Come on back to the war

You know those bits in films where the story skips forward and there's an establishing shot showing something that indicates what time we're in now? Newspaper headlines. A pop song. Colour schemes. Jeans suddenly baggy or skinny, hair suddenly fouffy or 'fro. I had a moment like that this summer on the tube at West Ham. In front of me there was a row of people reading newspapers with the Olympics all over them, and some dubstep went 'wommmmm' on my headphones just as we passed a row of wind turbines. Look, it's 2012!

I am posting to LJ from underground, on my commute, with my tiny pocket computer. This morning feels a bit like that. I am wearing glasses. My jeans are indeed skinny. I am listening to an old ultraruby mix (British Summertime). My hair is the same as it ever was. Hello world! It's been a weird couple of years. How were yours?

This year has been a bit up and down I guess, but the ups have been lovely. I've got more seriously into board game design, which I'd not more than tinkered with before. And met some excellent new people. And set and run my first pub quiz(zes). And other such fun things!
Not much music though, that's definitely been lacking. Not been to any gigs apart from local bands this year. Need to fix that!

2013 should be the Year of More Live Music. What are your local bands like?

Pretty ropey, to be honest. There's a couple of good reggae outfits, but that's about it. But the young ones are keen! – that's worth a lot.
