  Asbestos – the wonder material of the future, yesterday!

  “Gasp! The horror! Asbestos!”  they cry, as the ordinary decent folk look on in disbelief. “Surely asbestos is the worst thing since satan?”. Well, actually things are not as clear cut as they seem here, and we shouldn’t be so quick to dismiss the fibres as another one of humanity’s terrible mistakes; of which there…

  No room at the inn

  I sit here alone, in a spare room in the nurses home in Altnagelvin Area Hospital, contemplating what I did wrong to end up in this situation. As I suspected prior to my arrival, there was no room allocated for me, even though all students placed here are supposed to be given rooms without booking…

  Huh…Metal Gear?!

  I sit here with my family, in front of a roaring fire, in quiet contemplation, and enjoying having a night off from hosting guests. Since the eve of Christmas eve, we have had people over visiting, which entailed non-stop cooking, cleaning and entertaining. It is always nice to see everyone, but there comes a time…

  A game review?! Not really

  There was no real post last weekend, just a general commentary on life and death. I did not feel inspired to write anything interesting or whimsical, it just didn’t seem appropriate in my mind at that time. Another new week though, and life goes on. Another good week of ENT in Altnagelvin, though things were…

  Movie night, and a burning desire for fudge…

  Don’t judge a book by its cover. The dishevelled looking crazy person on the bus; the one hunched over in his seat, looking at the ground and rummaging through his bags is not, in fact, insane. He is actually an intelligent being who looks exhausted because he sprinted up the road after this bus, which…

  Beautiful weather…shame about the exams

  I love this weather! Sun splitting the trees, the streets crowded with happy people, the option to leave the house without carrying a coat or jumper. My phone captured it pretty well. It was the busiest I’ve seen the city centre in a good while. Everything about it is fantastic, and best of all 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.…

  Despite what you may believe…It’s still Friday

  Hello again, for the second time today. Thankfully I survived the train, and I’m hear to bring you my news, as I watch the engadget show on my media centre (which remains nameless, and is still working well). The week has been busy as usual, but still pretty good. Firefly viewing resumed, and we almost…

  It’s Friday

  As you will have figured out from the title, and possibly just existing in general, it is indeed Friday. That being the case, I am excited, but not enough to write a song about it. But we’ll see what happens. I’m currently writing on the train on my way back home, so forgive me if…

  Filming once again

  Things are good, but pretty busy at the moment. Monday night was the camcorder club as usual, but instead of a talk by a member, we had to judge films entered into an inter-club competition (best of clubs). If that was the best all of those camcorder clubs could do, I’d damn well hate to…
