Listening to Senjutsu (new Iron Maiden album). The lads are almost 70 and still got it. This might be their best album since BNW. Oh and got the 2nd shot of Pfizer.
I haven't liked what I've heard so far from Senjutsu. Maybe I should give it a second chance?

I didn't warm up to Final Frontier or Book of Souls before I had really listened to them multiple times. Now I think they are awesome. This one I like already, except fro Stragego. I hate that synth.

This is where I relay my not very good anecdote that one (or more? Can't remember) of Steve Harris' kids went to one of the schools I did. My father served him a burger at the school fete. ;)

I'm rewatching that The Art of Drumming documentary on Sky Arts. Great stuff, brings home just how diverse and amazing drumming is: I don't like heavy metal, but I can appreciate some of the incredible drummers from the genre (especially early bands, like Bill Ward from Black Sabbath).

Staying on the couch today, second vaccine dose hit me pretty hard.
Rest up sir. the second dose of Moderna did me in and I chilled on the couch, but like 12 hours later right as rain.

Hopefully, it passes swiftly for you as well.

Well done. Rest up. Ibuprofen and Tylenol are your friends

Check out Larnell Lewis. One of the great modern drummers. He is not a metal drummer but he did an amazing job playing Metallica by ear just after one listen.

Interesting, I found Moderna was pretty light on my body. First shot was a bit achey, second shot kinda felt like a hangover. :)

I hated Final Frontier, to be honest. But I'm old so there's that.

Final Frontier is for the second Bruce era, what Virtual XI is for the Blaze era. It's also produced horribly.

Like all the albums post Fear of the Dark, I needed multiple listening for Senjutsu, but now I think it's their best album since Seventh Son (and Hell on Earth their best song since that album).

Tested positive for COVID yesterday. I'm vaccinated, it's a breakthrough infection.
I’m sorry to hear that. How do you feel? Do you have a pulse oximeter? Be sure to stay hydrated.

I hope your symptoms remain mild

Slept super late. Been a rough week. Teaching nogi later today and jumping into a hot tub right after that.

Got a lower back ache from teaching berimbolo (yes, yes, I know...)
Got a swollen ankle from being a derp and tripping on a concrete footing that used to hold a parking meter machine - saw the physio and was recommended strengthening exercises and it was a minor sprain so that's kinda good
Fixed a filling that chipped off from over vigorous flossing
Had a urological issue remedied recently and I'm in that ball park that no one told me about until I was 'steeeriked out' :)

Just as home hanging out. Been teaching regularly but with difficulty because I have some tears and a strain in the ligaments of my left knee. Can't roll either.
I tried to roll but it is extremely painful and something on the right side of my left knee pops out of place and that is like torture until I pop it back in.

Waiting to see an orthopaedic (Canadian spelling) surgeon. Had and ultrasound done but the ortho who is a former team mate wants to send me to get an MRI to get a better look.

My family doctor has not given me the referral yet although he will issue it by Monday. Only asked for it late Thursday afternoon.

Anyway slowly going insane because I am limited in motion.

Have any of you had a similar issue?
