serinde

Oct. 6th, 2004

I was working up a deep annoyance last night--I'd agreed to meet Brian at Hoboken for the 7:15 train; which he ambled up just as said train was leaving. The next one wasn't for an hour, so we waited a mere 40 minutes for a Main Line train (stops much further, but still walking distance, from his house). This turned out to be Not So Bad, as we discovered a very pleasing Italian restaurant en route. Perfect grilled portobellos, indeed. Yum.

Then, on the train this morning, I got on and immediately saw my pooky and, in true storybook fashion, awakened him from slumber with a kiss. This is, perhaps, not meeting qualifications for real serendipity, as that's the train he usually takes. But it was from his perspective: I was (as a result of a bizarre chain of circumstances I won't get into) carrying a bottle of Nexium, and he'd forgotten to take his for several days, which could have led to a very sorrowful pooky during the course of the day.

Less serendipitous:

8782 is out sick with the current office plague. Eli wasn't feeling too good yesterday, either. I WILL NOT BE SICK FOR MY TRIP. I have spoken.

Edit: Eli's out sick too. Whee!

Current Mood: calm

Idly curious, I went to see if Hawkwind was playing any gigs around London while I'll be there. They're not, but this led me to the Sweden Rock Festival next June, where they are playing. Along with Judas Priest, the Scorpions, UFO, Monster Magnet, Slade, April Wine, Heart, Nazareth, et cetera, et cetera, and so forth. (Europe is playing too, but I'm sure we can pack a few rotten tomatoes.)

I'm intrigued. More than a bit. And you can camp for free with the price of your ticket (though I bet Steve will fuss if I suggest it).

Edit: Which the ticket price translates to THIRTEEN BUCKS. We pay almost that much for a fucking movie these days. There is no way I can pass this up. (Airfare, shmaerfare.)

Current Mood: excited
Current Music: Hawkwind, "Welcome to the Future"
