So, this is the music behind the whole introduction on the current Muse tour. Awesomeness personified

I suppose I should write about the gig. I'll put the highlights here (i've talked about it enough)
1. the stage set was amazing! the crowd were broken into three, which really helped with the shoving. The stage was circular, with three towers that went up and down :D and two "wings" off each side. I was on Matt's side for the first time.
2. The introduction was cool. They had big brotheresque people projected walking up these tower blocks. Near the end the people started falling down.
3. Helskinki Jam is mindblowing. Chris and Dom playing their fastest whilst rotating :D
4. Talking to a girl called Hannah in the crowd. She went to her guitar shop in Devon and because she was a Muse fan they let her play on Matts guitar they had just finished and were going to ship out to him!!! I also met Din from the TSR Muse soc
5. MK Ultra!!!!!
6. Matt's awesome light up glasses that he chucked into the crowd
7. Lazers! so many lazers! Matt even used his CD thing on his mic stand to aim them at us
8. Ending, got a tour programme and a t-shirt. Ran to the train station and pyro missed her train so came back home with me

News
Hello everyone. Not used this blog in a while. Am back in the UK now. Third year is suiting me.
1.I deleted all the poltical blogs. Some were naieve, some were boring and all of them were a bit pretentious. So, I got rid of them.
2.Henceforth this blog will be to keep all the awesome websites I come across in once place. I'm going to have to start labelling the posts (urgh)
3. Film reviews are, however, still going to be placed here
4. Personal stuff has no place here, as ever
5. Certain themes of stuff I like will keep cropping up. Some funny, some serious, some random, some topical, but always awesome

Watchmen (spoilers)
So, I went to see this film with Lucie yesterday having heard good things. I was happy it was on in English as I was dying to see it.
Well! it was pretty cool. The effects were amazing, fight scenes pretty cool, costumes awesome and the characters were great!
Psyco mask guy reminded me alot of the joker. The comedian was messed up but was still kinda cool in a arsehole kinda way. Night owl guy was so sweet. He deserved the girl. She was gorgeous, probably the only person who could look ok in stuff that tight. Her mum's costume was pretty cool as well. Love the 40s hair, the stockings and the corset. Dr Manhattan is pretty cool, other than the random blue penis every now and again. Really distracting!haha.
The story was really great too! Developed, interesting plot and all sorts of different emotions played on. Some parts were so gory I couldn't look.
In the end the plot was confusing, not quite clear enough. Both me and Lucie didn't really understand. I read the wiki for the comic today and it makes a bit more sense now.
Overall really worth seeing. I'm going to get it on DVD when it comes out. I think thats all I have to say. I might edit this if i've missed anything crucial.

Italian streets
So, as most people know by now, i'm in Italy. Here in Italy they don't really have a benefits system. This means there are lots of poor people who have no back up on money and hence means that theres alot of beggars. In all the cities i've been in in the UK I've never met more than one beggar per time i'm in the city centre. Here everytime I go out my door to get to university I pass at least three.
Sometimes these are people sitting down with a cup, which is what i'm used to. More often here its people trying to sell you something. They sell flowers, socks, tissues.. anything to make a quick bit of money. I don't mind this, everyone has to find their own way, and i'm sad that the Italian government doesn't try and help them.
This isn't all though. Sometimes they don't have anything to sell, they just come up and ask for money. I find this annoying, but I don't blame them. What I don't like is when you refuse them more than once and they keep following you and talking to you. Sometimes they don't take no for an answer, and there are a bunch of this kind of people.
Lastly, and thankfully alot more rare, is a differnt type. Quite a few of them touch you. This I find a complete voliation of personal space and it makes me very uncomfortable. Normally you can carry on walking and they drop it. Not every time. For the second time ever today I had someone cling to me. The first time was this big black guy who grabbed my arm and kept it even after I tried to stuggle. I got very scared and told him in a raised (and no doubt paniced) voice that I had a lecure and he let me go. It shocked me.
Today I had something similar. This time it was a woman who grabbed my coat on my arm and clung pathetically and whined at me. I told her to her face that I was scared but she carried on. She went closer to me and she was right up against my bag. She moved back and I thought I saw her hand moving as if to hide something. I said "what did you do?" in a shocked voice and checked my bag. I honestly believed she had taken something, but I was wrong. At this point she obviously realised she'd pushed me too far for money and moved back and I left.
I can understand that in Italy people are more open with touching, but from strangers surely thats not normal. I find it so so creepy
