Scottish Deep Thoughts

Today I set my aims of accomplishing things very low and did not achieve them...

I woke up just before noon. I decided to clean up my place, as it was a bit of a mess. I started to do laundry but my washing machine decided to stop doing it's job. I hate the UK-style washing machines. For those of you that are unfamiliar with this type of washer, they are front-loading. As soon as you turn it on, the door locks until the cycle is finished. That means you need to get everything in before you shut the door. If you accidentally drop a sock on your way to the washing machine, tough shit. If you put in a red sock in with your whites, tough shit. To top it all off, they are ALWAYS placed in the kitchen! Who does laundry in the kitchen?! Anyway, I went up the street to Mike's place and put a few loads in his washer. While I was waiting for the wash to finish, we solved the world's problems for another week.

John Wright, a fellow teacher, had me and a few other people over for drinks later in the evening. Good times. I sampled many amazing whiskies. I think I can almost consider myself a quasi-connoisseur now.
