Off to France

Can't believe I get to go back! I went to Bayonne, a town near Biarritz last Summer to improve my french for school. Now, the guy I did my exchang with has invited me back for the 'Fete de Bayonne', an annual festival in which french people take a break from snails and frog's legs and go wild. Here's a vid of the Bullrunning last year. They pile thousands of people into a big plaza and set a bull loose. I'm in there somewhere.



I'll try to keep updated during the trip, but no guarantees. I'm finding it hard to stay up-to-date while at home and unemployed!

Oxegen 08!

OXEGEN! The most craic a person can have in a single weekend! Just got back on monday, still haven't recovered...
Thought I'd mention this tornado that ripped through Red Camp in the middle of the day. Really weird stuff! The first vid is of a tent that got taken up from Red Camp. It was literally 3-400m in the air at one stage.



No-one knew what happened to it in our camp because it literally disappeared into the distance. I found it on youtube!



That walkway is about a mile away! Sorry for the poor quality vids, these are from camera phones...
Oxegen!

Catching up

It's been a while since I last wrote here. My Leaving Cert is done forever, and I've just turned seventeen. Now I get to spend the rest of the summer assing around and stuff. Now I get to look foreward to oxygen, which is starting in just two weeks. I'm sharing a tent with two guys and three girls, so it should be good...

By the way, that picture is about predicting the ultimate fate of the universe.

A runthrough of Darkfall's features. Just thought it was a cool vid.

Irish Paper 2 tomorrow. After that it's just Art, French and Physics. Then Oxygen!

Just a few more days!

The Cert Begins!

From XKCD
Sure, the joke was bad taste, but at least it had good delivery...




AAAAAHHHH!!





IT'S THE LEAVING CERT!



EVERYBODY RUN!





English Paper 1 went well, and I have the incredibly long combination of English Paper 2 and Chemistry tomorrow. Oh joy.

Big Dog

While browsing through Youtube, I found something I want everyone to see.



It's called Big Dog, from Boston Dynamics. I just thought it was really freaky and cool. Enjoy!

At Long Last

Wow, who would have thought Physics could be boring?

Anyways, I managed (through some simple devilry) to take a few screenies from my T2 mission, The Syndicate.

Pictured are some shots from the Cathedral and Street outside.
