Flamboyancy. It’s a wonderful word. It’s just so evocative and enchanting. For me, it evokes an image of an urbane and confident man, clad in bohemian-esque attire, with a darting gaze, suave walk and dazzling smile. It’s something to strive for, it’s an image to want. I’m occasionally told I am flamboyant. Most often I’m told I dress flamboyantly. Often times it’s just me looking in a mirror and telling myself that I am flamboyant and wonderfully rebellious just so I can justify the wearing of some garish piece of [...]

The Lodge Nightclub – I review it.
Stumbling through a wooden box on a brisk Thursday night, dodging drunk, cascading bodies and avoiding ponds of sick. Where do you find yourself? Why UL’s favourite nightclub the Lodge of course! The Lodge is to nightclubs what Razor Ruddock was to footballers – inherently shit but loved for some abstract, innate reason. To express just how shit the Lodge really is, you only need take into account its saving feature. What draws people, in their hoards, to the Lodge? Is it the ‘craic’ that is to be had there? [...]
Manikin versus Dancer
Just breathing and photographer Galvin Abercrombie collaborated for the Limerick festival ‘Catherine Street Cultural Dig 2011’. A fun day was had as the many passers-by stopped to take photos and look in attempt to decipher who the real manikins were. Keeping a straight face was one of the hardest parts as children pressed their faces against the glass window trying to make us laugh and little girls looked in awe at the ballerinas in the window. Customers were searching through the rails of beautiful clothing as we posed as still [...]
State of the Nation: Mayday Mayday Das Boss is coming (and hail to the Vita Cortex workers)
Dear Friends, I was in Dún Laoghaire earlier this week to announce 100 new jobs. It was one of those usual boring events. Company executives, enterprise chiefs and politicians. Some Lad makes a speech blah blah blah. Some woman makes a speech blah boring blah. The next thing I know someone is poking me in the side. “Not now Fionnuala”, says I, “I’ve had a busy day and I’ve got a bit of a headache”! “T-Shock, your speech” says my aide. It was a bit embarrassing. I told all assembled [...]

How To Survive Exams V-Log (Pay careful attention Arts, Law and Pharmacy students)

The Hunger Games: Book vs Film
Not having read The Hunger Games or any of Suzanne Collins’s trilogy, I had no idea what to expect from it. All things considered though, when it comes to film adaptations of books, ignorance can sometimes be bliss. Any movie that’s based on a much-loved book will always find it difficult to compete for the affection of the readers-come-viewers, who will inevitably find flaws and inconsistencies where the casual cinema-goer will not. A good film adaptation will always send book sales through the roof however, and after seeing this I’ll [...]
Welcome to the life of a mature student
Maybe my preconceptions about the youth of today were misguided. A barely concealed loathing of anyone under the age of 25 had become something that I’d made a part of me. “Look at them there with their Converse runners and their ironic quiffs they think they’re so clever”, I’d think to myself as I watched them loitering around with little or no intent. “They wouldn’t have lasted five minutes in my day”, I’d mutter as I walked past the array of freaks, geeks and not so chics without once realising [...]
