Morning :)

I'm really annoyed right now because I'm making a presentation on Evaluating Sources.  Yes, I thought I was studying Computer Sciences, too.  Here's some advice - don't go to an American University.

Anyway, seeing as there's no one here with me to show this view to, I'll show the world :) (where the world, in this case, is the one or two visitors I get on here):

Pubs

Mr Pickwick's, according to a scrolling LED display, is the oldest English pub in Switzerland.  It's the first pub I've been to for a while that I actually like.  Why? - because Geneva is a non-smoking canton.  There's no smoking inside this pub, which means that I don't get sore eyes :)

Anyway, I know what you're thinking.  Why am I telling what is, effectively, the whole world about a small pub in Geneva?  Well, it stops Adam from complaining at me for not updating!

Bye.

Sunburn Tournament

I win Smile.  I was at the OpenAir festival in St Gallen this weekend.  I hadn't seen a programme since Thursday evening, so I completely forgot who was on and when.  Turns out that the Manic Street Preachers were there (that's twice in 3 weeks for me), followed by Lenny Kravitz (very cool).  The Fratellis were on yesterday - perfect concert music.

Yesterday's concerts were all during the day time rather than the evening (I think there was a football game on or something), so the sun was out and shade was hard to come by.  As a result, I'm white on the left, and quite badly burnt on the right side.  Yes, its funny to look at, but it hurts quite a bit.

I should just point out that I do not recommend using trains as a hotel - its very tiring, and you have to wake up every 2 hours to change train.


No new poll this weekend, sorry.  I wasn't at home much so I didn't get a chance to upload the new thingy.  Besides, I haven't thought of a new question yet...
[Edit] - New poll is up, from the mastermind that is my sister.  She'd thought it'd be funny to know who you are.

The last poll turned out as two lumps majority - 18 out of 22 people voted for two, while one lump and more both got 2 votes each.

One Down, Two to Go

Well, that's the Caribana festival done with.  Two more to go...

Caribana is tiny!  Its almost cute.  Its not often you can't see the stage because a tree's in the way, either.

A fairly wide range of bands were there, from the Stereophics to Boy George.  Infadels were also there, which made them the first band that I've seen twice.  For some reason, the Manic Street preachers did a cover of Rihanna's Umbrella song (which was pretty good), and Boy George did T-Rex's Get It On.

I've stuck some pictures up in the gallery, so go have a look if you like.

Konk and Leak

First off, Konk: the new album coming from The Kooks.  It's out on April 11th (buy it here).  I've erm... "acquired" it, shall we say (I have actually pre-ordered it, so I've already bought it really...), before hand and I can report that it is very good.  It still has the same uniqueness about it that their first album had.  One can only hope to see them at Paléo again this year.

Speaking of Paléo, Romandie.com have got their grubby hands on a 'leaked' preview of this year's schedule.  Mika, The Hoosiers, and Maximo Park all on the same day - sounds good to me.  REM on the Sunday, too.

I know what I'm doing this summer :) ...mind you, I knew in December when I bought the tickets...
