Interesting Games
Games have taken a backseat to work at the moment, but I have stumbled across a few interesting titles I would like to get into. Octodad: Dadliest Catch What a peculiar game. Made originally by a group of students from DePaul university, you play a man who, unbeknownst to his wife and children, is a…

Eight till eight
Sunday working was only the beginning of my long working week. Monday was a marathon of a day which had me busy from 8 am right through to 8 pm, and I spent the next day recovering. The good news is that I finally have data! Not that I’ve actually analysed it, but I’m happy…

Sunday Working
I find myself in the Batcave (my shared office with a PhD student, Seamus) on a quiet Sunday afternoon, contemplating lab work and life in general, and how I seem to be lacking time to write anything as of late. Things have been fairly busy, but I can barely recollect what I have been spending…

Rings and More
It was my sister’s birthday on Saturday, and since she is obsessed with equine matters, I thought the best idea was to make a pony cake. I bought a cake pan from Wilton, and made a half vanilla-half chocolate cake to fill it, just because I have no experience in cake carving and didn’t want…

My top games of 2013
I have loved almost all of the games I played in 2013. Some have become favourites, but others failed to live up to their reputation. I am not the greatest follower of trends, so the games I played this year may not necessarily be current, and don’t expect any sort of sports or driving games.…

Wrapping up 2013
What happened to the year? It seems like no time at all since I was following around pathologists in Altnagelvin back in January, or on the wards in the city hospital, bothering patients. The summer flew by; undoubtedly because I spent most of it in the labs. Time is a funny thing. I can remember…

The Year in Review (Not my year, but a year according to WordPress)
Yes, a new year is upon us, and we must painstakingly change all the tiles in the terrible fixed calendar; a calendar that is so useless, I might add, that it requires another calendar to be correctly set. The big news here is a “three” changing to a “four”, haunting those completing important forms at…

Christmas Eve
Everything is set. The turkey is brining, the trifle is assembled, the parsnips and potatoes are thoroughly “gratin-ed”, the sauces are mainly made, and the ham is baked. Oh, and the sourdough bread is baked. It has been a busy day, with lots of cooking and cleaning, but Christmas day is almost upon us. Or…

So this is Christmas…2013
This year has been a mixed one as far as writing is concerned. It feels as though I haven’t had the same time, though in reality, I haven’t made the time that I would have before. There has been lots of other fun stuff going on, but the blog has fallen behind somewhat. Add to…

Papers, Please…just no essays
Writing, for me, has become exactly what I was trying to avoid. A chore. This semester has been a lot busier than I expected. Who ever said a Masters was supposed to be hard work? Three 3,000 word essays, two presentations, and long lab days in between, and my project is yet to yield any…
