The cogs keep on turning

I got Gears of Wars 2 in the mail this morning and so far it’s pretty fun. It’s really just Gears of War but with a few extra guns, some light graphics improvements and a new story. I think there’s a lot of multiplayer improvements but I doubt I’ll play that much. I’m looking forward [...]

We did it!

Barack Obama was just elected President of the United States of America.

His acceptance speech was pretty good, he even mentioned the gays before the straighties.
A couple of people have given me “advice” warning that it could still be years before Obama invokes equal rights.I’m well aware of that, part of why I kinda hoped [...]

Judgement Day beckons

Well tomorrow’s the day. My future is decided. Do I move to Seattle or do I stay in Scotland? If Obama wins then hopefully within a year or two I can move to Seattle. If McCain wins then within a year or two Tim will be moving here.
God I hope Obama wins.

Broken toy soldier

So I heard from Tim and he’s mostly fine, just a sprained wrist and fractured ankle. He’s off work till Monday which is good, though he’s going a bit stir crazy cos he can’t play most of his games which he isn’t happy about.
I can’t believe that tomorrow is the first of November, that’s just [...]

I will race you to the waterside

I got Snow Patol’s new album this week and I’m really liking it. It’s not much of an evolution from Eyes Open but there are a few songs that have a very new sound to them that I like.
I’m glad it turned out good cos I was a bit nervous it wouldn’t after I was [...]

Dreaming of a white christmas

I’m off work for two consecutive days this week, the first time that’s happened since I went back to work. It’s like a little mini holiday. I went into town this afternoon to meet Chris for coffee. I went in an hour and a half early and had some lunch and a read of one [...]

Life plods on

I got a call from the HR manager of the Apple Store on Buchanan Street yesterday afternoon. They’re recruiting for the store and he wanted to ask me a couple questions. Unfortunately I missed the call and then I was working all day yesterday and then again this morning so when I finished at 2 [...]

Alone for Christmas

Since it’s looking more and more unlikely that I’m gonna be able to get the time off that I want from work at Christmas I said to Tim that maybe he shouldn’t come.
It’s gonna cost him like £700 just to get here at Christmas and then on top of that there’ll be traveling expenses [...]

Back to the start

Ian Blair finally resigned from his position yesterday, three years and seven bullets after he should’ve. How he managed to hang on this long is beyond me.
I got paid today and transferred £50 across to my savings, I figure that’s a better idea than waiting to see how much I have left at the end [...]
