when i was working in chicago, just off the main street, in sweltering heat, they still managed to have a decent working silent air conditioning unit. perhaps it's because it's more a necessity over there, but does the one in my work have to emit a constant dull hum throughout the day? and does it have to lightly coat the wall with grey fur?

getting woken up at approximately 5 in the morning by loud booming thunder is not a good thing. also, the fact that it was a sign that the good weather was finished was very depressing, especially as we only had 2 good days (2 good days, i might add, that i had to spend indoors working). why can't our weather system take more than that ( Read more... )

this is me: i'm sitting at a computer on the fourth floor in trinity. my hands are shaking (sorry, kristen) and i can barely type. y'see, i just checked my exam results. it seems like i've been given another chance. i just barely passed (well, whatever a third is) but to be honest, it's about two grades higher than what i thought i'd get (an F2 ( Read more... )

despite being in work for the better part of today, it was a glorious day, so so sunny. if i closed me eyes i could be in chicago. kind of.

tonight i get to see my friend dj in one of the worst bars in dublin, the international bar. it should be funny, if nothing else.

i really shouldn't watch films like the virgin suicides, not in the state i'm in right now. my exam results are actually out right now, but i think i'll wait until monday to find out that i failed yet again. perhaps i'll finally get down to deciding what i'm going to do with my life, stranger things have happened (but not much stranger ( Read more... )

does anybody know what's the deal with 'private' entries? can any of my friends view my private entries? because i updated last night with something under 'private', but now i'm worried that other people will be able to view it.

i got a job and it's sunny outside. i'm happy. a strange feeling, considering what was going through my head this morning. anyway, here's a list of my favourite summer albums. some are case specific (to particular summers) and some are just happy and fun and summer-y ( Read more... )

okay. i should've done this a long long time ago (ie, around a month before my exams started) and even though i finish on friday, i'm going to do this anyway: i'm going to stop updating this journal. i don't feel like i can be totally honest here, and there's always the fear of it reflecting a self-obsession that's unhealthy. if i can't even act ( Read more... )

"we'll keep well bred
we'll be well fed
we'll have all sons
they will be all well hung"

i heart perrin/duling's book on the new testament. if i actually did well/pass my paul exam, they are personally responsible and should be given awards or something. except one of them's dead. i can't remember which one ( Read more... )
