BLOURNAL
Distractions
As I alluded to in my previous blournal entry, I’ve recently been worrying myself sick about the current state of the world. It’s not fun, it’s not productive and it does nothing for me except send my anxiety levels through the roof, but we’ve been over that already.
Doomscrolling
Hi, everyone.
I know it’s been a few days since I lasted posted anything. I know three or four days isn’t that much of an absence in the grand scheme of things, but you know me, you know I don’t like to leave people hanging, so…
Werewolves’ Delight
Took a shot of the moon earlier. No, it’s not exactly a blood moon like last night but it’s close enough.
This Weekend
It’s been a pretty busy weekend for me, which I already alluded to in a previous blournal post.
Yesterday, I saw Conor McPherson’s The Weir at the Olympia Theatre in Dublin and it is a strange play… definitely a hard one to explain the appeal of…
Breaking Bad
So, I’m just after watching the Breaking Bad episode “Mandala”… you know, that one episode where Skyler sings “Happy Birthday” to her boss. It’s probably one of the most cringeworthy moments in the show… or at least, that’s what the fans will tell you.
I’ll Add It To The List, Vol. 2
I got back from the gym a couple of hours ago and thought now would be a good time to add some more random titles to my list of things that I’ll most likely never get around to actually watching, reading, playing or listening to.
I should be in bed by now…
…lest I run the risk of potentially FUBAR-ing my already fragile body clock. Alas, I’m way too much of a night owl and my brain just doesn’t feel like switching off, so that’s why I’m still blournalling even though it’s well after midnight. Oh, well. It is what it is, I guess.
Looking A Bit More Spruced Up
Just back from getting myself a beard trim…
Not gonna lie, it feels good to get myself spruced up every now and then. Perhaps I’ll try to go for a more clean-shaven look again at some point, but for now, I’m perfectly content with the bearded look.
Slowly but surely perfecting the lost art of the gym selfie
Did another hour-long session in the gym earlier today, although it took time for me to truly get into the swing of things. I felt like I had a harder time getting warmed up than usual, which is most likely because my sleeping habits have left my body clock all out of whack.
This is not an update…
I haven’t blournalled since Friday and I’m sure you can guess why.
Life just isn’t all that exciting for me at the moment, although I do have a hectic weekend ahead of me.
The End of the Summer
You know that autumn’s right around the corner when it’s already getting dark and it’s not even nine o’clock… at least not at the time of this writing.
I’ll Add It To The List, Vol. 1
Anybody remember that bit in Captain America: The Winter Soldier where our boy, Cap, says “I’ll add it to the list”. Even though nobody has spent decades in ice (as far as I know), I think we can all relate to that line.
A little self-reminder
I’m heading up the wooden hill shortly but I still don’t have much of a plan for tomorrow… or should that be a plan for today? Who knows? It may already be Friday but it still feels like a Thursday to me.
Double Bill
I went and saw Together and Weapons at the local cinema yesterday.
The Princess Bride
Well, I finally got around to seeing The Princess Bride for the first time and I still feel like punching myself for not seeing it sooner.
The Naked Gun
Had to take a raincheck on seeing Rocky Horror yesterday due to extenuating circumstances, but I did see the Naked Gun reboot/sequel earlier today.
One in the morning…
I should probably be winding down right about now. It’s late and I’m tired, but my mind doesn’t know how to switch off.
Same shit, different day
Hi, everyone. Once again, I feel like I should apologise for the radio silence over the past week or so. I wish I could say I was busy, but truth be told, I haven’t really been up to much in the interim.
Focus (or lack thereof)
I'm still feeling a bit directionless but getting out on the bike earlier today did help to alleviate some of that frustration and ennui I’m currently facing.
Sweltering workout
I was gonna write something yesterday, but I simply wasn't feeling it. My head was feeling a little frazzled and my thoughts were too cluttered to really focus on anything. The warm weather also doesn't help matters when you’re trying to be more productive.
