I’m unwell. I have to admit that it’s the reason why I’m blogging. I’ve not had much respite this month. But yes, unwell. I spent most of the night spewing from various orifices. Not a pretty thought, but I want to highlight the gravity to which I am ill. It’s not manflu.
A product of my [...]

Here’s to the Tens.
Well, as all of the ‘Decade Review’ shows have so hastily pointed out – a lot has happened in the past ten years.
No shit, Sherlock. Ten years, are ten years. Of course a lot is going to happen. The question is, once you fizz through all of the meaningless shite which passes for ‘news’ and [...]

Resolute-tions
Upon reflection, I’ve come to the conclusion that in the New Year, some habits need to be broken and certain elements of la vie du Philippe need some considerable change.

Success. *AHEM* Starts ‘Wednesday’.

Plan B.
Balderdash.
I have been unsuccessful in procuring a scholarship for the MA in Television Fiction Writing. Thus, meaning I won’t be able to study this year. The panel of executives decided that I had ‘excellent potential’ but was a little young and inexperienced.
Therein lies my predicament. How does one gain experience, when the course which provides [...]

Homeward Bound
All is done in Glasgow, and as far as the MA is concerned; there’s nothing more I can do but wait. Most definitely the most terrifying part, considering that now I have a fair idea of the lovely people both applying for the course, providing the scholarships and teaching the course. Now I know what’s [...]

Itchy, Scratchy Leggies
As I type, I’m juggling between scratching both my right & left legs in what appears to be a huge number of insect bites – compliments of Lisfannon Beach, Co.Donegal. Perfect for one of the ‘Visit Ireland’ campaigns. Yeah – visit the emerald Isle and be eaten alive…
The beach experience was indeed more fun than [...]
