It's on the Internet so it must be true

Cos Pedro has the 411, and not one, not two, not three, but Four! I'm very very impressed.
Especially by this one...

and this one...

and...

not forgetting.

More here, I think i'm going to start rating my favourites... *thinks about that*

Anyone for a spot of Weasel Coffee?

Selling it in Arnotts, i guess that's what the cool kids are into these days. Next thing the SIndo will be shitin' on about teh health beneifts of tubular slugs.

Delicious coffee regurgitated by weasels. It's the taste!

Nyom Chocolate Covered Scoripian.

Yum, Ant lollipops

This is an aphrodisiac pearl lollipop... yep.

Dinner

I had dinner last night with she of the captivating eyes, (Capto Eyes), it was in a lovely down to earth restaurant.
I say down to earth, because there's another one slightly up the road, which is so uptight, they've crawled up their own bums.

So myself and capto eyes went in,(me looking slightly dishevelled - it was Thursday night, and i was just back from work," first they left us waiting...for ages, then about 3 tables freed up all at once, and they came over and said it would be half an hour wait... pft...I should have known!

Anyway went to a different restaurant down teh road, which was absolutely delightful. I had spaghetti bolognaise, with some bread. it was nyom. So all in all, moral of the story is don't go to pretentious restaurants.

/rambling rantlike post.

By the way, I think i've coined a new phrase: stalkerlust. i think it works.

Also I absolutely HEART the word Ruffles.

To Wordpress or not to Wordpress

I've been suffering from some peer pressure lately, move to wordpress, it's great, themes, widgets, all that jazz. I'm a bit scared though, i'm kind of comfortable here, i like the green, i don't like the idea of stuff going missing somewhere in the interweb, and of course even more recordy-ness of me.
Raptureponies hearts blogspot and is not sure if she can grow to love wordpress as much.
I do like that when you hover over a link a little box pops up though.

*remains confused and unsure*
*realises she doesn't like confusion and unsurety*
*starts to think about hats*

Ba ha ha ha ha ha... #2

I'm not sure why but this photo made me laugh so much.

Chabal

Ok so, Ireland are playing France at the weekend, this means (possibly, I'm not sure if he'll actually be playing) but it means that Chabal might be playing. See I'm becoming, nay have already become slightly obsessed with Chabal.
I've already talked about him here and here.


Now i'm a disaster, the match was on the other day, and i walked into a room, where the television was surrounded by about 15 people, and asked what's on, football match is it? to much sighing and frowning. But this is different.

Anywho...I've found myself staring at rugby matches he is in, and i found the last time there was a big rugby thing on, probably the last time Ireland did rubbish, grey jersey's blah blah, i just ended up staring at the screen, and relentlessly bringing him up in conversation.

It's getting a bit weird.

He's just so interesting*... is that the word. It is now.

*I was going to write alluring but thought it would be weird.



Edit:

Sébastien Chabal, the iconic figure from France’s World Cup campaign, is among a host of casualties in the RBS Six Nations Championship squad of Marc Lièvremont, the new coach, that was announced yesterday. Chabal, the media darling from Sale Sharks, who had a website dedicated to his exploits as women drooled over his barbarian appearance, has been dropped, with every likelihood that his international career is over.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bad news from the Times. That'll learn me to pay attention to stuff.

Weekend and stuff

It's the weekend, a child has been christened, Raptureponies drank too much, what is new! We also had some delightful fun with wigs, and the word strog!

Anywho Lost is back tonight, or so i hear. I've pretty much lost interest in Lost. After defending it against Prison Break (too unrealistic) i have finally changed my tune. It's just a bit.. oh here we are again, with no answers and no end in sight. I'll probably still end up watching it, and then be annoyed with myself for watching it, because it's so annoying. I wish i had a quiz to go to.

Which i do tomorrow night... If you bring in some cds you can get in for free. And it will be worth it to see a great man at work. It's for Oxfam, i've been to a few of the other ones, mucho fun!

Songza is a pretty deadly site, that plays tunes. It's kind of like musicovery, but different. It has pretty much everything i've searched for so far, so pleased about that. In fact they are good in their own special ways.

All those facebook pokings, you never really understood, have no fear, the urban dictionary is here.

Ghost Riding: The act of hanging outside of their driver-side door with no driver in the seat while the car is still in motion. From the yay area, oakland!

Ghost riding the whip,
doors open,
invisible driver!
invisible driver!

Throwing Shade: is to throw "attitude."

I was all up in the club "Throwing Shade" last night.

Raptureponies HEARTS this dress.

Feck!I had loads of stuff i wanted to blog about, but i forgot cos i was so busy today... hhmmm, need to do some schedule juggling or something like that.

Did you know?

That one newborn baby = 120 human eyeballs?
And that one male polar bear = 4.95 Tom Cruises

It's on the internet so it must be true.

I was being fancy last night

I was at a launch thing. It was for the Dublin International Film Festival. This was the fanciest thing I've ever been to! There was plenty of free Jameson (naturally) floating about, and i obviously launched into it with gusto. I love that word gusto, i definitely will use that again.

Met some lovely people, and some incredibly glamorous ones too, as are the people i've mentioned below... :)

Met the lovely Una, (she really does rock you know!) who i realised i've been stalking in an unhealthy way, and knew a weird amount about her life, have fun in Trinidad!

I also met the delightful Sinead, who writes aboutmusical rooms, you should check this out if you haven't already it's excellent.
Rickedy was also there, resting his back!

I also met the delightful Tanya, who i'm hoping will pop in for tea some time soon!
I also met a former Rose of Tralee (swoon), who's name i hope i spell correctly here: Aoibhinn who totally invited me to a party, and now that i've written it in cyberspace, there's a record forever so i can't be uninvited! muahh ha ha ha!

All in all mucho fun, i'm so on for fun things like this again!

Oh and Rick and UnaRocks both wrote about this much better than me. Flogging + dead horse springs to mind. :/

Going to Cloverfield tonight, woop!

Coool!!

A cool new magazine is about to spread it's ehhh inked wings... very odd analogy there. In fact it possibly isn't an analogy! Anywho check it out here. It's called State and it's gonna be good. Website is already miles ahead impressing me.

Anyone got any covers ideas? I frickin love covers.

You know when you have private jokes, or scene relavent jokes, and you try to explain them to someone else, and they don't get it? That's it, it's just so weird, i think hats are funny, anyone with me?

Am very excited by the Science Gallery.

Some Stop Motion.

Here are some pictures. I've seen this before, but it's a collection of pictures that show entire family's food for one week. I always liked these pictures.









Hhmmm, very... telling i guess is the phrase?!

Everything sounds like Coldplay, it's from a long while back!

This is awful warped

Sensory Deprivatino that is. Really Freaks me out. More here.

Brian Keenan is all too familiar with some of what they are experiencing. He spent four years as a hostage in Lebanon. "I reckon I was in the dark about seven or eight months. I can't be sure; it's very hard to tell the time.

"The nothingness, that was extremely hard. Because the question in your head is how am I going to get through the next 10 minutes? Or months later, how am I going to get through the next day? Is there enough left in my head?"

"I remember one occasion waking up and having to squeeze my face and my chest and thinking to myself 'Am I still alive?'"

People are actually volunteering for this, and it's all gonna be filmed for BBC Horizon. It just scares the crap outta me.

Stuff of the Week

Stuff from this week.
I was at the Irish Premiere of Sweeney Todd. Which was a lot of fun. It's a great movie, and well worth a look IMO. You can also freak out everyone you know by sending cards and not signing them from the website. Stalkers for the win!


This site has funny pictures of money folded in a way that the people on it look like they are wearing funny hats...

The Album Archive is doing The Bends this week. Ding Ding Ding.

Facebook has some very interesting new, ehhh.... racially aware i guess, Superpoking capabilities.

I'm going to check out these lads tonight. I saw them at Electric Picnic, and they knocked my socks off. I have high hopes.

Going drinking in the Bernard Shaw first so anyone coming and interested pop along, and maybe start shouting raptureponies...that would be fun.

This site has some 'mazing statue picturinos!



I love Covers and so does Jim Carroll, this automatically makes me cool right? Anywho, you wanna contribute your two cents to the Covers debate, check out Jim's Blog and some excellent stuff in the Ticket.

Tom Cruise

is bananas



"we are the authorities on the mind."

"We can bring peace and unite cultures...ahhh"

He's talking to the leaders, who want help.

"Now is the time", he threatens,

watch out lads.

Ru(i)n my Life update

Becs has set up a dedicate blog to allow people to dictate her life...I LOVE IT.

Ever wanted to run a life?

Well now you can! The delightful Becs is allowing the blogosphere to rule her life. Cue maniacal laugh and Monty Burns images in my head. She's not gonna do any life/body/mind damaging stuff though...be realistic lads!

Sample stuff she's thinking along the lines of:

- What I should eat for Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner.

- Gigs to go to and music to listen to. (Within reason, gigs will have to be kinda cheap)

- Films to see.

- Places to visit in Dublin.

- Book/s, articles, etc. to read.

- What I should wear. I will provide options. You will decide between them.

- More decisions that crop up during the week.

I'm very much looking forward to the clothes options one... i wonder can i make her get a crazy haircut...?

I can't really tell you how excited i am at this prospect!

That new Kanye West/Chris Martin Song

It's feckin growing on me. Seriously.

There's no proper video here, but it's all over youtube.



Kanye West's site is very random. Especially his blog, you think being a musician and all it would be more ehhh....coherent. It's more like mine. He has all this stuff about research facilities (!), a coyote lined hammock, and a deadly jacket. Just saying is all.

Em...Time is literally running out?

Oh dear...

Scientists have come up with the radical suggestion that the universe's end may come not with a bang but a standstill - that time could be literally running out and could, one day, stop altogether.

I just don't know really.

Happy New Year

It's back to work, Christmas is over, it was a flipping delight for the most part anyway. In new news: this is my new favourite band (note to self don't use the word new so much).

I have a new nephew...finally! His name is Stephen, i've only seen pictures yet, and he's such a cutie.

I had a very very weird first meal of new years...it was chicken, but also fish, and there was lemon with it. It was renamed Fickin....very very weird.

New years resolutions: More gigs,
No more coca-cola (that's a tough one)
try to have proper breakfasts.
No more drinking for at least a week.
go to Rock karaoke more.
Go to the Pod more, they played return of the mac there.
See Springbreak again
See The Time Traveller's Wife, A mighty Wind, new Indiana Jones
Be more glamorous and mysterious.
Learn stuff

some of these resolutions are likely to clash with others...:/

It's Prison Love:


Giant Knickers save house.

This website is crazy.

Post Christmas

Yes it's now post-Christmas that's so weird...so here's the 411,

there's a baby that is now 14 days overdue...and no sign of the little fella or girl this side of 2008.

I've had a delightful Christmas, catching up with the folks,

watching plenty of Strictly Come Dancing, and little else. there's so much on...and i didn't really see any, how odd.

my friend's hand got caught in a door the other night, and she had to go to Casualty...which is not cool at all. but she's ok.

Back to normality soon....boooo!

saw plenty of old faces.

I got gorgeous presents...:):):):)



i'm going to a black and white New years (semi formal apparently) party!

anywho...all's good...and i'm looking forward to...

a table quiz
dan le sac vs scroobius pip
barcelona...if possible...
bruce springsteen and plenty more...

happy new year

There's a picture of

The Cloverfield monster here. Either this will make sense to you or not.

Seeing as I bought a crimper the other day, I started thinking about the 80s, and how much do i want this? *drools slightly* I've been a good girl Santa, honest.

Napoleon Dynamite as cartoon bunnies. Weird.

Trippy pic:

Em...weird article here about the deer that grew into a whale. Sort of.


Stream Robert Plant & Alison Krauss' new album here along with a few more.

Ewan McGregor hearts Jim Carrey forever.

In honour of Sinead. some Coen Brothers:
