    Here goes:

    1. What I was doing 10 years ago:
    I was busy being spotty, nerdy, bookish, misunderstood, unsociable, me in my shell.

    2. What 5 things are on on my to-do list for today (not in any particular order):
    Since today is pretty much over, this is what was on my to-do list:
    1. Hit blog HQ and then attend my last German class before summer break. Status: Achieved.
    2. Get busy with hot Spanish chick at post-class barbeque. Status: Failed.
    3. Not be drunk for my afternoon class. Status: Achieved.
    4. Come home and watch last two episodes of Lost. Status: Achieved.
    5. Get to bed early. Status: Pending.

    3. Snacks I enjoy:

    Crisps, bananas, gummi bears, crackers with pesto and cheese, börek.

    4. Things I would do if I was a billionaire:
    Panic wildly. Curse how much more stressful my life would become. Buy apartments in Berlin, Genoa, Galway and other cities that I like and pay people to furnish and decorate them for me. Learn Spanish. Move to somewhere mountainous in South America. Climb every highest peak in every European country. Buy my favourite football team and make them successful. Buy shocking amounts of presents for people I like. Give money and time to charities. Just the usual stuff.

    5. Places I have lived:
    Mullingar, Galway, Dublin, Milan, Genoa, Berlin.

    Not gonna tag anyone, so there. :)

  • Animal rights activists - DO NOT READ

    I read somewhere that it takes 27 hours for your body to fully digest a normal-sized steak.

    Last night we had our Mokono Summer Grillparty - all the blog employees mobilised en masse, packed a fearsome amount of booze, meat and salad into a rented van and made the short trip down to Görlitzer Park, where we found a nice spot in the sun.

    There was football, there were card games, there was frisbee, there were at least six steaks comsumed by yours truly.

    In my defence, I was only trying to do mokono a favour. Faaaar too much meat had been bought, and I just didn't want it to go to waste. That's my Irish upbringing for you. A famine 150 years ago, and no self-respecting Paddy can leave food uneaten.

    By the time I left, I felt like I was carrying a big bag of dead animals in a bag around my waist.

    I still do.

    And what's happening later this afternoon? Mokono lunch with the leftovers from yesterday, followed by a farewell grillparty with my German class to mark the end of the course.

    I think I'm going to try being vegetarian for a while. At least until a week from now, when all that steak is finally out of my system.
