I got to see NIGTHWISH and KAMELOT play last night, and Alyssa from THE AGONIST sang with KAMELOT. It was epic and just what I needed to take my mind off the medical stuff going on with my mum for a night.

Yeah, it's was hella cool...oh and Elize Ryd (AMARANTHE) sang with KAMELOT too (She dueted with Alissa and Tommy on MARCH OF MEPHISTO).

It looks like they have other opening acts when they come down under to you.

You know, considering that the latest NIGTHWISH disc is a concept we actually expected more of a visual spectacle...but it was more of a straight up concert with very little if any visuals. It was still very good (Anette doesn't quite belt the tracks out like Tarja did), but I have to say that for power, visuals and crowd excitement KAMELOT's 35 minute opening set knocked it clean out of the park. BEST part of the night definitely. With Tommy on vocals now (and for the new disc SILVERTHORN) and with those guest vocalists actually showing on the album (with both Elize and Alissa guesting) I think the band is the best they've been in ten years. Just SOLID, entertainment. If they ever come down to you, I HIGHLY recommend them.

Got my car back today and you'd never know I'd had a bump.
New headlight, new wing, new bonnet and a good bumper dress.
£180 all told
I'm well chuffed.
Plus, the bloke I hit has agreed to let me pay for the new bumper for his quashqi. £465.
Which I think is quite fair too.
Not sure why I'm paying my insurance though.

My mum is stable, and recovering from her ordeal. She's still in hospital and won't be out for a few days yet, but she's out of danger and awake and moving about a bit. This makes me happy.

Oh, I don't know about that Loki :rolleyes:

Guess the Swans were due to break our streak. But why did it have to be in the prelim?!

But I'm still happy because last night I went to a friend's house, drank cider, ate chocolate and watched Paleface (Bob Hope) and Machete, which was awesome, insane, retarded, brilliant, or some combination thereof.

And today's my play, wish me luck gaiz!

First day of a two week holiday and a 7% payrise yesterday. I'm on a winning streak in life at the moment. Something bad is probably going to happen, but what the heck.

Hawthorn into the AFL grand final next Saturday and Canterbury into the Rugby League grand final next Sunday. I'm not going anywhere. :rolleyes:
