Announcement

This plan is yet in its infancy, but as of a few hours ago I fully intend to apply to the CAO in the coming days so that I may begin a law degree in UCC next year. I’m not sure if that’s even possible, given that I’m committed to finishing my Arts degree next [...]

‘Me & The Minibar’

And now, to suit my mood, here’s some suitably melancholic music from the magnificent Dresden Dolls Merry Christmas.
Spoof Clinton Ad

Not that it’s all that far removed from reality, given the Clinton campaign’s recent shenanigans.
Mike Huckabee
Posted on December 19, 2007 - Filed Under American Politics | 1 Comment
According to some polls, Mike Huckabee is now the national front-runner in the Republican primary field. If he manages to win the GOP nomination he is expected to go down in flames in the presidential election, but there would remain the distinct possibility that he could somehow win it, either through the Democratic nomination imploding [...]
The Big Come Down

Such a great song…
One More Video

‘Island in the Sun’ This is the last YouTube clip I’ll post for a while. I was listening to the Green Album earlier today, and this got jammed in my head, so posting it here is probably the best way of getting it back out. It’s a great video, but needless to say, it would [...]
A Note of Clarification to a Friend

This band is the Blood Brothers, they do not regularly play in the Cork Opera House, and your parents almost certainly do not like them. ‘Laser Life’
Echo & The Bunnymen

Considering that the last two albums I got were by the electronically inclined Blaqk Audio (they’re not dance music!) and the rap artist (it feels weird writing that) Saul Williams, this is kind of a return to form. You might recognise the song from the start of Donnie Darko. ‘The Killing Moon’
Definiton of Retribution
Posted on December 11, 2007 - Filed Under Philosophy | Leave a Comment
I have no idea why, but for some reason I really like the way this reads: retribution |ˌretrəˈbyoō sh ən| noun Punishment that is considered to be morally right and fully deserved. Taken from the Oxford American Dictionary on my MacBook. (This post does not carry a ‘deeper meaning’. Just saying, lest anyone draw that [...]
Philosopher Lawyer
Posted on December 10, 2007 - Filed Under Philosophy | 10 Comments
This idea occurred to me while watching Harvey Birdman Attorney at Law, so it probably isn’t very good. Still though, wouldn’t someone with a degree in philosophy make a very decent lawyer? Law is all about arguing, and what better teaches one about how to argue than years of studying arguments and writing essays on [...]
Happy

I might as well comment on it while it lasts, so yeah, I’m really happy right now. The only problem is that I’ve no music on my iPod that suits my mood of the last few weeks. Otherwise it’s great. So yay, sincerely. Hopefully this won’t be taken as an invitation to the Fates to [...]
Cool Gift or Total Rip-Off?

Is this a good Christmas present for a Radiohead fan, or is it kind of dumb and gimmicky since they’ll have most, or all, of the songs already?
Links 2, Links 2, Links 2,3,4
Posted on December 8, 2007 - Filed Under Blogging | 2 Comments
(Read that as “Links zwo, links zwo, links zwo, drei, vier” from Rammstein’s song ‘Links 2,3,4‘). I’ve added some new links in the sidebar. In particular, I think that Andrew Sullivan is worth checking out. He’s an American conservative with an atypical bio, and a very good writer to boot. If anyone wants their own [...]
