its another tuesday hurrah(i like tuesdays for no reason other than that they are!)

Let me think-it's been a crazy week...(so crazy in fact that I can't stop saying the word crazy...worrying to say the least...I blame Simon and Garfunkel!)
In fact lets start at S&G...wow double wow triple quadruple amazingly amazing wow...they ALmost made me cry but I'm a strong and balanced character and so was blatantly not sucked into the vortex of hero worship adoration and joy...no no NO not me...erm...but I digress!they did a proper Old Friends all our greatest hits hanging out on stage making people cheer brilliant gig....i'll admit that my phone's photos don't exactly capture the spirit of the occasion-but III know what the teeny tiny red dot is(...it's paul simon...duh..!) so that's ok!
Fell asleep on the way home(ended up going all th way back to Limerick 'stead of staying up-don;t look a girft-lift in the mounth I say!Fell asleep on the way home for the first time in lliving memory-apparently 6 hours of standing will do that to you!was a bit bad though seeing as how that left our driver all alone in waking land-thankfully made it home with no death so all was good!
Was supposed to go back up to Galway on Monday and do some work NO said I and kidnapped the UL computer facilities(well..a very small proportion of them...) and worked from there begging the question:does one ever truly graduate??..answered by the letter I received the next day asking me as a graduate to give the money...hrmm...I wonder what my answer was...!!!
Proceeded to go see spiderman 2 which was a SCARY movie not fro small children...welll..except the 8 year old we went with who loved it....maybe it's just me!
Npothing else really excotong happened-went to galway for about 8 hours on wed, sotrted out my thesis so gonna start on thta...any minute now....came home hung out with my sarah went to fun goign away to Friday night(frolicking frolics) ended up slodging...except I was too sovber to call it slodging so it must just have been lodging, convinced my mate DAve to come down for a party on Sat night, kidnapped molc's birthday through use of chemical experiments, to whit:
a)placing jelly babies in Miller beer causes an extreme explosion of fizzingness which is quite amusing but can land on sandwiches if people aren't careful
b)chewing up tiny packets of refreshers and taking a mouthful of miller causes an internal mouth fizzing up reaction which is even funnier when people start laughing during said fizziness-hurrah for sinks!
c) people will pay me to play twister.....this one I still don't understand but at least I've found a career option for if this translation thing falls through (by the time I collected my money it was at e1.50 but I'm told it was closer to 2.50 at one point....I'll find out who stole my hard earned cash...!!!!)
d)it's impossible to put left foot on red when all the reds are behind you and you've spent the rest of the evening experimenting with Miller and various sugary products..

And after we finally left the scene of partying(sorry guys-we're crap-KICK US OUT PROPERLY next time....I blame sarah though....safety in distance is great =( ) we dropped baby sarah home and there were hugs and good luck calling =)

So on sunday I went to galway to have dinner and go out in Cuba* cos another of my adopted ppls was heading to Nepal to teach English to buddhist monks(YAY!!) I've been promised a yak-it had better be delivered in September on said adoptees return ;)
and so betwixt today and yesterday I've done about 70000 hours of relaxing and 3 hours work!

Ooh ooh ooh-and happiness is drinking hot chocolate through a rocky bar while tucked up in bed readining romantic teenage fiction but ONLY cos the heroine likes star wars and buffy and is therefore actually cool...ok?!;)
NB beware the ensuing sugar high(though admittedly the Kendal Mint cake didn't help)

and now i'm off to buy cinema tickets =)

Oh and mental note-ALWAYS invite other people's birthday parties back to your house-it is many funs!

THis has possibly been the best week ever!
 
No really!
 
Last weekend I went to Oxegen with my boyz and it was mighty! MAd about them I am(despite the fact that blatantly my expression of ownership is highly inaccurate to say the least!) There was camping and putting up tents(which I NEVER did before cos I have a sensible family that think things like "Lets go on holiday to some place warm and comfortable"!) and I'll admit right here and now that my tent was only put up due to the aid of some aforementioned boys cos I was kinda crap....but tp skip to Monday morning, my tent taking downing was a joy to behold!!!
 
Arrived Friday nighyt in the mental campsite of madness...it was so weird cos there were people everywhere and tentrs everywhere and everybody trying to stake out their own little piece of territory before the ravening hordes(of other campers obviously....) stole them all (bwa ha ha ha ha!) But the feeling on the site was just crazy-people would start cheering at one end of it and then this cheer would just travel all the way through the site and then go back again...I'm sure if I were poetic there'd be something here about waves of sound but thankfully for everyone, I have no such illsions!
 
And then saturday was all bands all day....let me think-the chalets were really good, snow patrol were AMAZING, franz ferdinand really good(lot better than I'd expected) the strokes did a cool set, massive attack looked great but left really early to see the cure who were a bit of a disappointment cos they played a real gig instead of a festival gig so I knew about 1% of their stuff!!Oh loads and loads of gigs The Divine Comedy AMAZING(I like that word!)-sunday the sawdoctors and hothouse flowers and erin mckeown and AMAZING Ash followed by EVEN AMAZINGER UNBELIEVABLY BRILLIANT Muse(who were who I actually went up for so I was well happy!) etc etc etc lotsa fun, baby wipe showers, 6 a.m. morning call on Monday, random encountering of Northern guy who'd been mugged, had lost his tent and kept accusing me of burning it down(only in a NICE way though..!)
So let's be honest here-it was a pretty perfect weeekend even wth the rain and the fast food and the ridiculously expensive fairground rides(I HAD to go on the big spinny thing though...it's like a LAW!!!)
AND THEN went into work(where I work for myself HURRAH!) on Tuesday and had another 3 hour lunch break and then went in to have a chat with my head honcho guy about vague business propositions for our company cos the stuff they were offering us was crap and we wanted to say so...which I did at length(in a VERY polite way-I have to write a masters for this man yet!) only to find out that it had all been sorted all along and there went another 20 minutes of my life that I'm never gonna get back!!!!So business stuff looks good to go from the 1st of October fingers crossed.
AND THEN on Wednesday I managed to knock over a chair which I was half falling asleep on...but only for the amusement of my lecturer...I swear!!
Yesterday did about 2 hours work and ran ALL OVER THE PLACE and eventually managed to buy me a happy smiley motorola-y camera phone that I am MOST amused by-and kept meeting ppl in the street, which was nice-specially when they said "You must be thrilled!"...and I'm going,"....ermm....why?" and they're going, "Becuase the Irish government is gonna try and get irish recognised as a working language in the EU!" I realise this means very little to anyone else but to me that means guarantee of future employment!...So I was kinda amazingly happy. And then I had a meeting about my thesis which seemed to go ok so hopefully I can start that next week and get the stupid thying out of the way!!
ANd then I got a call saying lets go to Simon and Garfunkel on Saturday-to which I said HURRAH!!!!!!!!!With MANY exclamation marks!!
So I started thinking, where will I stay in Dublin-at which point I got a randoiom call off my best LIv, whoi not only lives in Leixlip, but turns out to be goign to the gig too so I can stay at hers no bother...
 
Can you SAY jammy dodger???!!! 
 
So obviously I went for drinks with some of my babies and a swede and got plastered on ONE pint-drank 3 more and made my merry way home in a very merry fashion.
And today I finished off all my proofreading and am taking another half day...because I can!!
 
I seem to remember other people having bits on their blogs and live journals and things saying what mood they're in.....
I think mine goes without saying =)
 
And going home next weekend for a big party which is cool..but because my Sarah is leaving me...which seems to be the only depressing thing in the world of me!(bar the guy who thinks he has whiplash and doesn't)
 
Potato potato potato
