are you Young and Restless? or perhaps Bold And Beautiful? are these the Days of (y)Our Lives?...

yes, those are in fact titles to the awful american soaps we ahve become engrossed in. the upside of starting work early is that we're home in time for Oprah and about 3 different soapies, as they like to call them here. they all feature attractive but stupid people and one of them even has its very own island, with mysterious creature and strange forcefield. sounds a bit like Lost... some thing else we enjoy watching (actually watching, not laughing in disbelief at, like the soapies) is Heroes. one of my (many)flatmates in glasgow has said its really quite a good show, and i agree. its got unlikely heroes, mysterious ppl trying to stop them and one of the guys from the first (and best) series of Ultimate Force.

asides from watching tv i like to spend my time here attending lectures about hyperbaric oxygen. the lecture, while mildy interesting, was too involved with diving medecine (yes, there is really such a thing) for my liking. but it def held my attention more than the nutrition one did last week. thinking back to the lecture, im actually quite skeptical about it, but ah well. im probably more ignorant that skeptical.

its been beautiful weather here lately, so beautiful in fact i ate my sandwiches outside yesterday at lunch time. was lovely and i was enjoying myself- i had to laugh a little when a local walked passed in his coat, scarf and wooly hat... and people have been complaining about the cold aswell. ah well, i suppose it is their winter, and their houses don't have central heating.

ok, time to go home for Oprah, yesterday she was making peoples dreams a reality. i wonder what sh'es up to today.
