Painkillers

Firstly, okay guys, the House jokes were funny at the start, but c’mon, give them a rest, will ya? Last night I had between 3.5 and 4.5 hours sleep. Knee pain, which is chronic at this stage, was worst it’d been in a long time, so sleep just wouldn’t come. I finally drifted off some [...]

For the sake of completeness

One of my birthday presents was a skin from GelaSkins, for my MacBook Air. I’ve integrated lover boy here into as many places as possible. My desktop: My iPhone wallpaper: And of course, the back of my laptop!

Music, win

Last Friday’s The Ticket (supplementary magazine all about the arts in The Irish Times) had a really cool article on the back cover about a competition Surfjan Stevens ran, where members of the public sent in self composed Christmas songs and Stevens gave a special secret prize to the winner. He eventually chose 33 year [...]

John

Although Mum says this about her sons: … are as I write ‘cycling around San Francisco’ (Eldest Mouse) or ‘interrailing around Europe’ (Middle Mouse)… I prefer to think of them as actual human beings, you know what I mean? :) John is currently touring Europe with two school friends, soon after which he’s leaving for [...]

..and we’re back!

So, now that my week long acting course is finished, myself and Den15, aka, my dad, got down to getting the internet all fixed up. That sounds so much more badass than it actually was. We basically just created a new network and fiddled around with some settings. Having said that, we have working internet [...]

Makeup for my show last night

Guest Blogging

I saw this term somewhere in my feed reader this morning but I can’t find where. It got me thinking about the subject. Guest posting, for non techie people, is basically where someone who isn’t the author of the blog writes a post. Say if I let my dad publish a few paragraphs on golfing [...]

Sustainability

I would just like record to show that Karma’s a bitch. A big, huge, of-gargantuan-size, ginormous bitch. On that note, the first one to mention “you never miss the water until the well goes dry” gets violently stabbed by yours truly. Out Internet is fubared. Currently lying on a couch (how wonderfully apt, think of [...]

Wanted

I was talking with Sinéad on Monday night, and we got talking about the new cane, of course. She asked if I’d spoken to Aislinn 2. I replied no, but I would. So this is kinda what this post is about! WANTED: Someone who talks with canes/walking sticks (think Dr. Dolittle with less fur). To [...]

An open letter to Meteor

Meteor are my mobile service provider, just like Vodafone, o2 or AT&T In some ways, they’re good, like offering free any network texts if you top up by 20 euro every 28 days. Since most of my calls are to Mom, Dad or John are “Hi, you on your way?”, which equal about 7 seconds [...]
