Easter Egg
Forgot to take a picture today, so here is my passport picture.

Saturday Slumber
I love bed. And I love my girlfriend Kimberlee, and since she lives in California and I… don’t, the internet is the only way we can communicate with each other. We talk on skype, googlechat, on the phone occasionally, and we’ve even sent each other presents.
I love you Kimberlee.
Dartboard Friday
I love sleep. And there’s nothing better than sleeping in a nice bed while wearing a nice pair of jammies.
Why is today called Dartboard Friday? After the jump.

Sunrise Thursday
So I was awake around sunrise again today, and it is a pointless time to be awake. Unless you’re a jogger. But then again, I see jogging as pretty useless. You always just end up back at home again.
Edit: I should have titled this before posting
I’m doing a lot of back posting. Up to the 3rd of June. Get off my back, I’m taking the pictures every day aren’t I? Man, you hardcore fans are ravenous. I might be coming out with a line of t-shirts soon, so if anyone wants to pitch me some ideas I’m in a receptive mood.
Spring Clean Tuesday
Been cleaning, baking, cooking, tidying and doing the washing up all day. It’s not technically a spring clean, but the house was messy and every so often I love to have a big obsessive clean. It’s nice, try it once in a while. Also, if you do the dishes right after eating, I mean directly after eating the food doesn’t have time to stick to the plates. Clean up is easy.
Also Purple Drink.
This stuff is fantastic. It’s purple koolaid, and it may very well be the elixir of the gods. It tastes like happy, and I’m rather annoyed that I couldn’t have more than I got. C’mon sin! Whip up another batch.
Monday again? It never ends
Damn it damn it damn it. Once again I forgot to do the meatball dinner as the next post in the Zinc Saucier series about my meatball dinner. Someone text me while I’m making it next time. Seriously.
A little background info on the posting schedule of the mad carpenter, if I can’t remember what I did on a certain day, I’ll discuss the picture from that day. Keep an eye out for it.
EDIT: Happy Birthday to my brother, who’s 18 today.
Happy now Eamon? And besides, I called you.
Pffht. People.
Is it Sunday again? It always sneaks up on you
Word on the vine was there was a second night out planned for tonight, however the main catalyst for our going out didn’t materialize and I ended up spending the night watching TG4 documentaries about the Irish in America.
Frank finished Bioshock, then we watched two movies Silent Running and the first part of 300.
Bioshock is a masterpiece, and I think that sitting watching Frank play it for hours has locked my neck. Hope it gets better before too long. As a game it has an incredibly fulfilling ending (If you follow the correct path) and there are so many hints towards where the story is going throughout the game, that it makes you feel a little bit stupid for not realizing them earlier. It’s beautiful, it’s a masterpiece, I can’t praise it enough. But damn it, I’m never playing it. I nearly had a heart attack just watching it.
Silent Running (1972) is an environmental film set in space. I say watch it, because it’s very possible that it could become a forgotten gem, and that would be a shame.
And 300 is just hilarious. Ridiculously hilarious. And massively violent. So it ticks several boxes.
Go Away Saturday
As I said the day after St. Patrick’s day…
Go Away.
Party Friday
I’m just going to let the contents after the jump speak for themselves. Brace for Epic.

Thursday?
I don’t know what my face was trying to do during this picture. Any suggestions, leave them in comments below.
Money Wednesday
So what’s the usual run down of money Wednesday I hear no one ask.
Well, I usually go down to the post office to get my money, however since Sin got on the dole (finally) so we went down, she signed on, and we went for a pint. Which became 8 pints by the end of the day. However Mary hit us with a nice bombshell of the electricity bill of €278.34 (Oh….so it’s ctrl ALT 4 for the euro symbol…) which may put a large damper on the fun of this weekend. I’m thinking, very inexpensive beer and drinking water in the bar. We’ll see how it goes.
There’s only one electric company in the country, so short of setting up expensive solar panels, or trying to build my own windmill (and we all know what happened last time) we have to pay it.
Anyone for a minor revolution? No? Dang.
Letterkenny Tuesday
Back at home, scraping by until tomorrow. I mean, we’re not starving, but it’s not exactly party time today. Friday. Friday is party time though. I’ll bring the camera.
Monday
Still at home. Missed my bus like a moron. There were two buses sitting there, the one directly behind the car was to Galway, mine was to Derry. The Derry bus pulled up behind the Galway bus, and then pulled away before the Galway bus. Stupid mistake I know. Home tomorrow it is then.
Sunday
Eh? No chin beard. And some snazzy new pajamas (Pyjamas?) I’d never really considered wearing extra clothes to bed, but I’ll be damned if it isn’t nice and cosy when you wake up. Go buy some, they’re awesome.
Saturday
Getting well tired of this beard. It has begun to drive me nuts. I looked back, and I’ve had some sort of chin beard since February 17th or something. I’m going to shave it. *itch*
Friday at 8.20am
People get up this early in the morning? Earlier you say? That’s barbaric. I had a very odd dream about lost and lil’ wayne last night, and while trying to piece together the disparate flashes of phantom memory at 7.40am I realised that I wasn’t going to be able to fall asleep again for some reason. It wasn’t from a lack of being tired…
A cold panic took hold of me: I hadn’t put out the bins. (That trash cans to my American followers) Now, this may not seem such a bad thing, however we have an alternating bin system, which a lot of my readers may have. Week 1, we put out the blue recycling bin, and week 2 we put out the black, or green household waste bin.
It’s a good system, it encourages recycling, and it means you have less waste over all. However! If you happen to miss a week, then you have to wait a further 2 weeks to get the blue or black bin picked up.
With our black bin already packed, I legged it downstairs, dragged the remarkably heavy bin around to the front of the house and heaved it up to the kerb. The truck hadn’t arrived at that time, so it was a victory for doing things at the very last minute.
This real life sort of stuff is harder than it looks.
Oh yeah, I’m going back to mema’s place for the weekend. Everybody needs a little chill out time, and mine chill out place is mema’s. See you in a few hours ma.
EDIT: Hey check it out, 150 posts.
So… how was your Thursday?
Mine was pretty standard. Mooched around, had dinner, watched Red Dragon, which I had wanted to see for a long time, ever since I caught 5 minutes of it on TV, and having watched Silence of the Lambs recently.
Fiddling with the settings on my camera again. This is widescreen mode. Pretty big now that I look at it… More tomorrow.
Oh, and If you want a more by the minute update on what I’m doing go to my Twitter or Plurk accounts.
If I’m a day or two late posting, you’ll probably figure out why over on twitter or plurk.
Welfare Wednesday
Man do I ever want a job. Or at least some source of income that’s fun to earn. Jesus this sucks. Ah well, economic crisis it is then.
On the up side Sin and I were up early enough to go into town and get a Mc Donalds breakfast. I’ve never had one, and in Sin they invoke memories of the LA riots so it was a fun morning discussing the taste of the maple syrup and how awesome the sausage mc muffins are. I mean damn, it was awesome. And for those of you that don’t know, it’s a burger made out of sausage meat. And you can get a double. Two breakfasts for 13 dollars. I’ll call that a win. But getting out of bed before 10am sucks.
The breakfast in question. The tea wasn’t that bad either.
What’s the deal with Tuesday?
Seriously. Nothing ever happens on a Tuesday. The best Tuesday can be is the day before Wednesday. Which happens to be good for me because tomorrow is dole day and everything is getting a little thin on the ground. I mean, we’re never really on the brink of starvation, but occasionally sitting around eating jam sandwiches cursing the government. But tomorrow all shall be well. Always is.
Forgot to tell you guys, I got a picture of Frank yesterday. Forgot to post it. So here it is.
He was in the middle of animating when I took the picture. So if you’ve ever wondered what an animator looks like, there you go.
