Now theres a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky

As mentioned by Jenni, last friday Syd Barrett died. And as mentioned, Syd Barrett is very much an unsung hero. Musically, he was a genius. He would be well justified in saying that he made Pink Floyd, without his influence Pink Floyd would most probaly be the band they are today, and thats something we can all give thanks for. When I got the text from jenni in psy about Syd, I wasn't sure what to do. Unsuprisingly, as soon as I got out of the classroom I got out my iPod and starting playing Shine On You Crazy Diamond. And as it is a bit longer than my usual trip home, I had a little cycle around for half an hour or so. I can't claim to be as devestated as jenni is, as I know that she loves everything Pink Floyd more than I do, but I still consider myself a pretty big fan. And I think that its sad that Syd Barretts should pass on with such little recognition. Despite his decline thanks to LSD, the world has lost a great man in Syd Barrett. And so few people will realise. I'm not gonna do a lengthy post about it, as it would be pointless to try and out-do what jenni has already said. So I'll just get on with the events of the last week.

Generally, the week has been highly uneventful. Sports day on thursday was shit as usual, and I spent an hour or so cowering from the sun under an umbrella (gamers don't like sun, it creates glare on the screen which means you might not see that orc coming at you from the right, and it burns us precious). At about 5 I realised I still haven't made a toga for mikes, so I grabbed a sheet, then i grabbed a richy and we bopped over to mikes. It was a pretty cool evening, and seeing everyone in togas was pretty funny. Unusually, I didn't drink. I've decided to cut back a bit, as I do drink rather a lot. And also i need to save some money. Friday I sat at home all day, meaning that when Syd Barrett was dying I was probaly sitting on my sofa or playing Oblivion. Saturday I went adams, mucked around in the pool, watched Dr Who, and then had to walk alll the way home, which was like a 40 min walk. I hate walking. Sunday I played football, which was alright, except I fucked up my leg doing a slide tackle, which was a bit gay. Generally a pretty shite week. But the end of term is fast approaching. I should probaly start my psy cw draft...
