Top 5 movies

I still think Twin Peaks as a whole counts as a very long movie, but Fire Walk With Me. I have a lot of feelings on how a lot of Twin Peaks fans just want the quirky town and not the baseline, that a girl was sexually abused by her father, but even as a whole it's never not on my mind.

2. The Wicker Man (original). A drag queen on Monday said I had good taste for saying that was my favourite horror movie and I'm still riding that high.

3. Merrily We Roll Along (2013), shh it counts. @myplasticadversary

4. Withnail and I. Saddest gay comedy ever, and yes the coding is intentional. Marriage gone wrong, as McGann put it.

5. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead. I put it on whenever I want to experience existential dread.

"Don't tell me."

"Why not?"

Paul McGann is the Doctor

With the 60th coming up, it seemed appropriate to call on the Doctor on this fine, November Monday.

Happy McGann Monday!

I finally found the origin of these photos, after a little research! 😂

They are part of a 2023 review of Little Shop Props, from their website.

Also from that website (and their Instagram account):

Bonus:

Some pics of Paul from Bristol on Saturday (that's all I could find):

World-renowned Writers and Cliffside Cows

Hi everyone! I’m back after another exhilarating week in Ireland. Monday was my 19th birthday so some of my friends surprised me with a chocolate cake from Tesco. The cake was surprisingly good considering it was from a supermarket. The next day we went on a quick little field trip to the National Library of Ireland. Wednesday and Friday were spent at the basketball court after classes as per usual. Saturday consisted of a day trip to the Cliffs of Moher and Galway followed by a long train ride home and some drinks in Dublin. Today we are just going to order pizza, stay in, and play some card games since the buses are running on a weird schedule because of a marathon going on today. 

National Library of Ireland

After our Modern Irish History lecture on Tuesday, we were able to visit the National Library of Ireland. At the museum, we explored two main exhibits featuring two Irishmen that won the Nobel Prize in Literature. The first exhibit that we walked through featured Seamus Heaney. We learned that Seamus Heaney came from a predominantly farming family and was one of the first people in his family to pursue a career in poetry. Before reaching the second exhibit, we were shown an insane Lego replica of the library that took around five years to be completed.

The second exhibit featured W. B. Yeats who heavily influenced Seamus Heaney’s works. In this exhibit, we learned quite a few interesting facts about the Yeats family. First of all, we learned that W. B. Yeats proposed to a woman named Maud Gonne a total of five times and was rejected every time. After all of these rejections, he decided to propose to Maud Gonne’s daughter, Isuelt Gonne, who also rejected him. In addition to this, we learned that W. B. Yeats used to create visionary experiences with Tattwa cards. These cards along with a carved piece of lapis lazuli that was gifted to Yeats were some of the items on display at the exhibit. The piece of carved lapis lazuli was the topic of one of Yeats’ more famous poems.

The Cliffs of Moher

My Saturday morning began at 6am in order to not be late for the bus. The bus took us from Dublin all the way to Galway on the western coast of Ireland. Our first stop was at the Barack Obama plaza. The plaza was named after Barack Obama after he visited Ireland in 2011.

Our next stop after the plaza was at the Cliffs of Moher. The views from the cliffs were surreal. During our visit, we met a pigeon that let us get astonishingly close to it and snap a ton of photos. 

The super cool pigeon we met at the Cliffs of Moher

The pigeon wasn’t the only cool animal we met at the cliffs. As soon as we arrived, we spotted cows roaming the emerald green pastures all around us. When we were walking on one of the trails, we were actually able to get within arms reach of one of the cows.

Cute cow that we met on the trail (it may or may not have peed a little bit while we were there)

On the main trail through the cliffs, there was a historic tower that we were able to climb to the top off.

After walking around the cliffs for a few hours, I worked up quite an appetite so I decided to stop for a quick snack on the trail.

After experiencing the cliffs, we ate actual food at McGann’s Pub in Doolin. We were seated outside in a beautiful garden-like area next to a lovely little creek. Most of the people around me ordered the fish and chips meal and we all highly recommend it, but a few other people said the beef stew was also amazing. 

Galway

After eating lunch, we ventured off to Galway on the western coast of Ireland. While we were in Galway we ate dinner at The King’s Head Bistro. Three of my friends and I ordered the Kings Head Blood Red Ale. We all agreed that it was probably the worst tasting drink that we’d ever had. Only one of us was able to finish our ale by the time we left. The fish and chips that I had was extremely good though so it kind of made up for the disgusting ale. 

Couldn’t pass up taking a pic with this random sign in Galway since I still have braces

Saturday Night

Instead of taking the bus back to Dublin, we decided to stay in Galway and take a train back to Dublin a few hours later. We all bought our train tickets the day before so we wouldn’t have to stress about getting them when we got to the train station, but this somehow came back to bite us. As soon as we got in line to board the train we realized the train only had carts A, B, C, and D. However the seats listed on our tickets were in cart E. Cart E was nonexistent. One of the workers on the train basically just said good luck when we asked him what we should do. In the end, most of us had to either stand or sit in the hallway between carts until some actual seats opened up after a few stops. Once we found seats, we played BS and spoons with a deck of cards we had for the rest of the two and a half hour train ride across Ireland. After arriving in Dublin a little after 10pm, we strolled down to the Silver Penny Pub for a few drinks to end off the night.

Hope you all enjoyed reading my blog this week. Until next time!

Paul McGann in Every Role (that I can find a DVD/Download of) –> Archie Addington in McDonald & Dodds (2022)

You know, before your grandad killed himself and the legacy passed to me, I always used to think I’d just be one of the boys in the back room. I’m an engineer above anything else. A mechanic. Good one, too. Problem solver. Used to love to find these clever innovations, these marginal gains that would improve engine performance. What F1 is all about, of course. What I’m saying is that I might have had a different life, a better life, than the one I have.
