Hi everybody. Hope this finds you all well. With the first week of the semester just drawing to a close, and all the distraction that comes with it, I haven't had much of a chance to be on here blogging. A lot has happened recently. I'm sure you'll be filled in before long.

I'm pleased to let you know that Dani's doing really well in Germany. I know I'd like to be spending the day before my 21st at the legendary Oktoberfest. She's been teaching away and (from what I can tell) loving it. We're currently 12.5 days away from her first stint home, and I honestly can't wait. It'll hopefully incorporate many good times seeing friends, and will be capped off with our forth time on the rave with Enter Shikari. London Rachel and her sisters are coming over for it, and we've all been looking forward to that for a long time. I think the last time I saw them was Summer last year, when we saw loads of animals, got our faces blown off on brighton pier and got dazzled by Beth's superior magic skills. Good times indeed.

This weekend I find myself in Omagh, Co. Tyrone. I'm sitting with Dingo and Spike (the biggest dog in the world) in AJ's living room. We're here for Hussy's birthday weekend, which incorporates what will probably be an eventful and hilarious fancy dress night out tomorrow. Have you ever seen two 18 stone men dressed as 'fat fairies', complete with stockings and wigs, and elaborate cigarette holders? Pictures to follow...

It's actually really cool to be down here, especially this particular weekend. There's a big buzz about the place, as last week Tyrone lifted the all Ireland GAA Championship. The locals are apparently quite pleased to have Sam McGuire back in the county, as everywhere you go there's red and white flags. There were even attempts to do kerbstones. Dingo (raised in Belfast) couldn't understand where the blue was.

Gotta cut this short. Steak calling.

Live the dream, bring the awesome.
