First of all, apologies for the lack of acitivity here on my blog. I have been busy in work recently, if that’s any excuse and have not felt in the mood to write over the past few evenings.
Anyways, to recap my last few week or so…
- Bucharest was nice. The city is pretty poverty-stricken in places but, as with most European capitals, there is a lot of fantastic architecture. Sadly, as predicted, I didn’t get any free time there and couln’t walk around the city as I like to do when I’m away on business. maybe next time.
- I’ve been hitting the gym quite hard over the past couple of weeks and have put on nearly half a stone! I’m guessing it’s muscle as I haven been working out more than I did in the past and am still playing football every week and eating healthily.
- I went on a massive cleaning sessions last night. I tidied the kitchen and living room until they were spotless! Once you’re in the mood you’ve got ot get it done!
In other news, Liverpool one again last night in a 3-1 victory against PSV Eindhoven of The Netherlands. The night was pretty well topped off with Steven Gerrard’s 100th goal for the club, Robbie Keane’s first and Rafa’s 250th in charge all coming on one night.
Anyways, apologies again for my lack of activity here, I hope to continue posting with the frequency I originally intended 
In the meantime, here’s some amusing quotes from Republican Vice-Predential candidate Sarah Palin in a recent interview with Katie Kouric:
Katie Couric: Why isn’t it better, Governor Palin, to spend $700 billion helping middle-class families struggling with health care, housing, gas, and groceries? Allow them to spend more and put more money into the economy? Instead of helping these big financial institutions that played a role in creating this mess?
Sarah Palin: That’s why I say, I like every American I’m speaking with we’re ill about this position that we have been put in where it is the tax payers looking to bailout. But ultimately, what the bailout does is help those who are concerned about the health care reform that is needed to help shore up the economy. Helping the – Oh, it’s got to be about job creation too. Shoring up our economy and putting it back on the right track. So health care reform and reducing taxes and reining in spending has got to accompany tax reductions and tax relief for Americas. And trade. We’ve got to see trade as opportunity, not as a competitive scary thing. But 1 in 5 jobs being created in the trade sector today. We’ve got to look at that as more opportunity. All those things under the umbrella of job creation. This bailout is a part of that.
Riiiiight…
Read the full interview here and be further baffled as to why Americans can even consider voting for her and John McCain.
‘Til next time.
