Well it's about damn time I updated this!
So far I'm settling in quite well here in Guelph, Ontario as I have
begun PhD work at the University of
Guelph. Hopefully at the end of the month/beginning of next
month I can put up a final batch of photos as well as start a new page,
so keep tuned in. I can safely say that I miss both living in
Glasgow and all the incredible people I knew whilst there...hopefully
this spring I can come back to visit. Finally, I can be reached
either by email (kgies*@*uoguelph.ca) or MSN (glasgowgoose*@*hotmail.com)
Be sure to take out the "*" before sending! Cheers!

Well, yesterday I got back from my trip to
Istanbul and Prague; both awesome cities. My time in both was
definitely an experience to remember. I'll toss up some choice
photos from that probably around the beginning of next week...I have
lots of schoolwork to do and I'm coming down with a cold (damn).

Well, it's been quite awhile since I've
updated this site. It's Easter break over here (2 weeks! Woot!)
and I'm currently trying to get a ton of work done so I can relax when I
spend 4 days in Istanbul and 1 in Prague next week. Before then, I
hope to get at least a few new photo galleries up. I'll keep y'all
posted!

Okay, I forgot to change the settings on
the photos and the newer ones were inaccessible. That's been
fixed, so all photos should be viewable.

Alright, the Scotland/England
rugby photos (all 44 of em) are now up!
Since it's St. Pat's day, grab some Guinness and check em out!
Speaking of Guinness, that's what I'm up to today! Alright, so we
dropped a place in the league, but there's lots of football left;
considering how the top team is doing, I doubt we're gonna win the
league anyways.

Okaaaay! I gots some good photos to
show you guys, be sure to check em out in the
Photo Index. Since Yahoo! is being a bitch this evening, it'll
be later today or tomorrow when I get the last two galleries up,
including *44* photos from the
Scotland/England 6-Nations match! It'll probably be the last update for a week or so
because it's starting to be crunch-time with my studies, etc. So
when the update is done, don't check it all out at once....savour it
gradually! ;) Also, I'm noticing a lot of people I haven't
seen/heard from in a long time have been stopping by, so I'm definitely
flattered that they took the time to check in on me! Also, we lost
like a bunch of arseholes yesterday...I'll put up the updated league
table if it doesn't look too bad!

Working on "Gav's Rock Odyssey" photo
gallery. Also going to toss in gallery of the
Scotland/England 6-Nations rugby match and probably a gallery from a
castle I visited as well (don't know which one yet however). I
checked out
Linlithgow Palace today, which takes my castles visited total to 8.
As mentioned, here is our 5-a-side football league table.
Currently, we're 3rd.

Just a quick note. I'm going to hold off
until tomorrow (Monday) evening to put up new photos...I got some good
stuff in mind, but first I have to crank out a paper for my "Elizabeth
and Mary" class. Also, the "Buckfast Brigade" got back to winning
today...winning 11-10. We're now 2-1-0 on the season. I'll
put our league table up as soon as it's available.
24/02/04
Added "George Square" gallery to
Photo Index. With work load fairly
heavy in the coming month, I'll try to do an update a week, likely
Sunday evenings. I'll keep everyone posted. Currently trying
to find a new server to put this site on. Look for 2, maybe 3 new
galleries in next update. Oh yeah, our 5-a-side team lost
yesterday like a bunch of arseholes (by one goal)...now 1-1-0.
17/02/04
Added "Matchday 1" gallery to
Photo Index, with bonus video clip.
Also added related link to Links Index.
13/02/04
Added two new links to the
Links Index. Also added "Flight Home"
gallery to the Photo Index. If anyone
knows of a good *cheap* server that I can place this site on, with
registered domain name, please drop me a line.
10/02/04
Finally, I got this fully up and running.
I'll add the "Sharjeel," "George Square," and "Flight Home" galleries in
a day or so. For now, check out what I have up!
09/02/04
Well, after months of thinking about
considering possibly doing an update of this site, I finally had the
time and (more importantly) the motivation to get this going. I am
in the process of adding tons of photos, as well as links and info to
all things Scottish that I think all my fellow 'yanks' should check out.
Who knows? I'll probably make this an 'online journal' of sorts as well.
