It may as well be this... to try and be positive. I admit that I am quite the doom and gloom person. My theory is that if Im always expecting the worst then when it happens Im not disappointed. Howev...
I am a lazy slob. I am. Or at least I very much feel like one. It would seem that 2011 is all about the procrastination. It may possibly be some dark cloud hovering over me which is left over from Ch...

I have been somewhat A.W.O.L it would seem. I have been at university, work, getting addicted to Dr. Pepper Zero, writing art essays, studying architecture of the Italian Renaissance (marvelous stuff...
So since my last post (yes a lengthy 24 hours ago) a lot has taken place! The name Siren has been officially decided upon. The website registered, purchased and hosted. The site design and use of Wor...
Way back in June of this year (I say way back because I assume that in blogging time thats a damn while) I wrote this entry about Blair vs the intellectual and moral beacon (please note the sarcasm) ...
Currently Stateside there seems to be a hell of a furore regarding the so-called Ground Zero Mosque. The rest of the world is subjected to seeing the ridiculous levels of ignorance and hatred that ap...
When I was little girl I was an avid watcher of the most fabulous cartoon ever. And I mean fabulous. It had it all. Poppy rock music, glitter, costumes drowning in sequins, huge 80s jewellery, big ha...

At the end of June (yes this review is two months late) I made my way to London and one of the main things on my itinerary was to to see the Now plays as part of the Women, Power and Politics season ...
I very actively frequent the posts at Jezebel.com. It manages to incorporate witty commentary on pop culture, celebrities, fashion and politics... all with a sneeringly "Yeah... right" femini...

I have moved or rather am moving into thetempestintheteacup.com.
I am a diabetic. Surprising and maybe hilarious seeing as I enjoy some sweet treats and post my raptures about them on here. I will admit that I am terrible at controlling my diet. I dont eat crap an...
Im rather late with the whole Mac and Rodarte debacle. I blame my being in Dublin with a Blackberry that ceased to work! I came back last Sunday afternoon and managed to log into my Twitter account o...
