Okay, so I’m sneaking a break on the laptop to make a posting, and after this God only knows when I’ll be on again, because our broadband is not scheduled to be turned on until July 30th (augh!), and while I will therefore probably only have access when I hie myself to an internet cafe. Odds are good I’ll do that at least every couple days, but waugh no net. On the other hand, I have revisions to do and a proposal to write (two proposals, if I really have…
more about the house
Okay, since we actually have a place now, I will say that we’re moving into Cork City centre, rather than living in beautiful but comparatively remote Cobh.

I packed up mass market paperback books, CDs and DVDs until I ran out of boxes last night (didn’t take long, as we don’t have very many boxes, and man, we have…
God is also an Aerosmith fan.
Steve Tyler is one thoroughly disreputable looking old man. *pauses for Wikipedia* Okay, at 59, he’s not actually all that old, but good god damn every inch and mile of those fifty nine years is writ large upon that ugly mug of his. On the other hand, I don’t get what it is about rock stars, but man, there just really is something about ’em.
