My last day as a 28 year old

Didn’t feel like blournalling yesterday because it wasn’t a particularly exciting day. I spent a lot of time playing shooting things and blowing shit up, collecting bolts and levelling up my health and weapons in Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando (or Ratchet and Clank 2 as it’s referred to in PAL territories). Maybe a little too much, but goddamn, it was way too much fun.

So today is the last day before I turn 29. I can almost guarantee that I won’t feel any older this time tomorrow, but I am a year and a day closer to turning thirty and that’s the scariest part. OK, it’s not really scary per se but I do feel like I’ve let myself down in some capacity because I’m not any closer to fulfilling my ambitions than I was at the start of this year… or the year before that… or even the year before that. OK, enough self-flagellating and self-pity for one paragraph. The point is that my birthday is tomorrow and I’m still looking forward to it, even if it’s not exactly the big deal it might’ve been when I was younger. I have a feeling it’s gonna be a good weekend.

Also, I heard a couple of songs on BBC Radio 6 earlier today that caught my attention and I want to keep them in my rotation, so here goes nothing:

“Fabienk” by Angine de Poitrine (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYNRaq_4OcU)
“Dr. Doctor” by congratulations (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRnnrSYZ3gA)
“Eat the Evidence” by Crying Loser (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9m0IThKZlxw)
“Miami” by Pigeon (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orZihOQgqJM)

I need to listen to a few more, but these songs are a good start, especially “Fabienk” and “Doctor Doctor”. Anyway, I’m afraid that’ll have to do for now. I’m about to head out for the night and I don’t wanna be working on this entry while I’m at the pub, so I think I’m gonna wrap things up here.

Take care.
