Happiest of days!
Mar. 9th, 2016 04:15 pmWe were in Sunderland early today, after doing what we'd actually gone there to do, I got my copies of Kerrang \o/
You can read Mikey's interview here but I must pay special attention to this photo that I had to sit and stare at for a long time, because, damn, Mikey Way!.
Also, that response about Gerard. My heart!
I really like the album, btw. It's very different to MCR's sound, but I expected that. So all in all, go Mikey and Dave!
Other good news.
Yesterday mam phoned to say three letters had been delivered to her house, one each for me, James and Corey. Unsure what they were, James told her to open his, and it was a cheque. And when he went up to get the letters there was a cheque for the same amount for me and one for a little bit more for Corey.
After thinking for a while I remembered a policy we took out just after Corey was born. A man used to come to mam's house -- we were living there at the time -- and collect payments. After a phone call this morning to the company it seems we'd paid a years worth of payments, then the man had stopped coming, but the policies stayed active, gaining interest over the next 19 years, and have just paid out. It's not life changing money, but enough that things won't be so tight for a while. So, that's what we were doing this morning. Putting those cheques in our bank account, and then afterwards picked up Pauline and her daughter and went to her son's house for dinner and to visit for a few hours.
Now I'm home, drinking coffee and gazing at Mikey. Not a bad way to spend time I'd say.
ETA: I've been reading my flist and see![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
bandombigbang is gearing up to happen again. I fully encourage anyone to join up if they're interested. The challenge is so low stress, but give such rich rewards. Plus, you know, if you sign up you could write/draw/create EC era Mikey. I'm just saying.
ETA2: I knew I was going to post about something else. Our regional news has been talking about Castle and a character in a recent episode that apparently has the worst Geordie accent ever. As I'm from Sunderland and not Newcastle I'm a mackem and not a geordie but get called one often by people who don't live local enough to tell the difference when they hear me talk. Anyway, I have to agree, this really is the worst Geordie accent ever. I recognise all the words, but how he's saying them. Nope.
Ah, <333333333
