Ag Aisteoireacht

I’m excited! :D I want 1pm on Saturday to be now, dang it! Not only will I be starting my 2 week Easter holidays, which rock in themselves, but the specific time refers to when I’ll be starting my weekly class with CentreStage. If you didn’t read about it over the weekend, we’re putting on [...]

Bored in school

Another day, another TT post. Not much has changed. So, today was pretty unusual because I had 4 free classes in total. Add that to my epic tiredness this morning and you have one tired Tommy. I think it was the caffine I had late last night. Told you it was evil. I never had [...]

Dvorak

Ugh, this post is going to take ages to do because I switched to Dvorak, which is a new keyboard layout. For my non-techy followers, dvorak switches around the keys of your keyboard to a new layout. If you’re like all other people I’ve talked to, you’re probably wondering why anyone would want/bother to do [...]

Busy

Oh wow – it’s almost 8pm and I haven’t done a post yet. The horror. What have I been up to? I’ve been busy! This morning, Patrick went back to Zurich, waking me up at an ungodly hour while he was showering. Honestly, who wakes up at 08:30 on a Saturday? :( Then it was [...]

Basically – people have been saying that they’re uncomfortable with every street being photographed. What if X went into an [...]

Hats

Those who were at the Irish Blog Awards 2009 or those who saw the Blog Awards photos would have noticed that I had a sexy hat. It wasn’t actually mine. Darren Byrne loaned me it and I never really got around to returning it. He eventually did steal it back next morning though. Well, recently, [...]

Letter

Just sent off a letter to the editors of the Irish Times and the Irish Independent in regard to the whole Eircom scandal and #picturegate. Don’t know if it’ll be published in either paper but hey, you can read it here and at least I know the editor of this blog well and I know [...]

RTE screws up

First the David Ervine thing in January ’07 and now all this with Brian Cowen nude in the gallery. People are tweeting all about it by using the (hilarious) hashtag #picturegate

Quirks

Qwerks. I haz many Remember back with 7 things, I mentioned how I’m organized? This is true, mostly. I mean, I always have the right books for class and all, but there is one section of my life that’s never really clean, tidy and organized My bedroom. I’m one of those people who feels that [...]

Blogging Presentation

So, today was a big day. I gave a 20 minute presentation to my class about blogging, what it is, and why we should do it I had a big fight with PowerPoint, because I wanted to use Keynote so I could have my Apple Remote to change through slides. I managed to get Keynote [...]
