Photographs

As I’m gearing up for the Junior Cert, I recently cleared off my desk in preparation for increased amounts of study and homework. I realized that the wall facing me was blank, and it might be a neat idea to fill it with memories (as clichéd as that sounds) The photo above is the end [...]

Surgery

Over midterm, I spend a couple of days with friends and we talked a bit about the surgery. We’d Skyped each other while I was in hospital and she commented that I looked quite down and sick. It got me thinking about the whole hospital experience. The surgery that I had in America last September [...]

America in pictures

If you want to keep up with daily goings-on with the Collison City Mice (as opposed to the Country Mice we are in Ireland), I’m continually updating an album here. That’s the latest shot in the group. A lot of the skyscrapers here are covered with super reflective glass that leads to cool shots like [...]

Shortcut!

A picture tells a thousand words, so I’m going to take a shortcut here and blog some photos of the trip so far. Not much of note has happened – we arrived about 7pm Minnesota time (1am for you folks) on Saturday evening into our hotel room, ate at the hotel restaurant and went to bed [...]

Paging Doctor Normality

Phew, and just like that, RENT is over. What’s really been a whirlwind 4 weeks have come to end with a gargantuan-sized jolt. We put on two shows yesterday – the matinee audience mostly consisted of close friends and family, a fact which, I think, suited most of the performers. Not only was it our opening [...]

Thoughts on Photo 365

I’ve been working on Photo 365 for almost three weeks now and a couple of things have become apparent to me. 1. Wasting It’s similar to blogging in the way that for it to be interesting, you have to be interesting. If I spend the day being a lazy bum well then my daily photo [...]

Reblog: What does it mean to be Irish?

I wrote this back in September; I thought it was as relevant as any other post I’d be doing today so I’m reblogging it. Thoughts? comments? Be sure to leave ‘em at the bottom – shur aren’t the Irish all about community? :) I was wondering this at the wedding. Once I’ve gotten over my sense [...]

Roadtrip

Today I got to enjoy the luxury of a half day, as teachers in my school er, enjoyed an inservice. The sun was streaming down and we decided to go for a drive out to Killaloe. Some pictures: The road out to Killaloe. Entering the town. Jug and glass at the restaurant we ate in. [...]

Side Project – Photo 365

Happy March! A couple of my friends have been doing this ‘Photo 365′ idea, which is simple enough – one photo per day over 365 days, plus a short caption. I decided not to do it on the main blog here, instead opting to have it on a side blog – TrustTommy.Posterous.com. If you’re hip [...]

Advertising

No, I’m not getting Google Ads put in — they’re awful. Advertising has always interested me. While I never considered a career in advertising to be the one that I’d choose, I still love it and think it’s a very cool area to be in. The picture is of an ad for the iPod Mini, [...]
