pure dead brilliant!

so i got up this morning and headed to the airport. my taxi driver told me that the airport was having a fairly significant power failure. it figures - with my luck traveling lately!

anyway, i show up and all is apparently well. however, ryanair's check in layout isn't exactly helpful so i hang out in line with two other people heading back to glasgow and we get told our line was elsewhere. so the guy and i start chatting and he ended up being so awesome! his name was kieran and he was originally from ireland but had moved to glasgow just recently to move in with his girlfriend. we grabbed a bite to eat and then decided it would be a good idea to start drinking. who cares that it was 10:30 in the morning! so we proceeded to get drunk - and then even more so on our 35 minute puddle jump across the channel. which i so have to mention this - ryanair gives you buy one get one free drinks. so the flight attendant hands me these clear baggies and i was like what is this? folks, there is a new innovation in drinking - baggie vodka. i am so not kidding and i am absolutely thrilled with this! it's beyond hilarious. kieran and i were absolutely blown away. one of the warnings on the baggie is to not drink the vodka directly from the baggie. it's like when you pour the soy sauce out of the packet so you have to be careful to not waste anything. i so need to find out where i can buy these things! i'l take a picture of the baggies and post them when i get back to london!

anyway, we landed and took the train in to the city. kieran was like - do you fancy another pint? to which i promptly responded of course! so we went and had another drink at a pub near the train station and saw really horrible music videos. apparently, michael jackson has gone and made a mess of a new song. we were rolling.

kieran then headed back home to go buy groceries (he was such great company!) and he put me in a taxi to go to the hotel (even though it was close by) because i was perhaps a little too intoxicated and given my tendency to get lost he thought that was the best idea.

so i got to the hotel where i promptly passed out for a couple hours. i got up, ordered some room service and then headed to the interpol show at carling academy glasgow. which was an amazing venue, fyi!

harley let me hang in the sound booth again and the show was brilliant! stand outs were heinrich manuever, nyc and the drums on the lighthouse. i so love it when they are so loud that you think you eardrums are going to burst!!! i really can't wait for the show tomorrow night. i am hoping they will play specialist one last time. please send good juju my way that they will!! ;)

ok, off to sleep. my last interpol show is approaching much too quickly! :( oh! btw, pure dead brilliant is the official saying of glasgow apparently. i think that so rocks! kieran was a bit disgusted/embarassed about it himself! :)

MWAH!!
