  3. I Had A Random Thought...

    My brothers reaction was. "Oh ya, he looks like an eagle". When I googled Tom Clancy looks like an eagle to no result he told me to search for "Tom Clancy looks like a hawk".
  4. Life

    I feel like that sometimes. This move however I've been rather happy (2 and a half weeks) despite having the man flu and staying in bed every night for a week. I've been visiting an old buddy of mine who is laid up with a trapped nerve. It's one of those friendships where you just fall back into the same banter you used to have years ago which is really cool. I'm meeting another old friend later this week. Other than that I've been home to mammy for a weekend, to a stag party and this weekend to a wedding. My new city is really well connected by train so it's really easy to pop up to dublin for a howdy. I'm also going to start music lessons soon and I'm debating joining a band 45 mins away or sticking with my current band 75 mins away. Toot toot on the French horn. Off tonight to visit my brother and pregnant wife and say howdy to the old band at least. I may be getting a French horn to practice on:DThat is the one man sitcom that is my life at the moment. At least it has a nice opening shot. I can't really offer much advice. I was a fair bit of a hermit in my old place for 9 months. This place just seems to suit me more. Do you know the area you are in? My good spirits are probs helped by that I got nearly two whole paychecks this month though. Nom. The view is very pretty indeed. Cork is nice that way, there is always trees in your line of sight, and the town is very old and a little decrepit, but it gives it a lot of character.
  5. Nintendo 3DS

    I love the non platform ins Kirby games. Power paintbrush and mass attack were two of my favourite ds games, despite easyness usually turning me off games badly.
  6. Post your face!

    Gone home ghost life 3 confirmed?
  7. Post your face!

    My friend has recently got big into photographing. The other night when i went over it was suddenly sexy photo shoot and then more normal photo shoot. I don't like that he photoshops me, but everyone else seems very keen on the idea! We got out the fan for my hair and all.
  8. Life

    I bought a house with my friend when we started out PhDs. Now we rent it to friends of mine. We got a tracker mortgage just before the interest rates tanked. Score. You don't have to be tied to a house for life, and if US markets are operating like Irish ones, then it's a cheap time to buy a house. This is the view from my new house. I get it for €400 a month, it is 10 mins walk from Cork city center. My brother's inlaws are my landlords and they gave it cheap as they like having family in it (my brother's sis in law was here before, but has moved to Paris). Gosh but i like living on my own! Epic landing on my feet with this move. Also, my old job and my new job both ended up paying me nearly a full months wage each. whoop. My last house was a huge room in a mansion in the countryside looking out over the mountains. I lived there with 3 women. There was a cleaner.

  11. Life

    No it doesn't. I've owned a house for 7 years now. Today I bought kinder eggs. Nom. And congrats! Looks awesome:)
  12. iOS Gaming

    It is really excellet on the ipad though, if that gives you any comfort.
  13. The Dispossessed is in my top five books. After the thumbs mention I went back and read the Wizard of Earthsea on my train journies this weekend. I love her writing style more than any other author I think. There is something about the way she string a a sentence together that just pleases my eye no end. Oddly enough, I stated the Old man and the sea last night and the tersness of the writing there was similarly pleasing. Also G man video amazing!

    Twig, how was your interview with the one guy?
  16. I Had A Random Thought...

    Will you mount yourself if it triggers?
  17. Beethoven's 9th has consumed my entire evening. I only stopped to eat and to badger my sis in law into buying it. It is amazing. I need to sleep now, but all I really want to so is listen to the whole thing again from another recordings perspective. Also, as predicted, looking up Beethoven's 9th in iTunes gets you lots of hits for Beethoven the composer untill you scroll down to the movie section. Edit: if anyone could recommend a good recording of it I would be grateful too!
  18. Weird Medical Shit

    Is it just on the edge if your right collar bone near the middle of your chest. If then we are totes weird medical shit twins.
  19. I Had A Random Thought...

    I'm waiting for my takeaway and there is an antiques auction going on across the road. Kinda want to go in and buy something random and sexy from the early 1900s.
  20. Feminism

    @Louis_CK_Comedy: If someone makes a racist/sexist joke, say, with total seriousness, “I don’t get it, can you explain it” Then watch them crash & burn. They made us read Emma in my all boys secondary school. Oh the humanity.
  21. Weird Medical Shit

    Me too, but I usually cull it around 2 inches. Also, I have a single long hair that grows from my forehead directly above the errant eyebrow. Also, one nose hair that grows more than any of the other.
  22. Feminism

    Sometimes it's a simple as telling your friends that their woman driver jokes are for jerks. Sometimes it's as simple as joining a twitter campaign to have women represented on banknotes better. And sometimes it takes getting shot in the head, surviving and then touring the world spreading the message that girls deserve and education too. Nobody expects you to go through the last one, but the first two are within the reach of anyone. Also, protests have always gotten people arrested, what's new there?! Edit: ugh, and can we try to stop sending such gross music to the top of the charts.
  23. I Had A Random Thought...

    Milk is an excellent source of many good things for kids (and children, calves and other mammal younglings too!). Please don't deprive them based on non scientific conjecture.
  24. iOS Gaming

    It's not a game, but Lord Cremo twittered about the Beethoven 9 app. It is amazing! So amazing. I have a huge crush on Leonard Bernstein now as well. Also, loving iOS 7 unexpectedly. The safari update especially.
