Boredom = Internet = Pointless blogging = More boredom

Finding it very hard to be sociable today, so I've turned to my good friend, the interweb where I plan to stay for as long as possible...

Pretty sure any kind of human interaction would kill me.

I'm currently lacking a TV, DVD player, CD player, phone charger (and my battery is nearly dead), any kind of gaming entertainment system and light, which really isn't helping the situation. In fact, all I have is this laptop, which I'm kind of scared to use as the charger exploded yesterday when I plugged it into the extension lead. (Hence the lack of the previously mentioned electrical items)

I wish James would text me back. Tut tut.

Rich

We also do other things:

Another post in quick succession! I figure it's worth mentioning a few of us are also in other bands that should be listened to at the earliest opportunity.
Rich plays guitar in Here Goes Everything: www.myspace.com/heregoeseverything who also feature Tom on drums. Tom was in the band that eventually became Abandoner up until I did my trademark "i don't like the songs/we're not ready/moanmoanmoan" routine that led to us basically splitting up and Tom and Gareth (who used to play guitar) buggering off to further their educations.
James & Johnny play drums and bass respectively in You Win Again Gravity: www.myspace.com/youwinagaingravity I'm convinced Gravity Wins Again has a cooler ring to it, but apparently they'd lose Futurama cool points. Can't have that.

I think that's everything, Sean's too busy drinking and I play far too much Pro Evo to bother having anything else on the go. Obviously Abandoner is the best band as we have more friends on the internet and that's what really counts. None of this playing good songs rubbish.

Gracious Ghost

We stuck a new song online last week, it's called Gracious Ghost. I say new, it's actually pretty much the first song we ever wrote but we never quite got it right and the version we recorded this time last year was from definitive. Anyway, we got there in the end and the lyrics are as follows:

We will slowly burn tonight
You never looked so beautiful
and everything will slowly burn away
as we sink to our hell.
A gracious ghost tried to pick me up
it felt like I was being swallowed whole
but I saw light and hoped for land.
Mistakes, they remain.
Feels like the ocean washed them away
And my skin, stained with regret
now has reached the horizon.
We are here, we are waiting.
Taken from my throne and I could swear i'm slowly sinking to the bottom.
Everything seems so perfect looking down from here...

We're just waiting to get the final mix back of the other track we recorded (Apologies To Alaska), it was as good as done until someone said "let's try it with some cello". Oh Jeff, what have you done? We'll put that up as soon as we get it, then we're recording again end of the month.
We will play some gigs eventually, I was thinking about starting to message promoters when I blew up my PC...maybe fate just isn't a fan of the 'bandoner. That really was the worst use of an apostrophe in the history of the written word.
I still haven't found out what that restaurant eventually got named.
