If you could get all your Simon Cowell facelift jokes out of your system right around now, it’d be just great, thanks :) Botox is also a muscle relaxant, which means that a rigorous stretching system of the muscles involved could yield greater motion in said muscles, which is why I got it. We left [...]
Apologies for the lack of proper post today- hectic day in Dublin, might write about it tomorrow. Just home from our debate, proposing that Rising unemployment at home is too high a price to pay for overseas aid, which we lost :( Here’s some music, while I head off to bed:
Woo, Bewleys’ hotels finally have actual working wifi in their hotel rooms. This is a big step forward. I wrote my emergency, last-minute debate speech during the car journey up. It was rather excellent actually. All my thoughts flowed coherently and I’ve discovered the awesomeness of WriteRoom, after I managed to get a free copy [...]
I’m a sucker for flow charts, I freely admit that :-P Also – it’s seriously true!
Since it’s the 9th of November, I decree it fair game to now play Christmas music! I even left Dad with 2 CDs of it in the car up to Dublin this morning. That kid has an insanely high voice – I mean… wow! Some of you might take issue with my mentioning Christmas all [...]

A camera that once belonged to Patrick battles for space among some opera CDs. Well, it did. The CDs no longer have to jostle for space in the cabinet, because the camera in question [...]
Today, my Dad was having minor surgery on his hand, which puts it out of action for a while. I decided to go along to the procedure, which was done with only local anesthetic. Partly because I’d never been at a surgery before where I wasn’t the patient and partly because, as I pointed out [...]
Here’s a new music recommendation for you. Pascal was in RENT and Civilian is his 3rd studio album, released in 2004. It appeals to all my musical senses because it has killer drums, smooth piano and powerful vocals. I think we all know though that only the first feature in that list is a necessity [...]
Today, the Young Scientist teacher took me out of Spanish to tell me that my Young Scientist project, which is entitled Examining the attitudes of secondary school students toward blogging, was accepted, and I’ll be presenting it at the RDS from Tuesday the 12th to Saturday the 16th. Of course, I’ll be blogging throughout the [...]
