Ode to the Blogger-ing greats

So, we had Irish today, and what we had to do was take an English sentence and translate it into Irish. The two sentences in question were “I live in Cork” and “We live in Dublin” Now, I don’t live in Cork and we don’t live in Dublin. I did, however, know someone who did [...]

On the subject of pancakes…

I was told by Olivia that I should make one of those cooking videos on making stuff, to show the masses how to make them. She told me my macbook would be fine for recording it. Where’d I upload it? Youtube don’t allow vids over 10 minutes (which I’d imagine would be too short to [...]

Om Nom Nom

Could I honestly call it anything else? So, since I’m pressed-for-time in the weekday mornings, I only have cereal, and so I like having something big and extravagant -and, inevitably- unhealthy. I usually end up having either pancakes or a fry up. Since I hadn’t had pancakes for quite a long time, I decided to [...]

Stab City: Justified?

So, last Tuesday was the first meeting of the debating society in our school, and we were asked to write a small piece on a motion of our choice before the next class. Now, you know me, I’m not the person to leave it until the last possible minute to do the speech, no way. [...]

Shameless Plug #1

Settling In

On Tuesday, I’ll have been in secondary school exactly 6 weeks. The daily routine of getting up at 7, showering, getting dressed, having breakfast and getting out the door by 8:25 has now become second nature to me. I now feel jealous at those who speak of getting up at five to eight, although back [...]

Ha Ha. Not.

Reading someone’s blog with Google Ads (although it wasn’t a blog or post about it) and saw an ad for this I should be laughing. I’m not. I’m trying to figure it out exactly. Is it a hoax? Trying to get people’s money. At 79$ it’s an expensive mistake. It could be a placebo, where [...]

Top 10 songs

I did a post about this back in late May, and thought that since they’ve {my rankings} changed so much, I’d re-do them. Due to space and time restraints, I’ll do 5 now, and 5 in a later post. 1. Snow (Hey Oh) Red Hot Chili Peppers By far and away RHCP’s best song. From [...]

Epic LOL and mobile phones

John McCain parody video ______ . As evidenced in this New Yorker cartoon. ( for the visually impaired among us, text reads “SWM , 40s seeks SWF to share companionship. Must have rescue helicopter and bottled water – only serious apply”)
