Superbad

Just watched "superbad" with my lovely man and gotta say it made me think of home and my best mate Freddie aka Terrok Windgaenger. It's weird how much you miss people when you and they don't live in the same country anymore. Freddie and I went to Bochum Uni together in Germany and while we were there were the best mates. Noone could wish for a better friend than him. I truly am happy and blessed to have him. He is the kind of guy you can call at 3 in the morning if something is bothering you and who doesn't mind too much.
He is currently working on his PhD in Berlin which is a long way away from Glasgow, or so it seems. Effectively its just a two hour easyjet flight but hey, unless you actually hop on that plane it feels like light years.
Anyhow, enough of this sentimental rambling. If you read this mate I just want you to to know I love you Freddie Jagust.
Oh, and I blame the movie for this outburst. So there McLovin, you filled that pipe, now smoke it.

hello everybody

This is my first attempt at writing a blog, so welcome, and bear with me.

The weather out here in Glasgow has been nice and sunny for most of this week, which given the time of year, was unusual but made a welcome change from the "wettest winter of the millennium" theme.

This week as been an interesting one. I've been of work due to the school holidays and have started on a project for my fourth year class. After putting together a ppt on dystopias in an attempt to provide them with some background knowledge before letting them loose on Blade Runner, I have just finished watching it (again after about 10 years) and must say it is a good movie but not appropriate material for my class. A shame really.
I also watched Inland Empire earlier in the week and was fairly baffled and in parts annoyed with David Lynch. Mind you it was far more intriguing than Mulholland Drive.
