i don't need this

So the best(?) part about catching up with the past Manics albums has been the unexpected character development that is Nicky Wire learning to sing.

Like, I forget which song he first does vocals on, and which is the most recent, just because I am not fully familiar with everything I've missed, but you can hear the clear progression over time and it's awesome, even if it is fucking painful at times (sorry, Nicky).

I also have two new favourite songs: Solitude Sometimes Is, and Walk Me To The Bridge (the latter is an absolute banger, and I will not hear your opinions of otherwise, because you're wrong :d ). And like, the majority of the back catalogue is okay to listen to. I obviously don't love it as much as Generation Terrorists through to Everything Must Go, but I've had 25+ years with those, and two weeks with everything else.

Also: my replacement copy of Lifeblood turned up yesterday, so that's good :D Now I just have to listen to it to check it isn't Skippy Mk II.

I got flattened by a migraine on Friday, which was annoying because I wanted to do Stuff™ but then I awoke in a foul mood, so I didn't want to do anything, and then when my mood shifted, the pain kicked in, and so I was out of action for the majority of the day. And now I have gone over self-set deadlines, and I feel bad about it. I shouldn't, but I am.

(I almost thought I was going to be flattened by another one last night, but thankfully that didn't happen).

So I mostly watched Flembons play Pizza Tower, which looks like a hella frustrating game to play - it's apparently inspired by Wario Land 4, which I have no experience of, but it looks like it plays like a Sonic game to me. But I find it really fun, if extremely anxiety-inducing, to watch. Also I did fanart of Pepperman, but I haven't finished it yet.

I don't think I have anything else to say, so I am going to end this here!
