morslaWorking out of two houses is tricky. Everything I go looking for tends to be in the other house, which makes for slow going...
I'm back in Melbourne at the moment, catching up on work and emails until I head back to Somerville again. Motivation to get started on things is at an all time low, although I'm slowly getting things done. I hope we get some better weather soon. As much as I've enjoyed wandering around in the rain over the past week, it's time to see this city rendered in something other than shades of grey.
On Friday night I took an exhausted![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
aeliel to the VNV Nation concert. It had a very different feel to the 2005 show - more casual, larger crowd, harder to get people up and moving. Ronan left plenty of singing for the crowd to do, though I'd rather he sang more often... the crowd didn't manage much volume or coherency except on the odd chorus or two. The band played a good mix of songs from across their albums, closing with a great version of Electronaught. I loved the show and wished I'd been able to stick around for the afterparty, but it had been a rough week. 2am might not be an "early" night, but it felt like one at the time...
Setlist: Farthest Star - Darkangel - Nemesis - Illusion - Epicentre - Chrome - Legion - Standing - Honour 2003 - Perpetual -- [encore 1] -- Homeward - Solitary -- [encore 2] -- Further - Beloved -- [encore 3] -- Electronaut
Saturday saw Ian's 30th celebrated in style with a 20,000 point 40k: Apocalypse game. The traitor legions had their first victory, after finally toppling one of the Imperial titans. Being outnumbered 4-0 by the lumbering war machines made things a bit tricky, but I have plans to build a Plague Titan to accompany the rotting legions in the next game... and maybe some anti-aircraft weapons as well. Being outflanked by the Imperial Navy is tough.
