Hyphenation


Rework your copy, people, instead of hyphenating over the whole book.

The Chicago Manual of Style 15e


Dust jacket from and God how I hate dust jackets. But wait... there at the bottom of the inside blurb...

Hell Hath No Limits


Nor is circumscrib'd.
In one self place; for where we are is hell,
And where hell is there must we ever be:

Yes, Mr William, take your rose by any other name and put it. Am I alone in thinking "circumscrib'd" is a Milton word? I know, I know but it is.

The Antibiotics Are Done


Hurray.

The New Local Junior Minister's Election Promise


Scumbag promised to resurface the footpath. In fairness he was prompt but still this is as shoddy a job as they come. Thanks for nothing, Mr Kelleher. See if you can top it with the yellow box you promised. On one level, I admire the irony in the subverted clientism. But this isn't even a joke. Pathetic.

Umm... Fire


And transfixed in the pub. But that's for other reasons.

Or Is It Tomas Mulcahy?



It's Micheal Martin Dressed As A Cop



It's Going To Be The New Dunnes


Says the old woman behind me. Joy. The whole city looks like this, though. And it's not all going to be the new Dunnes. As far as I can tell, anyways.

It's Raining


No, it's hammering down. Much easier to sleep in though.

It's Just Like Anywhere Else


And it is so boring.

But At Least There Is Always Post Offices.


With fantastic shiny brass letter boxes.

... Doesn't Go Into This.


Sigh. Silly identical boxes with different stickers. And silly drugged up CompSki.

Because This...



But Thank Goodness For Water.


Anyhow, this has to in back today because i'm am idiot. (But c'mon it's a robot girl on the box. It's so sad it's tragedy.)

Not a Shadow Unfortunately.


My blood stained tongue. But at least it's pretty much stopped. Two days of painkillers to go.

The Pain Medication


Is Ponstan and Tradol. This is some kind of joke. Blasted drug regulation boards. You know prolonged use of alcohol will damage your liver too and you don't see then trying to remove that from the market.

Would really like to stop spitting blood soon.

Odyssey Transport


Not quite a ship but it will do for the urban waterways.

Teeth Are Ick


And if only I could stop spitting blood too. Very Joycean day.

I gave the dentist the old line about how much do I get for one of these because I think he's never heard it before. And the answer is he gets €150. Still... He did have to work pretty hard for it.

And what was it like? Like pulling teeth actually. (Sorry... I'm in pain. The least you can do is live with my bad jokes.) But no, it was suprisingly good. I've had filling that have hurt more.

Now, on to the pain medication. :)

Happy Bloomsday


Dentist is getting his tooth off me today in exchange for a bucket of drugs. Going to be a great Bloomsday. I can't feel my tongue.

I Love my New Screensaver


But not the getting it on Windows bit. Deep breath.

It's Not Wind Turbines that Ruin the Countryside



This Light Fixture was Fascination for Some Reason


It's a pity about incandesent lightbulbs. They can be really pretty sometimes. I don't think the energy efficient ones are ever going to make me stop in awe anytime.

Because Some People Need to be Told


Nasty nasty place. But what were they thinking with this washbasin in a men's washroom?

House of Cards



Awful Weather


How am I supposed to sleep in this heat? When I can't open a window for all the happy screaming children. Like their existance is confirmed only by preventing my sleep. Get a philosophy book, kids. And leave the mean old man to his daytime sleep.

Supermarkets are Silly



101 Reykjavik


The book is pretty interestingly not what I figured after the film. The same done differently and I haven't read enough to know if the screenplay was so completely off the wall. Curious.

Wow. Because that was a shock.


And I never saw it coming from three seasons away.
