As I said yesterday, I was going to set out to purchase my first Porcupine Tree album this Saturday.
And here it is - on top of my MVI-version of Rush's "Snakes & Arrows":
Though finding a copy of the album didn't come without it's fair share of problems. I had to go to three stores to find the bloody thing; a "FutureShop", a "Best Buy" and eventually, an "HMV". The first two once had them in stock, but had no PT albums left in the stock. Thankfully, the HMV that I visited some 2 hours ago had just one copy left. Yup, just one.
It's rockin'!
EDIT: I forgot to mention that when I bought the album, the girl at the cash register undoubtedly liked me. Her nervous reactions and deep stare into my eyes were a clear give away. It was actually quite uncomfortable for the two of us... Good looking girl though!
The title says it all. This weekend has been quite terrible as it's been nothing but bitter, cold and wet; especially today which has been nothing but buckets of fucking rain.
Anyways, not too much new with myself. Been watching episodes of LouisTheroux's (a British television documentary guy) "Weird Weekends" as well as some of his other docs. Great presenter he is, and the show is absolutely hilarious. Love the many sarcastic overtones and quirky English humour.
Anyhow, as of right now, I'm listening to Geddy Lee's "Present Tense" from his solo album (clip below). Fantastic song!
It would appear that the rain season - aka: "Winter" - all 6+ months of it - is now looming upon us.
It's gloomy, cold, bitter and wet outside as I write this entry. Fuck - the only thing I have to say is: "Snow for the win".
Anyway..
Got a chance two watch a few movies last night. The first being which I mentioned earlier, "The Quiet", and "Cellular". And before you ask: yes, I'm a huge movie buff so I watch a ton of them. The latter was pretty awful, but offered simplistic and basic entertainment perfect for any Saturday night.
Hmm...What else?
Oh yes, I have yet to mention I ordered a new Rush CD last Monday - "Different Stages". It's a 3 disc live set recorded in 1978, 1994 and 1997. Expecting delivery tomorrow... Can't wait.
I'm reporting here (wtf, is this a news station?) from my home on this warm and sunny Saturday afternoon.
In lieu of my birthday this tomorrow, I am planning to just chill-out this weekend. Not doing anything cool I am afraid, more rest and relaxation if anything.
Just came back from my daily 45 minute walk. Feeling ok...
Went to Best Buy earlier today to pickup a few CD's - those ended up being Tom Cochrane "Victory Day" and Tears For Fears "Songs from the Big Chair". Excellent albums the pair (to say the least).
Other than that, I went ate at a Vietnamese (or was it Chinese...) restaurant where I encountered a stunningly beautiful part-Pakistani (or at least I assume) girl. Better yet, she was showing interest in me long before I even noticed her.
She arrived a little after I came into the restaurant and ordered.
Once my plate arrived, I started to eat and noticed that she was staring at me from across the room and trust me, it was not because I was in her focal point. Why do I say that? Because when I looked over at her, she quickly looked away with a slight shade of embarrassment attempting to make it look like she was not looking over at me. You know, that silly cat and mouse game us Humans oh so like to play.
What a spectacular looking chick too.. Absolutely beautiful and in a classic sense. She wasn't overly trendy, just nicely dressed. To be honest, I can hardly believe a girl that good looking was looking at me... Of course, I could be entirely wrong (about her looking at me because she thought I was attractive), but I somehow don't think so.
