Weight
I know I'm overweight, probably into obese, but I also know that a healthy weight for me is above what the BMI charts say (and there's also a rant about how BMI is inexact and in some instances dangerous non-science, and how most fit people are above their BMI, that women should be on the higher side not the lower and that being under is much more ( Read more... ) -
Lazy Sunday Afternoon
In Ireland it's a bank holiday weekend, I've spent today resting and relaxing, watching a lot of Fringe, spending only about 80 minutes in the sun, and 20 minutes of that without sun screen. I have to get the vitamin d in my system, it's been running too low over the last while. Well Ireland and vitamin d aren't great bedfellows ( Read more... ) -
Blooming
I won tickets for Bloom and Mac's only day off this weekend was friday so we went after I was on a half day. Mac ra1n through one of the tents so fast I barely could see anything and I got quite annoyed. Still it was interesting. Even if there was several dead ATMs. I spent my birthday money well and enjoyably. Managed to avoid buying a lot of ( Read more... ) -
Introspection

To sleep, perchance to dream
Oh man today was a day on automatic. I woke at 6:15 ish and the lights in the room from across the hall, because elder cat doesn't do subtle when he enters the room, little cat does, but elder shoulders the door out of the way and the light was bright, too bright to really sleep until just before the alarm clock went off. Oh man I was tired. And ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
Today had a few highs and a few lows. There was going to Blanchardstown and some shopping and eating in Wagamamas, which sadly has fewer options for me now, which places it into my "could go with friends" but not a place to regular go to for food ( Read more... ) -
Knitting and socialising
So yesterday after work I went to a knitting event in The Constant Knitter where I was very nervous and talked a bit too much and lost the train of thought a few more times and fangirled a bit over Cat Bordhi and Kieran Foley (and told Kieran that I was in awe of his mad skilz) and networked a bit and had a lot of fun, which made up for failing to ( Read more... ) -
Homestead.
Moycullen is where I'm from, and I'd always known about the raids on the local co-op, then I read The Black and Tans by D.M. Leeson where he argues that all of Ireland underwent the Stanford Prison Experiment with the Tans as the Prison wardens ( Read more... )
