The First Writing Challenge!
After watching the Double Fine Adventure documentary, I have been inspired somewhat. I’ve been inspired to write more often and to try and write about anything and everything. It seems to be the best way to access all of the ideas tucked away into the far reaches of my mind, and so far, it is…

Baking and Filmmaking
Summer is a strange time of the year for me. I started this blog in the summer of 2011, and at that stage I was posting up every couple of days, but I’ve been struggling to write anything at all recently. When I do start something, I end up getting distracted with other work, and…

An Awful Long Way to Offaly
You may have realised by now that I do a lot of things (I won’t include a list here, I’ve tried before but there’s a lot to list.) Not that I am particularly skilled in those areas, but I love trying new things, particularly if they involve things I can eat or drink. Nothing beats…

Blue skies and White Coats
As I was walking back from the hospital in the muggy weather in far too heavy clothes, and with a far too heavy bag, I encountered a rather odd bunch of people. They didn’t look vastly different from you or I, the difference was in their clothing. Something rather peculiar was printed on the back,…

Holidays and so on
I have been lazy. Lazy and busy. Exactly how lazy I’ve been compared to how busy I have been is up for debate, but the general gist is that I either haven’t had much time, or I’ve been out of the country. I did not even get a chance to wrap-up my little bit on…

Q-Con: Friday and Saturday
I eventually made it into Q-Con, long after the Halo 4 tournament, the one tournament I would have been interested in joining, had finished and the short films had been screened. The short film competition was quite possibly the worst advertised aspect of the weekend and in a bad place from a time perspective, as…

Q-Con XX
Q-Con XX is here, and officially commenced at 5pm GMT. Q-Con is the annual gaming convention held by QUB Dragonslayers, the gaming society, and the convention is the largest in Ireland. So, was I in the midst of the hubbub and excitement of the event? No, I was not. I was hanging curtains, in Magheralin,…

Unboxing the Nook Simple Touch, sheep shearing, and more
I should have posted the first part earlier in the week, as I got the Barnes and Noble Nook Simple Touch e-reader on Tuesday and have been using it profusely since. I am well into Under the Dome, by Stephen King, which is a pretty awesome book. He is probably going to be my author…

The end of exams
J’ai fini, mes amis Exams are over, and I am once again free! Free to sit and do nothing, and to enjoy my time off, though so far things have been busy enough. Sarah came back home with me for a few days, and we baked a coffee cake for mum’s birthday and father’s day,…

Half way there
Welcome back again, for a long overdue post. And what a day it has been! Who knew Northern Irish weather could be quite this good. By this stage, I will have probably been out cutting grass and kayaking on the river – all of the usual fair weather activities. Another exam down too, and now…
