How to survive moving to G G G Galway. December 15, 2008. How to scare the shit out of yourself in three easy steps. So I stop in the usual garage in Enniskillen and head for the water tap. I’m a hundred metres up the road before it hits me that I put the detergent in the expansion bottle. I end up spending twenty minutes flushing the bubbles out of the coolant system with the flower-pot watering can, while trying not to slip on the rapidly forming ice sheet beneath. Three and a half hours into what is r...

Best. Superhero movie. Ever. | Wild Wild West
https://ggggalway.wordpress.com/2008/08/25/best-superhero-movie-ever
How to survive moving to G G G Galway. August 25, 2008. Best Superhero movie. Ever. It is often said that the main difference between DC and Marvel is that DC characters live in the fictional world of Gotham and Metropolis, while Marvel characters live in the real world. This was always an exaggeration — Washington DC has appeared in DC Comics (Lex Luthor for President! And Marvel has plenty of preposterous locations (Genosha? But the slightly preposterous climax (all the water pipes and train lines pass...

The Southern part of the North | Wild Wild West
https://ggggalway.wordpress.com/2008/09/26/the-southern-part-of-the-north
How to survive moving to G G G Galway. September 26, 2008. The Southern part of the North. And it came to pass that Andrew was alone at home, with little to do. And yea, the Plasmafish did offer his company for the evening, as it was the Oyster Festival and the Plasmafish’s cousin was competing in the oyster-opening championships. Verily, did the cousin triumph in his trials* and much merriment was had in drinking the black stuff and eating oysters. 8211; Let’s go somewhere else for another pint. In my t...

Go on, slit my throat | Wild Wild West
https://ggggalway.wordpress.com/2009/06/01/go-on-slit-my-throat
How to survive moving to G G G Galway. June 1, 2009. Go on, slit my throat. I have suffered for many years from back acne. I don’t exactly have the healthiest-looking skin elsewhere on my body*, but I am distinctly more comfortable with my t-shirt on in public. Nevertheless, it was never bad enough to prompt me to approach the doctor and get antibiotics. That was until I got a boil. Itself, but I did end up with a funny taste in my mouth for a few hours, and I got some reading done.* *. Of course, when I...

Play dead. | Wild Wild West
https://ggggalway.wordpress.com/2008/10/23/play-dead
How to survive moving to G G G Galway. October 23, 2008. Raindrops falling from the black sky into the light. Passing traffic throwing puddles up into spray. Flags pulled out hard by the brisk wind, shaking their stiff poles. The little red car by the door of the hotel, awaiting its master. Quick, play dead! The starter motor sighs weakly, unable to turn. Dials light briefly, then fade. A death rattle emerges from the heart of the machine. But, but, I didn’t leave the lights on. What the hell? You are co...

Pas du vin | Wild Wild West
https://ggggalway.wordpress.com/2008/07/03/pas-du-vin
How to survive moving to G G G Galway. July 3, 2008. Act 2, Scene 1. The busy dining room of a tourist hotel in Mallorca. The furnishings are wooden, practical and dated. ABG and GF are searching for a table, carrying their buffet dinner. ABG spots activity around the chiller. ABG: Look, they have free wine with the meals. How continental. He grabs a bottle of El Cheapo from the chiller and they sit at an unoccupied table. A middle-aged WAITRESS appears. WAITRESS: Bonjour. Flobbleobbleobbleobbleob? The W...

Keeping sane | Wild Wild West
https://ggggalway.wordpress.com/2010/10/02/keeping-sane
How to survive moving to G G G Galway. October 2, 2010. In news from the other three lives, the party has an election candidate selection pre-meeting on Monday night, which will probably involve speeches and discussions, but no actual decisions yet. The physics research has unfortunately suffered from lack of time recently (as it always does), but I was struck by this interesting paper. Which I have not yet fully digested. And finally, a plug for the Wondertones. Laquo; Go on, slit my throat. How to scar...
