Signing On, Jay And Silent Bob, Morons And Danny Elfman

Darren — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 14:06:12 +0000

Today’s video blog in which I moan about signing on for the social welfare, rant about a moron and look forward to Jay and Silent Bob and Danny Elfman.

Belfast, Nerdvana, Doctor Who And Titanic

Darren — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 22:49:04 +0000

My first day and a half visiting Phil in Belfast was awesome. I debated, I walked a lot, I was surprised, I met a Doctor, I bounced around the nerd heaven that was the Heroes and LEGENDS (not Villains, as I say in the video) exhibition in W5 at the Odyssey and I saw the Titanic’s birth place.

Here’s me with Colin Baker. Thank you so much to the wonderful Phil for bringing me along.

Before Belfast And Some Thoughts About Being Broke

Darren — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 10:08:41 +0000

Just a quick update before I head up to Belfast for a few days to see my boyfriend. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to update the vlog over the next couple of days but I’ll try. Anyone know of any good video editing apps for the iPhone?

I also talk about being broke and some of the things I would like to do (and will do) when I’m back working and have money again.

Let’s Have A Debate

Darren — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 09:00:30 +0000

Who wants to have a debate with me? I want to talk about religion and abortion, the environment and gay marriage, aliens and euthanasia. I have opinions…honest!

TV3 Continuity, Bookworms And Video Fun

Darren — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 18:00:24 +0000

Sinéad suggested I become a continuity announcer for TV3. Do you think I have what it takes?

I’m looking forward to seeing Bernard Farrell’s Bookworms in the Abbey Theatre this evening. I’ll let you know how it goes on Culch.ie.

New IPhone, Daniel Craig And A Birthday Greeting

Darren — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 17:08:16 +0000

In today’s video, I play around with the Canon 550D for the first time. I’m not comfortable with it yet, but I’ll get there.

In the vid, I show off my new iPhone 4S, I rant about Daniel Craig as Bond and I send my brother Seán a birthday message.

I’m Not A Well Puppy Today

Darren — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 16:37:22 +0000

I woke up this morning with the manflu and hadn’t planned on making a video today, but how could I deprive the world of my sexy sick voice?

Daniel Craig, Smash, Camille, Coughing And Pennywise The Clown

Darren — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 12:31:25 +0000

Happy Groundhog Day, campers! This was supposed to be a very short vlog letting you know that I’ve got a few longer ones still to come.

However, I started talking about Daniel Craig, the US show Smash, my coughing fit, Camille O’Sullivan’s new album and Pennywise the Clown.

Do Stuff

Darren — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 15:59:59 +0000

This is basically my philosophy for 2012. While I search for a job, I will not simply wait around in front of the TV.

Reality TV And The Voice Of Ireland

Darren — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 09:57:50 +0000

Eh…I don’t like reality TV…I think.

Also, a huge thanks to everyone who has given me positive feedback on these little videos over the last week. It’s greatly appreciated.

I Had A Little Dream Last Night

Darren — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 09:17:44 +0000

I was woken up bright and early this morning by my flatmate and she interrupted a dream I was having. This is it.

Bowler Hats And Friday Night Nerdery

Darren — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 16:17:17 +0000

I was stuck indoors this Friday night, so I spent the evening cleaning out my email inbox, while sporting this very fetching bowler hat. I will wear it everywhere from now on.
