Flounder / Performance Hat

Today I found Flounder. Will the consequences ever be the same? I fear not. This is some of the most intense stuff I have ever heard, and I can't get enough of it. When I heard Demo II, I was dumbfounded. When I heard Demo III, Demo II started sounding like tripe. Of course it's still awesome. It's just that Demo III is Albino Slug tier of awesomeness, and that's not something any other band can claim. Holy shit.

Randomly went to the same mall where we did the Christmas shopping. A ponymeet was held there yesterday (I didn't go, first one I missed during my tenure as a ponymeet-goer), and they couldn't find any blindbags at all. The meet leader had a word with the employees of the toy store, and what do I see when I walk in today? A spanking fresh shipment of wave three blindbags, all for me to sift through! Scored Big Macintosh, so I'm up to two ponies. Wanted to pick up Lyra for Fox & Lillien, but I forgot what the identification number was. Funny thing though, whenever I go to that mall with my family I end up buying a pony. I guess the new wave of blindbags will be out when we go there yet again, and I'll pick up Derpy (she'd better be in there!) to maintain the tradition.

Also, I scored a new Performance Hat. Others may consider other elements of gigging apparel important, but for me the vital component is the hat. Got a fantastic red ski cap from Big Star, complete with pompom. The site says it's a female model, but what do they know. My old trusty ski cap that I casually nicked from my dad is freaking amazing, but it's probably older than I am and it's a bit stretched, so I need a new one just in case. This one does the job pretty well.

By the way, tomorrow I'm starting my masters studies. Never before have I dreaded going back to university quite this much, and I can't even put my finger on why. Maybe because the leadup to my final exam was stressful, and the couple of weeks I've had off weren't quite enough to recuperate? Hell knows. I'll survive.

So yeah, another post. All hail Flounder!
