So, things are happening and such, it's been a while since my last post, I wouldn't say too much has happened since then, but I think now is an interesting time so I'm happy to write while I am in a good mood. Plus I got a few things I would like to write down to mark the good mood so yeah, lets go!
Last year I found a band by the name of The Joy Formidable, they blew me away when I heard them, I personally think they're one of the best bands I have had the joy of listening to in recent years. So it was a good coincidence that they had an album out in January and it's fantastic, I couldn't praise Wolf's Law enough, sure there are one or two songs I always skip but you can't win em all. So what's this got to do with anything? Well I saw them live last month, not only got to see them play but also met them afterwards. One of the few times I have been star stuck and derpy around people but hey, I don't meet musicians who's music I love every day. I think if I met Grant from Feeder I would have a seizure or something, well that's a hyperbole but still. Seriously though, they're a great band and they're wonderful in person, was a pleasure to spend the night in their presence, they put on a great show, would defiantly see them again!
The hockey started again since I last posted! GO SHARKS! It's finally nice to get a puck dropped! It's strange that now I have a steady net connection, it meant I could follow the San Jose Sharks this year. This is my first season where I have taken hockey seriously, and not as a casual fan, and what happens? The players go on strike! It was looking like we wouldn't have a game this season but hey, the puck was dropped last month as the sharks started the season with an explosive 7 game streak. Which was a shame, they dropped in performance significantly since their seven wins, losing 8 times in a row since, but the sharks are looking like their set to turn it around now, so it's not to bad. Here's hoping they go onto good things this year! Good luck guys, rooting for you!
And last on the "what have I been up to" is I have recently revamped my interest in art and craft again, I have started drawing again most nights, most of what I draw is not worth sharing but if I doodle something I fancy showing off, no doubt I will post it here. It's not just drawing though, I'm trying to get back into crocheting and I am starting to take up knitting and cross stitch. Yeah, I'm a guy, I'm aware of the awkwardness but why should I feel bad about it, it's pretty fun and hopefully it means I get to make some pretty awesome things down the line, not just for myself but for other people. I have a few ideas. I want to knit/crochet myself a San Jose Shark scare, and also a Cthulhu dice bag. Possibly make a portal themed scarf for my cousin, also I would love to make a Final Fantasy White Mage scarf, although it would take a while before I can do this, gotta start small, I'm aware, Rome wasn't built in a day and all. As for the cross stitching side, I would love to make some video game related pieces, stuff from the retro days, all that good stuff. I have been looking online and it's given me some great ideas for stuff.
