Tolerance, where arth thou?

This was found in a thread on a forum I joined a few years back, but I rarely post these days. The post was found in a thread asking what was wrong with today’s youth: It’s good to see unconditional love so strong. Speaking of unconditional love, do we think it exists? I mean, this [...]

Suggestions

Someone just suggested I do music reviews, because I’m forever listening to music (any time I’m on the computer, for instance) and ‘probably go through 10 albums a day’ Not only do I not go through anywhere near that amount of music, I know I could never review most of it here. Why? Well, the [...]

I am the midnight watchman

It’s 03:06. How are you? I’m downstairs in the kitchen. Mum’s iPod is charging. I put just shy of three hundred podcasts on it earlier. I’ve got my audiobooks and top 25 played songs, I’ll be grand. Decided to pull my first reall all-nighter, and of course, being me, I blog about it. I’m slower [...]

Laptop

Still reluctant to fix the underlying problem (anyone got 600€ in spare change?), I’ll just reseat the cable.

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 [...]

An open letter to Meteor

3.0

Nope, not iPhone 3.0. I can’t have that, because I’d need to switch to o2, and despite their godawful customer service, Meteor’s free-texts keep me with them. For now. 3.0 refers to Aislinn 3.0. I decided my cane needed a name, after those crutches I had when I was 3 They were fluorescent yellow, and [...]

Some folks… 2.0

Remember Ms. Busy Body from the train? Well, meet her cousin, Ms. Bitch-who-parks-in-disabled-spots-to-save-time Stopping in Portlaoise for lunch, we saw a woman pull into the disabled spot. 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 [...]
