Happy Birthday to me.

Happy Birthday to me.

I recently watched loudQuietloud a video about one of my favourite bands Pixies. First off time can be nasty Charles and Kim have ballooned considerably; while David and Joey look very much the same. The video follows the band around the world on their reunion tour (which I went to) and has some pretty candid behind the scenes moments. It was really the first time Iโ€™ve seen the personalities of the band members. KIm seems troubled. Clearly years of drug and alcohol abuse has left various scars. At least she insisted on having no booze back-stage during the tour. Charles was interestingโ€ฆ Iโ€™m sure many people could pass him by at WalMart buying stuff for his kids and not know who they walked by. I never knew Joey was so introverted. I think he said five words during the movie. David seems a little messed up as well. Personalities aside it seemed they really needed the money which likely prompted the tour. The film hints at them recording together again, but it hasnโ€™t happened in 4 years afterwards so I can only assume it โ€˜ainโ€™tโ€™ happeninโ€™. An interesting look at the band for any fans.

Up stupid early to take my car in to get fixed. Canโ€™t wait for the good news. Sigh.

Happy Birthday to me.

UPDATE!

My co-workers took me out for lunch to Mongolian Grill. YUM I hope we sign something soonโ€ฆ it would be a shame to break up this team. *frown* I got cake! *smile* Sabres better win tonight!

UPDATE!

Sabres didnโ€™t let me down! They got the big win v. Boston tonight. ๐Ÿ™‚
