A Sassenach Soliloquy: Life eh? I love it.
http://asassenachsoliloquy.blogspot.com/2005/03/life-eh-i-love-it.html
Tuesday, March 22. I'm just back from a couple of hours with new hobby: swing dancing. After a few beginners lessons, today I moved up to the improvers class, and discovered that. I can do this. I used to do salsa, but haven't had a lesson for years. I always found it tough though; the rewards were excellent, but I always found the lessons taxing. This evening was different; fun and relaxing, and both those things because it was - can I say this? Posted by Thom at 21:26. At 23 March 2005 at 14:51. Board ...

A Sassenach Soliloquy: Cheap thrills
http://asassenachsoliloquy.blogspot.com/2004/12/cheap-thrills.html
Sunday, December 26. Shopping for Christmas stuff a few days ago with T. we wandered around a few trendy stores in Covent Garden where t-shirts cost 30. Why so much? It's not hard to find a funky, equally well-made t-shirt in a charity or second-hand store, so why pay these silly prices? Because.", I guessed, ".fashion represents an easy way for people with no style to look good". But buying - how shall we say? The joy of finding a real gem of a piece buried among all the crap far outweights the guilty p...

A Sassenach Soliloquy: August 2004
http://asassenachsoliloquy.blogspot.com/2004_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 30. There's always someone in a faster car. Last autumn, shortly after I started this blog, I entered the Guardian’s Blog competition. I didn’t win (you’d have known about it if I did). Belle De Jour. She can write, no doubt, but no better than many of us. What she does have that is different, however, is a story, and a door into a world that fascinates many. And, presumably, a fine figure. You might be screaming one of several replies at the screen right now: But she’s a whore! So the blo...

A Sassenach Soliloquy: October 2004
http://asassenachsoliloquy.blogspot.com/2004_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 22. Clearly I am busy, since I have not blogged for about ten days now, and before that entry for a week. Life is very good; I am motivated and enjoying my studies. I'm playing lots of Ultimate and enjoying Edinburgh. In short, life is too busy to blog. So, enjoy your autumn, and I'll be back at Christmas time. Posted by Thom at 10:54. Sunday, October 10. The trials of flathunting: #6 in a series of six. Yep, that's right; I've moved into my new flat. Acceptable: Medium-sized room with on...

A Sassenach Soliloquy: "How will I blog this?"
http://asassenachsoliloquy.blogspot.com/2005/01/how-will-i-blog-this.html
Wednesday, January 5. How will I blog this? The break I took during last semester - and that I will take again this semester - has removed that sense of "How might I blog about this? From my day-to-day life. I'm not sure how I feel about this; on the one hand that half a mind on how you could describe an event often makes the event itself more, say, humourous, but equally it perhaps helps to remove oneself from the immediate reality of the event, which is something best avoided.

A Sassenach Soliloquy: Lifting my head from the page
http://asassenachsoliloquy.blogspot.com/2005/03/lifting-my-head-from-page_17.html
Thursday, March 17. Lifting my head from the page. Wow, where did that go? Semester is almost at an end. Those miserable months of January and February have never gone so fast. That'll be love, of course. Spending time with T. is great, but I fear we're turning into exactly the sort of couple I always despised - people who rarely go out and spend time with their friends. I must make more effort. Posted by Thom at 20:38. Formally An Englishman in Verona. I'm now a sassenach soliloquising in Scotland.

A Sassenach Soliloquy: September 2004
http://asassenachsoliloquy.blogspot.com/2004_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 27. The trials of flathunting: #5 in a series of envy. A fellow postgraduate student and now friend of mine found, the day before I arrived here, a gorgeous on George Square; that is, on the square where all of my study takes place, next to the Meadows where everybody plays frisbee and in the middle of town. I went to two house-parties over the weekend, and both were in stunning flats with giant rooms. I want my home. Posted by Thom at 11:57. Friday, September 24. Posted by Thom at 16:24.

A Sassenach Soliloquy: Career planning
http://asassenachsoliloquy.blogspot.com/2005/01/career-planning.html
Sunday, January 2. Yet I have no idea as yet. The course that should focus my mind The origins and subsequent evolution of language is run during this semester, so I’ll only be a few weeks into it by the time I have to have finished my applications. And our unassessed evolution of language seminars are also this semester. Does the deadline really need to be so soon? Idea in Science is there for the shooting; nothing is sacred. Probably not, and even if so, did you understand why they asked? Was on. I...
