Cocoa butter is used in skin treatments and face creams because it melts at skin temperature.

It's getting pretty jazzy now. I'm in the Dublin City Library and am all set to go. Have a copywriting thing to complete. My head is a bit dazed after my long run yesterday followed by a late night. I'm able to keep going. The job front is especially stressful but I shall not worry too much about that for the moment.

This place is like a cognitive Aldi. An intellectual's Lidl.

Visual directions; writing a script about improvements in Dublin's transport infrastructure. Went from this: Truck jacknifes doing u-turns at the Redcow roundabout.
To this: Road safety enhancement at works with special lights, warnings, speed limits on interchange.

53 mins in and my head is drifting. will I last the hour? This musique is schmmode - maybe I should move to "cinematic" in honour of the screen writing gig in front of me. I'm getting distracted now. I have my face facing the wall though. It means I can't gawp. If I move over to my other project? Maybe I can reach a milestone and then move over. What is my frikkin milestone? It might be to get this next sentence finished.
12:32
OK so I just made a bit of progress there after a rush of shite to the head time passed. Now the rush is back on. Thinking of all sorts of things like coffee and weight lifting and other waste/space activities. Guys like me wearing scarves is girly. Let's look at email. Web.

Desperate Dwayne died in a garda cell last night. He had health problems. And drug problems. Trigger happy too. He was finished when they named him 'Dwayne'. I think instead of a campaign against guns they should have a campaign against names like 'Dwayne' as they attract the wrong kind of behaviour.
"Do youse wanna be in our gang, D-wayne? We're going killin' a horse and setting vans on fire."

Dwayne Dublin.

OK I have an hour and 53 on the stop watch I'm moving over to the fun stuff and maybe knock another half hour out of it. Lunch can't be that far away.

Double shooting of Dubs last night. Step it up, will ya?
13:18
Hour and 44 that were. Good. More now.

De Gardai said the dead man was the one they were looking for in connection with the shooting of an innocent woman. Case closed. Thank you very much and good night. (The journos love it, as they can't libel a deadman). The Gardai are running an enquiry into their own dead prisoner in the pink house.
13:59
Also died in Garda custody

There's a couple of them missing from that list there.

The Gardai have said he was the gunman. So he was. And they're the crowd with no intelligence problems?
14:01
A lot of crime correspondents say it comes down to drugs and cocaine. All of it.

There was a Dwanyer died in a garda clink recently with his tracksuit waistcord around his neck. Nothing about it on the RTE website anyway. Well managed the Press Office.

Very ordinary gentlebot:
Atlanta bar owner Rufus Terrill has built an armor plated remote control robot to video tape and chase away drug dealers and other unsavory characters who are causing problems in the neighborhood.14:23
And as the mothers die of a broken heart from murder and the people get desensitised to justice, we tune out of the Republic of Ireland and into www.radioparadise.com.
15:13
Can we trust these people? Can we trust anyone?
Gardai say there is no suggestion that the man who died in custody early this morning was mistreated by gardai.17:01
Brand new Dublin housing estate, houses not even filled, already been a gangland murder there.

The website of the Free State Government is called oasis.gov.ie. Should be called bleedin' desertisland.gov.ie. Angola bleedin' desert.

Oh wait, wrong one, next most popular 'oasis'. http://www.oasis.gov.ie/
On the homepage, Irish is relegated to the status of a language next to French and Romanian. Scroll down and down. Bottom right.

Browsable directories are the way to go. Let's see here, ah, Culture and Recreation? Not here. Employment? (Joke). "Education." Here we go:

He's the mac daddy of Irish Christianity. A shepard-with-a-crozier and a pointy hat-in-one all round single-man bases-covered icon.
Eh, hmm, erm, judging by the prayers he wrote, I think he might have been bit, yeknow, how can I put this, autistic, with a whole lot of tourettes thrown in:

Note how the simple elegant and poetic words of the peasant Irish tongue have been nickel plated to do a sales job on another form of controlling language, that of the Church/government in Rome. Christ almighty. Even the manic monks couldn't destroy the sheer intensity of the sentiment thus spoken: Christ in every eye that sees me. Criost i ngach súil a fhéacann orm.
Good Deity, Son and All.

Fourteen year old Brian Rossiter. Terence Wheelock, 20 years old. Gardai say he hung himself with his tracksuit cord. (Trying to escape, no doubt.)

"Not a matter for An Garda. We have no corporate opinion. We're satisfied our integrity is beyond reproach. Ah sure he was the chief suspect anyway. No loss, really, as he was a scumbag, and well known to policemen like me."

MCDEE: The Archbishop has a big comfortable house in Drumcondra. Break into it and get the files. Look under 'F' for "Fiddlers".
DEKKO: "Fiddlers." Roigh'. Which one's 'F' again?
MCDEE: "Fuck. Feck. For jaysis sake." Burn the house down. We won't have him selling it for compensation and profit. It'll serve as a warning to others to quit or face fire.
DEKKO: Burn the house ourrofit, roigh'.
MCDEE: And make him sign the letter of resignation.
DEKKO: Resignation letter, roigh'.
MCDEE: In triplicate. And don't listen to him if he says he didn't do anything. They all say that.
DEKKO: They all say dah. Roigh'.
