Alternating between singing two Guns n’ Roses songs over and over in my head, Breakdown being one of them and Dead Horse being the other… “Sick of this life
Not that you’d care…”

It has been a hellish couple of weeks and I am really suffering for it now. I have worked 20 out of the first 25 days of the month (that’s 5 more than I should have!) and 14 of those were without a break… ah well, that’s my life it seems. I have missed heaps of school and was in a panic last night and decided I should quit, but I am feeling a bit better about it today, I took my assignment in and the guy didn’t verbally rip it to shreds like he did to some of the other pieces, so I felt almost good.

My car is falling apart. $1000 again in the last 2 days to get it working, alternator, starter motor, distributor cap, blah blah blah, they have all gone. I have had the RACV out 3 times in the last week and had to get a tow truck last night. I rang my boss to say I would be in late today, after not coming in yesterday and he was really angry at me, although he was trying to hide it. I just burst into tears when I got off the phone to him and sobbed my heart out in the car, waiting for the tow truck. Mark solved the problem by taking another day off and staying home with my car to wait for the mobile mechanic while I drove his to work today. He is the bestest in the whole world *smiles*.

Sydney was awfully busy, we had some laughs too, but mostly it was just exhausting and I was totally brain dead by the end of the show and my body was rebelling by the end of the pack up after lugging slabs of marble around Sydney *cracks her back yet again!*

I did get to see Full Scale in Sydney though and got to meet a few people off the message board which was really cool, they were really nice

Sunday night we saw Anthrax, Soilwork, Killswitch Engage and Embodiment play at the Palace. I wasn’t overly taken with Soilwork, not my cup o’ tea, but Killswitch were phenomenal! They had such huge stage presence and some really killer music too, and damned if their bass player wasn’t one of the funniest bastards I have heard in a long time, his voice was a dead ringer for Henry Rollins too!

Anthrax of course were amazing, they played a bit of everything spanning their 20 years in the game from (1983 through to last years album) and closed with a screamingly fast version of Bring The Noise, none of us could keep up with Scott’ singing, considering it was the last song of an hour and a half set, I think he did amazingly well!!

The mosh was scary, I have never seen one so violent and I was immensely thankful to be upstairs! Although we did have two morons upstairs who kept breaking out into a fight every few songs, leaving us hiding behind a table out of the way. Jerks!

Well anyways it seems the day has disappeared and now I get to go home.

Finally.
