foolfillment: the blog

Presumably you’ve all seen this story by now, but if you haven’t The Pentagon is to start taking bets on future acts of terrorism. Surely this is just going to be exploited by the terrorists. Imagine the odds you’d get on, say, an unknown gang from Shettleston bombing somewhere completely unexpected like the Sydney Opera House. Imagine a boy in a white shell tracksuit placing a huge bet just half an hour before it happenned. They’d have made enough money to cover the cost of the act and made enough to cover the cost of the next bet. They could bankrupt the US in a day!

I pretty much wasted my summer this year, after leaving Aberfeldy I came home and haven’t got a job or really done anything except go away camping one weekend but it all going to kick off soon. With the realisation that I don’t in fact have resits I can now go to my brothers stag night after all, the same weekend that my flatmate for next year gets the keys for the flat. Soon after that I’m going on holiday with Morven to Spain, I booked the flights yesterday and I’m pretty exited about it. The basic plan is a couple of days in each of Barcelona then Valencia then Cuenca then Madrid, but I don’t really know what would be best to go to to make the most of the time we have in each place. Obviously trips to the Nou Camp and the Bernabau are top of the list but apart from that any ideas?

trends among bloggers come and go as quickly as cabinet scapegoats and the current one that is doing the rounds since I’ve been away is shutting up shop. Since we went to start work at the crown (don’t go there its a dive - we only lasted two days, more of that later) not.so.soft had been in hiding for a couple of weeks and when I went to catch up with everything the other day for the first time since our quick holiday in Aberfeldy I find out that little red boat had sunk, pickle had moved his jar elsewhere and graybo seems to have disappeared of the face of the earth. It was even happening outwith the authors real control in d4d’s case

Is nothing safe in this world I thought as I had one last look at not so soft to find that meg was back, kind of, at meish.org. just as well too.

So what do I do? maybe it’s time stuart’s weblog had a proper name and a new domain? Nah, that would just be following another trend like having a wishlist or geoURL or blogrolling audi olympics or something and I wouldn’t want to do that now would I?

Like the big spacker I am I managed to lose my phone on Friday. It must have fallen out of my pocket while I was chasing after my dog to pull him off some other innocent mutt before he completely mutilated the poor thing. I didn’t realise till I got home and when I went back it was nowhere in sight and my guess is some keniving little get took it and put his sim card in it. Anyway the result is I’m getting myself one of these fancy little things. I’m off to give blood now though and so too will the little twunt^{TM Scaryduck} who has my phone, if all goes to plan, after he was fooled by the reminder I had set myself!

give or take a month or so. I probably won’t be updating this untill I restart uni at the end of September. See you then.
