synergy

April 27, 2005

good timing – today clem told us about the synergy project happening in london on friday night. And today my boss offered to cover some of the costs for me and blue fescue to run in the dublin city mini marathon as part of the company team. Sometimes everything seems to fit together like clockwork…

separation anxiety

April 27, 2005

we’ve been madly flying about trying to get everything sorted before we head away to england tomorrow, and the other day we sat down and said, “what about the cat?” What about the cat, indeed. Usually we would drive him down to west cork for a revitalizing weekend by the sea. It’s cat heaven, really, [...]

This is a perfect moment

April 16, 2005

We are waking up. “As heaven and earth come together, as the dreamtime and daytime merge, we register the shockingly exhilarating fact that we are in charge–you and I are in charge–of creating a brand new world. Not in some distant time or faraway place, but right here and right now.” Amen.

psychosomatic

April 16, 2005

for the past three days I’ve had a continual headache. I’m starting to wonder, is this a headcold? hayfever allergies? or am I growing a massive malignant tumor in my brain? too much DOOM and worry, I think. it’s bad for the brain, and makes me convinced that the worst possible scenario is the truth.

going, going…

April 13, 2005

articles like this make me want to freak right out. like running down the streets with placards and megaphones and a thunderous voice, jumping up and down in the face of everyone I meet. But that’s not how I want to spread the word. I really and truly believe that the next 5, 10, 15 [...]

driving need

April 13, 2005

A few days ago I registered for my driving test. This may seem like a silly thing to do given that I am not prepared to take the test immediately, but remember – this is Ireland. The waiting time is, on average, 33 weeks for the test centre I’d be going to. 33 weeks! This [...]

fuelling the future

April 12, 2005

I’ve decided to go to this conference in June. This link was forwarded to me with incredible timing. I’ve been thinking about these issues non-stop for the past week or so. (much better than compulsive baby thoughts) I’m always amazed that when I feel like I’ve made a real decision, when I’m prepared to take [...]

alphabetical or semantical?

April 11, 2005

Over the weekend I reorganised my bookshelf. When we moved in I was in such a distracted and lazy state that I just flung the books up there however they happened to land. But with the immenent arrival of our new couch and the preparatory rearrangements, the bookcase needed to be moved across the room. [...]
