Reboot to Reboob

I’m tempted to join in the 2004 May 1st Reboot “competition” but seeing as I’ve just redesigned this place it doesn’t seem worthwhile. Also shutting down a blog for the month of April doesn’t do much good… Except drive away readers, regardless of whatever cause the web design community thinks the reboot is worth doing for… I dunno. If I hadn’t done this on Monday I would be tempted, but I’ll most likely pass.

Besides, the “Reboob” parody is still fresh in my mind…

Anyways, we have visitors well, ummmmm, visiting I guess, this week… And it finally hit home that this is well, ummmmm, my home… It all came from a conversation (of sorts) with the waiter at the restaurant we were eating at, it went something along the lines of:

Waiter: “Ahhh, you’re not from here, are you all visiting?”
Friend: “Ohhhh no, us two (points to her partner) are but these lot (points to us four) live here…”

Which got me thinking “shit yeah, I LIVE here…”, which is something I hadn’t really thought about, believe it or not. I figured I was just here, end of story but yeah I live here and now it seems really cool, well to me anyway. Especially when I’m MSN-ing people back home and they’re asking how I’m settling and how life is and all that stuff, well except last night when Scott pointed out From Autumn To Ashes are rolling into Glasgow at the end of February… That kind of pissed me off as it’s a band I’ve been wanting to see for ages, but I can say with a certain smugness that they’re playing The Tabernacle in Atlana a week or so before the Glasgow show, which pissed him off as much as his news pissed me off before I found out my news which pissed him off etc. etc. etc.

Now to stick it in even further I’ve got to get a ticket for the Atlanta show and figure out how to get to and from The Tabernacle… And produce photographic evidence to piss him off even more.

Much planning and plotting is required here…
