I am never sitting another exam as long as I live.

Style in the City

Friday, May 30th, 2008

I’m sorry* for being a cliché but I am a huge fan of Sex and the City. I’ve worn out my DVD’s of the show and I know that I’ll be first in line to buy the DVD of the movie so that I can wear that out too.  A critically acclaimed piece [...]

Weekend Round Up

Monday, May 26th, 2008

What a fantastic weekend to be from Limerick*.
My significant other was in the front row of the Millennium Stadium and ended up being shown on TV more times than some of the players. He even managed to catch a ball at one stage although unfortunately that wasn’t caught on camera. Lorraine has some [...]

O Flanagan novels. [...]

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

Here’s a few pictures I took today of the lovely Good Luck flowers my better half gave me for the exams.  My inspiration to keep going over the last few days has been from seeing them on the table everytime I look up to day dream.

Happy Weekend

Friday, April 25th, 2008

Just a quick one to say wish you all a lovely weekend.
About the banner, I loved those shoes but it felt like time for a change. The new photo was taken this time last year, out my bedroom window when my beloved apple tree was blossoming. The tree was cut down in the Autumn of [...]

These are the offending procrastination articles, should you fancy joining me on the dark side.

Heart-Rending Tales of Woe

Monday, January 14th, 2008

I’m not a big fan of biographies, especially of famous people, but I’m a sucker for a “heart-rending tale of woe”, I like to be reminded every so often of how good I have it I suppose. “Ma, he sold me for a few cigarettes” by Martha Long is along the same lines as [...]
