  • Sports and More!

    What a sporting weekend we have in Ireland! The rugby team doing the Grand Slam and winning the championship and triple crown and bernard Dunne winning a World Title – not that I’m a fan of boxing, can’t see why anyone would want to bash the living daylights out of someone else for a living but each to their own!

    Damien McGrane, a childhood friend came 3rd in the Medeira Open Golf and Liverpool won 5-0 ! Excellent!

    18 Days to the new baseball Season too! Think the Giants may just be in with a chance this year! They have a decent starting rotation!

    It was also Mothers Day here so I had a nice lunch with my parents and saw my new niece for the first time. She’s 2 months already – I’m a bad aunt!

  • Overload

    What a week! It’s all busy busy and this weekend wasn’t any different. I attended a two day training/seminar with Larry Jordan who told us all about Final Cut Pro and all that surrounds it.. Really interesting. www.larryjordan.biz Two eight hour days on a Saturday and Sunday though kinda make my head sore! Need a days sleep! and some time to let all the information sink into my little head!

    I’ve added two pages.. Writings and Remediation… just bits and bobs I write that you might like to read, like my Little piece on Pere Lechaise, Paris  and a 1500 word essay on Remediation: From The Printing Press to Blogging.. any comments are welcome. Would love to hear opinions on this. The more I read on the subject the more interested I become. I think Henry Jenkins is one very clued in man! Read the essay and check out this blog! www.henryjenkins.org

    This week is Rag Week in college and DCUFm is on air.. should be good – I may also be doing an interview this week with DJ Flip and Stretch from Foreign Legion (Oakland, CA, USA) who are about to go on a European Tour! Stretch has the coolest SF Giants hat I had ever seen!  Which reminds me that Spring Training isn’t too far away! I can feel my insomnia kicking in!

  • Ho Ho Ho!

    So this is the time that I hate – you know the time between Christmas and New Year, when it’s not quite either but its still holiday time? To hell with that ! I spent this afternoon doing some work!

    Went to see Mr Luhrmann’s Australia yesterday – really enjoyed it.. Although its quite an epic western genre based movie, Mr Luhrmann has still managed to throw his own quirks in there!  Wouldn’t be a fan of The Wizard of Oz at all but he threw some nice references in there.. but its almost too obvious that he has agreed to direct Wicked !?!

    So the Giants have signed the Big Unit! Randy is going to the Bay Area for a one year contract! It will be interesting to see what happens next season…
