If one were to make a list of important things in life, this’d come…. pretty damn high up. Without making this post sound too much like something you’d find in a chapter of 7 Highly Effective Habits.. (read: preachy), I think everyone should use a calendar of some sort. It’s common sense – someone who’s busy [...]
Today, we bought a smoothie maker, and much hilarity ensued. Here is how to make one, Collison style: Frozen fruit, only 2€ per packet from Dunnes Stores. Why struggle with fresh fruit when you’re going to be eating it cold anyway? Next, natural yoghurt. That squiggle on my hand was testing whether a pen works. [...]
Ryan Tubridy’s Late Late Toy Show I thoroughly enjoyed this. Tubs is full of win – may more energetic than Kenny ever was; and connects with the kids perfectly. JEdward didn’t sing so I still don’t know what they sound like. Probably for the best, right?
Anthony Rapp (Mark Cohen in RENT, the show I was at last night) and I at the stage door of the theatre last night.
There will be a RENT post going up, but I don’t have the photos (Patrick took them, and I’m not meeting him until later). Needless to say it was completely awesome. For now, I’d like to share with you the reason I was so annoyed at being in America this weekend; missing the floods:
Morning folks. I’m currently plonked on the sofa of John’s dorm. The aforementioned isn’t here – he’s racing in the Tail of the Charles (a rowing thing) and was up at 6 to leave. There’s music playing here but there doesn’t seem to be anyone here. Then again, I’m in a college at 07:49, wondering [...]
I arrived in early yesterday. The journey was uneventful, apart from crashing the TV screen, as shown in the picture: I reached the terminal at about 15:30, thirty five minutes before schedule. After getting someone to fish my cane out of the overhead bins (I never knew I wasn’t tall enough for my hand to [...]
There’s an old joke about calories that goes “If nobody sees you eat it, it doesn’t count”. I would like this sentiment to be stretched to when I’m packing my backpack – if nobody sees me put the item in, it should be weightless. Not pictured here are clothes, which I’ve yet to sort out. [...]
I’ve been visualizing my traveling to Boston over the couple of days. After Mom sees me off, I enter the boarding tunnel and into whatever the next four days holds for me. The perpetually smiling air hostess (with the smile that surely must be stapled on to stay in place) takes my ticket and directs [...]
Today saw me getting up quite early (there’s an 8am? On a Saturday?) because I wanted to head down to Cork to meet everyone who was going to the third Bar Camp. It’s basically a meetup of geeks and tech folks, some of whom are giving talks. I never actually got to any of the [...]
