Yarr! I finally got around to upgrading my blog to the latest version of Wordpress. As a result my site template went the way of the pear, so until I can be bothered to create a shiney new theme I’ll be using a pre-made one (”Yarr! Tis me blog”, found via the Wordpress Theme Browser). This also fits nicely in with Talk-Like-A-Pirate day on September 19th. Mark that down in your diaries, folks!

Since the last update there’s been a fair few things to report… Hesam made it safely back to Houston after his European excursion, following on from our great adventure at Dance Valley 2005 (note: my gallery theme has remained as the old one until I can get my arse in gear). The festival, apart from the weather and Hesam losing his camera, was great fun. That amazing laser display during Paul Van Dyk’s closing set, coupled with the top-notch fireworks display, is something I won’t soon forget.

Back in Brum things are trundling along nicely. The next batch of graduates had their interviews, so it won’t be long before i’m no longer on the bottom of the food chain! Yesterday a bunch of us from work all went paintballing which has resulted in a fair few bruises on assorted body parts, but it was still great fun. Today Hanne and I journied up to Sutton Coldfield to check out the housing potential and spend the afternoon lounging in the sun at Sutton park. We’ll be moving out of our current residence in October as it’s really just not big enough for two people, so we’ve got all the fun of moving to look forwards to… again! yay. Sutton park seems like a really nice place too and could be the answer to Oyster Creek near Hesam’s house in Houston. Speaking of Hesam: you check my website too much! I’ve only just this minute upgraded the theme, I haven’t even finished typing this entry and you’ve already left a comment about it!! ;-)).

Anyway, so that’s all the dirt for now. Tchau!

PS Random link du jour: here’s the story of a poor bloke who lived out a real-life version of Steven Spielberg’s movie The Terminal.
