Articles to share

Happy Wednesday. A few things I found over lunch today are linked below.

Still waiting for summer to arrive in Glasgow. Funny, July is almost over, and there has been almost no sun to speak of. Only seven more busy days at work. I've become a regualar columnist now which is cool. Busy, busy, raining. The rain patters down against my window tonight as I tuck myself in for bed. Endless rain like this morning, like last night, like the night before, and the 10 days before that. Rain like Forest Gump describes rain. All kinds of rain. However, all kinds of rain-soaked adventures to come.

The next week or so is pretty scripted, and apart from work, will see me engaged and alive in a number of things, including - two Parisian pals over for the weekend, filming a small role for another independent movie, touring the city, hiking Loch Lomond, taking in a local football match and spending a night on the town with a CouchSurfer for a Dutch television programme. Spoke to the director from Amsterdam this morning. Sounds fun, lots of life to share. So stay tuned.

All the best. Goodnight.

i - Side project of a sideproject. 21st century rock band. This.Band.Rocks. Well, anything with Nashville's Jack White rocks. The Dead Weather are the band of the summer. P.s., female vocalists are all the rage, as they should be.

ii - A wine lover is a special breed. You only learn from sipping and sharing - the good and the bad bottles. Every bottle tells a story, every bottle yields experience and adds to your catalogue of tasting notes. Drink up, in moderation of course.

ii - I'm a dog man, and really can't stand cats. Sorry Lindsay. Anyways, I felt it important to tell the story of these poor wee felines.

iv - What having swine flu is like. Not very nice; a journalist's descriptive account.

So here is a random thought- wouldn't it be amusing if you became an actor over there? as in suddenly you started getting more and more work based on the little stuff you are doing? I can see it actually, you are totally the type to one day be sipping coffee on a stage with James Lipton and speaking softly of your grand plan to be a journalist until you 'fell' into acting.
Like I said- random. and amusing.

thanks for the articles!

You sure received lots of comments on the poor wee felines article. I'm in agreement with you, dogs are the best! I am glad you told this story! I hope your week is going well and I am sure your last few days will be great with the Herald. I am sure you will be an awesome editor at the MRC paper when you return!! Keep writing!
