A Town That's Right For Me

I've just had a band practice, and today that meant playing Funkytown over and over again for about an hour and a half. It doesn't half get in yer 'ead, that song. And we haven't even got a cowbell, so our version is rubbish.

I mentioned a coupla weeks ago that our band assignment this year was to play a gig with a theme. Some people in the past have down psychedelic, or ska sets.

We're doing songs from Shrek. So that means Funkytown, I'm A Believer, Hallelujah, and Holding Out For A Hero, which I have chosen to spearhead because I loves the power ballads, I do. Especially when I can stitch in some kind of epic horn solo.

Now, the keener-eyed of you will have noticed that I didn't update over the weekend, but in my defense there's not been all that much to write about. The bins were getting mighty full, and the fruit flies mighty numerous, so Gem had another clean-up (I helped a bit, honest! (Well, I took the recycling bag out)) and bought some new, pink, rubber gloves, which are rather fetching. She also bought a Fridge Freshener, which is like an air freshener but - get this - it goes in the fridge. So our leftover pizza may be smelling a bit lemony by the time I come to eat it.

Tom and Cliffey went to Varsity to watch the Merseyside derby yesterday, and they were rather too pleased with Everton's 2-0 victory for my liking. However, I do have a trick or two up my sleeve; I've just checked the fantasy football, and as of this morning I'm 25 points ahead of Tom. That's mostly thanks to one Carlos Tevez from Argentina, who grabbed two goals against Blackpool last night, but Leighton Baines getting an assist and a clean sheet can't have hurt, either.

Okay, I've got another depressing Cultures lecture to get to now, and then I'll be heading home to eat some lemony pizza and watch TV. I've not seen the Strictly Come Dancing results show yet, so nobody tell me who left.

By the way, Sarah thinks that Strictly Come Dancing is one of the worst programmes on television, so can everyone please write in to correct her. Thanks.

Hahwon't you take me to...

Joel.

P.S. I've just been checking the viewing figures and I've just gotten my first Slovenian visitor! So hello Slovenian visitor, I hope you feel welcome here. Give my regards to Ljubljana.
