One of the many pleasures of being drunk and having a bank card is that you sometimes don’t remember how or why you have purchased something until it arrives. At some point before Christmas I must have thought it was a great idea to buy a Zoo for the Wii and we got to play with it this weekend with Mills. You choose your animals, the sex and then put them in an enclosure. Mills wanted 2 tapirs, 2 elephants and 2 hippos and named them all in her special language that cracks us up. The only caveat is that you have to clean the enclosures, feed them, call them and pet them twice a day or else you get naughty or gluttonous animals. Which is what we’ve got. I bring this all on myself…

In other news we went to see Henry Rollins on Saturday with the ginger half of the Bones as man Bone had man flu or more than likely Norovirus Bone which flows off the tongue much like the projectile vomit he was suffering from. Henry did his thang and brought us up to date with what he had been up to in his own humorous, rapid and intense style. I’ve gone on at great length previously about him, nuff said.

Tonight is the first live rehearsal with a band for over a year and I’m nervous/excited as I’m very rusty. That once important part of my life has been dormant for ages and when I picked up a bass last night and it felt weird. I’ve been playing drums and guitar too much over the past year. The reason for it is a one off gig to provide a band for a young singer and we will be playing both types of music – Country and Western. Should be a giggle…
