womp wimble whee wizzle woo

whats going on now then lets see..

hmm, i'm running again - its going ok, i was 5th in the scottish u23 champs 100m, i made the final of the seniors but got cramp and had to pull up...booo!

times are still pretty slow though.

hmm what else,

just been working really, all has been fairly boring since the end of may.

may was a good wee month for me actually lots of fun stuff happening;

mandy and spaniards visiting,
prague and london, or was that april?
lotsa daft wee nights out

there was another club noir thing at the start of june, which was much less fun than the previous ones, any potential for shenanigans was stifled, though various circumstances.

yep, just running and work for me til the end of august boooo!!

i've got a few wee things on the go here and there, such as long weekends in lincoln to look forward to ,,,,,

that'll do,

smell ya.

evening turnips!

well heres a review of the stuff i said i was doing last time.

*club noir was the first thing.... it was a lot more fun than it should have been. could prove problematic, but i seriously doubt it.

i think i'll need to bring minders to the next one to stop me (or anyone else) being dumb. *sigh*

*next was prague, wooo!!!!!!

twas a fantastic wee weekend but it was also a messy one as was expected.

james, vairie and i arrived on thursday night, met laura "the jesson" at the airport and jumped the bus to meet kate and ben. met a french dood who we recognized from last year on the bus who told us some other peeps from last year would be at the masarykova pub that night. so... we met ben and kate at the wee pub with all the photos of boobs amd proceeded onwards to massy k* where we all got very pissed and chatted to some ;french, austrian, spanish and czech folk who were all very funky.

friday was spent lying around hungover, then we all went to lucerna that night.-absinthe #1 and smazn'y syr #1

saturday was spent lying around hungover then we went to le chateau l'enter rouge and onto roxy. absinthes #2+3

sunday was spent lying around hungover then we all went to the goat for a quiet evening of pivo ;) smazn'y syr #2

monday was just spent lying around in the sun and buying wee presents. got home late monday night,.

slept most of tuesday, then back to work on wednesdayand theeeeeee.e.e.e.enn.

*london

my lovely work had a tenth anniversary party down in london!!so we all flew down on thursday morning and went to this uber swanky do for our company and our clients in the soho hotel....there was a free bar, free funky canape things and a charicaturist going around drawing everyone!!

here's me

<-----

and then we went to this funky cuban restaurant that had live music and a dance floor!!! and we could order whatever we wanted, twas fantastic!! indeed heehee

well that'll do for today i'll stick some pictures up for a larf

2007-04-02T06:42:00.000-07:00

in work, waitin for a fellytone call at the moment, but here's whats coming up, in the next month or 2

saturday-april7th - club noir secret garden--- will be a good night out regardless but i have a minor moral dillemma brewing about who i bring, meh, not really :s

then i get the monday off work. HUZZAH!

then on the thursday i'm goin to PRAGUE!!!!!!!!!!!, wheeeeee!
all kinds of mayhem will ensue, brilliant. :D

then i return 11pm on the 16th (monday methinks)
have the tuesday of work :D woohoo!

then on thursday (19th) my work is taking us to london for the companys 10th anniversary party! just overnight so 'll be back on the friday night methinks.

then after that i'll have 2 weeks to get fit and ready for my first race since july, which will be the 5th of may.

ell oh

2007-02-07T05:45:00.000-08:00

howdy kids

i thought i'd best produce some bloggage for yall.

hmmm lets seeee:

all is going quite well actually at the moment- work seems to alternate between complete soul destroying boredom/unapreciated-ness and actually being pretty good fun. i.e last week sucked this ones going fine.

runing is going well too, i'm keeping up with all the boys on the track and the weights etc are going beastly (80kg cleans for 4 sets of 5 and 130kg squats for 5 of 5. ....grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr)

driving test is on the 19th (12 days away) ...

meh cant be bothered any more]

anyway got a big weekend planned , i'll maybe send a banter e-mail round after that hehe xx

:P:P

2007!!!

2007-01-09T05:15:00.000-08:00

yo doods happy new year to anyone who reads this!!

2006 was fairly successful! no major catastrophies- just a small handful of minor mess ups that make me cringe a little.-- but all in over all success!!! - prague- and my job- and drivings going well- running was ok- other stuff ;) hehe

hmm i had resolutions but they have already gone very slightly squiffy but the'll defo start next monday once i'm settled into work and stuff.

yeah well not much else to say really - the 31st of dec was gd partyin with james luke and jr!
umm the wee random band thing seems to be taking off, first "session" should be in the next couple weeks- at the moment ive got a cd of songs to learn- pretty basic stuff to start with though :D and runnings going pretty well too, the gimpy hamstring is recovering :D

haha new possible band name - the fenestration station hehe - nah just kidding

sha-wing

fllooobby gooobly goo!

2006-12-07T05:01:00.000-08:00

hehe hello!!!

all is going groovy in Iain Land these days, cept i pulled my hamstring the other day so running is out the window for a while, which is a shame cos it was going really well,

anyway!

on saturday te 2nd of dec- i attended a wonderful event called club noir, it ended up just me and my arch nemesis, because everyone else wimped out , but it ended up a lot of fun anyway!
the dress code was really cool, everyone was wearing top hats fedora hats, waistcoats, bow ties, corsets (even some of the guys) - it was essentially a burlesque show, but there was a live band playing and a dj in between- the dj was really good, lots of funky kinda swing choons, and other random stuff hehe! wow it was just kind of awesome really- i was rocking my kilt, with a black shirt and waistcoat , silver tie, my leather wristband things and black nail polish i had left over from the pirate party!!

here's the link

www.clubnoir.co.uk

man it was just good weird fun- the best kind. I even enjoyed the walk in the rain afterwards :p (not sure if thats such a good thing though :s )

on the monday night there was the annual architecture christmas celidh, which was also a fun affair, i wish i could've brought some of the prague doods to it haha! my pal luke was on fine form- he was the drunkest i've ever seen him, and he kept getting the school librarian up to dance, which was funny as...as a really funny thing. he later tried to steal the microphone off some guy, haha! after much swinging about a few of us went out to clubs afterwards however we all got split up cos of taxis and fowk not getting in, but anyway lots of good fun- i got home at 4am and got up to goto work at 7am, only slightly hungover ;)

also apparently me and a couple other doods seem to be starting a band!! its gonna be a "power trio"(i'll be playing bass and trying to scream in tune) and we're getting our first practise around the start of january! or so rumor has it anyway

suggestions for names would be good

so far i'm thinking- "douchebag theory" or "the short bus" - thanks to mandy for those ;)

ok- back to work i go ;)

sha-wing!!

hmmm,

my cunning plans to escape east kilbride at the end of august are still on track, but the bright lights of glasgow are seeming less like a haven :(

doh! it seems there is no escape.

however i passed my driving theory test so by february i'll hopefully be able to roll around in my own wee dodgem (finances permitting)

ok i'm away to draw up a budget plan thing, so i can get the auto and hopefully stash a couple grand away fro moving out and buying big locks for my doors ;)

(bosses arent in this morning so i'm having a wee skive just now)

peace out xx

been looking so long

so all is not so bad really.

hoo-rah!

willl write something more sensible some day i promise

autumnal jabberwocky

2006-10-19T05:22:00.000-07:00

me! dont ask about the wings, just thought they looked kl :p i saw dogma the other week

hola, ive not wrote on this wonderful contraption for a wee while, lets see

after paris-

hmm not much went on there for a couple weeks, had a few nights out here and there but mostly working and training- last weekend in september i was on some adventure weekend thing with the running peeps, i was abseiling, kayaking, and gorge walking and other random things like that. twas a gd ol larf.
hmmmmmmmmm and after that it's been back to the whole work, running, odd night out combo. all fairly dull.
theres been talk of trying to start a wee band up for a bit of fun, with one of the doods at work and his cousin, but we'll see about that one.it may just prove to be random banter.
runnings goin ok, my leg is holding up fairly well, but i 'm not as fit as i'd like :p
work is painful, i had one funky wee job to do which involved drawing wall details of a secret room that you access via a sliding bookcase, but other than that just millions of floor/reflected ceiling plans. uuurg.
going out- mostly the ex uni crew, couple nights out with willside, nowt really interesting,been talking to she who must not be named again which is ok, but a little weird every so often. must go and meet new people!! i'm moving out into town next august methinks so that'll make things interesting :D
oh yeah i'm back at the driving lessons, hopefully have the test passed and my own li'l machine by the end of february at the very very very latest...will need to start saving the funds :s

hmm yeah fairly standard dull-ass month :s wish i was back in praha tho :( it was such an easy wee life there

love Iain xx

2006-09-18T14:57:00.000-07:00

umm hey guys

lets see what mayhem has iain been causing of late,

i went to paris

what did you buy?

some crepes....:s

hehe also went to see pearl jam they were really damn good, the venue was ace and twas just a nice wee trip

was talking to a nice american girl from wisconsin on the way home, it never occurred to me to get an email address or anything, which was very silly of me, cos i lose out on a new friend and she was probably wondering why i didnt ask :S

this is one of many examples of silly things i've done in the past year or so. i wont go into them as it makes me sounds either; incredibly dumb or not a nice person. mostly both :(

i'd love to reedeem my many stupid moments...but for some reason i let the opperchancities escape. in fact most of my acts of stupidity are non-acts, in that by not doing something i in turn do something stupid

meh enough whining today

man i hope the yankees dont read this anymore - i think it'd freak them out a tad :s

howdy ho kids

the last week or so has been vaguely lame

not tooo much going on- uni stuffs finished so i've just been slaving away at work, i'm back training again which is good, however i fear that i'm falling into the same dull wee rut i was in before i decided to go to prague- this displeases me greatly-but theres some cool stuff coming up in the next few weeks ,so hopefully that'll sort me out .

i'm presuming this is some sort of post prague reverse culture shock- i had four months of living it up doing mostly whatever i wanted every day, if i got bored i could just go a walk and do some sightseeing or whatever, there was millions of interesting characters wandering about for me to talk to, trips to go on- anything!

but here my day is mostly-
up about 6:30am- goto work
get home about 6:45pm- got training
get home- have food, muck about then goto sleep

wash rinse and repeat until bored bitter and jaded

meh thats kindof a bleak post (sorry this is mostly what i use blogging for- ranting about things that dont really matter)

meh well back to work i guess

:D

CAUGHT!!!

2006-08-29T04:45:00.000-07:00

As penance for the heinous act of lurking on my blog and not leaving random comments i hereby sentance you to the maximum penalty possible.....

one press up

so drop down on the floor

i dont care if you're at work or an internet cafe/ library or whatever

now do that push up!

2006-08-28T05:26:00.000-07:00

sept 9th- leave for paris arrive about 1820 local time
sept 11th- rock out to some pearl jam!

sept 16th- see above
sept 17th - recovery from above
first weekend in october- lochgoilhead running trip- kayaking, absailing and other bit and bobs

the gaps will be filled with lots of training-and no drinking (especially after what curtis has been telling me i got up to on friday there :s)

be excellent to each other *plays air guitar*

:s

2006-08-27T11:33:00.000-07:00

had the wee night out for my 21st the other day- had quite a good turnout really, tho a lot of folk couldn't make it :(

ended up getting impeccably drunk :D

which at the time was quite fun but at the moment i am rather worried as i cant remember what i got up to :(

ocht weel, everyone has to be a drunken arse once in a while - tho i seem to do it more than most these days.

however am now done with uni so i now i can get back training properly and get myself sorted oot with driving and other bits and bobs, oh---and back to work on monday.. doh

catch yall on the other side of the dimension

2006-08-24T07:04:00.000-07:00

uh-oh

i'm in uni and i'm semi pissed

disaster

methinks not

but still not so great

oh and i got a kilt for my birthday! woo!!

2006-08-11T08:43:00.000-07:00

hey doods all is still reasonable in iainland, am currently sitting in work misusing my internet access. its friday afternoon- the boss is away and i dont really have anything that needs doing

hooray! however i have a wonderful weekend of uni work to look forward to. i guess this is the price i pay for my time in praha.

however the work is going fairly smoothly and shud be sorted in 2 weeks :s scary stuff indeed

at real work it looks like im going to be the official cad monkey for a chain of hairdressers known as toni and guy--it seems i'll be drawing up their floor plans and details for the duration of my year out.

and yeah well thats about it-- life is most dull just now :(
this night out on the 24th or 25th will be epic!! i cant wait to go cause some mayhem :D ;p

smell ya

;P

tonight, tonight

2006-08-05T18:43:00.000-07:00

hey kids

im just in from a lovely drunken glasgow flatwarming party.
twas quite good fun really luke and murray were there partying down. james was there too but was being rather quiet and left early without so much as a word? haha just kidding dood, was she who must not be named fed up staring out the window?..hmm i'll bet she reads this..if so say hi :)

anyhoo this evenings drunken ponderings have led me tooo conclude that something is missing.
i'm not sure what exactly.
could be a person, a pair of shoes, learning to drive , moving out, tidying my room...or anything but all i know is right now something isnt quite there.

but other than that no real complaints, works going fine. i got paid this week so i bought myself a pair of dr martens super bouncy air-wear boots, which i'm wearing right now ;)

still lots of work to be done for the 24th and the 18th but the wheels are in motion and things are getting done..

hmmm not much else to report really. just working-uni working -running and going out ooh and i learned the bassline for johnny b goode! its so easy but really fun to play :D

well peace out for now xxxxx

big prolonged hugs to u all

Iain

2006-07-26T11:41:00.000-07:00

2006-07-22T05:55:00.000-07:00

hey ho.

this week ive ben mostly working...boooooooooooo!!

had my first race in about 6 months last sunday, went ok considering i was training hungover for 4 months. i however managed to mess up my hamstring about half way through the race so i've been limping around everywhere ever since.
theres a video of the race here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lV0uxKNmsUE&eurl= (thanks to jamie coull)

im in lane 4 and if u listen very carefully you'll probably hear me swearing for the last 50m :D

was at a mad house party in kirkintilloch last night, which was fun..there was some nutter who no-one knew running around starting fights for a while- but he was quickly ejected from the premises ;)
other than that tho twas rather pleasant :D

smell yall l8r

suuuupppp.

2006-07-06T11:40:00.000-07:00

evenin chaps thats me back home in bonnie scotland.

since my last post not a great deal has transpired.

willl write more l8r i'm away to the pub

xxxx

ok i'm back

i went a wee trip to warsaw for a couple days it was a 10 hour train ride there and an 8 hour back. had a good time there, cruised around did the tourist bit, visited a wee jazz club, ate some funky food at milk bars. aafter i got back to prague i had no where to sleep for a night b4 we went home

Now im home, i had about a week to get myself together before i started my year in placement!
Over here we do 3 years at uni then a year out workin in an architects office, then another 2 years then another year working , then u can officially qualify as an arky-teck.

so i started work on monday there, its goin pretty well. it's just a small practise with only about 7 peeps including me, and another dood (curtis) i know from school.
ive been mostly getting used to cad again and working on lots of wee projects, which is pretty fun.

but i need to get up at 6am every morning to travel into glasgow which sucks. booooo!!

other than that im back at the running, i was so chuffed cos i actually had peeps to train with for a while, but since i started work im back to training myself since i cant get home in time to meet the guys.
im also pleased to have my bass back, i learned "minority" by green day on my first day back haha!

hope all you yankees are awesome. be sure to drunkenly jabber on to ur buddies about the alky brits.

heres some addresses and stuff- u guys better send me a random email or something or i'll tell everyone in scotland that K-state is full of yankee douchebags!!

u know i'll do it :p

we've had peeps like ben and mandy going home :( its very strange, theres hardly anyone around any more :(

on the up side i went to the opera on friday and we had a funny night out at futurum as well.

I'm going to wasraw for a couple days leaving tmrw night , so for a lot of you tonight and tmrw will be ur last chance to kiss me goodbye (or throw things at me as i leave)

feel free to take advantage of the situation ;)

ok i'm away to buy tickets and presents

peace out yall

2006-06-21T03:42:00.000-07:00

evening folks,

it seems i have developed a most cunning plan for the end of my prague excursion, it's looking something like this:

thursday night 22nd: bens night out (whether he likes it or not)

friday 23rd: ben leaves bout 5pm

saturday 24th: second LAST BIG SUPER MEGA AWESOME PRAGUE NIGHT OUT, WHICH EVERYONE READING THIS HAS TO ATTEND!!

Sunday the 25th: mandy leaves in the morinng and another big super mega awesome last prague night ensues

I'm gonna visit warsaw for a day or two to see my friand karyn who's studying over there. i'll be getting a night train, which'll be a bit goovy.

monday 26th: leave for poland at night

tuesday 27th: arrive in poland early am

wednesday 28th: head back in praha at night

tuesday 29th: back in praha in am!

wednesday 30th: flight back home to glasgow!!

the last few weeks have been most awesome
i've been barbequing,
swimmming in lakes
getting good marks (even for interior:D)
got a job for my year out.(starting the 10th of july:s)
running
cleaning 85kg (just out of curiosity)
been goin to museums and to all the other touristy bits i'd missed.
working on my t-shirt suntan
various other bits and bobs

sadly peeps are starting to go back home, which is a bummer.

so many new pals that i'm unlikely to see again.
although we've managed to bully a few into promising to come to glasgow! I might even go visit them in far flung areas of the world that they inhabit, such as; kansa and maybe even lincoln and exeter :s

i'm gonna do a few more posts before i go home. and i figure i'll keep doing them so u guys can hear what i'm up to back in Glasgow.

peace out for now yall

reet doods

im nearly done my 16 day work binge.
my studio and archicad classes are all done and i should have my interior project done in the early hours of this morning.

i've been skiving a little in the last couple days, since theres been a couple of visitors over.

James's flatmate Jen was here over the weekend. on friday we had a bbq for k8's birthday, which went pretty well even tho i ended up having to cook for everyone. but i didnt burn anything or give anyone food poisoning (that i know about) so i guess thats a pretty good effort

Varie's wee sister helen is over just now, we all went to see the omen remake the other day which was pretty good.

In other news-i think i've got myself a job for my year out placement working for tpt associates in glasgow, its just a small practise(5 peeps including me :S) but small ones are supposed to be the best ones for a year out because i'll be getting more responsibility rather than just being used as a CAD monkey.

I'm still training, as of wednesday i'll be moving onto speed endurance work, which will be combined with contrast weights and plyometrics, so ideally i'll be in some kind of form by mid August

hmm yeah that'll do it for now,

peace out ya'll

This weeks homework for ya'll

2006-06-08T02:31:00.000-07:00

peace out xxx

ebo

part one of the slog is done.

2006-06-06T13:44:00.000-07:00

hey doods.

thats me handed my studio stuff in !!
studio is pretty random for us here.
they only asked for 2 a1's and a model. we did'nt even have to talk about it. i guess its better as we're in a class full of czechs, so no-one would know what was going on.

im not too happy with the results i guess, its no where near developed enough for my liking, but my 2 a1's looked ok.

ive to re-present it all again in august so i can pimp it all up somewhat by then. swap a few room about, sort out the facades and structural stuff, and draw a couple more elevations..

was out last night with james and the greek and spanish doowds.apparently a group of "iron hoofs" were eyeing me up while i tried to do the macarena :S I think i may have to tone down the booty shaking :p

but ive now got a week to do my interior project which isnt going to be pleasant.

james's flatmate jen is coming to play this weekend, so i'll be getting a few wee nights off work, to go jigging :D

peace out chaps and chappettes ;)

currently listening to: the ataris -boys of summer

tag....

2006-06-02T09:10:00.000-07:00

My 5 Top Fives...i got tagged by mackenzie.
(yikes i didnt know u yankees looked at this :S i might have to edit it a little)

On my desk:
1. my laptop -keeps me amused and supplied with choons.
2. my calvin and hobbes book- reminds me of a simpler time but at the moment has an empty bowl and a layer of dust on top of it.
3. a half full can of "erektus" - tastes nasty and doesnt do what it says on the tin? but has some humour value.
4. tomatoe ketchup- foods not the same without it.
5. my 1 litre beer glass that I liberated from the little goat- sorry, but it had to be done.

In my closet:
1. my suave suit jacket thing i got from h and m.
2. a couple cool books-ones called kafka on the shore, its set in japan and has nothing to do with franz kafka but is a really nice story
3. my running leggings :D- haha great for getting funny looks and running in the snow.
4. my wee guitar that i bought here- its not as good as my bass back home but it'll do for now
5. my orange running shorts- u guys have probably never seen them, but these things are legendary back home.

the orange shorts :D

On the wall:
1. random drawing that i did of a curly tree
2. other random drawing of a strange guitar playing creature
3. my training program while over here. (has been edited many times due to; minor injuries, colds and hangovers)
4. a card my brothers made me.
5. curtains that i wore to the pm bar :D

curly tree

In my purse:
umm, i had to leave mine at home. is a wallet/ pockets ok??

1. usb key
2. my kim possible wallet that i got from mcdonalds (much better than my proper one)
3. keys??
4. metro pass
5. my minidisc player-a little bit retro these days but it does the job.

I miss at home:

1. my wee bros
2. my mum and dad
3. carpet!-there isnt any carpet anywhere here?!!
4. my room (my bed and my bass)
5. my homedawgs

why I love Prague:

1. meeting loads of random people, the randomer the better :D
1.5. the yankee bitches :p haha (just kidding. u guys suck!)
2. all the partying that goes on here
3. theres lots of different types of music going on everywhere; like on the streets or in jazz clubs or whatever
4. transport systems good i guess. never more than a half hour wait to get home, even at 4am.
5. everythings so cheap compared to home- i'll be a right cheapskate when i get back tho.

umm yeah thats it...hmm who can i tag?
i cant think of anyone else who does these.
umm i'll say that english dood ben that lives next door. but i dunno if he'll ever find out haha. :D

p.s heehee aww mackenzie i was only teasing but thanks anyway

i guess its back to studio work for me *trudges off bad to the cad mines*

peace out

love Iain xx

me having a rant.

2006-06-01T10:21:00.000-07:00

the last couple of months in prague have gone like this:

Iain: hmm it appears to be time to go running

the world: hmmm it appears to be time for a school sports day/ baseball match/ 2 feet of snow, at iains local running track

Iain: ok im going do design a curvy building for a change

the world: hmm lets make subtle suggestions to Iain so that his design is the most random and pointless building ever and that it'll also be impossible to draw!

Iain: im going to use archicad to model my stupid building

the world: hmm lets make archicad crash every time iain tries to look at it in 3D.

Iain: i know! im going to take an interior design class beacause it'll look good in my portfolio!

the world: lets make his interior design project harder work that his studio project, and lets make it a complete pain in the arse as well!!

Iain: man there sure are a lot of beautiful females around here.

the world: lets make them all fancy james!!

Iain: wow (insert name) looks monged, id better help them get home.

the world: lets make (insert name) spew on Iain!

that may be a little exaggerated but i think u all get the jist of it. and yeah some of those are my own stupid fault but im blaming them on the world for convenience right now.

aaaany way at the moment im trying to put together 2 a1's for the stoopidest building EVER! and thats gonna be about it til tuesday. then i've got a week of trying to figure out my stupd interior project. then two week of trying to cram in all the touristy stuff i want to do before i go home! AAAAARRRRGGGHH!!

listening to: ROXETTE haha! yeesss cheesy 80's power pop!

A pretty freaky week!

2006-05-28T07:24:00.000-07:00

before i start im currently listening to spongebob and patrick confront the wall of psychic wall of energy by the flaming lips!! awesome!!

so..

on the 22nd jr and willside came to visit us here in pragueland.
we took them to a jazz club where jr sat smoking see-gars, whilst listening to jazz flute :D then on to roxy!
on the 23rd we took them to the zoo! we saw penguins!!

.....and some other animals that werent quite as good like hippos and tigers and giraffes :D
on the 24th there was a pirate boat party that all us prague doods went to! everyone was dressed as pirates and we all partied hard on a boat as it cruised down the river.

jr was dressed as peter pan, which everyone loved, however he unfortunately was overcome by "seasickness", so i had to take him and mandy(who couldnt feel her face) home (but not before jr spewed on my pumas :s)

i missed a naked run across charles bridge because of this, however i managed to get back for the after party , which was in a strip club, i wasnt very impressed as most peeps had left to go home. so i did as well :D

the boys went home on the morning of the 26th but not before jr managed to unleash some information, haha. (glad its out really ,bit of a relief but i know someone else isnt too happy bout it)
on the night of the 26th brittish lauras pals came to visit so we all went out to lucerna, and the night ended with me getting spewed on again and a trip to hospital for laura :D twas a pretty scary business but it'll be good for a few laughs now we know shes ok.

so now im supposed to be starting my uni work frenzy. we've really been skiving over here :s so ive got 9 days to finish designing my church and draw it all up. then after that i've got a week to do my interior project :s

its gonna be a sore 16 days.

i had kinda been thinking it wouldve been better to stay at home in some ways (uni work/running wise) but, im starting to think that im gonna be a changed man after i get home. Ive met so many cool doods and i know i can deal with things myself now. thats gonna make a big difference and i hope all those nutters back home notice it. ;P
kinda looking forward to getting home and kicking ass in some job interviews.

peace out chaps and chappettes ;)

May 2006!!

2006-05-20T12:33:00.000-07:00

hey doods thats us just about up to date

so far may has been slightly tame

its mostly been spent trying to do all the work we've been suppose to have been doin, however a general lack of motivation seems to be sweeping the masarykova dorms. At home its a little easier because everyones doin the same work and theres a little bit of competition going on so you want to work so ur not left looking like a numpty, but in all my classes here im like one of 3 or 4 english speaking students in a czech class. which makes it hard to get interested.

also its getting near the end and im a bit miffed because i dont feel like ive made the most of my trip. theres a lot of things i shouldve seen and people i shouldve spoken to. now im stuck trying to catch up with work and not really even doing that very well.

hmm this is getting a little negative

on the good end

i got pearl jam tickets!!- me and willside are going to see them in paris in september.

we had our uk presentation the other day, it went really well and i think most people had a good night. we had haggis and did the gay gordons and wore our sexy curtains.
everyone wanted their picture taken with us :D dunno if i made the most of the dancing and sexy curtains but hey i had fun.

ok so thats us up to date; jr and willside come to visit on monday so i'll stick something up about that

but until then peace out ;)

current music : mighty mighty bosstones - royal oil

April 2006

2006-05-20T12:13:00.000-07:00

April went like this

- went to terezine- a nazi holding camp with mandy and james. it was really pretty horrendous, the bit that got me most was all the drawings people had done during their "stay". drawings always freak me out more than photos .

-went out a lot

- went to face to face with kate and the yankees- was a bit drunk im afraid :S i think i had fun tho, hope everyone else did.

-luke and murray came to visit and we embarked upon the binge :S, which im sure everyones heard about :p

i started my msn blog thing about now so i'll paste that in:

thursday: went to see a particulary groovy church with our studio class..needless to say it will be ripped off relentlessly by everyone. then mucked about a bit..no training cos of back..then went to the pm bar. it was the french and lennys (netherlands) presentations. i was getting up on stage and stuff to do quizzes and crowdsurfing. and after that i was just running around like a nutter :D

friday: did a wimpy wee gym session due to dodgy back and then went to meet luke and murray who came over to play for a while... thus was the beginnings of the imfamous binge. james luke and murray have been at it since about 6 o clock on friday and are apparently still going today(monday) :S
we took the doods for dinner, back to laura and kates for a pre party and out to lacerna.twas really awesome.they played friday im in love by the cure, which rawked.and cheese boy did his thang, which is now legendary.

saturday: walked about with luke and muzza saw the sights and stuff twas a really nice day so we sat on the grass talking mince for ages. and at night we all went to misch masch twas pretty fun but i left bout 3.30 cos i wasnt "involved"

sunday:umm i cant really remember, i dont think much really happened interesting-i was pretty fed up sunday--ooh me and american ben managed to steal a litre glass each:D
watched longest yard and went to bed...while all sorts of mince went on in the pub downstairs.

monday: i was well behaved i got up early did work, went to class then gym...my backs all better...met the doods and had a wee party.. we played roxanne.. and i won :) went to the pub

tuesday: the doods went home but we're going to go see em on thursday with the yankees :D

then i went to see luke and murray in berlin, which went like this:

twas a most awesome excursion.
we left on the thursday evening and had a 5 hour train journey with the yankees, who happened to be goin to berlin the same weekend.,we were in wee booths like in eurotrip but no weirdos sayin "me scuse" showed up.
we all ended up getting off the train a stop early (this was about 11pm) and had to wait a while for luke and murray to find us... yeah so shpiel shpiel...blah blah

on friday we went to see the reichtstag (spelt wrongly im sure) which invlolved a large queue, but it was well worth a wee wait as twas a bit groovy
umm. i think we saw some other bits and bobs too. but it was raining so i dont think we did much :S
we met cheeseboy (karl-yankee) l8r on and then we met up with most of the yanks and had some food, twas good stuff. I spent most of dinner staring into space- between james, murray and the yankees i couldnt get a word in haha.
then the scots doods and casper and cheeseboy(yankees that luke has renamed) went oot dancing, twas pretty cool. was a fnky undergoumd kinda place.

saturday-luke and murray went to a footy game. so me and james went to see the jewish museum by daniel liebskind. it was rather good.. u can tell because i took photos haha.
and at night we had a cool wee barbeque on luke and murrays balcony.

sunday-we just cruised around everywhere. then had some yankees over to luke and murrays for another bbq. then we took cheesy and casper to another dancin venue haha.which resulted in lots of funny stuff.
including;

cheesy losing his specs
me james and murray getting locked out at 6am
lukes flower pockets
6.30am kebab shop

monday we went home haha

after that the highlights were dying my hair red and mucking about on petrin hill.

:D

January 2006

2006-05-07T10:29:00.000-07:00

The first half of January involved working like an absolute freak to get everything done for the final review, which went just fine thanks for asking :D

the second half was mainly just a lot of nights out :D

there was the big brunswick hotel party, which was good fun, but apparently there was a lot of things going on that i wasnt aware of :s twas a funny night tho.

running also goin well , had first race of the season. a kelvin hall 60m effort

December 2005

2006-05-07T10:19:00.000-07:00

a little background for yall

-pieced together from blurty.com/users/ebo

december started as a frenzied attempt to catch up with all the work id missed cos i'd been off with the frog face disease (whatever that was)

on the 9th there was a christmas celidh that i went to, which didnt end well. but the pre party was fun :D

umm the 1st semester of 3rd year was a little lame, but meh tis done now i managed to catch up with my stuff.
Hmm there was a few wee random night outs: one monday night at the buff club springs to mind as being the randomest.

Christmas was awesome and the interim period between xmas and new year was mainly spent watching the crow and listening to the cure. :D

running was going pretty well this month if i remember rightly, recovering from being no weel.

2006-05-07T10:15:00.000-07:00

ok doods its currently may and im trying to reconstruct where my year has gone to.

ive got little bits of blog everywhere so im gonna reconstitute them in some way here.

2006 is a pretty big year i guess : im away on a socrates exchange to prague right now, after that i have to get a job for a year and im turning 21 in august.

yeah scary stuff.

ok so here we go
