Oh! Are the 2nd pair Osiris? I think I have a really similar pair! (Minus the sparkly bits, and possibly greenier-brownier?

We can be glasses buddies!

Nah, they're just the standard specsavers brand. I couldn't afford the prettier designer ones

New shoes! I got 3 pairs of these in New Look today (1 pinky, 1 blue, 1 beigey/white).

I used to have an orange stripey pair that had a strapy cut-out thing around the back that were my favourite pair of shoes. I wore them nearly every day for 3 summers straight even though they were a size too big for the first 2 years and only fit properly for the last year. But last summer when I went to lok for them it turned out that my mam had thrown them out/given them away, Safe to say that I was devastated because they were my favourite pair of shoes.

But I've finally found some again \o/

yaaaaay for shoes. Got me some new Vans

I'm now extremely curious about these shoes and I can't see the picture!

Apparently they're called espadrilles which sound kinda cool and spanish-y

(Hopefully this attachment thing-y will work)

I upgraded from a measly 2gb iPod Nano to this 64gb iPod Touch:

It's amazing being able to carry more than a few, select songs.

my new baby

flyswatter · 13-04-2011 09:58PM

Blue Telecaster. It's a sexy little thing.

Also, a few other things which got I got online too. The power supply for the effects pedal I got in the post arrived damaged. I don't think I would order a guitar from Thomann. They didn't bother packaging the power supply box, they just rush things to get it to you as fast as possible.
I could have waited another day if they took more care.

Boss effects pedal:

WhiskeyGoblin · 13-04-2011 11:04PM

Ahhh, i know how you feel!
I got a D3100 for Christmas. They are way to much fun

Serious, high shutter speed and homemade flamethrower! Makes for some lovely pictures

flyswatter · 13-04-2011 11:42PM

Canons are excellent cameras, have used them and they are very good indeed.

Would love to try a Nikon sometime.

Have a Canon 500d myself. Canons feel like more bang for your buck compared to Nikons.

WhiskeyGoblin · 14-04-2011 12:02AM

Some Canons are lovely, some i despise. Some just feel so horribly cheap.
Honestly though it's all each to their own in the world of the DSLR. I love the 3100. Wouldnt replace it ever.

Although i was close to getting the 500D

Materials in Canon are cheaper but tech seems more expensive. 15mp vs 10-12mp for similar price.

Not always bout the camera though, most shots are as good as the lens and someones ability! Not arguing though, 1000D is a lovely starter

Colm! · 14-04-2011 09:40PM

"Invite only album launch". My god, I sound like a hipster
EDIT: Oh for feck's sake, they tell me afterwards that the launch is an 18+ gig. Anyone else called Colm Cahalane looking to go to a FRED gig? PM me.

toadpenguin · 16-04-2011 07:11PM

@Colm, you missed out on the gig in HMV today, great craic!

I also gots me a copy

Can't wait for the proper gig in the Pav.

Slow Show · 16-04-2011 07:22PM

I was actually gonna buy the FRED album today, but I was a bit short on the old funds at the time. I do intend to actually buy it despite having acquired it through other means...>.> But yeah, definitely gonna buy it, I'd feel a bit awful not doing it seeing as they're still a relatively obscure band (anyone I know knows Fred as the annoying dude on Youtube...) and probably need all the support they can get.

I did, however, pick this up:

I'm liking it, a lot, but still kinda thinking I should have got Leaving My Empire instead.

toadpenguin · 16-04-2011 07:34PM

It's definitely worth the money, much more mature than their older albums. Think along the lines of "The Lights" and "Evergreen"

Slow Show · 16-04-2011 08:29PM

The Lights is my favourite song of theirs actually, I see what you mean, more along that vein.

No I didn't, front row all the way :P
I will admit that seeing those pictures only made me wish I bought the CD copy

I actually love this album.

EDIT: Waaaait, yeah, I didn't know where ye were today. I wasn't too bothered with that though, considering that it turned out the gig was free even without my "free pass"...

toadpenguin · 16-04-2011 09:13PM

The free passes thing was a bit of a balls-up I have to admit, HMV's management just decided to make it open to the public last week and notified us and Fred's management after they had printed free passes and we had distributed them >.>
