Finally found the new Fred Vargas book out in a proper size. I hate the over large paperback. Trade size or whatever. So awkward so I put off buying Wash this blood clean from my hands until now. It still isn’t as neat as Seeking whom he may devour but it’ll do.

I also bought The Assassination of Jesse James by the coward Robert Ford because of the film. And I read the opening paragraph or two. Seems good. And it has a pretty cover, don’t you think?

Jesse James

To be honest I shouldn’t really be blogging at the mo’. I should be tidying my room. But I couldn’t be arsed. It is cleaner than it usually is, no clothes on the floor. A fair few books and other whatnots scattered about. But de mudder, who I’m tidying for, can deal with that. Besides, it isn’t like she’ll be hear long. One night, then the rugby on Sat and then she’s off. She’s seen a hell of a lot worse :)

Went to see Enchanted again tonight. It’s a really great film. Plus it gives me an excuse to post with absolutely no thought whatsoever. Excellent


Title is from Family, the episode of Buffy that Amy Adams was in. She didn’t say that though, that was Spike. Any excuse for a Spike quote ;)

Ooops, almost didn’t post today. That would have been a disaster considering my ambition is to post every day this week. I know, I could have remained silent on that and no one would have known about my near failure, or indeed my failure tomorrow, or whenever it comes, but then I wouldn’t have had any opening sentence for this post. And that would have been a real disaster. After without an opening sentence I wouldn’t have gotten very far in this whole post, would I?

Can’t have a second sentence without that first one.

Was at footie this evening. We’re playing twice a week now. Once indoors, once outside. When I say we… well, I’ve missed the past few Thurs due to “other commitments”, jayzis, you’d think I had a life or something interesting[1] like that.

Luckily enough we had a grand total of no injuries today. Which was nice as last week there was an incident involving a football being kicked and a football smashing into someone’s face. Not mine, which was good for me. But straight into the glasses of the person who was hit, which was not good for him.

I’ve also decided to upload a couple of batches of photos to flickr and have discovered that I haven’t stuck anything up there at all this year. My god! That’s shocking. I’m thinking that most will have to be private, what with the drinking and the actual peoples there, but sure if you don’t know me you wouldn’t be interested in pictures of me and my good friend Mr. Alcohol.

Also, and hugely importantly, the Six Nations kicks off this weekend[2] Are we thrilled with excitement[3] Me and de mudder are heading to Croke Park on Sat to watch Ireland kick Italy’s ass. And if we don’t win, convincingly, we’ll instead have a “wee chat” with Mr. O’Sullivan, so we will.


Title from Titanic, see the link there? Disaster movie, but this post is instead a fabulous avoidance of disaster!

  1. I dont
  2. self-link!
  3. bonus points if you can identify this, We make excitement happen, only not you H, you should know

Look, look, Sharpe will be back on our screens this year. Mmmmm. Sean Bean.

Went up home to Sligeach on Fri. Twas de gasúr’s birthday recently so brought pressies with me, which he got on Sun and much enjoyed. Bob the Builder = success with 2 year old.

On Sat I left Sligo and headed all the way to Athlone to watch de brudder play rugby. They won, which was nice. I’m so used to supporting losing teams that it was quite surprising :) Final score was summat like 41-3 to UL Bohs. Trifficly exciting photos on facebook if you know me there.

In other news, nothingness continued.

2008[1] hasn’t been so great for me and the regular blogging, has it? at least so far. All that may change, for everything changes, so some one once said, somewhere. But who knows if yo[2] was telling the truth or not. Maybe nothing changes. Maybe everything stays the same but we just can’t cope with such monotony and so trick ourselves into believing that the world was different once upon a time. Maybe the past isn’t a different country at all.

*/whatever that was *

I had the weirdest of dreams last night; never fear I shan’t bore you with the fuzzy details that linger on in my memory. I’ll just tell you that it involved dead bodies, weird soldiers, life on the run, and other such exciting adventures.

Dreams can be quite strange you know.
