DjMagra’s stuff ‘n’ stuff

I feel a strong need to confess something: My name is Ben, and I am a Juliaholic.

Ok, ok, my name is not Ben (though I am a Juliaholic!), I am taking a quote from this beautifully written review in today’s New York Times of Julia Roberts Broadway debut in the play Three Days of Rain.

It’s a review well worth reading if you have a few minutes to spare!

I haven’t posted an image up here in ages, time to right that and add a bit of colour methinks.

Taken on Sunday in Stephens Green

I just saw an trailer on RTE 1 for an upcoming documentary entitled Fallout, starting next Sunday, the 23rd.

The documentary is a ‘real-life’ drama documenting the events around a nuclear accident over at Sellafield, and the mayhem that would ensue here. It’s a two part series, and looks absolutely fascinating. I’ll be setting the recorder for that next week!

UPDATE:There’s more info available about this in yesterdays Sunday Times

Can I just take a moment to talk about the Dublin Community Blog which is really starting to come into it’s own, with lots of the authors signed up coming up with some brilliant work. I’ve been rather slack in my own postings, not leading by example and all that, but, a big thanks to everyone else who is making it work.

I have a few more ideas for things to do on the blog over the next few weeks, and of course, I’m always open to suggestion and ideas if anyone has any to pass on. And also, as always, if people are interested in signing up and coming to write for us, drop me a note to daragh AT dublinblog DOT ie

I’m too tired to write much, but, this article in the New York Times about how two of NYPD’s finest were carrying out killings on behalf of the Mafia is truly bizarre, for the going-on’s of the court case alone, it’s madness!

There’s breaking news coming through at the moment that Bird Flu has just been confirmed in Fife in Scotland, more on it as I hear more!
