The Long Walk Wed 27 Mar 2002
I did it. I walked from Howth, over the hill, to my house. I don't know how far it is, but I'm sure it's more than six, probably less...
Talent Draft Tue 26 Mar 2002
The WWF talent draft was last night, I forgot to check the results when I got home this morning. I dunno, I'm very suspicious. I'm not sure if it's...
Chalk One Off Tue 26 Mar 2002
You know what? I still can't believe I went to WrestleMania this year. It's like my life-long dreams and ambitions are being fulfilled too quickly....
Leggo My Eggo! Tue 26 Mar 2002
It's 5:30am. I just got home a little while ago, toasted myself some chocolate chip Eggo waffles (is that where 'Leggo My Eggo!' comes from?). It was good getting...
Jello Biafra Sells Out Mon 25 Mar 2002
Oh my God. Was I dreaming or did I just see Jello Biafra on the Oscars? The bastard sold out!...
Iron Chef Sun 24 Mar 2002
I knew there was something I missed while I was in Canada - Iron Chef! I even had access to the Food Network and everything! Doh!...
Gaea Girls Sat 23 Mar 2002
While I'm on the subject of wrestling, last night BBC 2 broadcast Gaea Girls, a supposed documentary following the trials and tribulations of a young woman trying to break...
Namesake Sat 23 Mar 2002
Ratcatcher is on BBC 2 right now. I wonder if William Eadie, who plays the film's main protagonist, realises that he shares his name with Ax of Demolition....
Friday Five #10 Sat 23 Mar 2002
http://fridayfive.org/ 1. What is your favorite time of year? I don't know really. I like the summer when it's not humid, but when it is humid I despise it....
Life Returns to Normal (and Other Random Observations) Sat 23 Mar 2002
I was supposed to post this yesterday evening, but just didn't get around to it: Friday afternoon now. The jetlag didn't hit me too bad, but I was in...
Last Day In Toronto Wed 20 Mar 2002
Today is my last day in Toronto. My flight to London is at 9:40pm tonight. If I'm really lucky at Heathrow, I might get back to Dublin sometime just...
Two Days Left Tue 19 Mar 2002
It's just gone 10am here. I'm gonna shower, grab a bite to eat and head downtown for the afternoon. I've got some shopping to do, and maybe a few...
Tza-Tzac Poster Boy Tue 19 Mar 2002
There's a photo of me taken on the Toronto subway on the front page of Tza-Tzac.com. I had had a few drinks by then - it was St.Paddy's Day...
More On the Weekend Mon 18 Mar 2002
Oh, and while I'm here: Yes, I did actually make it downtown without any hassle on Friday evening. Met up with Ethan and met some of his friends and...
...And You Will Know Them By the Trail of Broken Glass Mon 18 Mar 2002
I am very hung over right now, but I must post some stuff before I forget it. I went with Ryan to the ...And You Will Know Us By...
WrestleMania Observations Mon 18 Mar 2002
Some observations on last night's WrestleMania: Even though it took nearly an hour to get into the place (we missed Sunday Night Heat as a result; got to our...
Five Hours Behind Fri 15 Mar 2002
My posts are still in GMT; I forgot it was so late back home. I had a weird morning today, woke up really early (body clock probably still on...
I Feel Like an Idiot Fri 15 Mar 2002
I've got to head downtown in about 90 minutes to meet Ethan. This is where the whole 'fish out of water' takes over; unfamiliarity breeds anxiety in me. Our...
Friday Five #9 Fri 15 Mar 2002
http://fridayfive.org/ 1. What's your favorite animal? Dogs. Besides the ape family, they are the most anthropomorphic of animals. 2. What pets have you had in your lifetime? Without going...
Oh Canada! Fri 15 Mar 2002
Well, here I am in Canada! The guys are at work so I've got the place to myself for a few hours. Found a cool, really early Corrosion Of...
Au Revoir Wed 13 Mar 2002
Well, this is it, my final post before I head off to Canada, and most likely my final post till I return next week. Oooh I'm so excited! North...
Chasing The Dragon Tue 12 Mar 2002
It suddenly dawned on me today why there's a menagerie of film-related vehicles in the tennis club car park down the road from my house: they're filming Chasing the...
Kill... Everyone? Sun 10 Mar 2002
I hate to rain on these guys' parade - since I do abide by the theory that 90% of the world's population are idiots - but if we were...
The Fastest Ambulance Response Times in the World Sat 09 Mar 2002
This seems absurd to me. I mean, I understand the sentiment and of course I would like to see a resolution to all of this (don't we all?), but...
Tom the Dancing Bug Sat 09 Mar 2002
Today's edition of Tom the Dancing Bug just arrived in my inbox, and - of course - it's a good one. Granted, Tom is often quite acidic and extremely...
Friday Five #8 Fri 08 Mar 2002
http://fridayfive.org/ 1. What makes you homesick? Just being away. It takes me a little while to adjust to a new place, even if I'm just there for a few...
Referendum Results Thu 07 Mar 2002
The results of the abortion referendum were announced this afternoon: 50.42% voted 'no', so the constitution will not be amended. I'm glad. I voted (if I can, I always...
The Holy Web Wed 06 Mar 2002
Seven years go by and the Catholic Church finally catches on to the whole internet hoo-ha. 'Tis a crying shame I know too much to listen to what they...
Ultimate Pro Wrestling Sun 03 Mar 2002
If you happen to be into wrestling, especially the indie scene, Ultimate Pro Wrestling has an excellent selection of archived shows....
Britain Does Good Television Sun 03 Mar 2002
These shenanigans are just more proof that if you want good television, you have to go to Britain to get it. American television is a solely commerical enterprise; it...
Haven't I Seen This Before? Sat 02 Mar 2002
If you're a fan of The Simpsons, does anything about this episode strike you as familiar? .... Just think a few series back, and substitute alcohol for sugar....

Tools keeps getting better and better. One of the latest additions is a link to Gnod, which I'm playing around with now....
