Vacation Missive #8: The Last One
London! Since yesterday was Good Friday and everything else was closed, I just spent the entire day marching through the massive empty parking lots and retail complexes of the city to go to three different movie theatres and watch three different movies! I was smart and only got popcorn for the first one (I truly don't know if it's just that it's what I'm used to, but Landmark popcorn is so much better than any other chain's, CINEPLEX), but the sheer volume of Diet Coke/Pepsi consumed still did me in a bit, I think. Still, it was totally worth it. A good Friday!
I'm staying in a lovely inn/spa that definitely used to be some rich guy's house like a hundred years ago, and today I am simply taking it super chill, reading in my cushy third floor windowsill (I'd go downstairs to one of the fancy common areas, but that would require putting on pants and I already did that for breakfast) with Kenny Omega's Twitch stream going on my laptop (the reveal that Emi has apparently been tricking young girls into training as wrestlers for decades now is amazing) and the Bob Ross channel up on the TV. Truly living the dream until it's time for Collision tonight (the arena is only a 25-minute walk away), and then I'll be heading home tomorrow! My knee is still fucked, but the big nasty blister on my toe has finally started to subside. See y'all in April!
Wikipedia Sez: Dookie is the third studio album by the American rock band Green Day, released on February 1, 1994, by Reprise Records. The band's major label debut and first collaboration with producer Rob Cavallo, it was recorded in late summer 1993 at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley, California. Written mostly by frontman and guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong, the album is largely based on his personal experiences and includes themes such as boredom, anxiety, relationships, and sexuality. It was promoted with four singles: "Longview", "Basket Case", a re-recorded version of "Welcome to Paradise" (which originally appeared on the band's second studio album, 1991's Kerplunk), and "When I Come Around".
Genre: Pop/Rock
Styles: Alternative Pop/Rock, Alternative/Indie Rock, Pop Punk, Post-Grunge, Punk Revival
Release Date: February 1st, 1994
Prior Familiarity: Pretty high! Millennial anthems, and all that.
What I Did While Listening: Packed up my dirty clothes, tried to figure out the Nespresso machine (failed), and lotioned up my poor, abused legs. I told you, today is for nothing but chill vibes, at least until it's time to go see Shibata team up with the BCC for my last fix of live wrestling until May.
Verdict: TIGHT. TIGHT TIGHT TIGHT TIGHT TIGHT.
Favourite Song: Basket Case; millennial anthems, and all that.
