One of my favourite things of all the things we did in Ireland was visiting the Cliffs of Moher in County Clare. The photos just cannot do justice to the spectacular views of the 700 ft shear drop into the Atlantic Ocean. You really just have to go there to see if for yourself. My […]
My frogs, as you know, have a castle in their tank. But I had never had the opportunity to stay in a castle until I got to Ireland, where I stayed in no fewer than three of them. I guess they had a lot of castles in Ireland and since they are no longer needed […]
One of the nicknames of Ireland is “The Isle of Saints and Scholars”, due to its monastic culture and missionary work to spread Christianity to Britain and continental Europe in the Middle Ages. Which I had no idea was a thing that happened. This would be a trend for me throughout my trip to Ireland […]
I think of all the museums I visited on my holidays, I liked the British Museum the most. I got to see the freaking Rosetta Stone! And this awesome scarab: A smaller version of which my aunt bought for me: I think I’ll make it into a necklace. We also went to the Victoria & Albert […]
We are now officially halfway through the year ((I’m purposely scheduling this to post at noon, as that will be day 182.5, which is exactly half of 365 days! Because I’m nerdy like that.)), so I figured it was a good time to do a check in on my goals for 2013. Goal #1: Lose the 15 […]
We’ve had the frogs for one week and, so far, come up with names for three of the five them: Copernicus, Rocky, and Torpedo. Copernicus was named first – (s)he is a curious little guy who often comes up to the front of the tank to look at us when we look at the tank. […]
A while ago, I bought a Groupon for the Running Room – $50 worth of stuff for only $25. I figured it was a pretty good deal, given that I often buy stuff at the Running Room and I assumed that I’d run two half marathons this year and thus would, at the very least, […]
I don’t know how the hell it’s almost the end of October (!), but it is. And since there is no point in crying over spilled pumpkin lattes, it’s time to look towards November. Of course, now that November is also Movemeber, it’s probably the crappiest month of the year, what with moustaches being the […]
So the big hockey game starts in just 5 days! Eeek!!! In celebration of this, there was a kickoff party last night at the Electric Owl on Main Street. It was a chance for the players, supporters and friends to come out and celebrate this incredible journey we are about to embark on and it […]
I have a whole bunch of things to say, but nothing that’s worth an entire blog posting. Hence, I give you this bulleted list ((who doesn’t love a bulleted list? Hitler, that’s who)): I went out for a run after work for the first time in about a gajillion years. Seeing as I’m claiming that […]
