Weeknotes #595-601: Watt, Walking, Writing and More Sun 24 Mar 2013
Where to start? February began, as I wrote last time, with my interview with punk rock legend, and my musical hero, Mike Watt. You can read the whole thing here on Thumped if you’ve got a spare half-hour. I...
Weeknotes #584-594 Tue 05 Feb 2013
A busy December — plus a mostly sickness-free Xmas — ploughed into a busy January, and February’s already shaping up to be equally packed. Not that I’m complaining. This month I’m working on a feature that could well be my...
Weeknotes #574-583 Tue 20 Nov 2012
Not much of an autumn this year; winter came hot (or rather the opposite) on summer’s heels, and now that the clocks have gone back the days have gone black. Bummer. At least I’m getting some writing done: lots of...
Weeknotes #551-573: Productivity Special Sun 02 Sep 2012
Seeing as how it was Blog Day the other day, I thought it’d be a good idea to tidy up this post I’ve had in the works for a number of weeks: a behind-the-scenes ‘productivity special’, if you will....
Weeknotes #533-550 Thu 29 Mar 2012
The first quarter of the year’s almost done and there’s so much I haven’t written here. I’m well overdue a catch-up, I know. This one may be brief, but it’s better than nothing. The highlights: Hitting the four stone mark...
Weeknotes #526-532 Sun 04 Dec 2011
I should probably start calling these Monthnotes, shouldn’t I? Anyway, let’s review the last few weeks. The highlights: Michael D winning the presidency, even though I voted for Norris / Seeing The Silence of the Lambs for the first time...
Weeknotes #517-525 Sun 23 Oct 2011
So August flowed into September into October, and I have little to report. Such is life. The highlights: David O’Doherty at Vicar Street / Ruins Alone at The Twisted Pepper / Dava Sobel at the Science Gallery / Dinner at...

Thanks to Twitter for helping me remember the following: 4/7 — I find a hole torn in the back of favorite plaid shirt. Annoyed. Proper, durable (non-fashiony) plaid shirts are hard to come by round these parts. Later in the...

Eleven weeks, eh? Feels both much longer than that and no time at all. Let’s check the calendar and see what I’ve been up to… – April closed out nicely with Knut and Keelhaul playing a free show at the...

Some highlights (and lowlights) of the past few weeks: – My commute to work in the mornings takes me over the old Broadstone rail line, of which only the trackbed remains. I’ve got a thing for disused rail lines (maybe...

A whole month has gone by! What have I been up to? In the middle of February, Bee and I paid a visit to IMMA to catch the last day of The Moderns. It was portrayed as an exploration of...

Fed up with the Wii Balance Board’s fluctuating readings – and the time spent getting through the menus in Wii Fit – I’ve bought a proper doctor’s weighing scales so I can keep better track of what I’m losing (or...
Weeknotes #481-482 Sun 30 Jan 2011
Looking back over the last two weeks, I find two prevailing themes: reviewing the past, and predicting the future. The past I’ve already alluded to in my first Blogfodder link dump. Some of those links are nearly eight years old,...
Weeknotes #480 Mon 17 Jan 2011
I’ve been ploughing through The Creation Records Story over the past few days. By now I’m at the stage where my interest is trailing off – I can’t stand Oasis – but that’s only the last couple of hundred pages;...
Weeknotes #478-479 Mon 10 Jan 2011
Everything gets back to normal a little too quickly post-Xmas, don’t you think? Little to report from Week 478. No big New Year’s Eve partying for us, just lunch at Nando’s and adding to our puppet collection. Seriously – The...
Weeknotes #477 Sun 26 Dec 2010
The pre-Christmas rush to the shops was all the more intense this year due to an extra blanketing of snow, and the infrastructural craziness that came with it. Lucky for us we’d done the majority of our shopping in the...
Weeknotes #475-476 Mon 20 Dec 2010
Monday — Train is quick into town this morning. Getting home takes longer, however; these icy pavements are frustrating me no end. Tuesday — I finally get around to watching Aguirre, Wrath of God only to find the DVR missed...
Weeknotes #474 Sun 05 Dec 2010
Monday — Another day working from home, as I twist my ankle heading out the door. On the plus side, home is much warmer than the office. But my ankle’s sore, the backs of my legs hurt, that weird malaise...
Weeknotes #473 Tue 30 Nov 2010
Monday — Dublin Bus is really pissing me off. Missing buses on the 37 in the morning and afternoon, and bad traffic on the 39 in Blanchardstown means it takes me nearly two hours to get home. I thought this...
Weeknotes #472 Tue 23 Nov 2010
Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday — First two days of this week are a write-off. Wednesday I’m up earlyish, cold still getting me down. I briefly flirt with the idea of going out to the shops. But then I remember the Tesco delivery guy...
