So many distractions!
I’ve been trying to work as much as possible coming up to the start of my exams this Thursday. There’s so much stuff! And it really hasn’t been helped by my excessive spending recently. I was in Scalini’s on Wednesday with the sci-fi society which was pretty good, though not quite up to the standard…

A Cabinet of Curiosities
I know I said the blog would be suspended for the time being, but I was in a bad place last week, and I now wish to retract my statement. I simply can’t not write! (please forgive the double negative). Last week I attended a lecture along with my dad at the F. E. McWilliam…

Easter is over, and now a slight haitus
My Easter has been all over the place this year, even though I’ve managed to stay within the confines of this little country. I’ve been back and forward from Belfast for driving lessons, my test, revision, and meeting up with friends (and Northern Ireland Fencing, of course). I’ve also been doing a spot of fence…

Productive procrastination
Another busy week, which is becoming the norm these days. There’s always so much going on between university, fencing, filmmaking, plotting and fixing computers. And my driving test is now safely behind me, as of Wednesday, and I’ve never felt better. My posts seem to be getting later and later as time goes on, but…

REwind: Issue One – New Old Beginnings
I’m taking a break from the usual stuff to write about something rather different, which I’m also quite interested in. I’ll be back with a normal post next week. The story so far – I was discussing blogs with my friend, who had expressed interest in writing a tech blog, which got me thinking about…

Recovery
It has been another busy weekend, not really aided by the fact I was incredibly sleep deprived after Thursday night. I said I would have an update, but there wasn’t anything happening at the time after the first one on Friday morning, but I can summarise things now after the experience. It went pretty well,…

Sleeping Rough
The title really says it all. Along with some friends, I’m sleeping rough in front of Belfast city hall, all in aid of raising homelessness awareness. It’s organised by Homed Belfast, and queen’s students are out in droves to support the cause. Let me tell you, it is pretty damn cold out here, and it…

Rediscovery
I love rediscovering Belfast. Day in, day out, I walk the same roads. The same routes. To get to the same destination. Thursday was a different day, as I had some free time after class for a change. My first destination, along with two friends from my class, was the GAME store in Donegal Square.…

The desk
For the first time in a number of months, I’m back at my own black glass desk, using the computer once left here by my brother a number of years ago. Once again, I’m typing on my IBM Model M keyboard, the classic clicky beast. Unfortunately I haven’t been getting as much use out of…

I demand satisfaction!
Yes, I am now equipped to duel with my new rapier! It’s strange, but I always imagine swords as elegant, light weapons, whereas the reality is that they are heavy monsters. Even the rapier, one of the lightest swords, is hefty enough. I can’t imagine having to fence with it for any amount of time.…
