Cause it's snowing...
Fleet Foxes are a folk band from Seattle which I discovered a couple of years ago through my all-time favorite podcast Nialler9.
This song is amazingly cute and for some reason it makes me think of Christmas.
Fun Time!
The Poke is a humour site form the UK specialized in fake news, satire but also some quite cool stuff. Such as a collection of books funny covers (most of them being as real as it gets, they can be found on Amazon). The one which stood out for me was:

Digging more I found out it gets much better as one can buy online the following:
Punk Rock Fun Time Activity Book
Heavy Metal Fun Time Activity Book
Hell yeah. Electronica anyone?

Beware of pickpocketing. It's annoying.
After being stranded in Barcelona with no money or ID after having my wallet stolen (by my own people) I learned the following:
The whole bureaucracy thing is not so annoying, except that the Romanian consulate will charge you 65 Eur for a document that you can only travel to Romania with and Barcelona airport staff is convinced that you need a residence permit and an immigration office number to stay in Ireland (EU anybody?).
Mossos D'Esquadra (Catalan Police) 5 stars, Romanian Consulate 4 stars, Aer Lingus minus 10 stars, Barcelona airport people minus 100 stars, Dublin friends 20 stars, Catalan friends' families 100000000000 stars.
Dear fellow thieving citizens thank you for offering me 3 more days on the beach. I hope you choke on my 20 quid.

If you have an issue with the new security system that is beginning to take over the airports now it's time to protest against it.
