Aside from sleeping...


On Thursday night I went and saw Iron Maiden preform at the Rod Laver arena. Even though I only know a few of their songs, it was a fantastic concert. The crowd went nuts when they played Number of the Beast, then went insane during Run to the Hills. The most amazing thing was Bruce Dickinson's voice sounds the same now as it did when they were young. Just really amazing stuff.

I had a day of luck last weekend when I went down to JB with Maz so he could buy a Smallville DVD. I decided on a whim that I'd look through the CD's for The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust, though I'd never seen it in Australia before (only cheap Chinese imports) and according to Maz, the only way to get it is off ebay. Not only did I find it (and it was the only copy there), it was also on special so I picked it up for $10.

I've been without a car for over a week now. Withdrawal symptoms are beginning to kick in. Not having to drive my friends around for once is great, but having to get a lift to work every morning is beyond inexcusable.

Oh, and I've been reading The Dead Zone by Stephen King. I'd forgotten how much I enjoy his writing.
