eh, title

We have a mini parking lot with our house that connects to the back of the other houses on the street corner. It’s basically the old walls from the other surrounding buildings, a mess of shale and brickwork with bits patched with whatever was available over the years. I like it because, well, it’s quaint [...]

and it was delicious

Today I went on a quest. I had a package waiting for me at a post office out in the middle of nowhere and I had no idea how to get there. Without going into too much detail, I asked about 5 different people and received 5 different sets of directions, bought one map which [...]

this just in

Fun with linguistics! “Spoiler” is now a verb! As used in “I haven’t heard anything about the new movie yet; I’m un-spoilered.” “I got spoilered yesterday–Vader is totally Kaiser Sose!” “I totally spoilered your mom last night.”
In other news, I have assignments due in the upcoming weeks which are taking up all my time (read: [...]

devils are dreaming

Couldn’t get to sleep at a decent hour last night, too busy reading Anansi Boys. When I finally passed out my dreams were heavily influenced by the book, the whole thing had this very wise old man story-telling narration style. A man had dropped his cell phone into a river. A wise old man said [...]

I think you know if a guy really likes you when he doesn’t bother to finish his pint before dragging you off to a quiet place to make out.
We’re talking about the IRISH here, people. Trust me, they take their pints very seriously.
In other news, I just put a whole bunch of new pics up [...]

The new place has 3 floors. Or, if you’re not American, it has two floors, plus the ground floor. Whatever. It’s tall, let’s just say. And even with four of us in the house it can seem empty at times, with everyone on a different floor wondering “where is everyone?” We need to get some [...]

oh shits!

Okay, moved into the new place, it is AWESOME, I have a BED, all to MYSELF, and now I can’t stop writing in CAPS.
Seriously though, it is very very nice. There will be pictures, and stories, and stuff, but as of right now we have no internets.
So for now I’ll leave you with the only [...]

okay, first one’s free

We had some problems checking in. Our room reservations were all wrong. After sorting it out we realized that the woman at the desk had looked at the wrong listing in the computer, and typed in “Denis [Surname]” as “David [Surname]“. Who was also a hotel employee, and had also made reservations for 2 rooms [...]

i’d tell you the whole story, but there’d be a story-telling fee

This last weekend I went to GaelCon with friends and boy did we have fun. We wandered around Dublin, we wandered around Liffey Valley, we wandered around Clontarf Castle, and made it back here with heavy bags and much lighter wallets. There was a lot of silliness. We scored a table near the RPG rooms [...]
