I really haven’t been up to much this week, but last night a couple of us went out to celebrate my mate Christine’s birthday. We went to a new restaurant called Fat Buddha which is on the Lisburn Road in Belfast. In the pic above are Veronica (who I had not seen in AAAAAAGGGGES), Christine [...]

The DJing gig I blogged about a while ago has unfortunately had to be postponed until later this year, so don’t turn up!

Well I’m back from Dallas, after a full 15 hours of travelling. I don’t mind flying really - I was lucky enough to be upgraded on my flight out to Dallas, and was able to experience American Airlines‘ new and enhanced Business Class offering - basically nicer tasting food, a duvet instead of a blanket, [...]

I don’t usually fancy girls with tattoos. I prefer my ladies ‘au naturel’. I don’t mean naked by that. Although obviously there’s nothing wrong with them naked, in fact… erm… well you know what I mean.
Anyway, this photo was in a magazine here in Dallas, one of those free listings / out and about magazines. [...]

I was going to say trivia questions would be good, but according to the picture above it looks like they’ve already thought [...]

My sister Ailse got a new laptop this week - her first Mac, a Macbook. I’ve had a Mac for a while now, so I helped her set it up with some stuff that I think is pretty useful, but which you might not know about if you’ve just got your first Mac. Here’s what [...]

Well not that much to be honest! I have been going to the shops quite a bit, buying quite a lot of clothes, and just chilling out and relaxing. On Thursday night I had a family birthday night at my favourite restaurant in Dallas - Taverna. I love it! But my Mum hates it because [...]

Well after our flight being delayed because of 90mph winds and then having to be diverted over Scotland (not exactly en route!) I am in Dallas this week. The weather isn’t really great here either. Since getting here though, I have learnt three things…..
1. Here you can buy things that cut your hair while you [...]

I watched a brilliant documentary film last night called The Devil and Daniel Johnston. It’s about an artist / musician, who is obviously extremely talented, but who’s hindered by being a manic depressive.
The film tells the story of Daniel’s life basically - from his childhood in West Virginia, to time spent in the mid-80s in [...]
