big day out

Oh, the irony imbued in the title. I havn't left the house (let alone my room) this entire day.

Big Day Out 2010 is looking to be a festival of recycled acts -

muse - 2004, 2007
powderfinger - 1994, 1996, 1997, 1999, 2001, 2005

Also, Bowie has definitely been ruled out as a performer. BDO staff asks that we do not blame them for it, and in fact we must blame ourselves for the fuckton of rumours we have been spreading on the internet through our blogs and such. I mean, we couldn't help it if we didn't want a subpar lineup.. but whatever, i'm happy about seeing Muse for the third time.

So at my doctor's advice, i'm being prematurely weaned off my prescription for benzodiazepines. It's taken me a long time to acknowledge that they weren't working, and that they were in fact making me regress to the point that I pretty much feel isolated from everyone I know. Moving on..
