Afternoon Dump 19/11

It's been a long day for me. I know it's not over, but just been busy with stuff. Planning a new album for just a week before Christmas and played a lot of Minecraft, The Saboteur and TF2, prepping myself for a LAN tomorrow, so I may just do a daily dose in the morning and that's about it, won't be home till after midnight on Sunday. So anyway, I hope this tires you over for the weekend.
