It occurs to me why I rarely make pot brownies anymore - the 24-hour period of uber-lethargy that follows. It’s not a particularly painful hangover, it just lasts an annoyingly long time. Short trips to get food and supplies are about the extent of my capabilities during this period. This didn’t seem to be much of a problem when I was in my early 20s…

I thoroughly enjoyed watching Arsenal outclass Spurs on Saturday. It was a free flowing game chock full of classy goals and near misses. I spent the afternoon making brownies and watching episodes of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia (I’ve gone from kinda liking this show to craving it in the last month or so) before heading down to Red Rocks for Monolith.

Red Rocks is a chill venue and a nice place to hold a festival. Spoon and The Flaming Lips were enjoyable on the brownies - although the latter’s singer (Wayne Coyne) spent too much time talking between songs (it’s ok really, I also talk too much). Good set otherwise though - complete with a Coyne occupied hamster ball brought out by dancers dressed in Santa outfits, a round video screen (”like the one Radiohead used in Grant Park” says my friend) streamer cannons, massive balloons flowing through the crowd…it was a good show.
