Nothing but time

Hiya,

Again, starting to fall behind on my posts, but I hope everyone was out enjoying their weekend, long weekend, and summer days and nights. I've not been feeling to hot as of late, and after a a crazy end to my time at the Herald, including four stories on my last afternoon, I decided it was time I took a little break from the Internet and my laptop.

I spent Saturday filming a segment for a Dutch travel show in the pouring rain, and crashed hard on Saturday evening after being out way too late on Friday at an art school rock n' roll house frat party, unreal by the way, and of course a nightmare few days at work. Saturday saw me watching one of the oldest teams in Scotland play with my CouchSurfer and Dennis, one of the most recognizable TV dudes from Holland, amongst a small crowd of 1,000, interviewing their #1 fan who has seen 513 matches in a row, and drinking beer and eating Scotch pies for the camera.

Sunday my pal Paul from Galway tripped back through town on his way home, and we shared a nice lunch at my favourite little wine bar. A full Scottish vegetarian breakfast is a great alternative to the sausage, haggis, blood pudding version as well just so you know.

As for the past few days? Running many miles, sleeping many hours, sifting through old photographs, listening to new tunes and reading an enormous amount of news. What else is new right? All the best to you and yours. With love from me to you.

Daniel Random findings and things shared from the past week:

i - Is Haggis really Engligh?

ii - The changing media landscape -Scotland keeping up.

iii - Alternative cultures, and the new mainstream porn. My friend and former colleague Lauren, probably the last Scottish girl you would expect to write about porn, says it all about porn people are paying for. She said her desire to write this article came from seeing a really bad spam internet pop-up. Nicely done.

iv - A nice spin around Glasgow, 36 hours. If you want a real tour, give me a call.

v - The Global City - Toronto

vi - From Toronto with Love - architecture

vii - Teenage 'puppet-master' gets life over school girl murder plot - I've followed this trial through Blatchford's words since day 1. Well said of today.
