BLOURNAL
A sort of update
Today is one of those days where the weather can’t seem to make up its mind. The sun is shining but it’s also deceptively nippy and there’s the occasional black clouds looming in the sky. Not exactly ideal cycling weather, but I managed to rack up some good mileage so either way, I’m happy.
Along the Loughshore
Dad and I went for a walk along the Moyola Waterfoot Nature Reverse earlier today. It’s a little off the beaten path, but it’s a lovely spot and the warm weather only makes it all the more picturesque.
A little after midnight
OK. It’s a little after midnight and yes, I never quite figured out whether it’s still tonight or tomorrow morning so bear with me.
Midweek
The weather’s been extra good lately, and that’s why I’m currently sitting out in the patio, listening to the birds tweeting and singing.
Sunday
I’ve been away celebrating a family wedding over the weekend and it was great craic all around, but it’s now Sunday. The sun’s setting and I’m about to head out to the local pub for a few pints.
I can ride for miles…
…ten miles to be precise. Not a huge accomplishment per se, but it’s something.
Novocaine
I had a lot of fun watching this in the cinema.
I’ve always been a sucker for action-comedy and this one does delivers the goods. It’s unabashedly goofy and doesn’t take itself seriously unless it needs to…
April Fools' Day
Yep, it’s that time of year again and nope… I don’t have any jokes. Then again, it’s hard to top the current state of the world, which itself feels like an overly indulgent and drawn-out April Fools joke with no end in sight.
Mickey 17
I saw Mickey 17 last week. I would’ve written about it much sooner but I’ve been struggling to articulate my thoughts on it.
The caveman look is gone… for now
I got myself a shave and a haircut earlier today, and it does lightens the load.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day
It’s not the most vibrantly green shirt I could, but it should save me from the pinch brigade.
Sunday night
I’m sitting in Lavery’s right now doing what I usually do on a Sunday night: taking stock and plotting a course of action for the week ahead.
Oscars
So, I stayed up late last night to watch the 97th Academy Awards. I don’t know what the overall consensus for this year’s show is, but I greatly enjoyed it.
March
I can’t believe it’s already March. Where the fuck does the time go?
No, seriously. Where does it go? It feels like it was only yesterday when I was counting down to the New Year in Lavery’s. That was definitely a fun night…
No more monkeying around
Lately, life’s been pretty quiet and uneventful, but I did see The Monkey last Friday, and I thought it was an absolute blast.
I’m back… for now
Well… I’m back… for now.
Pardon the absence. February has been a pretty hectic month and for the last couple of days, my head has been fucking frazzled, so trying to write a “blournal” entry has been kind of frustrating.
Another week of radio silence…
Hi, everyone.
Once again, I can’t apologise enough for the radio silence on this “blournal”. I don’t have any excuse to offer, aside from life kind of getting in the way as it has a nasty habit of doing.
Once again, it’s the middle of the week…
…and I can’t believe the weekend’s almost around the corner again.
Back on the Bike
I took the bike out for a spin earlier today and this is my total mileage…
A Bit of Indulgence in 4K
Last week, I decided to be impulsive and buy Arrow’s recent release of Inglourious Basterds on 4K, while also pre-ordering their upcoming 4K releases of Dressed to Kill and Lifeforce for good measure.
