Weekend

Went in search of a pub last Friday night for a quite pint with Cathal, in the Smithfield area thats not that easy.
Having to put off the advances of a hooker on the way, Dice Bar was the first port of call. First time there and thought it was a nice place. Nowhere to sit unfortunately, so we went on to the cobblestone. Also my first time there and we spent and even briefer time there.
We finally settled in the Glimmerman on Manor St, an old haunt from the Arbour Hill days. An interestingly decorated place, cheap pints & a good mix of tunes on the jukebox, its a surprise that it wasn't busier, not that I was complaining at the time.

Anyway when I got home I watched some TV and crashed out for work on Saturday. A well spent Friday night all in all.

Saturday was work follwed by the recession session on Charlemount street.

Sunday was the Superbowl, good game and good half time show to boot. Go Steelers!

The Fear

I quite like this song, I'm not sure how this affects my musical taste really. Am I becoming a popbitch?

2009 eh

Well a new year(and 3 weeks) and a new blog post. So far this year i've been primarily watching movies and working, however last monday i started back in college and now i have to watch less movies. Work is unaffected.
Anyway the movies i got through in the last few weeks were(in no order)....

Manhattan Murder Mystery & Hannah & Her Sisters - Woody Allen films are rarely bad IMO, and these two were great. Funny and intriguing in equal parts.


Grosse Point Blank, Better Off Dead & War Inc - John Cusack films are another genre(maybe?) that I have a soft spot for, High fidelity is one of my favourite films ever. GPB s rivalling it for favourite john cusack film. Better off dead is an 80's classic and War, Inc is only really for more hardcore fans as it doesn't really jump out at you.


Star Wars:Original Trilogy - Classic sci-Fi, watched back to back in one sitting(i've become a real nerd now).


Cannonball Run, Gumball Rally & Smokey & The Bandit - Road movies, a guilty pleasure, comedy sub-genre, I like them alot and have lined up the sequels for a quite night in the future.

Christmas is coming..

..and I'm in the middle of my exams. And I'm so sick of studying that I'm blogging again.
Well what an unblogged semester it has been, my first post in 3 months isn't really going to make up for it.

Since then ive discovered some interesting blogs that i read regulary.

Strange Maps - about the wonderful world of cartography for the hell of it, rare looks at the world from different perspectives. I thourghly recommend it if you have even the slightest interest in geography or any such subject.

Passive Aggressive Notes - The angry or approaching angry notes that people leave. Sometimes hilarious, sometimes tragic but altogether a good read, because we've all been there and we've all lived with note leavers in our time.

Fail Blog - Revel in the failure and stupidity of others. Part of the umbrella of internet phenomona started by LOLcats.

I reaslise this post has absolutely nothing to do with Christmas, its just a distraction for myself really.

A New Year, A New Blog

Its been far too long since my last blog posting.
An eventful summer has passed, 2 trips to london, Electric Picnic 08, turning 24 and living in city independetly for the first time ever.

But now im back in college and will be spending a ridiculous amount of time on the internet anyway i feel its time to get back to blogging.

I have a busy year ahead of me, Attempting to get a degree and finally leave college, as well as juggling a job, being Captain of a UCD Swimming & Waterpolo Club as well as sitting on the committee of the Irish University Swimming & Water
Polo Association, thrown in with a few other minor engagements on boards of different organisations, its going to be tough to keep up with my gig attending and music listening duties, but i promise to try my darndest.
