Big news for all you fans of lost... I hear the big guest star for next season will be...

( drum rollCollapse )

So the summer seems to be sailing away into the midnight sun. Its been quite the summer eh? Lazy days at the beach have been fun, look forward to that next summer.

Big update though.. I have a social security card!!!!!

Hopefully its a nice weekend. Got so much lined up.. Friday is the brit-expat meetup, I also get to go get my state ID, now I have the social card. Saturday will be the pain that is watching Newcastle Utd. Then we're off to celtic fest (please please pretty please let there be haggis & irn bru there!!!). Saturday night its Lindsay's huskers at a huskers bar. Sunday is Lindsay's big day with the marathon, so I will be down there cheering her on.

We watched U2's PopMart DVD this evening, I was in a U2 mood for the first time in a long while. Looking at @U2, it seems like the album isn't going to be out this year? Can't say I'm gutted, my excitement levels for new U2 isn't all that high. If they don't release something that is actually something new & exciting and not a rehash of a sound they have done before, I believe they will be finished as a contemporary band (if there not already!) they will join the Rolling Stones as being a big money making tour band where everybody goes to hear the hits only. Its highly unlikely I will be seeing them on the next tour, my life is in a different place now. Paying anything over $50-75 for a concert ticket is not on the agenda. Priorities next year will be visits back home to the UK & Nebraska.

Dinner with the rents!!!
A girl asks her boyfriend to come over Friday night and have dinner with
her parents.
Since this is such a big event, the girl announces to her boyfriend that
after dinner,
she would like to go out and make love
for the first time.

Well, the boy is ecstatic, but he has never had sex before,
so he takes a trip to the pharmacist to get
some condoms. He tells the pharmacist it's his first time and
the pharmacist helps the boy for about an hour.
He tells the boy everything there is to know about condoms and sex.

At the register, the pharmacist asks the boy how many
condoms he'd like to buy, a 3-pack, 10-pack, or family
pack. The boy insists on the family pack because he
thinks he will be rather busy, it being his first time and all.

That night, the boy shows up at the girl's parents
house and meets his girlfriend at the door. "Oh, I'm
so excited for you to meet my parents, come on in!"

The boy goes inside and is taken to the dinner table
where the girl's parents are seated. The boy quickly
offers to say grace and bows his head.

A minute passes, and the boy is still deep in prayer,
with his head down.

10 minutes pass, and still no movement from the boy.

Finally, after 20 minutes with his head down, the
girlfriend leans over and whispers to the
boyfriend, "I had no idea you were this religious."

Great to finally see an X FIles 2 trailer! Even better to see Billy Connolly in it! In true billy fashion.. get fucking into them!! He'll kick all the aliens to death without the need for the fbi..

How awesome is that?

The whole Kevin Keegan thing is just ....ing crazy eh? Brings back so many emotions from 11 years ago.. its hard to believe its that long ago.

I can't wait to be back home and feel the atmosphere. Will he make much of a difference? I know he will, whether he will actually win something? I have my doubts but it would be fairytale stuff if he does.

Weather hasnt improved much here. Ok well that's my 2 Euros up...
