*Squee with happiness*

Look what arrived! I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket when I was in my drama class this morning. During my lunch I found a quiet spot and called back the number. “Hi, I have a delivery for a Mr. Tommy Collison, can you give me directions to your home?” I replied that while [...]

Florida – Shannon

I am impressed, UPS, very impressed. I paid an arm and a leg for shipping that promised it to me within 3-5 days of Friday. It’s not even 3 business days and I could very well have it today.

#IranElection

I’m going to honest with you. I don’t know everything about this. I know that some people think the election was rigged.

The theme of the party is “Pride of Place” and the ice-cream flavours will include some of our favourite Irish foods and drinks [...]

Whatever about me, Mum is pretty passionate about this subject too. We pull down the window and get her attention. ‘That’s a disabled spot, we have a sticker [...]

Hello World in glorious 2.8 definition!

Sitting in the kitchen, busily tap-tap-tapping away on my iPhone. “Tommy! How is this possible? Did you set up that post-via-email feature?” No, not that! I haz a WP 2.8! No more spending 10 minutes every time trying to log in to post something on-the-go, no more making the iPhone screen zoom in 50x to [...]
