Christmas and New Years
I’ve just realised that it’s been quite some time since I last updated you lovely folks on what’s been happening around here. I’m sure most of you have been having your own Christmas and holiday celebrations, and I hope that wherever you are/were you had a relaxing time.
My Christmas was quite surreal. I think that, for me, Christmas consists of many elements that make up the holiday experience and without some or all of those things then it’s impossible to really feel ‘Christmassy’. This year was kinda like that…

How to make a tasty Shepherd’s Pie
It’s been a slow week for blogging, and a slow week for me in general – evident by the lack of a blog entry for a week now. So, as a little change, I’m going to show you good folks (many of whom are students with primitive cooking skills) how to prepare a cheap, wholesome and most of all, tasty Shepherd’s Pie that will astound everyone.
On Sunday night I made this very dish from a mixture of a recipe I found online and my own creativity. I made lots of it and shared it with some people, who all were looking for seconds afterwards. Je suis un excellent cuisinier…

Snowboarding at Lake Tahoe
Dude I had the most awesome weekend. Myself, Sue and Valerie rented a car (actually, we got upgraded to a kick ass SUV for an extra $5 each) and headed up to Lake Tahoe for a weekend of snowboarding, ice skating and general winter tomfoolery. The car’s less expensive with 5 people instead of 3, so we also picked up two random guys that we found on Craigslist. They chipped in with rental costs and gas and were generally helpful on the way up and down.

I love those pointless little statistics you pick up at places when you visit…

New contact info
I moved room today at my place, so here’s my new address (for all you that want to send a Christmas card/present to your favourite Irish friend). I also put in my new cellphone number (I figured it’s too expensive to have my own phone since I hardly use it so I’m using the company phone instead, all paid for of course). And finally, I put my Skype in there because I know loads of people have Skype but probably don’t know my username. Remember, Skype to Skype is free so I can chat to you for free if you have it!
So…instructions:
Grab your mobile / notebook etc…

Getting married and that sort of thing
Firstly, relax…I’m not talking about myself here. I’m a long way off from that.
I’ve been caught in a weird place these last few weeks. Recently I was on Facebook and noticed one of my friend’s status changed from ‘In a relationship’ to ‘Engaged’. Came as a bit of a surprise to me. I guess being over here in America removes you from the loop a little bit, and as much as you try to keep up with what’s going on at home, there’s still things you’ll miss…
