Days Ten to Twelve

Sunday Lazy Sunday (and Saturday and Friday).

A bit of food shopping, housekeeping, reading (newspapers, Transformers, Sheriff of Babylon (most recommended) and other comics), listening to music (mostly the Brian Jonestown Massacre and 6Blocc), crosswords and a bit of TV (mostly King of Queens and Jonathan Creek).

I read the first volume of the Transformers partwork (http://www.transformerscollection.com/collection/), which was the UK tie-in to the Transformers movie and it took me back to those carefree days of thirty-odd years ago. Also made me a little worried that I’m wallowing a little too much in nostalgia (what with watching TV shows from 10-20 years ago) and not moving on enough (i.e. getting a new job).

The Brian Jonestown Massacre EPs (Groove Is In The Heart (http://www.junodownload.com/products/the-brian-groove-is-in-the-heart/3294874-02/), Open Minds Now Close (http://www.junodownload.com/products/the-brian-jonestown-open-minds-now-close/3298549-02/) and Dropping Bombs On The Sun (http://www.junodownload.com/products/the-brian-dropping-bombs-on-the-sun/3300932-02/)) were great, a maturing of the BJM sound (although that doesn’t properly convey the beauty and majesty of the songs, especially as the BJM sound encapsulates the different strands of rock ‘n’ roll since the Sixties).

Back when I was employed I would start the Guardian G2 crossword on the way into work and finish during lunch. But, as that has changed the crosswords have built up, so spent a few hours wondering what 5 across was (and then doing the Sudoku). I did ok and got the little grey cells got started.
