I’m back…

Ish.

As you may (or may not) have noticed, I’ve managed to fix the blog. Which took about 30 minutes, thanks to a completely useless error message and a borked WordPress upgrade. I still don’t know what was wrong, but I’ll leave that for another day.

Bah.

Anyway, seeing as I now have a bit more (read ’some’) free time that I can devote to blogging, expect to see a few more updates from me in the near future. But not today, as I’ve got to get my shit together for a gig in Glasgow tomorrow, followed by a weekend of heavy drinking and even heavier socialising. Well, someone’s got to do it!

A short episode that I’d like to make mention of, though. Last week I went to see Ariane Sherine give a talk about the Atheist Bus campaign and her new book, The Atheist’s Guide to Christmas, hosted by the Humanist Society of The University of Edinburgh.

It was amusing, insightful, and well worth the £1 attendance fee. It was also highly notable for the fact that I unexpectedly (and happilly) met with an old friend that I’ve not seen for nigh on 13 years. This was of course followed by a visit to a local pub for some more catching up, and the inevitable Facebook friendification.

Sherine also signed copies of her new book, one of which I bought with rather amusing consequences: when asked to make it out to “null”, she misheard me and thought I said “Noel”, which is suspiciously close to “Noël”… :-)

Hahaha! Joyeux Noël indeed!

Hope to see some more of you around the ’sphere, if not in the pub!
