There's a pop-up cafe in Galway at the moment that serves, among other things, vegan cupcakes. Vegan. Cupcakes. Was planning to go into town tomorrow anyway.

Hi gang! Haven't been posting much due to work being crazy. I'm with green_screen on the days off, except I'm in Stephen's Day, so just Christmas Day off for me.
Things were going great until yesterday! I've been in chronic pain for 2 years know, found out in August the reason we thought I was in pain wasn't actually the cause, so I had to find another consultant (who I don't think exists), but the op I had seemed to work. It started to come back Saturday, ignored it. Suddenly got worse Sunday, still bad yesterday morning so I went to the docs. I didn't think it was the normal pain, felt different, very sudden etc etc. Had an ear infection too so needed a trip. Doc thinks my appendix is about to go, so off to A&E for me. Was seen fairly urgently as I had a rumbling appendix (that still sounds hilarious) before. Turns out my appendix is fine. As is everything else. I basically have an idiopathic chronic pain. Nothing acute is wrong with any of my organs in that area. All bloods are clear. So that's a relief. It just means I'm in pain with no cause and no solution and I basically need to live with it. So that was fun.

I also dropped my phone and it boll**xed itself on the floor and need to fork out 250 to get the screen fixed cos like an idiot, I didn't insure it.

Yesterday was not a good day.

Spent most of the summer in SE Asia. 6euro got me an hour massage, the prices here make me cry but think I may be good to myself and get one in new year.

I got a deal off grabone for €15 for 30 mins, and I asked the lady what the usual charge is and she said €30, but €20 for repeat customers. Well worth it too.

Got woken up this morning at 7am by my mother yanking the bedroom door open and yelling " PACKAAAAAGE!!"
Got a massive box full of treats from America: Snickers Almond bars, Herseys, Reese's Pieces, Peanut Butter M&Ms, Pop Tarts, Lucky Charms, Macaroni Cheese, homemade raspberry jam, homemade pumpkin spice butter (Ermagerd it's orgasmic!) and a handmade pair of pyjama pants with skulls and bones on them.
I am a happy bunny!

Any Dublin rock/metal peoples not doing anything tomorrow night, come to Fibbers downstairs. There's five or six bands playing, including my band Mother Mooch, we're kinda grungey stoner rock with a little punk thrown in for good measure.

We're on at 9.45.

It's a fiver in and there's drinks promotions and stuff.

So Salthill is underwater.

Nose piercing is healing a bit slower than I expected. Was planning on getting my septum done Saturday so I could avail of the Christmas offer but I dunno if it would be better to wait. Of course this is all presuming the weather will have improved...which isn't looking all that likely. It's after starting to rain again just now.

Been a while since I posted with some RL crap going on.Hopefully all sorted now.

So today is my 30th birthday and on this day I had it confirmed by a doctor that me and the girlfriend are going to be parents . I have a little nipper on the way .

McChubbin

Congrats, Marty! MAY YOUR FIRST CHILD BE A MASCULINE CHILD!
Anyone here going to the Beers in Sweetmans tomorrow?
Had my final day of college and we had a merry quiz day. My team came second and won a box of Roses which one of my class mates robbed while I was serving up the cake.
Granted, Roses are feckin' manky as far as selection boxes go but still- my granny likes them...
Everyone set for Christmas? I've got pretty much all my shopping done and I wrapped all the presents so not much left to do other than put a wash on and clean up the house for when the reletives descend on it.
There'll be 11 of us in for Christmas dinner. Chthultu help me...

Angron

Congrats Marty.

That the AH beers McChubbin? I'd like to go, but can't afford to sadly.
