The Bloody Sunday Museum and the Siege Museum, these will underwhelm. They rely wholly upon emotional appeal, and I am not particularly moved by emotional appeal, especially not if it is a wall that is making it. For all those aspiring museum designers out there: walls can’t make emotional appeals.
Except this wall. This wall is special. Its name is Ignatius. tbh its a bit of a prick.I do generally enjoy statues, especially if they are of Victoria. Less so if they have been blown up. -_-
The Guildhall, however, was interesting, and not only because of the statue of Victoria, we were lucky enough to have an absolutely stellar guide whose history lesson delved into history. Delved I tell you! The building itself had some lovely stained glass windows, of which I have not a single satisfying picture, so here’s the mother of all organs instead.
ok, yeah I’ve seen bigger and more ridiculous organs, but come on…its still a pretty good organ
We did not spend much time in Derry, so perhaps it makes sense that its impact was disproportionate to that of Belfast, as we did only the most important stops. I do regret not being able to stay in Derry longer. At least I’ll always have Derry Girls.
So... who all has seen Buffy the Vampire Slayer? I love that show way too much. Keep in mind that I am a male college student, so my enjoyment of this show that was geared more towards the 8th grade girl audience does feel a little wierd. But I'm trying to get over it. I really am. Maybe I should just stick with the Lord of the Rings and a Song of Ice and Fire. Though now that I mention it, Game of Thrones has sort of taken all the fun out of reading ASOIAF. So what else is there? Oh, I really, really, really, really hate Mortal Instruments, but I love the Very Secret Diaries. (its by the same author, she just tweaked her name) Oh, and Percy Jackson! I never really got into Riordan's other series, I haven't even picked up the Norse one, and I only ever read any of the Heroes of Olympus for the Percy and Annabeth story that took three books to pick up again. Political Science major, History minor... Sometimes I wonder whether I should have just majored in History. My history GPA is higher, I am better with history than most history majors (though that doesn't say much) and history is just something that I find very easy to get into. But they also have to write a lot more than I am comfortable with...so...nope!
