Reilly has come up with the awesome idea of covering Punk Rock Girl by the Dead Milkmen. Since our band is an acoustic act we’ve slowed the song right down to the point where it’s barely recognisable. It’s not until you hear the “punk rock girl” refrain that you realize what song it is. Then during the fast bits (like the “we went to the village pizza company and ordered some hot tea but the waitress said well no we only have it iced” part) we speed everything up and there is much shouting and standing on top of drums. I’m expecting this to be the song that people talk about after they’ve seen our set. It’s so much fun!

This morning I’d intended to hit the gym but I’m feeling a little sniffly so I’m skipping that. Still doing the Grouse Grind tonight though. Maybe I’ll hit the gym tomorrow morning if my legs are feeling up to it.

It’s Friday today too! Four-day weeks go by quickly. I found this last week really intense at work becuase you feel like you’re behind when you start on Tuesday. My mind still expects that I’ll get 5 days of work done but there’s only 4 days to cram it into now. Yesterday I went heads-down all day and walked out of work feeling like a zombie at 5pm. The Grind should cure any zombie feelings tonight.
