8 Things Blog...

My better half has been blog crazy lately, totally left me in the dust. She has a lot of initiative when it comes to the things she blogs about, going beyond the original remit of her intended blog topics and informing people of all kinds of things.
To this end, she's amassed over 60 followers, so i have some serious catching up to do. Today's blog of choice then...an 8 things blog. Its something she did and i thought it would make a good jumping off point.

8 things I look forward to

1) seeing my girl again after time apart
2) listening to an album in its entirety on a long enough journey on my iPod, particularly something totally new.
3) Quiet telly based evenings with my family.
4) Fifty Caliber Smile EP launch on May 9th. gonna shift some EPs and rock the fuck out of the assembled masses.
5) College being finished but hopefully being in a more full time mode of employment after some time off.
6) Getting back into my own flat (nice to put my mark on my own space again)
7) Always love getting packages from Amazon or generally anything i ordered off the net.
8) Finding myself emersed in a box set of top quality dvdness. Particularly something NEW and untouched.

8 things i did yesterday
(in order)

1) Listened to my new favourite Wilco album end to end on my trip to college (Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, it makes me sublimely happy)
2) Worked on soundtrack ideas for a short film, particularly acoustic guitar motifs inspired by "Let the right one in" and discussed arranging studio time to get them recorded
3) Wrote a short song based on a poem about happiness and not worrying.
4) Met up with my better half for a quick drink and wander around the shops.
