Hi!
Thanks for visiting Quality Waffle and for wondering who’s behind it!
I’ve tried to give some focus to the blog, so I tend to gravitate towards writing about plays that I’ve attended in Dublin along with some other interesting things to do in the city, such as festivals and gigs. I also like to keep an eye on how the arts industry is doing in Ireland and abroad so I’ll no doubt regurgitate some news from the successes of Irish artists.
Comments – both kind and …eh…constructive are always welcome – although info on where to buy certain male enhancement products are not so welcome – does anyone actually click on those links?!
If you don’t want to comment, you can email me at qualitywaffle@gmail.com
I do hope you enjoy reading my blog and be sure to visit again,
Kate
Dear Kate,
I am writing a magazine piece about the art and practice of letter writing, and would very much like to contact your friend Eric Asboe and his colleague John Engelbrecht who run A Literal Letter Service in Iowa City. Can you put me in touch with them, or them with me? I do have their Iowa City p.o. box address if necessary.
Many thanks,

Hi Tom, thanks for reading the blog and for contacting me. I’ve forwarded your details on to Eric so hopefully he will contact you soon! If you don’t hear from him let me know and I’ll plague him with emails because I think his service is fantastic and deserves loads of exposure!! Thanks again, Kate.
Hi Kate,
I’m using some of your material in my essay on Flann OBriens work (at swim-two-birds) could you give me a rough date on when you posted the blog? Just so I can reference your work correctly.
Thanks,
Shauna Jones.
Hey Shauna, that’s great to hear – what area are you concentrating on? I so want to go back and read At Swim again – such a fun read. I just looked up my dashboard there and I published it Dec. 23rd 2009 – fun Christmas!!! Best of luck with O’Brien and thanks so much for visiting the blog, Kate.
Hi Kate,
I’m also doing an essay on At Swim in relation to formal conservatism Vs experimentalism. I’m just wondering how to cite your essay please? I now have the date, but not the rest. Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Sarah
Hey Sarah, well it really depends on what referencing method you’re using – None of the referencing methods are particularly good at keeping up to date with online referencing. I use MLA so I guess that would go: O’Connor, Kate. ‘Flann O’Brien and Postmodernism’. Quality Waffle (online blog). http://qualitywaffle.ie/flann-obrien-and-postmodernism/ December 2009. That makes sense doesn’t it?! Although it was submitted as a final year dissertation to the University of Limerick, so that may need to be mentioned even though UL didn’t publish it. All the references I used are listed at the bottom of the page (http://qualitywaffle.ie/flann-obrien-and-postmodernism/) so if you’re looking to use any of those quotes, the references are there. Kate.
Thanks, Kate. Regards, Sarah
Hi Kate,
Also came across your blog while writing essay mentioned above. It’s very nicely written and the references are handy.
