The skies will be my home for an hour and a bit later.

Folly, no doubt but sure hey, batter on...

Reading and Radioactive Lemon awaits tomorrow.

Wahey, etc.

Skybound on Friday. Very excited and already prepared.

Best crossover ever.

I'm off to this in a few days.

No rest for the wicked, but good grief Christina, this will be a delight.

Akumakon '26 was utterly fabulous.

Thank you, you amazing humans.

Currently bound for the south for a temporary layover. The call of home is loud.

I'm sure it's actually a nice place but passing through makes one skittish.

Very "local shop for local people" vibes.

Nous sommes en route.

Akumakon 2026 lifts off today.

Had to take the 51 Bus Eireann service up because the Citylink was fully booked for the day but we are on the road nonetheless.

Estimated arrival: close to 16h00.

Time for suitable travelling music, methinks.

Work week is over.

It really wasn't much to write home about but regardless, it's over.

I'm off to Galway tomorrow.

Having that ahead does wonders for the soul.

Just need to get home and get my bits packed and we will be sorted.

Hurrah for Bearkon '26.

15 years of rocking the rollers.

Happy 21st birthday to an album that was a constant and consistent companion to me for a long time and it still is an an absolute banger.

I probably would say such a thing considering the fact that I moonlight occasionally as a mink hand-job in sarcophagous heels.

Mostly on the weekends.

New tech and airbridge to make Cork Airport travel 'easier than ever' Part of a huge €200m upgrade for the airport

I'm rather fond of Cork Airport.

Getting through to the departures lounge is actually very fluid and quick and the folks working in the food and drink sections there do absolutely trojan work to make you feel at ease.

It's a good spot.

If you're considering feeding images of yourself to ChatGPT and asking it to summarise you or what you do as a person, I'd beg of you in polite but nonetheless firm tones to reconsider.

ChatGPT is a baleful and malign presence.

They don't need your data or your face.

Where the noggin is at the noo.

It really would absolutely affect your psyche in an adverse way. It's been endless downpours here since the beginning of the year.

Withered so I am, Hayls.

A perfect ode to the post-post-truth era we live in nowadays.

Gwan Jace, ye got to give the people what they want.

Aha.

With permission, I'd like to opt out of all social engagements this weekend if at all possible.

Seriously though, what a shite start to 2026.

I haven't composed or recorded anything in the longest period but I guess I'm back to live service.

Put this together today and yeah, a DAW was used but every note was actually manually patched in and everything you hear on this track has not been polluted by a data centre.

Proggy electroclash.

The private sector was awash with this kind of nonsense:

I considered it to be normal for far too long.

Chortleworthy...

Ah yes, Cork.

I seem to have returned.

The pleasure is (redacted), nonetheless, we shall do our best.

*raises wing and caws in acclamation*

Time to head south again.

As always the maxim is as thus: "let's have a go".

Might as well.

Time to #QuitGPT, one and all.

There are some absolute wallpapers on the bus. The 51 bus service between Cork and Limerick is a carnival of horrors.

With that said though, thanks be to goodness I'm on the way home.

I'm heading for Limerick until Tuesday arvo.

Colin "Giz" O'Shaughnessy I knew since 1987, we started in primary school the same year.

He was a great man. I loved him like a brother.

Rest in power, Giz, mate.

Here's a wee snap of us at one of the 2024 Sieges of Limerick.
