now and then and often in between

So, The Cavern looks like it'd be an awesome venue, just when it's not filled like it was tonight. That was to be expected, but man. I know that I'm claustrophobic and have issues with being closed in by strangers, but coleman_genie and _jibberish_ also thought it was a little much so we cut out after Novillero left the stage. I don't know if they played again later, but I kinda figured if I stayed much longer I'd have a panic attack.

Even with that though, I am so glad I went (and that pyroclasticgrub threatened to beat me if I didn't) because a few months ago I was really, really craving seeing them again, and then they were only playing in Saskatchewan and augh. And now there are four (well, now three) shows in December. Although I'm not going to the show on the 17th (previously planned parties) or New Year's at The Cavern again (because it will probably be just as insane).

I've realized that this summer the Novillero CD was to me what the Franz Ferdinand CD was the summer before: something I lived with, and associate with very strong memories. This is what I took up to Thompson with me, and when people asked me about music I proclaimed my love for them at every possible moment. The iconic moment would be seeing them with ananasananas, coleman_genie and _jibberish_ up in Gimli, and dancing my heart out (and accidentally stomping on Shannon's foot. Sorry again about that.) And the fireworks starting before they were supposed to take their break, and watching that and then the lightening coming up and this gorgeous scene in my mind of the guys playing brilliantly and the sky just being lit up so late at night and yeah. It was awesome.

But oh. I love them Novillero boys. They played two new songs, a cover I didn't recognize, a few songs off the album and the B-side of Abbey Road. While not familiar with the Beatles, I really liked it. And coleman_genie assures me that it was, in fact, awesome.

I have to say, this wasn't my favourite show of theirs, but I don't think that has much to do with them, as with my trouble with the amount of people in the venue and the ability to dance like I used to when they played in the Toad itself this summer.

Afterwards coleman_genie, _jibberish_ and I went to TImmy's for talk, tea and Timbits. We are awesome. I love my girls.

:) In short, I had a very good time tonight (except for the near panic attack).

So, for those that know MP3 players, is the Ice Audio 256MB MP3 Player (M200) any good?

Hmm. I'll probably wait until the new year to pick one up. Oh! Question for those of you who listen to MP3 players in colder climes (and this may sound strange) but do you have any problems with the earbuds in the cold? Or your batteries? Because I know sometimes the cold gives my walkman issues, and I'm not sure if it's the cold buggering up the rechargeable batteries, or condensation on the disk or what.

This is a really fucking good song.

Also, I am madly in love with this icon, because, dude. His fingers gnaarrgh...

I know I wasn't supposed to laugh at this, but dude. In the Firewall trailer, Harrison Ford appears to beat Nik over the head with a blender. Hee. And gah, Nik. I do enjoy him.

This is the third movie that he and Paul Bettany have been in together (Bent and Wimbledon are the other two, but in Bent Nik is only in the first five minutes or so, and Paul only the last five).

numensule says: Hmm...looks interesting. Paul and Nik are becoming the new Owen and Ben.
numensule says: but less funny
prairiedaun says: and more sexy
numensule says: oh yes.

I guess this means they're the new George and Brad? Or rather, the international George and Brad.

I'm just procrastinating liek woah here.

So, for my friends who are more clued in to the Harry Potter fandom, has there been any movie-based fic about the mysterious and hot character of "Karkaroff's Aide"?

Not that I need the distraction, of course. *kicks stalled paper*
