Writing and Super Meat Boy
Writing never used to be something I found difficult. When I first started this blog I was posting every day during Gamescom 2011. Following that I still posted every other day for a good while. Recently I’ve been finding it difficult to set aside the time to just sit down and write, and always seem…

Illness does not become me…
I hate being sick. I try to be as productive as I can in everyday life, and I particularly loathe losing an entire free day. On the eve of Halloween, through the fault of Gucci Chip on the Lisburn road or some other nefarious mechanism, I ended up with food poisoning/gastroenteritis, and I was out…

Games, Mixers, and Mountain Biking
This week marked the end of my geriatric medicine placement in the Ulster hospital, and after a grim group work session, I couldn’t be happier to see the back of it. I am a pretty tolerant person by most accounts but I have my limits, and there are some people that I cannot deal with…

Memories
Just like that, a whole month passed in no time at all. My brother left for Oregon with his wife and son this morning, and all is quiet again at home. This one’s for you guys! Last night was an opportunity to reminisce and look at old photos albums, comparing the new generation Douglas with the…

The Thesis Completion Scenario
Damn, this has been quite the hiatus. This week has been the first in a while I have been able to do nothing (or very little), and I’ve been making the most (or least) of it. Writing has been relatively low priority recently, but I shall make my return into the blogosphere, little by little.…

Still talking about London, and I’m in business!
I can’t believe London was over a week ago – time is flying by so quickly this summer. As usual, almost all of my time has been spent writing my thesis. It is starting to come together after many hours, but there is still a lot of work to be done. Back to London! I ended…

A Whirlwind London Adventure
I’m back, and exhausted. It was a busy few days in the capital, though a welcome break from the drudgery of thesis writing. The Pathology Summer School was the central reason for my visit, and was definitely worthwhile. The Summer School was held in the Royal College of Pathologists HQ, overlooking the Mall (the drive…

Nodnol, 0 selim
And like many great things, my Londonian adventure began on the steps of the Albert Memorial, overlooking the Royal Albert Hall. Though that isn’t entirely true. It began when the plane landed in Heathrow, and I made my way onto the Underground. The modern, smooth-riding trains don’t have quite the same charm as the rickety-rackety old…

The Zoo (Condensed)
I’m picking up where I left off with the mortuary. An odd start to the day for most people, but I seem to gravitate towards weird situations. It was a beautiful day, sunny and in the mid-twenties – a stark contrast to the chill of the mortuary. The brief summer we get in this country…

First the morgue…then the zoo
This is getting bad. I was writing this post to address my problem with procrastination when it comes to the subject of writing, but I have successfully put it off for another week. I’ll try this again – see below for what I wanted to say last week: I should be writing non-stop over summer,…
