Another reason it sucks being back in Scotland: every day since I’ve gotten home it has rained. Seattle on the other hand has enjoyed glorious sunshine.

We seem to be having something of a heat wave in Glasgow just now. Right now (at 6PM) it’s 70ºF (21ºC) which is unnaturally hot for Scotland. Yesterday and Monday were both the same and the forecast says it’s to continue until the weekend when, unsurprisingly, it’s due to rain.
At least we had a few [...]

This guy has the right idea. It’s some German guy who has developed a way of using cameras and spunky software to make 3D virtual graffiti. No spraycans, no messy walls, just graffiti in JPEG form. Brilliant. Now he just needs to bring it over to Glasgow and show the neds how to work it [...]

22 days after take off I’m back home again.
I arrived Tuesday afternoon after a very brief stint in London, my plane out of Philly was late and so my hour and a half layover turned into a twenty minute dash across Heathrow. I just made it luckily, my bags however are fatter and did not. [...]

Today in college we had a careers advisor come speak with us about applying to Universities. It’s weird cos I was going to talk to Mark, our course leader, about that exact thing.

I don’t know if it’s because of the smoking ban or if I just didn’t notice it before but there is an unbelievable amount of smokers in Glasgow. Walking form the train station to college you can’t make it without having to breathe in at least one mouthful of smoke. It’s incredibly annoying. I think [...]

We went out for dinner tonight with Dad and Lorene, and also Mandy and Emma. We went to an italian restaurant (again) called La Vita. I had a bacon cheeseburger and chips. It was pretty good even though my burger was lopsided. My dessert was delicious: a belgian waffle drizzled in caramel sauce with ice [...]

Well we went out for dinner to Bar Milano, it was very nice. I had Pate & toast to begin and then an Americana Pizza and then caramel shortcake and ice cream for dessert. After dinner we stopped by the Red Hurst for one drink. I had one at the restaurant (a screwdriver, for which [...]

Tomorrow night Mum, Ross, Linzi and I are going out to a nice meal because it is the last weekend we’ll all be together for about a year. It’s so weird, I mean Linzi moving to Thurso was weird cos I only see her like every 2 weeks but I didn’t see her that often [...]
