Aug. 6th, 2004 12:44 amIt's been thundering and lightning here. Which is cool. Especially if the really heavy thunder coincides with the Undertaker's WM XX entrance. Talk about atmosphere.
All of which translates to wheee I've finally managed to watch all of WMXX. And if I thought Benoit holding up the World Championship was the coolest thing ever, I have to say him and Eddie standing next to each other both hands aloft with a world championship belt beats it hands down. It makes me happy.
I'm going to have a bruise the size of a tennis ball on my arm tomorrow from ju-jitsu. But I had fun getting it. I should also be getting my PC Healthcheck for the laptop. Which is good, because if that goes kaput I am screwed next year. Not totally, but enough. My printer is already kinda of not functioning but I've got a spare so hopefully things will work out.
I finally got to hear the new Libertines song. Actually I could have waited and caught it on MTV2 but that would have meant I wouldn't have got a copy of Lars Friedriksen and the Bastards 'To Have and Have Not' which is the best punk song of the past five years.
I'm always really torn when it comes to the Libertines. I mean, they're not that bad, they're quite good actually, but the music press shove them down our (the listening public) throats and they're not as good the press say they are.
But as I say they are good, in fits and starts, and the whole of 'Don't Look Back Into The Sun'.
And I'm attracted to the more soap opera-like elements to their story.

The short version is cute singer guitarist 1 (Carl - http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/redfiona99/Libertines/Carl2.jpg and http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/redfiona99/Libertines/Carl1.jpg) is refusing to speak to cute singer guitarist 2 (Pete - http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/redfiona99/Libertines/Pete.jpg) until Pete gives up heroin. Pete meanwhile is refusing to quit until Carl talks to him.
And they're both given to statements like this "I want to give Pete a message of love. Please come back home."
