Prodigy gig

I'm going to try and review more of the things I see on here - it'll get me in the habit of posting, and also help me feel like I do stuff :)

I saw the Prodigy twice last year (I'm a bit of a groupy :)) - the first time they were very good, the second time they were good enough, but seemed kind of tired. As they have continued to tour since then, I was a bit worried about the prognosis for this gig, but they didn't disappoint.

They'd freshened up the setlist a bit, so I was pleasantly surprised that they didn't finish on Out of Space :) Lots of old favourites there, with some of the new album songs thrown in, and some really fresh new mixes on most of the songs. The venue was more intimate than other times I've seen them, and maybe this gave them more enregy? Whatever the reason, they seemed a lot more genuinely happy to be performing and a good time was had by all :)

Nothing's shocking

One of those "ow..fuck...ow" moments that seem to come all too often these days.

Defrosting the fridge is a major hassle involving removing bits of the fridge. Not too time-consuming, just lots of work with a screwdriver and hot water. Well, two minutes work with a spray full of boiling salty water, then a panic that I hadn't reconnected the fan once it was all reassembled.

Never mind, thinks the mule. I can just remove a couple of strategic screws and feel around to check.

Probably should have switched it off before that. My first incoherent thought was that a small rodent had taken up living in my fridge, and had bitten me. That was after the sort of uncontrollable moo-ing noise you only produce in childbirth, or when they let the brakes off on Oblivion. Then I realised all the appliances had gone off and my fringe was stuck straight up, ergo I'd probably electrocuted myself. Major doh!

Talking of labour pains, the sproglet is now a 1-year old sproglet. I had crazy dreams about giving birth the night before. I actually have a lot of thoughts on that, but I'll save them for when the fingers on my left hand work again.

Had a wicked weekend with brother-of-mine - watched Southland Tales, which I'll have to redo when I'm less tired, then got off my head and went to see Ministry, which was a kicking gig. Took me right back, I can tell you.

Anyway... ow...
