try glasgow more

I'm sure there are other things

new in melbourne: my sister has stayed home from school today to finish a 5000 word story for her english class, which has to be written in the style of a mills & boon novel. the class is supposed to be demonstrating writing clichés that should normally be avoided and yet it's the longest essay (x 5) they've ever been assigned. i think the teacher has plagiarism in her sights, otherwise it doesn't make sense. my only memory of this teacher is that she was allergic to solvents and would run out of the classroom whenever anyone brandished a wite-out.

I am going to spain, on thurs, with cathy, until mon, to help(?) her look for a flat (she is going there, to live, for ten months, as part of her course, and we were there, already, at the end of july or so, to see what it was like, and it was nice)

then I am going to apply for some jobs

I wrote a bit of a C.V., today

i'm going to mount baw baw with my dad on the weekend. glasgow taught me to find humour in the name of the place.

OK, a furtehr £25.

where are you off to, PJ? barcelona?

thanks, about the poster. I will put tim H on the next ten

I am going to San Sebastian. Well, near there. Renteria. My mother-in-law's. If we take a shine to it, we may stay.

Ez.

I need a job since my redundancy is getting ever more imminent. Does one need experience for this sort of thing? Or even some sort of clue as to what is going on in Glasgow these days? I am a failed student journalist, so am obviously well equipped to write about shit that goes on in Glasgow pubs.

Today, I saw Dahlin's name in a byline in the Metro. I tried, and failed, to impress my kiddies at work by going "that's a friend of mine". Philistines. If I wasn't me, and I knew a top ace reporting journo type, I'd be impressed. Maybe.

i take it you guys heard about the sickening (and baffling) attack on Gibson street on monday morning. If any of you live round that area, be careful.

I think they're normall USB or ethernet, how they connect to the computer

pah. fuck 'em. top ace sub-editing journo types pwn them.

see youse tomorrow, probably about 8pm-ish.

I now have the same sort of job I had before, but with more money and less chance of getting made redundant (hopefully!). Start soon as I get out of my old job. I shall be in pub once I've come home, had my tea and recovered from teh hangover of death brought on by hearing about new job and toasting Kenny Miller.

irritatingly, there's now a 50% chance i won't be able to make it tonight (tedious, not worth explaining here). i should know for sure later today. assuming i don't, i would suggest the usual replacement of dragging some bearded, ranting tramp off the street and sticking him in my place.

like i say: i should know for sure later on.
