I've just been watching the 1983 Ian Richardson Sign of Four and David Healy as Watson saying "You can't apply logic to a lovely lady" feels meme-worthy. The way he's smiling while saying it made me laugh so much.

Yess! So he's basically going around Ireland using only the Irish language to get about or use goods and services, and you can get it subtitled on youtube handy enough! It's a nice snapshot of Ireland years ago too. An all-around pretty cosy watch. ( I love TG4. )

Watching a bit of Manchán Magan's No Béarla, and it's a delight (even before episode two features Julian Cope's World Shut Your Mouth). Really appreciating his gentle but brilliant sense of mischief.
What a guy. Go raibh deis dé ar a hanam.

Post you from a different era

Old-timey bitchin', 2011. Bleached and plucked to bejasis, scarcely a curl to my name!

Some kids threw rotten fruit at me last week. As a clown, that's better than a standing ovation. That's like throwing spinach at Popeye.

Omg yes! Get yourself on a guitar!!! Muting strings to do powerchords is the only useful application of this I've ever found (besides, you know freakin' people out)!

We're genetically prone to ROCK, Erin! 🎸

A truly healing meal! Yeah even before school I used to make time to do an egg most days, but it's usually a thing for a less fully scheduled day now

Caoimhe Lavelle (aka Kwoo) @kwoovo.bsky.social · 4d

Ohh it's gotta be eggs! Was basically a ritual for me, and I actively rejected any kind of cold cereal for yeears. (Porridge is great, doesn't count because it's hot)

...Victim-blaming a snail...?! How dastardly!

Caoimhe Lavelle (aka Kwoo) @kwoovo.bsky.social · 4d

Those snails died for your sins ma'am

Been thinking about all those snail goo serums. They probably don't make anyone look younger, and even if they did, is it really worth having the heart of a cartoon villain?

After maybe a year of going on all fours whenever I had to cough... it's a net win

I have a rotten cough/infection that I must have picked up from teaching infants this week.

But!

I've noticed that when I do cough, it no longer feels like I'm being stabbed at the back of my pelvis. :)

Not quite but I do a lot of nodding on the phone (and sometimes I blow on cold food)

This. Is. Why. I. Paint.

"They're trying to convince people they can't do the things they've been doing easily for years - to write emails, to write a presentation. Your daughter wants you to make up a bedtime story about puppies - to write that for you." We will get to the point, she says with a grim laugh, "that you will essentially become just a skin bag of organs and bones, nothing else. You won't know anything and you will be told repeatedly that you can't do it, which is the opposite of what life has to offer. Capitulating all kinds of decisions like where to go on vacation, what to wear today, who to date, what to eat.
People are already doing this. You won't have to process grief, because you'll have uploaded photos and voice messages from your mother who just died, and then she can talk to you via Al video call every day. One of the ways it's going to destroy humans, long before there's a nuclear disaster, is going to be the emotional hollowing-out of people."

Mine too! Bringing a bunch of bits for signing

Caoimhe Lavelle (aka Kwoo) @kwoovo.bsky.social · 12d

I don't give a tankard

Caoimhe Lavelle (aka Kwoo) @kwoovo.bsky.social · 12d

I'm heading to this tomorrow. We'll plausibly be sitting together, (as depicted here by the brilliant Joey Mason). And also, I'm usually the token toker of the festival

Caoimhe Lavelle (aka Kwoo) @kwoovo.bsky.social · 12d

Haha... Yes. Yes, he was.

They call it "Real Life" though, I dunno sometimes.
