Best part of Amadeus right here

So what if I’m harping on. I go through stages. I used to constantly be on about pancakes and I haven’t had them in a month*. Anyway, Amadeus is an awesome movie that I even did a review of last Sunday. Here’s the best part of the movie.. Antonio Salieri is a composer who lived [...]

Next Debate

Our second debate is coming up on Wednesday. You might have seen me tweeting about it last week. Just in case you’re wondering, the motion is “College Fees should be reintroduced” and we’re opposing it. Thoughts on the motion? Like the last one, I’d say we’ve got the slightly easier side of things but the [...]

Happiness

I sent out a tweet earlier: OK, it’s official. I have never been happier in my entire life than I’ve been this week. It’s true. I don’t know why. It’s one of those unexplainable things. Maybe it was realizing days are only as bad as your perception makes them, maybe it was realizing that there [...]

Aw, poor dear

You can only shake your head and say, “Well, at least I don’t know them…” Echoes of Miss South Carolina 2007, anyone?

What’s great about this theme

My red and black theme (affectionately known as the “Cork theme” by some), which I’ve been using since Monday, has been a success in more ways then you can see. What you don’t see (unless you’re someone hacking my account) is the form where I enter my posts, which looks like this~. This doesn’t look [...]

Picture of the Day

OK, OK, I know, I know. I said in the last one that I doubted I’d make this a regular occurrence, but this one just begged for it! Who knows, I doubt I’ll make this an actual daily thing, but maybe I’ll have one once a week…

Hats 2.0

You might have seen the “Hats” post last week. Well, I’ve been playing with it since then, with different locations and situations. There was one that was modeled on this Indiana Jones one and I also played with optical illusions… Anyone reminded (not at all in a bad way) of Boss Hogg from the Dukes [...]

Morning excursion

To begin, let me first tell you that I usually get up at around 7:10, which gives me 15ish minutes checking twitter/feeds/blog comments before getting up and throwing a shape on the day. This morning, John* and I tried something different. According to Google Maps, we live 4.3 KMs away from the University of Limerick’s [...]

Monday Project

So, one of my main memories of the dentist in Nenagh that I went to this afternoon is the huge LEGO® set that they have set up. It’s been 3 years since I’ve been to this dentist, (which, I stress, is not the same as 3 years since being to a dentist) so at first [...]

New New Theme!

Right. As Lexia says; Red and Black rock. Welcome to Trust Tommy’s new new theme.* Some glitches to be ironed out. Specifically.. *Pictures. The photos in the Amadeus review are ugly. In future, one should go on the right to balance it out. * Twitter widget needs to be changed to red. * Make sure [...]
