Beaut.ie FABILIS competition!

January 31, 2008

beaut

The wonderful girls over on beaut.ie have a competition running and the prize is one hundre euro voucher for Peter Marks, now I’m not a huge fan of hair styling, I’m more of a fan of keeping what remaining hair i have on my head so I have entered purely on the basis that the other half will put it to use and will love me for it, get the picture.

So motor on over to their site and enter the competition, the question, well lets just say if they provided a log it would be easier than falling off it so wander over and take a look yourself!

zoviro

I was tending to my daily ritual of smeering some lemon juice over my lips and just as i was gently peppering the corner of my mouth with some salt and before i caressed some TCP into my lips i felt that burning sensation, that all familiar tingle that’s made famous with stupid commercials with people swimming with motorcycle helmets on their heads.

Yes i am officially run down and exhausted (either that or that french kiss i shared with a brazilian street girl 6 and a half years ago is eventually catching up with me) and the tingling that will eventually resemble a pock mark on the side of my face should blosom into a healthy coldsore!

It’s too late for Zivorax (the tingle has come and gone, or i sneezed and missed it), i have a lighter and some lighter fluid poised and ready to go but my question is this:

Can anyone reccommend a possible cure for coldsores?

Provided it doesn’t involve 3rd degree burns or a bag of lime and some rope I’m all ears

HELP ME!

Longlisted for Best Newcomer Irish Blog Awards 2008

January 31, 2008

Shocked to say the least that i have been longlisted for the Best Newcomer blog in the Irish Blog Awards 2008. Now i’l be honest from the outset and declare

Yes I did nominate myself.

Still it’s great to be considered along with such popular blogs like Sabrina Dent, Alexia and One for the Road (who has vowed to kill the first born of every nominee if he doesn’t win). There’s a lot of choice out there but again it’s just great to be considered!

What has Halle Berry got to to with it? eh i dunno, i got lazy with google images!

Irish Blog Awards Long Lists eh leaked?

January 30, 2008

IrishBlogAwards1

The long lists for the Irish Blog Awards have been released, well when i say ‘released’  it’s more of a cloak and dagger affair really with drip feeds appearing on strategic sites.
It certainly seems like the judges have their work cut out with large numbers of top blogs against each other!

The official awards.ie blog has the released leaked categories and should be drip feeding us more as the evening progresess…

Butlins it ain’t!

German perverts eh i mean nudists will be in good company with the launch of a new nudist friendly holiday which starts on the plane! The 55 people will be able to decloth as soon as they board the chartered plane and let all their jollies hang out till their hearts content.

The trip from the eastern German town of Erfurt to the popular Baltic Sea resort of Usedom is planned for 5 July and will cost €499.

‘I don’t want people to get the wrong idea. It’s not that we’re starting a swinger club in mid-air or something like that.’

But i’m guessing it would be awkward enough situation in an emergency situation like, say a crash landing or an emergency exit? 55 nekkid, and lets face it wrinkled and sagging bodies sliding down a chute isn’t the nicest thing to imagine, espcially if your one of the firemen having to catch them at the bottom!

I wonder if they will sell hot drinks on board, spillages would be a bitch :-o

Internet – circa. 1996

January 30, 2008

It’s always a shock when you look back at something ten years previous, in photo’s it would be dodgy haircuts that have strangely come back into fashion, large lapelled shirts with dodgy prints, that well have strangely come back into fashion!

The internet is no different, well it is, it’s gotten better, less naff! From the day of Hamster Dance and when the whole concept of the Internet hadn’t really taken off, if you take a wander back it’s quite scarey how ‘basic’ it was!

Now it’s all CSS this and PHP that with great big dollops of user uploaded content, but back then HTML was the king and no one cared if you didn’t close your tags, cause people didn’t give a shit like they do now, oh and there was less porn too…

A little done, more to do!

moving

Welcome to my brand new spanking plot of t’internet! Thanks to the help and knowledge of Sean I’ve now moved over to a hosted service with all bright bobbles and gadgetry! What does this mean for the average joe who spins by here on a whim or a miss-spelled website address? Well up until now I have mostly been posting on and off through the week and I would hope that I can post more regularly and maybe increase the blogging style to things , well maybe a bit less light hearted!

The site looks like a Siamese version of Mr Mulley’s (link) site but that’s where the comparison begins and ends unfortunately, I have a look and layout for the site I am currently fiddling around with so I hope to get that up and running as soon as possible too but more important than that is the continuity of the posting which I hope to keep up while i find my feet!

Juno

January 30, 2008

juno poster big

Courtesty of pigsback.com I trundled to UCI Coolock to see the film Juno. There seems to be a big splash about this film of late, this would be down to the outstanding role played by Ellen Page. I first saw her in the film Hard Candy which was a very dark but thrilling film,in Juno she plays a 16 year old girl who gets pregnant and the ups and downs that go with it. It’s very well written and is very funny in a dark middle America way and the film is very well shot.

There is much talk about Oscars surrounding this film, I’m not 100% sure if its that good but it definitely deserves to be seen on the big screen.

Watch the trailer

Well ladies and gents, the itch just had to be scratched! I’ve moved my blog over to a dedicated host and fresh and dandy WordPress install (Thanks Sean) so posting here might be on and off the next few days while i find my feet over at the new address!

While i still try and find my feet, the site’s feed may be delayed and some of the links may not work as yet but these problems should all be sorted  in the coming days so please check back in a day or so!

Vend-a-Joint

January 26, 2008


Cans of coke, crisps, all manners of confectionery, condoms and now medical marijuana! What these all have in common is they are all distributed now in vending machines! All be it the weed is for *ahem* medical purposes only (currently) and is heavily guarded.

AVMs are 24/7 machines housed in standalone rooms, abutting two dispensaries and protected by round-the-clock security guards — like ATMs for people combating psychological withdrawal with a physical one. After cinching up your doctor’s consultation, hit an AVM location to get your prescription approved, fingerprint taken, and a prepaid credit card. . . .

They also plan to stock them with Viagra and Propecia so you’ll be horny with great hair and so fuckin’ stoned you won’t know what to do with yer permahorn other than go get some munchies…

Only in America…
