It’s been a pretty bad day. I woke up with a fever and both ears blocked. The only things I can really hear right now are my heartbeat and my breathing and it is somewhere between disturbing and disgusting. I had to cancel plans to go see Brideshead Revisited with tickets I won for free [...]

Weekend Review

Very quiet weekend around here. Larry came home with the sniffles on Thursday and, except for a slightly snuffly nose, that was it for him. I, on the other hand, took the worst of it. By Friday I knew I had a cold so I didn’t do much, but when I woke up on Saturday [...]

Beth, you seem a little neurotic about your To Do lists. What exactly are on them?
Oh question asker, when will you learn? The better question would have been what is NOT on them. But ask you did, so I will answer with an example. Here’s my list from yesterday:
- TK Title 1 (deadline Friday)
- TK Title [...]
BlackBerry Bonanza

Young Robert got himself a BlackBerry, which now means I can IM him at any time of day and receive “on the street” style photographs as he wanders NYC day in and day out. Yesterday’s shot made me laugh out loud.
As did the accompanying message:
“This is as subtle a picture I could get without asking [...]
Things To Do Today

Because I am my father’s daughter, at the end of each day I write a to do list for the next day. I take great joy in crossing things off these lists. I don’t just tick off the things I’ve done, but cross them out in one of two ways. If I really did the thing [...]

Just wait until they all start laughing. You can’t not join in.

Great weekend here in Eire!
I started mine early on Friday when I met Liz for lunch. We laughed, we bitched, no one cried. It was pretty much perfect. Then I wandered home via the newsagent and spent the afternoon reading magazines. Larry and I got a take away, watched Jonathan Ross and that was that.
On [...]

It seems we have some students who have moved in below us.
Exchange students.
American exchange students.
American exchange students who sing the wrong words to Danny Boy at 5am.
American exchange students who sing the wrong words to Danny Boy at 5am, and then get into an argument about the right words with Swedish exchange students at 5:15am.

Death By Duvet

Remember how I said that we were cleaning out the apartment and getting rid of all the stuff we’d been storing for years for no good reason?
Yesterday I went and got a bedspread to replace the duvet that we’d been unhappily using for quite some time. The duvet was hot and we didn’t sleep well [...]

Could you please tell me if you find Dublin to be a safe city?
Sure. Personally, I do find Dublin to be a relatively safe city. Of course this could be coloured by the fact that I live smack in the middle of a triangle comprised of two police stations and an army barracks, but I’ve [...]
