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 of the week. If the moneys sitting there in my account then I know I’ll just spend it, this way I can’t.

We’ve started a little lottery thing in work. Basically you pick a number from one to fifty and pay £1 and if you’re number is the bonus ball on Saturday’s lottery draw then you win the pot. Myself, Abby, Andy and Sarah all put in two numbers and Emma and Kirstie did one so the pot this week will be £10. Fingers crossed!

Two weeks today Ross will be home, it’s so bizarre. It’ll be nice to have him home, but hopefully he’s learnt how to boost the heating after he’s been for a bath!

Tim’s booking his flights next week so once he’s done that I’m gonna put in for the time off from work and then book my flights to London and our flights back. We’re looking at hiring a car while we’re in Glasgow so maybe we can do a bit of sightseeing which’ll be nice.

After whinging about how many games are coming out this fall I now find myself without any to play. The next release isn’t till next Friday so in the meantime I’m replaying The Force Unleashed. I also have Viva Piñata 2 to play but I can’t get myself into it. It just feels like all the same things I did a year and a half ago.

I’m still reading American Gods, it seems to be taking me ages since I’ve only really read it at work. I’m really enjoying it though, it’s got a very original story and lots of interesting characters.

Tonight I was at Mandy and Emma’s for dinner because it was Emma’s birthday. It was fun getting to see them since I haven’t seen them since I got back. Mandy is pregnant again which is cool, hopefully this time it’ll stick.

I took over my photo album since my photos came today. I made two photo albums, one of Seattle and one of everything else. I only took the Seattle one with me tho. It was really just to sort of put Tim in front of them in many photos and show what a part of my life he is.

I’ll prolly send out an e-mail to everyone before he arrives just making it crystal clear what he is and what we are.

Speaking of Tim, five weeks from now the US election will be underway or even over. It’s kind of scary that that event is gonna shape my future so much. Well not really my future, just where it’s gonna be.

If Obama wins then I’ll be moving to the States once he puts equal rights in place like he says he will, unfortunately that might take a while. If McCain wins then Tim will move over here within the next year or two.

I’m kinda wishing McCain would win so that we could be together quicker, who knows how long it’ll take Obama to pass equal rights? But I don’t think I could live in Scotland my entire life and I love our house in Seattle too much.

It’d be cool if Tim could move over here till I finish school and then we move back there but it’d be too expensive and also Americans can’t have dual citizenship so if Tim were to move here and marry me he’d never be able to go back.

His Mum would hate me for that.

I went to the cinema with Paula last week to see The Women which was rather dull, the film not Paula. Unfortunately there’s no good films out for another couple of weeks, and then they come out by the truckload.

I wish I was the kind of person that could just go out drinkingk but I’m really not. Paula and Sabah go out to clubs and stuff but that just isn’t my scene. I’d rather go to a coffee shop/pub and chat than a noisy bar full of drunk teenagers.

This Friday is Kirstin’s birthday shindig and I’m not really in the mood for it cos I know it’s gonna be exactly what I described above and I won’t have fun. Maybe I’ll meet her for lunch on Sunday or something.

I have to work six days next week which should be fun. Renata’s off on holiday so a couple of us have to work six days to cover her. I’m not really bothered cos I won’t be doing anything anyway and it’ll get me more money. I just hope I don’t have any ten hour shifts next week, they always ruin my week.

Ross is home two weeks on Thursday which is just scary. I can’t believe it’s been a year already, it seems like the time has flown. I still can’t believe October starts in two days, Christmas will be here in no time!

Speaking of Christmas, Tim got confirmation from his boss that he can go on holiday at Christmas so now all he has to do is book his flights. I’m flying down to London on the 18th to meet him and then we’re spending a couple days in London before either flying or getting the train back to Glasgow.

I went to Au Naturale yesterday with Mum and I got a 15 tog winter duvet. 15 tog is the thickest you can get, but I bet I’ll still need another one come wintertime. I really hate this room in winter cos it gets so bloody cold.

I also found the bed I wanna buy, since my current one is broken so I have to get a new one before Tim comes to visit. The one I found is £99 from Au Naturale and has a black leather headboard and sides. It’s really nice.

I read The Road by Cormac McCarthy and it was pretty much the same but stuff happened in that book and I really enjoyed it. ATPH was not the same at all and though I say I’ll go back to it I really don’t see myself enjoying it anymore second time round.

So I’ve started on Neil Gaiman’s American Gods and so far I’m enjoying it much more, though it’s a bit surreal and I’m not entirely sure what it’s gonna be about. But that’s good!

Not a lot since he is apparently a bit shit at economics, or so he himself said. Which is a bit of a problem since the economy is pretty much the top issue in the election now.

What’s funny in this video is how it takes him about half a minute to say a ten second sentence because his brain can’t keep up with his mouth so he has to say “uh” after every word. Also plumping up an answer with lots of names doesn’t make it a better answer.

Oh and zero interest rates? Even I know that’s just stupid and I don’t really understand economics. Bet the Republicans are really wishing they could change their candidate now.

November 7 can’t come close enough so we can all just forget about this old retard. McCain is prolly thinking the same thing, only six more weeks and then I can go back to the nursing home…

Am I the only one that thinks that’s just scary?

Two months later and Bungie has finally been able to spill the beans. It looks like it’s gonna be some sort of Halo campaign add on featuring ODST’s from the game.

This kinda pisses me off though because if the game is gonna be set from the perspective of an ODST then it’s not really Halo 3 is it? I really hope it’s actually gonna be a game like Star Wars Republic Commando or Rainbow Six but set in the Halo universe.

The ad shows a girl staring just below the camera and she starts slowly smiling. The camera pans round and it turns out she doesn’t have a back to her head. Oh and there’s a band playing Rock Band in there.

Watch it for yourself and you’ll see.
