I buy a lot of clothes from Abercrombie and Hollister when I’m in the US, and Abercombie is on its way to the UK soon, but until then, us Brits have Jack Wills - it’s probably the closest thing we have to Abercrombie, with a bit of a British twist (rugby shirts and the like). [...]

If you’re a fan of Dick & Dom in da Bungalow, you may be interested to know about a charity event taking place this Sunday in London - a Bungalow theatre show! It’s all in aid of the International Myeloma Foundation (UK). I was chatting to someone involved today and it sounds like it will [...]

Well I was thinking I haven’t posted in a week, but it’s really because I haven’t been up to that much - I’ve just been chilling at the weekend, and working during the week. I’ve been boring! But it’s nice to kick back and relax every now and then. The only thing of remote interest [...]

I was checking out MTV when I was in Dallas, and heard a brilliant track called “Let You Go” by some bloke called Ashley Parker Angel (bit of a suss name that). Anyway, I did a bit of digging and found out that it is actually that guy Ashley who was in the MTV Making [...]

I must admit to be very excited when I saw this! Basically McDonald’s are running an international competition where the prize is a photoshoot in London (bit boring that bit), but you get your face on McDonald’s bags around the world! All you have to do is upload a pic and write a story [...]

So once I’d got Airtunes all sorted out (see previous post), I started fiddling around with iTunes, and decided to look for a new and more interesting visualizer. Visualizers are the changing patterns that you can switch on to play on the screen whilst music is playing (Windows Media Player has them too).
Anyway, I found [...]

So, now I’m back in Belfast, i’ve been sorting out my flat, and one of the things I did was to get wireless Internet access working in my flat for my Mac AND my old PC (which I keep for the program we use to script at work).
The next thing I did was to set [...]

My wee sister is a massive Death Cab for Cutie Fan, so she bought tickets for the two of us to go and see them and support act Franz Ferdinand at the Nokia Theater, just outside Dallas. I didn’t know what to expect really as I didn’t know Death Cab’s music, and I’d never been [...]

I’m a fan of weird soft drink flavours (like this one) and I love Dr Pepper, so when I saw this Berries & Cream variety I just had to give it a go - and it was totally delicious and refreshing - if a bit weird. You could taste Dr Pepper, raspberries and cream all [...]
