Busy, busy, busy
It's been far too long since my last post, but man have I been busy.
Started my job on Tuesday. The first 2 days were packed with meetings and when I wasn't in a meeting I had stuff to keep me occupied. The meetings on Tuesday and Wednesday were just general info. Then on Thursday I was running out of stuff to do, but I had a meeting which wasn't ( Read more... ) -
Busy with no internet
I've done very little posting lately, I just moved to a new house with no internet connection and I'm too busy most days to get in to the college PCs, so my input is low, I'm trying to pick it up though. Another problem is, although I've plenty to post about, generally when I think about that stuff, I have to do it, not post about it, ho-hum -
Misanthropy
I find myself being very misanthropic lately. I haven't been in good form and the reason for this is that there is far too much evidence of the fact that people are rubbish. I have believed that people are rubbish for years, yet I have always been an optimist. I always go into a day expecting to find evidence that man can still be good, yet ( Read more... ) -
Googlewhack
It's been almost a year since I first found out what a googlewhack is, thanks to Dave Gorman, and I've finally found one, provided by livejournal no less, my googlewhack was 'linguaphiles hemidemisemiquaver', woot. -
Taking It Back
The term 'cracker' is generally considered a derogatory term used by African-Americans to refer to whites. Many people believe that this term originated from a reference to southern american slave owners who would crack their whips, but this term is much older. Slaves would have used the term for all white people as they heard upper and middle ( Read more... ) -
Green Lantern Movie
A Green Lantern Movie has been announced.
This news should have me quivering with excitement, but instead I'm just shaking with terror.
Green Lantern is, as far as I'm concerned, the greatest superhero ever, and deserves a movie made by nothing less than the finest minds Hollywood has to offer (sounds like a misnomer, but there is some talent in ( Read more... ) -
AWOL
So, as I've pointed out before, I hate people being emo on the internet. I haven't updated in a few days and I'm probably going to be awol for a while. I'm going to go talk to a shrink instead.
On a lighter note, The X-Files rock, I'm watching it from series 1.

Freedom Within The Heart
Holy Shit! The ultimate irishman being portrayed by my favourite actor! I'm going to be constantly checking up on this to see when auditions for minor parts are going, and failing that, I shall be struggling to be an extra, I have to get involved in this. -
The morning (afternoon) after
Oh man, what a night. The show went great last night. We had a lot of fun with it, and there were a few pranks pulled. The first prank was pulled by me, and all the victims were delighted. At the start of the musical I also have a small part as a wino, I'd been using a prop bottle in a brown paper bag all week, and during the second number, several ( Read more... ) -
Feckin' water
It's days like this that I really hate Irish weather, a rainy day I can handle but this is just plain annoying. I left the house to go to the Post office collection depot out in the business park to pick up Katie's 21st birthday present (framed limited edition Mulan film strip, which she loved) as no-one was around on Monday when the postman tried ( Read more... )
