No! But I won't be able to post for a few days. Crazy few days ahead. How was Glastonbury? I liked Elbow on the TV box.

Verily fantastic! Bought a phone with interweb-powers this year and used it in the tent to figure out who the special guests were - meant I got to see Radiohead and Pulp. I've never seen Radiohead before and was sex-weeing myself with excitement, they were ace.

I may write some form of blog about it, but I will summarize :-

Awesome: Radiohead, Crystal Castles, Chemical Brothers, Tineh Tempah, Pendulum, Bright Eyes, The Wombats, James Blake (entire set off my face on Nitrous on the hill facing The Park, immense!), the food as usual, getting invited by a friend who supervises the Green Police to a private party in the staff field - 120 litres of Pimms, campsite joy and much more I have forgotten as I am still adjusting to not being there.

A bit less awesome: the mud was fun but it did wear us all out: always too tired for a 3am stroll to Shangri la or the dance village.

Much less awesome: car breaking down 40 seconds into a giant queue on a single lane country road. Managed to limp into a bush so people could get past. Made a sign that said "BROKEN DOWN! BISCUITS, FOOD AND WATER NEEDED!" (we only had neat vodka left :C) and it worked. We received biscuits, water and even a big bottle of Pepsi! RAC came, fixed the car, I rejoined the queue and the temp gauge went straight back up again, managed to ditch it out of the way as coolant evaporated spectacularly in a cloud of steam. Towed to Tesco in Shepton Mallet and then towed all the way home. 8 hour journey >.<

But still, that was all quite funny and we were in good spirits, so it didn't dampen the week :D

Whats the chance it's been nabbed by some coincidentally now less hungry US Customs officials who also coincidentally now have chocolate smeared across their faces?

I dunno, I've never really had much shipped to me from another country. A few computer parts from time to time I guess. Do they steal stuff? That seems like it would be pretty illegal!

If I had known, I might have watched more looking out for them.

 

Conor Oberst is very good, I like him.

I hope I didn't do anything wrong, definitely weighed and measured it right and put the customs slip with it.

If it doesn't come then I'll send a batch, we don't want Mouse having to fork out for a repeat.

nah I'd say it's just slow, but I'm now really excited so it's taking way longer than I want it to!
