Don’t think too deep

Preab san Ól, the song I talked about yesterday, tries to tell us to spend all our money on drink because ‘we can’t take it to the grave’. While we perhaps shouldn’t go that far, I think it has a point. Actually it doesn’t, but it’s not a bad sentiment. The truth is, people are [...]

Lisbon

I was asked in the comments of my previous post about my thoughts on the Lisbon Treaty. That’s two guys putting up No posters on a flyover near to my house. Just two guys in a Ford Transit park on a bridge, hop out and affix the posters either side of the bridge and drive [...]

It was a veryyyy good week..

what the post title’s alluding to My first full week back at school has been rather good. Like I’ve said, I miss waking up at 12:30 (got up at 08:30, shock horror) but perhaps that’s for the best. I’m back at school, where our work is being geared toward the Big Scary Thing In June [...]

Growing Up

Yes I’ve defaced the cheque til it’s unrecognizable. But, you can still make out it’s a cheque! From the ‘Times. This is going straight into Saturday’s let’s-go-to-the-zoo fund :) Maybe I could bribe the weather not to suck!

Giving up

So, as my 8th month of not eating chocolate draws to a close, my mind is drawn to next year. I really don’t know whether I’ll go back on chocolate in 2010. I definitely don’t see myself counting down the seconds until January 1st and then cramming as much Cadbury’s into my mouth as possible. [...]

Thankful

I’m thankful for something today. Something big. My Sunday Times piece reminded me that I still have no idea what I want to do once I wrap up secondary school and college. Yes, I do have some vague notions, but nothing concrete. So, what exactly are you thankful for? Like every kid (don’t deny it, [...]

The appeal of being a lawyer

Photo owned by Apreche (cc) I’ll admit, I love to argue. So when the doctor last week in Minnesota asked me what I wanted to do when I grew up, maybe I should have known, and maybe the answer should have been lawyer. How cool would it be to have a job that required you [...]

The news that is good

Just out of a meeting with the doctor who operated on me in 2004, and also the doctor who would have operated on in 2010. Best possible news: what’s causing my knee pain isn’t going to be able to stick around after I’m fully grown. Quite relieved it’s not longterm :D
