A brief summary of the article: me, me, me, me, me, me, ME, ME, me, me, me. |

Poor Nollaig. I think she is saying that she no longer has an identity, or that she stands for anything permanent and that she is better off among the other empty souls in New York where constant activity is a substitute for meaning. Here's another big mistake from Nollaig: "I have been reading a lot about social identity theory (the masters I chose is in psychology), which discusses the interplay between personal and social identity, and the consequences of this for individual perceptions." - that's not going to help you much in waitress work. The bottom line is that this is quite sad as the girl is at a critical age in her adult life. Who knows what she might do if her head is full of academic related theory rather than a good dose of common sense. |

Incidentally, isn't it strange that we have a whole generation of Irish people with traditional Irish names, who seem to hate their own culture and people?

Better let her know the current goss that Louis Vuitton will soon be buying Tiffany's (not a good augur for New York,wouldn't happen to a Pennsylvania company- not under Trump) I had a friend who once found herself outside the Tokyo branch of Tiff's. She could hardly resist looking in the window munching on a real or mimed bread roll. The Japanese store assistant didn't get it at all,nice that some races are so self-contained that very little matters beyond(thankfully the friend wasn't arrested.) Don't suppose Tiffany's sell St Christophers in Tokyo either |

I was spooked by the rather unflattering even frightening photo of this unhappy lady.
There is a certain earnest serious look among some young people that fills me with foreboding. Have a look at the 100 young people chosen to talk about climate change at the "Youth parliament". Whatever happened to smiling?

Have a look at the 100 young people chosen to talk about climate change at the "Youth parliament". Whatever happened to smiling? We seem to have gone from postmodern irony to puritanical earnestness with no interval. It's not quite the same thing, but one of my biggest bugbears in modern life is the fashion, in television production and advertising, of having people stare at the camera moodily (and unsmilingly) while folding their arms. What's that all about? |
