dummy has at least 8-10 tracks (on a 10 track album) which could easily be the best song on the album. You just plain can't decide. The album got a real bad press when it came out, that it sounded "just like the first album". Yes it does. But thats Portisheads sound, its what they do and no-one else can match it.
Ray Lamontagne, Trouble
I went to see Garden State. It cheered me up. Its a great film by a great diretor/writer/actor Zach Braff. I was looking through his blog and every now and then it would have "Track of the week", one week it was Trouble. So I got my hands on this track and listened to it, then listened to it again. I listened to the song 3 times before I just ordered the CD. It turned up and I always listen to it. Honestly there isn't a week goes by where there isn't a Ray track (at least) on the ol' pod. Another story is, I was drunk and thought that my friends may also enjoy this album. So I bought them each a copy of it. But that one makes me out to be a generous drunk. And I don't like that kind of thing. Its not really my normal type of music, but it is brilliant.
OST, I Am Sam
Yes this is the rule breaker. A sound track in a list of best albums. Well, its kinda not a soundtrack cause they are all Beatles songs, but then it really breaks rules by being a over album. I was walking round HMV (CD/DVD store) and was listening to the music they were playing while looking for something to get to watch that night. "Holy crip, thats Eddie Vedder, but this is no song I know", so I went to the counter and they told me that they were playing the I Am Sam soundtrack. I walked out of there with the soundtrack and the DVD. Love the film adore the music. Its one of those wierd albums that you can use for anything. Singing along, chilling out to, unwinding, cheering up, getting sad to or just plain background noise. Its just great.
Muse, Absolution
I am a big fan of Muse. I love the varience you get on each album, plus Piano Riffs! *does metal hand thing* yes they rock. I have chosen the third album to go into the List. So, the first album is really good, but is kind of a diamond in the rough. Its everything that Muse do but its kinda not complete. Its like they put down all the songs that defined them as a band at that time. "We are Muse, and we go from plain rocking out, to chilling out, to rocking out with piano's", but because they were just some small band from Cornwall, not much time was put into it. Don't get me wrong its great and really enjoyable, but the production of the album could have been better. The 2nd album (Oigin o Symmetry) is great, its mainly rock and kicks ass. Absolution saw Muse go back to mixing things up and showing the complete range of their music talent that made them stand out from all the Nu-Metal shite that was going around. The variance o music styles will keep you on your toes if nothing else.
Weezer, The Blue Album.
The first three albums from Weezer will just plain knock you off your seat. The Green Album is the most up-beat album and would even cheer up Radiohead, and thats saying something. Tha album always reminds me of summer. Pinkerton doesn't remind me of anything its simpley really good. But out of the 3 its the Blue Album thats the best. I recently went to the Col's house, where we ended up getting drunk *odd that* and singing/shouting along to this album. Nothing to do wih this list. Well its kind of why it got here, its a great album, and i'm not he only one that thinks so. This album is guaranteed to rock your socks of with in 15 seconds of preesing play.
Done, also in case anyone is interested, albums that didn't make it:-
David Bowie, Best Of
Nine Inch Nails, Downward Spiral or maybe The Fragile
Incubus, Make Yourself
Glassjaw, Worship and Tribute
At The Drive In, Relationship Of Command
Ben Harper, *couldn't choose*
Faith No More, Angel Dust
Jon Brion, J'adore Huckabees (OST)
The Pixies, Surfer Rosa & Come On Pilgrim
Massive Attack, Mezzanine
Not easy. Bit I am happy with the 10 I have chosen, and hopefully its made you think about getting one of them, all really good and well worth your time.
I wish you luck in your new music quest.
