All the talk of burritos reminds me of this.

http://www.bbc.com/news/health-30000934

Hungry Horse said it displayed all the nutritional information and guideline daily amounts for men, women and children on its website. On searching, you can find a BBQ Pulled Pork (Wo)Man Vs Burrito that contains nearly 3,500 calories, 65g of fat and 13g of salt.

This is a great read. She was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma at 16 and writes about it.

Four outpatient hospitalizations, an unimaginable amount of prescription laxatives, and roughly an accumulative 48 hours on the porcelain throne later, I defeated the Poop Rock. Things only got weirder. Later I would wonder why the doctors never warn you about what could go wrong, but I suppose the possibilities are actually limitless. Poop Rock? Why stop there? The following six months, I was hospitalized for all kinds of zany afflictions, including neutropenic shock (dangerously low white blood cell count), phlebitis (infected blood clots), cellulitis (akin to elephantiasis), nerve damage, and a lymphangiogram (a fancy word for foot slaughter).

During one of my overnights at LPCH for a bad case of neutropenia, I shared a hospital room with a morbidly obese, fourteen-year-old Leukemia patient who had an infant child and a penchant for random violence towards nurses. At around two a.m. she began making disconcerting groans, but approaching her was ill-advised due to her notorious irascibility. None of the nurses answered my repeated calls on the intercom, and my father commanded me to do something about it, because it was making him feel uncomfortable. My roommate’s less than dulcet squalling continued, so I climbed out of the hospital bed, removed my heart monitors, and unplugged my IV stand from the wall so I could roll myself down the hall to seek assistance. This scenario was a good example of his parenting style, and incidentally the only time I saw him the entire year. He had grudgingly turned up because my mom was worried I might not survive. When I arrived at the ER in Sonoma the evening before, delirious and with a 104 degree fever, they refused to admit me because of liability issues that would arise if I were to die under their care. The elusive silver lining showed through, as the ambulance ride to Palo Alto was actually fun after a hefty hit of morphine.

I love evening walks around the city at this time of year when the street lights are on and the frost is just beginning to settle on the ground. The chill in the air makes everything feel much more alive.

Been doing that a lot myself lately. You can do some great thinking walking alone at night.

Guys

How do you study for an exam.....seriously?

That's a question I never found the answer to.
probably explains my current 40 hours for 8.65 predicament. :pac:

pajor · 25-11-2014 1:51am

Preparation for exams consist of three main aspects.

1. Prayer to the deity you believe (if any)

2. Luck

3. Studying (do and re-do past papers if you have access to them)

These 3 got me a first. :pac:

wnolan1992 · 25-11-2014 1:07pm

Past exam papers are the cheat code to college exams tbh.

My process for studying is pretty much the following:
- Watch YouTube videos
- Organise my notes in a neat fashion.
- Go on Boards.
- Make dividers for my folders.
- Eat food.
- Reorganise folder.
- Panic, cram, don't sleep, sit exam, pass out.

We were quite fortunate that we had lecturers that usually weren't bothered to change past papers. Four questions out of six would usually be the same as before.

One lecturer in particular just changed around the order of the questions, for two separate modules that we had.

wnolan1992 · 26-11-2014 11:46pm

A reboot that actually looks enticing...

wnolan1992 · 28-11-2014 8:32am

I spent 70 quid on books on a whim last night.

Some are Christmas gifts, but that book on Scandinavian baking is ALL MINE!

Junco Partner · 28-11-2014 10:09pm

It seems that when the toy show is on people don't cook. The whole of Limerick has been into us for take away. It's been a while since we've been this busy. It's like a high intensity cardio session.

Jhcx · 29-11-2014 12:14am

Tbh I don't know what's going on today. The shop was the same too. Just non stop we had 4 tills going all day. People doing shops over €300. We made our own black Friday profits and we had no extra deals lol.

Something that annoys me is when dancers perform their dancing to the rhythm of the music, but no one dances for what the music stands for how it impacts you to want to dance moves your body. Everyone plans these segments of moves but the song is chosen around the dance not the dance around the song. Everything just loses meaning. When dancing to a song you need to feel it within you to come alive. Listen to the words the beat as it touches your skin flowing through you.

The last time I talked to him he was planning on studying abroad somewhere, had just finished his undergrad.

Considering the massive critical acclaim of In Rainbows, OK Computer and Kid A, I would say yup! Although your one is probably so unpopular it's a little mental :P TKoL has yet to grow on me

wnolan1992 · 04-12-2014 2:23pm

All of Radiohead's songs are pretty depressing. I can understand angsty teenagers liking it and then forming an attachment, but realistically they're a pretty "meh" band. Sort of like Blink 182 and Linkin Park really.

pajor · 04-12-2014 2:26pm

Yeah, I was thinking that my life can be depressing enough. Don't need music for that. :pac:

angsty

Blink 182

O_o

iamanengine · 04-12-2014 2:35pm

I'm not going to go on a rant, but I am going to have to completely disagree with ye :P

Radiohead aren't for angsty teenagers at all, I only discovered them properly the summer before last. They're songs can be a little depressing but only if you yourself perceive them that way, for me, I find the majority of their songs beautiful rather than depressing.

They simply can't be compared to Blink 182 or Linkin Park. OK Computer is recognised as one of the defining albums of the 90's! Just check out this review of 3 re-issues. (ignoring the score for Pablo Honey their 1st album). Both OK Computer and the Bends get 10/10!

http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/12938-pablo-honey-collectors-edition-the-bends-collectors-edition-ok-computer-collectors-edition/

And to finish I leave you with this, this was in a documentary I watched last night, it's a powerful song, not in the slightest bit depressing!

/fanboyism

I'm attempting to study so I have little else to be at :pac:

Blink 182 had one of the very best drummers in the world and were an essential part of the sound-track to the American Pie series of movies. For a band that wrote most of their songs around 4 power chords, they found ways to create a lot of fun melodies. The immaturity of their lyrics/videos is deceptive, but even at that they're a great fun band.

wnolan1992 · 04-12-2014 3:04pm

I didn't say I didn't like Blink 182. On the contrary, I really like their music. But it's undeniably aimed at angsty as hell teenagers. :P

iamanengine, how old were you the summer before last? I was under the impression that you were younger than me, but clearly you must be a grizzled old man if you weren't a teenager then...
