Well
Everyone else is going the livejournal root - so, so did I - Here

2003-02-21T20:24:00.000Z

Fuck Tesco's

Right,

So I meet Sadhbh in Tesco to do a little shopping so we could eat tonight.

So we pick up some vegetables and a turkey roast, some spuds, some Milk (as we've ran out) and a loaf of bread.

Then we queue in the express basket only queue - for 32 fucking minutes......

Now there were only 5 people in the queue in front of me, so I mean, almost 7 minutes per person????? There were trolleys going faster.

So depite three of the express checkouts beside me being being closed.

Right so a little pissed off with this only to discover that I have now been charged for 2 hours in the car park because I was stuck in the fucking queue.

So I look at the display to find out how much I owe...then I look at the machine which is more expensive - only ten cents but that's not the point - it over charged, but I was too pissed off already to actually complain (I had gone past the point of complaining)

So I go to exit the car park and so stupid cow has decided not to bother paying her ticket inthe machine and instead has called security down to the exit so she can pay.

I had this thought that ranting here may let me calm down a little - I was wrong - I'm just pissed again.

Fuck!

2003-02-12T19:28:00.000Z

I hate computers

I mean - what exactly is the purpose of a computer??

Is it to save time and money by having less people doing one job? YES.

Is it for recreational and educational uses? YES

Is it to have a small piece of software installed followed by the inability to switch on? NO IT'S FUCKING NOT

2003-01-04T03:50:00.000Z

This Could Be Considered A Spoiler.......

Right - the plot of Star Trek - Nemisis......
Weak, but the sheer piss-taking of the Next Gen series is brilliant.
To quote Gar "ADMIRAL JANEWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Yeah - he right....
Other than that - work is work - being stoned is fun, it's nearly four in the morning - Good night all!

Oh, and your sister is dying. Come and I will bring you to her.

*blank look at blog...*I really should update more often"

The EU
I was thinking about the EU on the trip home from Bantry yesterday and how they are out to make us feel better about stuff without actually changeing it at all.....
For example.....
Kilometres...All new sign posts are in Kilometres, so distances appear to be further, but we still have the speed limit in MPH, so though we can go no faster (legally) we appear to cover a greater distance without actually doing so. For example, if you do 50 miles in a hour you think "Hey, the speed limit is 60 MPH - how come it took me an hour, I could have done it in 50 minutes", but if you do the same journey, but it's 80 Kilometres, you think "Whoa! I did 80 Klicks in an Hour - go me"

Another example is the Euro....
Since its introduction back in January it's been like you have so much extra cash. (And you don't - In fact you probably have less because Charlie McCreevy is a stealing bollox) And even though you pay more for stuff (pure number wise - not actual value, though in most cases actual value too) you fell better about it.
Let's say you go out and buy something that costs 99 euro. You buy it and you think "Hey, this rocks - and I got it for under a hundred", but if you had bought the same thing a year earlier for 78 quid, you'd be thinking "Yeah - it's cool and I need one, but it cost the best part of a hndred quid.

So, basically what I am saying is Damn you foul EU - I'm on to your game and I'm waiting for you to slip up

2002-11-24T18:34:00.000Z

Woah! First post in 3.5 weeks.
Well, just back from Lanzarote on Saturday to pissing rain. It was hard to believe that 24 huors before hand I'd been wearing shorts and been at a water park.
I think I slept most of the holiday - first time in 2 years I've actually had time to relax and not give a shit - I hadn't realised how tired I was.
Holiday was fun - the Volcanoes over there are facinating. If anyone goes over there go on the volcano tour (You can only go on it by bus as they won't let cars into the really cool area) - it's absolutely fantastic. Only really bad ting about the holiday was the second dinner we had over there. We ent to this place (looked nice from the outside) and we both ordered steak (as you do). So out came what was advertised as grilled fillet steak with veg.
I have a suspicion that the food was actually grilled and the veg boiled, but soon afterwards they but everything in a basket and fucked it in a deep fat fryer. It came out and looked okay. The steak looked a little shiny, but I thought theyed fried id - nothing bad. Then I had some. It was ........... ...... ...... fascinating. Then I had some brocolli. WOAH!!!! It was vile. I bit into it and oil literally ran down my neck. Now as most of you know I'm a grease fiend, personally why grill stuff when you can fry it, but this was extreme. I chapped the tomato in half and the plate filled with oil. It was all bad.
So to finish up I decided to risk dessert. I ordered a Chocolate Mousse with Chapmange- or so I thought. I got this bowl of light light brown gunk that didn't taste very nice.
So other than that holiday was cool. Weather in Ireland sucks ass.

2002-10-30T19:02:00.000Z

Well finally home from Gaelcon.
Have to say was one of the most enjoyable cons of the last few years.
Also was possibly the most relaxed committee I've ever seen. Everone worked well together - there were one or two hick ups but there always is - but overall was amazingly smooth running.
Usual stuff happened over the weekend - Went in early all weekend, went home late.
Got home about 12 last night after spending a few hours doing clear out in the hotel and then 4.5 hours driving home.
Got home to a really clean appartment (Thank you Charles), and promtly went to the loo and threw up. Went to bed and got up for work - thank god I have a piss easy week of work ahead of me (though I didn't find that out until this morning).
So overall, Thanks Col and everyone else on the committee - It was bloody good fun.

2002-10-23T12:28:00.000Z

Bye Bye Hairy Lemon
It's gone. The Hairy Lemon closed i's moldy rotten doors for the lat time on Sunday night.
I think I'm gonna miss it. I mean, I know it was a hole and the drink was watered and it was uncomfortable (unless you got one of the couches), the lighting was bad, and th upstairs room filled with smoke even when no one was there, but it's been a regular event in my life for the last two and a half years.
I've been there nearly every Monday night for that long.
The Cam is sorted, Sadhbh managed to sort out the Franciscan Well as it's new venue, but I think I'm still gonna miss the Lemon.
I'm not sure why though - It doesn' really hold any memories for me (other than many nights of drinking, paying 36 puns for a round of three drinks, and more drink related activities) but it's always been there as a pub we can fall back to if we are feeling really lame.
Bugger anyway.

2002-10-07T08:29:00.000Z

This goes out to all drivers who PISS ME OFF!!!!!!
Next time any of the following happens I will ram you....

1. You want to turn right, but there is a queue on the turn right lane, so you come up the inside and then decide to tun across all the traffic cutting people off.

2. You decide to pull into the middle of a junction at traffic lights because they are going red, and the traffic at the other side isn't moving so all you end up doing is bloking traffic moving in the other roads coming into the junction.

3. You fail to remember yo uhave indicators on your car, but becasue your SPECIAL you can turn any way you want anyway.

4. You decide that the whole Yeild! Right of way! system at a roundabout does not apply to you.

5. Just becasue you have a more expensive car than me does not mean you can pull out of your driveway with out looking.

6. You decide One way traffic systems don't apply to you!

2002-10-01T12:32:00.000Z

Okay you have 8 fingers and 2 thumbs, right...
Does your Big Toe have a stupid name too?
Why doesn't McDonald's Hot Fudge Sundae have Hot Fudge in it?
Why is "Bum" such a funny word?

2002-09-24T12:36:00.000Z

Hello!!!!!
How are you?
Thats nice.

Hmmmm, do you have to pay the 15c Government Levy on Colostomy Bags? If you carried your shopping home in them would you have to then?
And why do the 7 dwarfs (or is it dwarves?) work? Is it to pay for Snow White's Crack habit?

2002-09-09T10:48:00.000Z

Whoa!!!
It's weeks since I last updated.
Shouldn't leave it so long.
Anyway, what have I been up to.
Hmmmm - Finished working in the Corpo (It was fun) and am back working for Dick (Not so fun - but not too bad).
Went to Gencon last weekend - was okay - nothing spectacular, but fun all the same. At this juncture I would like to whole heartedly apologise to all those that felt irate/victimised/scared of the group of drunken fools down the back of the hall on the Saturday night, of which I was one.
I would also like to say sorry to Gar for abandoning him with my bag on Sunday.
So what have I been up to recently...
Finally finished the new Tome (Members handbook) for the Cam - which has releived a hell of a lot more stress than I thought it would. I knew I was stressed, just wasn't sure what it was about - didn't think it was that. I'm still a bit stressed over various stuff, but I'm finally starting to get it under control.
While I'm typing this I'm also browsing the web - I thinnk I'm scared by this - Especially the bit where it tells you (the traveller) how to travel to these places.
I also found this - Piggies Charles???
All I can think of now is "Mork calling Orson - Come in Orson"

2002-08-19T10:32:00.000Z

Went to Trabolgan for a few hours yesterday.
Fuck me it's expensive. We we're there for 3 1/2 hours. €13 for the car park. Then €6.50 each for the pool. I'm not to upset with the price of the pool, slighty more expensive than going to your average pool, but that was to be expected. But €13 for the car park was a joke.
Overall I rthink I could handle staying at the place for a weekend, but if I was going for a week, I'd kill myself.
It's like a small resort in the Canaries or something, only it's in East Cork (I had always thought it was actually in Waterford) tied with the fact it's not sunny and the beer is expensive.
Plus the fact the pool has only 5 showers, which are pool side and communal. I don't have a real problem with that other the fact the place gets fairly busy and 5 showers is f^%k all.
Anyway - Yeah - Show there

2002-08-13T09:47:00.000Z

So the last few days, eh.
Went to Kildare to Granny-sit.
Was okay.
Didn't drink all weekend (yay me)
Met various people around Dublin - nothing special happened.
Came home Sunday.
Read my e-mail - went to bed.
Yesterday though.
Dick (My boss) told me on Friday to head out to the office to collect some computers for the City Council.
So I did - only to discover the computers were in bits - I mean no drivers, 1 out of 4 USB ports working - stuff like that.
So finally got them all working and delivered - but it took 5 hours.
So went home - had first non-fast food day in weeks - it was good.
Went to Werewolf. Good night, lots of fights - I got killed - then got drunk.
Now doing a new character......hehehehehehehhehehehehehehehehehehehe

2002-08-08T14:54:00.000Z

What Retard are you?

What stupid online quiz are you?

2002-08-07T09:21:00.000Z

Ah the long weekend....
So Friday went to Waterford for Icon - Got drunk.
Saturday went to the con, Sadhbh pottered around all day hungover and tired. I played MagBlast (I really should get a copy of that game) and Boggle. Sadhbh eventually borrowed Don's hotel room and slept until about twelve. Pub quiz was really short and downloaded straight from Gar's brain - though he still lost (Gar, Rock is strong). Ended up staying in Ciaran's.
Got up Sunday afternoon and went to beach.
Got back to Waterford, con was over, said goodbye to everyone and went home.
Went to pub. Wasn't in mood so went home.
Monday, went to Cam game. We had an officers meeting before hand, which only a little of the storyteller side got discussed at due to the lateness of some people.
Had game - Was okay.
Went to pub. Went home - discussed Cam until finve in the morning.
Was off on Tuesday (Yay!!!!!), so got up about 10. Sadhbh stayed in bed for most of day, she was sick
I eventually went into town and had lots of coffee. Talked more Cam stuff (please shoot me at this stage).
Went to Gar's game. Was cool.
Now in work.
Work, the inherent evil in all things that ends up paying for all good things.

2002-08-02T10:52:00.000Z

Well the last week has been interesting.
Sunday - Got up early and put the roast in the oven. Sadhbh got up eventually and she went shopping. I cooked dinner. Geoff both wine.
Dinner was eaten - And it was the first time in months that only myself, sadhbh, geoff and lisa had sunday dinner together. Usually when we go to the effort of cooking a huge dinner there's at least one other person there. After dinner the word of the day was picked - it turned out to be quartile. Then we went to the well - I got drunk.
Monday - Got up - went to work - No hangover....sweet. Got home from work, went to Cobh. Sadhbh wrote a new song.....
"Every one should pay attention to me.....
Everyone should pay attention to me.....
Me, me, me, me, meeeeeeeeeee.....
Everyone should pay attention to meeee"
It continues to be her favourite song of all time.
Tuesday Got up, went to work - was late - ah well. Left work early, went to Cobh to view houses. Jesus, houses in Cobh are so cheap. We (Sadhbh and I) seem to be interested in one house in particualar, though only if we can knock one of the internal walls in (hehehehehehhehe - sledgehammer). Then we played Gar's Delta Green game. here's a brief description of the characters.....
Jackie - A Delta Force Officer - Nut Job.
Ed - A CDC Chemist - Lsd pumping, people hating nut job.
Charles - A FBI agent - A mild mannered detective who pretends to be Elvis.
Sadhbh - A Delta Force Officer - Hates violence, now dead.
JP - A NSA agent - Tends to saty away from the rest of us due to a major fear of being hurt.
Me - A DEA agent - Perfectly Sane.
I'm sure that the other players wil disagree with this outline of their characters - they're wrong........
Wednesday - I had a day off.....Yay.
Got up late. Went to the tax office. Went to mortgage brokers. Went home. Went pub. Got drunk. Decided Geoff's a woopsie - He's given up beer.
ThursdayHad okay day at work. Got how. Went to go to Sadhbh's parents for dinner. Car wouldn't start - Fuck.
Sadhbh's dad called over. We tried pushing it up a hill. A coke bottle got in our way so we stopped. Rolled car down hill and got it going in reverse. My car nearly became part of Alfie's. Had dinner. Got home - My computer is dying - or at least one of the Hard drives in it - Should really back everything up sometime soon. Went to pub. Didn't get drunk. Said goodbye to Bernard.

2002-07-27T00:09:00.000Z

Hmmmmmmmmmmm...................................I have nothing to say - Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm..........................Isn't that saying something??????????
Is saying your not saying anything saying something or is it verifying your not saying anything, and even is verifying it saying something???????????
It's all abit wacky............

2002-07-18T23:27:00.000Z

Finally got around to doing that What type of Robot are yoiu test - And I got Prime.....The coolest Autobot ever. Sweet

2002-07-16T22:46:00.000Z

Hyperlinks rock

2002-07-15T22:43:00.000Z

So what have I done in the last week???
Worked.
Played Warcraft 3 which is f^$king brilliant.
Now, I love the Warcraft games - always prefered them to C and C, which to be honest I didn't like much, and to Star Craft.
And Warcraft 3 doesn't let me down - The graphics are briliant, and the Cut scenes rock. The story is a little lacking but they always are aren't they - but the whole Hero idea is cool and unlike a lot of the RTS games out there it has 40(ish) missions in the single player campaign which is pretty rocking.
Okay so other than that what else have I done...............
I spent today in a blisteringly hot room as the AirCon unit was broken and blowing warm air into a room with 15 servers and 8 PC's al going at once. It was over 30 degrees in there - unpleasent.
Missed the Changeling game as I'm in bits and just didn't have the energy for public activity, so spent a few hours doing some work on Gameeire, the fruits of my efforts will hopefully be up and running live by the weekend.
That's about it really.

2002-07-08T09:19:00.000Z

I noticed over the weekend that traffic in Dublin is getting bad.....So F%^king bad in fact it took over 2 hours to get 18 miles - In fact for about 10 miles of that I was doing a failrly good speed, so it took and 100 minutes to get 8 miles. I can walk that fast.
So after 9 hours (out of 11) in the car, I finally got home (well to Cork) where it promptly descended into a night of drinking - only then I got dragged into a conversation about mage of all f%$king things. Jesus, I hate Mage. Yes I know I shouldn't say stuff like that being a member of the Camarilla and especially being NC, but I really hate that game.
I'm not sure exactly why - I mean I like Ars M, and that's essentially Mage: Sorceror's Crusade only slightly better.
Anyway - as a way of revenge, I left the conversation with three people trying to remember the theme to Family Ties.
Any luck yet lads????

2002-07-04T09:50:00.000Z

Jesus work has been busy the last few days.
That and stupid problem,s with the Cam.
Anyway finnaly got the Irish cam site back up and running.
Haven't done much in the last few days. Played Vampire Monday - new players - woo woo.
Played Cthulhu tuesday - lack of players - but really good fun.
Watched Father Ted for a number of hours Wednesday.
Possibly going to Dog Track tonight - who knows.
Going to Dublin Tomorrow.

Other than that I've been working on this Game world again (I've been working on it on and off for years).
I tried sitting and typing up the politics of the country I'm working on and the idea I have in my head just isn't easily transferable to paper - it's really fucking annoying.

Ah well.....

2002-06-30T20:44:00.000Z

I really like apples.
I haven't had an apple in ages, but I'm still fairly confident I like them.
I also still think the idea of tent cities is good.
So the last day of the sixth month of the year - meaning the year is offically half over (in a calendar sense).
What have I achieved in the Last 6 months.................about as much as the content of the mystery box in Wheel of Fish..............
I also like fish.

Jesus
I just read what I had typed.
I must be really tired - or off my tits on something (Oh, to be stoned right now)
I'm going to the pub - talk to you all in Q3.

2002-06-28T15:02:00.000Z

Tents Rool!!!!!!!!!!!
I mean tents - Homes you can carry in a bag....well bedrooms anyway - and all you need is somewhere to put them down and pitch them for the night.
Think about it...I fwe here in Ireland lived in a better climate, we could live in Tent cities.
If you ever got bored or annoyed with your neighbours, you pack up and move out in 30 minutes.
Fair enough, getting running water and power and sewage and all that stuff would be a pain in the ass - but would it out weigh the advantages to being able to move when ever you wanted and if your home ever burnt down you could buy a fairly decent one for about 400 euro - can't go wrong.

2002-06-27T11:53:00.000Z

Have India and Pakistan Nuked each other???
I was wathcing the news yesterday for a while (watched Sky News and the Headlins on RTE 6 o'clock news) and have India and Pakistan disappeared???
I mean a week ago they were on the virge of Nuclear war - then nothing - not a peep from them in the media.
There's still loadsa stuff on Isreal and Palestine, but not a peep about the other (for all intensive purposes) holy war going on in Asia.

2002-06-26T14:35:00.000Z

Cloning resolved -
a=b=1
a squared = b squared = a x b = 1
a squared - b squared = a squared - ab
(a + b)(a - b) = a (a - b)
a + b = a
1 + 1 = 1
2 = 1
therefore Fiki = 2 Fiki = Soon my pretties and I shall rule the world - hehehehehehhehehehehehehhehehehehehehehehehehhehehehee

2002-06-24T10:45:00.000Z

So anyway, I'm still waiting on my Iodine tablets.
I mean - WTF!!!!!
Of all the stupid things the Irish government has done recently, issuing every home in the country with 10 Iodine tablets "In case of Nuclear War...."......
Why bother??
Here, take one of these - it wil prolong the suffering of radiation sickness by up to three days - fucking hell, they may as well send everyone inflatable nuclear bunkers for all the good it'll do.
The faster you move, the slower time passes, the longer you live!
There for move faster then the speed of light so the radiation can't hit you, 'cos if you don't move that fast once again your just incresing the pain and suffering your undergoing by dragging out the time of your death.

2002-06-21T20:08:00.000Z

Whoa!!!
I really haven't updated this page in weeks.
Actually I've noticed the last 3 weeks has flown by - I don't know weither it's because of the World Cup and the excitement that sorta caused.
Anyway I can't really remember what I've actually done in the last fews weeks and if any of it's worth talking about?
So other than that - I found out what type of Snack food I am....

What Snack Food are YOU? Click here to find out!

Actually the more I think about it I am!!!! - I'm caucasian who wears a lot of black.
Hmmmmmmmmm............Figure!

2002-05-30T23:04:00.000Z

I just figured out (well it actually came to me in a flash of inspiration in the ad break betweek Scrubs and Angel)– there’s no Cat (as in the animal) heaven.
Basically what happened was they built a cat heaven, lovely big apartment blocks and condo's and stuff, and they stood around waiting for cat's to die, so they could charge rent and shit to pay the large mortgage.
Only as they got really excited because cats were dieing they realise they were f%^ked. Cat's have nine lives, so before any cats actually got to cat heaven the banks had forclosed on the whole thing and knocked it down to make a bunch of warehouses to keep the EU excess butter reserves.

2002-05-29T20:24:00.000Z

Proof Just In
Swami Fordie is seen here attending a service given by Genpo Roshi.
Fordie was acclaimed as a prophet by those there when he declared "From darkness lead us to light, from non-being lead us to being, from death lead us to immortality."
Later when asked his beliefs and his thoughts on an after life, all he would say was "It's not what one knows with the mind, but that by which the seers declare the mind is known. This is the reality that you should know, not what people regard as an object in this world"
Personally I don't know what he's on about, but I hope to have a translation of Foride Krishna's works (from WTF to English) some point in the future.

2002-05-28T21:21:00.000Z

The Interview.I finally managed to secure an interview with chicken man - he wasn't very responsive though.
In fact he didn't say much more than this.
He did supply us with a picture of him and his cousin John though
Thoroughly disappointing really.
Currently follwoing up rumours that Brian Forde has become a Hari Krishna - More later as the story unfolds.

2002-05-27T21:14:00.000Z

Chicken Man
Thats' right, Charles Dunne, is actually a chicken in disguise
This startling revelation may not be as mad as it seems. Charles has been known to move his head rapidly from side to side, while at the same time looking slightly oddly at you.
On top of that, he seems to have an inate fear of Sunday Dinners.
We hope to havbe an interview with the Chicken Man in the near future.

2002-05-25T22:56:00.000Z

Hot off the Presses Geoff "John Travolta" Keenan has been spotted in a busy Cork night club, all kitted out in his new "Getting Fit" gear.
Geoff, a carpenter by trade, is suprised he can still pull the ladies with his out-dated Robot dancing. He is reported to have said it's all thanks to his "Superior Cranial Abilities", an advantage he claims to have over normal mortals.

2002-05-25T20:38:00.000Z

News Just In - Gordon O'Keeffe has never actually been to Austrailia. During his recent trip out of the country it has been found that he was actually operating a seedy Kareoke Bar in Gran Canaria. This has been verified by a number of sources to date and this photo has just been sent to me to substaniate this story.
More Later

2002-05-25T14:43:00.000Z

Reports coming in from an anonymous source have confirmed that indeeed Morgan the PIMP, did infact have a customer at Warpcon - none other that the Convention Director himself, seen here hiding his identity by wearing a blonde wig and a dress.
More updates as they become available.

2002-05-24T15:08:00.000Z

Rumours of Morgan's apparent Person In charge of Monetary Payment - Or PIMPing are apparently true. Click here for photographic evidence He is reported to have had at least one client at Warpcon, and hopes by next Warpcon to have an entire flock of Stupid Hairy Energetic Ewe Prostitues, or SHEEP. When asked for a comment as the benifits of this new side-line job (He claims he "works" for Microsoft), he replied the "Benifits were good"

2002-05-22T16:08:00.000Z

Yay me - Finally got a YACCS account.
And apparently it's working which is really goonna piss Sadhbh off.
Anyway. Not much else to say really

2002-05-21T12:50:00.000Z

Hmmmmmm

2002-05-16T08:44:00.000Z

Todays Fact: Did you know O is the oldest letter in the alpahbet.

Hmm after two whole posts with interesting facts (if you could call them interesting) I'm getting bored of it.
Maybe it's time to start a rumour mill blog....
Blatent lies about people...
Wonder what the legal consequences of it would be?
Maybe if I put some mad disclaimer somewhere.....

2002-05-15T16:03:00.000Z

Todays Fact(A new service) : Did you know there are 92 known cases of nuclear bombs lost at sea.

Sort of makes you wonder how many more have been lost.

Which of course can lead in your train of thought in one of two directions...

1. The whole what are the governments not tellings / What if they feel into the wrong hands direction

Or

2. (My personal direction) I wonder how much a submarine and a geiger counter costs? And would the blackmail/terrorist threat from investing in the submarine/geiger counter pay off if we found a bomb?

2002-05-15T11:14:00.000Z

Right so,
It's my birthday friday and I will be old - But not as old as Taryn
Haha
That said I am apparently extremely hard to buy presents for - to that Sadhbh bought me some cool stuff......
The New Apocalypse Now Redux DVD (with the 49 extra minutes of footage) - Woo Woo
A realy sweet Knife Set (hehehehhehehhehehehehe)
Some chocolate covered coffee beans (Hmmmmm yummy)
and
And a coo Coffee Mug.
Excellent - Then she brought me out to dinner - Mmmmmm, Fillet Steak.
Also going out to dinner on Friday night - My parents are down for the weekend helping my Aunt and Uncle move house so we're all going out.
Should be a good night.

2002-05-14T15:05:00.000Z

I've just been amazingly disappointed - yeah I know it's my own fault - getting my hopes up and all that.
So yeah - anyway here's why I'm disappointed.
You know google right.
And you know the I feel lucky button .....
So I put in the search "I feel lucky" and click the feeling lucky button...
And what shit does it take you to - Something about how lucky we are to be alive 'cos of the billions to one chance of the whole amino acids forming trillions of years ago and that sort of pants.

Well was sick all weekend so didn't actually end up playing Brittania (yay me) - instead I got to spend the weekend lying in bed playing XCOM UFO, Enemy Unknown on my laptop*.
What a bloddy great game - It's what - 8-10 years old at this stage and still one of the most playable games around.
Yeah so............

A penny and a cent in a boat - the penny turns to the cent and says "euro".
And if you think that's bad,
A Pound and a Euro in a boat - the Euro turns to the Pound and says "You've no cents".

Sorry
Must still be sick.

*In theory not my laptop - well actually in practive not my laptop - I sort of borrowed it from work and haven't brought it back yet.

So there I was after dinner last night (We wnt out to OZ - preety sweet restaraunt on Grand Parade, here in Cork) when Sadhbh asks what oyster tastes like (As she had had a battered oyster as a sort of garnishy type thing with her steak - so I told her (You know - slimey) to which her reaction was to describe them as follows - Like preforming cullilingus on a 90 year old woman with thrush. Sorta put me off my food (Good thing I'd already eaten).
So yeah - I've been abandonned by herself again (She's off being an orange for the weekend).
Probably gonna end playing Brittania with Ed and Farrell (Friends of mine) - bugger.

Right - ahve spent several days trying to get blogger to update my homepage on Eircom.net - but eircom's goddamn server is refusing the connection.
Anyway........(ah anyway - is there nothing you can't do)
I bought this cool set of shelves the other day - Took me ages to put together though Sadhbh was trying to get me to get this mad set of industrial heavy duty shelves with hardly any bits - everyone (yes I mean you too) knows that the more bits involved the more fun it is - like jigsaws - I like jigsaws, 'specially those ones with hundreds of pieces that look the same - you like the ones with pictures of baked beans in tomato sauce.
Anyway (see, what a great word), this set of shelves....Finally got it assembled and it comes with this cool canvas cover that makes the whole thing look like a portaloo crossed with a tent - it's preety sweet
More later (I promise there will be - you know there will)

Ah.
Finally home (Well will be in a few hours)
I've been staying in my girlfriend's parent's house for the past number of days as they have been away and we've had to mind the dog.
It's been grand really toher than it being a pain in the ass to get to when you've been out drinking and have no cash for a cab, but other than that it's a nice comfy house.
So yeah - that's about the last few days covered.
So yeah - Home - which means I'm gonna have to clean the apartment tonight as Sadhbh is out being an orange or something and she'll go mad if it's still a complete kip when she gets home.
I've also decided I hate Oki printers. I mean, I installed a new drum kit in one the other day and suddenly it won't print grey anymore. When it goes to print grey it prints yellow. I had to use 47 pages adjusting the colour settings to get grey to print. What a big pain in the ass.
That's all for now as I'm gonna go get a sandwich.
