Had a great day yesterday. Went to see Monster Magnet play Effenaar (Eindhoven). In the afternoon, because of the WK football. Which was quite strange, but in the end it turned out great, since it's quite a journey by train. The show itself was great, a bit shocking to see what age and rehab have done to Dave though. But he sounded great, and that's what matters. They played a lot of classic Monster Magnet songs and, to my surprise, no songs from the new album.

I can tell you this though, I'll be very happy when the smoking ban goes into effect next week. I've so had it with coming home smelling like an ashtray. And since I'm in old lady mode, why does every show I've attended recently have to be so damn loud. My ears still haven't recovered now, more than a day later. I don't remember that ever happening before and I've seen quite a few shows in my time. I'm now actually considering getting custom earplugs.

Finally released: the new Firefox. Though I'm not too impressed with the changes to the skin, I have noticed a big improvement in performance. Try this Field guide for a list of features or my Delicious for some more info.
