Ridiculously excited

I had a day off so spent the morning packing for moving, and headed off for the bus in the afternoon for my driving lesson. However there was a major accident along the A82 meaning the road was completely shut and buses weren't running. Apparently it was three cars in a pile up at Lochend. No doubt one car was trying to overtake and took the other two with it. Now it's Summer it happens so often. Obviously I didn't make it to my lesson and walked back home.

I watched the Brazil v. Portugal match. I say watched; I had it on. It was such a dull stalemate game that I ended up hardly paying any attention to it by the second half.

The biggest achievement of the day really was the amazing lunch I created: since the week's shopping hasn't been done yet there is hardly any food in the house, so I had to be imaginative. I cooked some pasta and after scouring the cupboards, decided on a concoction of cheese, tomato sauce, american mustard and vegetarian worcester sauce. It was a triumph, and certaintly seems like a good step towards student culinary habits if I do go to university.

Song of the day is the Hoosiers' new song. It's called Choices and is a great comeback. The video's pretty funny but if you want to skip to the song, it starts at about 1:15. I love the 80's synth sound to it; it goes really well with his voice I think. It's instantly catchy without being annoying. I heard about the song today via an email from the Hoosiers mailing list. There's a competition of sorts associated with it. They're going to re-record this song, except it will be the longest single ever, coming in at over 40 minutes. They wil achieve this by requesting verses to be written by fans. You submit a verse of your own lyrics and if they decide it's good enough, they'll record it into the song, film it for the video (including your face at the appropriate point), and on the single that they release, your face will be on the cover art; obviously a long with everyone else's faces. I think this is an awesome idea and I immediately started writing something. I have never written lyrics before so it was really difficult, but I eventually came up with something that I was pleased with. I'm not going to post it here because it's pretty humiliating. If anyone bears witness to my lyrics it's then they made it into the song, meaning any mockery that could be extracted from it is negated by my triumph. I plan on writing a few verses over the next couple of weeks to multiply my chances of getting into it, because it's really exciting.
