My Birthday (17/1/04):

My 24th birthday fell on a saturday this year.  Overall, it was a pretty good day and evening.  A postgrad history conference was scheduled on that day and since a) I didn't have a paper (nor would I have one ready anyways) for the conference and b) I didn't want to spend my birthday listening to speeches, I decided to spent much of the day napping.  That evening I met up with some of my fellow history nerds at Blackfriars pub, which is about four blocks south of my flat in the Merchant City section of Glasgow.  After about an hour there, we got kicked out, as the table that we were sitting at was being taken out so a band could setup to play.  From there we went on to The Thirteenth Note, which is further south to eat.  Add a few more visits to a club or two and that was basically the night.  Overall, a pretty good evening..not as good as last year, but I doubt much will top that.

	Hilary, Paula, and Angela.  Paula would leave us to take part in an amateur pole-dancing competition....I kid you not.		Hils and Angela amazed by Tommy's ability to belch Atomic Kitten hits.

	The man, the myth, the legend; Tommy.		Me realizing that I have not one, but two pints of beer in front of me....or did I impress everyone with my Barney Gumbel impersonation?  I can't remember.
	Hilary Young: International Superstar.		Those wacky Brits and their Heinz-inspired potato crisps!  I know that there are ketchup-flavored chips in the states, but not corporate-sponsored like these!
