[Closed] What's annoying you currently? II

Exhume the bird and take a picture so Alan can formally identify the remains!

Why do I make writing reviews so difficult for myself? Just write about the music and the way it makes you feel!

I broke up with my girlfriend, which was not the most pleasant experience in the world (my first time being the breakup-er rather than the breakup-ee). I like being with her, it's just some of her habits get to me. As we were talking, I noticed how pretty her face and eyes were. As I'm sitting at home, I'm not terribly pleased with myself because thinking over the past year we've been dating, I did have fun with her and she was affectionate with me. It's just we didn't love each other.

Maybe it's one of those "you don't know what you have until it's gone" cases.

I did say we didn't love each other and did not see the relationship going further.

Tim, I was wondering if the bird that Gomez caught was a goldfinch. Well, a few days later a goldfinch conveniently flew into one of our windows. It died as a result of the impact and David found it lying on one of our conifer plants. I took a photo of the wing to show up the yellow feathers.

If you could take a look and let me know if you recognise the markings!

Jackhammer. I've got my headphones on and I can still hear it. For a minute I thought it was part of the percussion!!!

Trilby hats? Where are you from Talos? Here, we hardly ever see anybody in a trilby hat.

One of lifes most annoying things is kids wearing trousers half way down their arses, it's been going on for over a decade now and I honestly thought ( when I first saw this "phenomenon" ) that it would be looked back upon within a year or so in the same way as people looked back at the ghastly 70's fashion of flared trousers......no such luck!!

Get a life. Seriously. (to them)

Yeah, followed by what he might have scored if he were still alive bla blah de blah.

I can understand the celebration of a deceased composer's birthday, especially if it's a round number, like 100. A kind of anniversary thing. But I've never understood the "anniversary" of someone's death day, especially not every single year which happens at FSM. That's just bizarre and a bit grotesque, IMO.

Even when the composer does a good/great job, people still wonder what Goldsmith could have done (you did that with Howard Shore and LOTR (specifically in your Fellowship of the Ring review)).

It's a fair cop... but in my defence... those words were written in the immediate aftermath of the score's release, I wasn't overwhelmed by that first score at the time and Goldsmith was a reasonably realistic alternative candidate to have scored the film. I think (but stand to be corrected) that I was more disappointed that some of the people who had been approached to score it but turned it down hadn't done it. I forget now whether Kilar was actually approached or not, but I still dream about what he'd have done.

Therefore I seem to be one of the idiots being criticised above. Oh dear!

He turned it down (according to himself, anyway).

Thank God!

My friends are ok. The festival terrain is evacuated and the festival will probably be cancelled. It seems one source had it wrong. 3 deaths and 11 heavily wounded is terrible.
