Squeaky noises break my head

Earlier in the week, I went to the last of the Siemens Feis Ceoil Young Platform concerts. They’re a series of concerts, featuring young Feis winners – some really amazing stuff. The concert was absolutely fabulous, and all the performers are people to watch out for – and for six euro, the price was definitely [...]

My room looks weird…

It’s almost like when I moved in. Except the bookshelf, which is full of books. It’s really rather weird. It hardly feels like my room at all. Moving is strange. And I have way too much stuff – even having thrown out *lots*… It’s a bit scary really. There’s lots of wondering what my room [...]

Can anyone tell me…

How exactly do you decommission two tonnes of Semtex?
[Colm says you dump it in the sea. I don't like this answer - it may be effective, but it's gotta be bad for the environment!]

Actually, while we’re on it, how do members of the IRA meet with people like General de Chastelain? Given that membership of [...]

Closing Chapters…

So, I finished up at work on Friday. It was *weird*. I’ve been working there for the last fifteen months – longer really than I’ve been at anything else before, considering how the summer holidays break up school/college years.

For a few weeks before I finished, I was trying to do as little of my normal [...]

Cinema Troubles

So, Colm & I went to see Bewitched this evening.. Unfortunately, someone didn’t want us watching movies on a school night – there was a problem in UGC, power was out and the generator wasn’t working (this may or may not be true – it’s what we heard, from poor harried staff, who didn’t seem [...]

Rain

Rain fell in my eyes this morning… It tickled.

Now they’re all sore tho. Icky

*Conscience Poke*

Got my papers from TCD the other day, to donate my body to the anatomy dept. For any of you who haven’t considered it, think about it. You’re not going to need it once you’re gone, and wouldn’t you rather student doctors learning on a cadaver first, rather than a real, live patient!? It’s dead [...]

Alison Krauss & Union Station

Went to their concert last night, with Colm, Colin, Mary, Gerry & Marian… Started out with food in the Porterhouse – mmm, yummy! After a bit of confusion, we found our seats – man, was it warm. They had the same piece of carpet on the stage as in their “Live” DVD, and it looked [...]

Flight Fun

Well, today’s been an interesting one! Mum and dad have been in Nice for the last few days, at an Emergency Medicine conference. They were due back tonight, late. So last night, I checked the Dublin Airport Arrivals page, and there was only one flight from Nice today. Arriving in Dublin at 12:40. Definitely not [...]
