  • Bebo Censors Social Issues Group

    Subsequent to posting a link to the (UCD?) ‘Killer Coke’ Bebo page a couple of days ago, it seems the popular page has disappeared. Although never one to underestimate my own importance, I sincerely hope this is not a chilling effect of questioning Bebo’s censorship policy at last weeks Social Network Webcamp. The TCD campaign,… Read more

  • And She Closed Her Eyes – Stina Nordenstam

    I walk up O’Connell street, a quarter to twelve. I pass three Russians, some strange stand off. The girl is blonde, pretty though I can’t see her face. One man leaves suddenly.

    Sliver sliver the damp cold snakes sparkly over nonsense taste flesh. Smack flesh pillows together, then draft more. Head fug, truned on warm air, so to clear, but gray and colour increase. Slug mickle zestie tang back and grab monkey fruit with salt. Quick noise grabs and throws sound room over, and visible spectrum flash… Read more

  • Breakfast / Lunch / Dinner – 11th February 2007

    I quite enjoy the one big meal a day thing. I lash down tea and coffee all day and when I find a dirty crumpled fiver or a friend eager for my company, I go for a dirty great fry. Now I will happily eat anything, not like my plant hating friend here, but for… Read more
