Feels like its been ages since I wrote anything for this thingymeblog.
And this isn’t much of an entry either, just a quick note to say that I’m off home tomorrow, not sure when I’ll be online after Christmas, d’internet is far to slow in Sligo to make it likely that I’ll be posting from there. So while I’m gone have a Merry Christmas and a happy new year and all that sorta stuff.
I’ve been out doing the last of the present buying this morning. Back by two which great as it meant I missed the huge ginormous crowds. Course then B#5 rang to say that he couldn’t pick up the present we were getting for the gasur, so I had to head back into town and pick it up.
And then remembering that I had no wrapping paper I grabbed some in Penney’s[1] but I was in a rush and and didn’t look to closely. And guess what… yeah, I bought Birthday wrapping paper instead of xmas stuff. Don’t think I’ll bother to get proper christmas stuff though, just couldn’t be arsed and sure it all goes in the bin by the end of the day anyways.

This whole going out thing during the week, fun isn’t it?
The work Christmas party was last night; official part was fairly crap. Rubbish food and stuffy gentleman’s club environment. But the unofficial pub bit was quite fun. Of course there was a certain amount of alcoholic beverage utilised, but that is only to be expected, and I’m sure there are a few bad heads about this morning[1] I’m grand, vodka doesn’t really give my hangovers. But I am tired. When I got home last night, and was having the compulsory drink as many pints of water as quick as possible part of the evening I flicked on the telly and caught a bit of Donnie Darko and can I just say it doesn’t make a lot of sense when it sways in front of you.
Any road, can I just say that Dundalk football shouldn’t really be that important to anyone, threatening to set yourself on fire, not such a good plan.
If, however, you have three foot long arms then why aren’t you out saving the dolphins? answer me that.
And while I’m posting random clicky-linky things, pop over to On The Ditch and vote for who you think should win RTE’s sports person of the year. RTE aren’t opening it to the general vote, but a panel of experts will chose the winner this weekend.

Did you know that it is less than a month till xmas? Did ya?[1] That’s still a long time though, so you won’t find me adding to the “BUY NOW” mentality that seems to be swarming all over the place. Though if you are looking for amber lights for your tree, well I’m afraid they’ve all been used 
I have ideas for presents, but no actual presents. When I was home the lil sister had made a start on her cards. She 10[2] and already she has her christmas cards. In November! And not even the last week in November[3] What is the world coming to.
This time last year I was laughing at Niall Quinn, Eamonn Dunphy and Roy Keane[4] but this year they’ve made friends and are working together. Keane has even made friends with McCarthy. What is the world coming to when we can’t get our entertainment from footballing spats? What am I supposed to laugh at now?
The evilness of students who continue to chat[5] despite being asked, again and again to shut the hell up? Still, their exams start next week so I’m laughing, or even laffin at them.
Oh, that reminds me, I need ten great, fantastic, fantabulous, superb, *insert superlative descriptor of your own here* songs from 2006 for a mix cd thingy we’re doing at work. All by different artists, suggestions will be welcomed[6] in the comments section.
And seeing as I’m rambling about a variety of topics with no linkage whatsoever between the various subject; has anyone seen Pan’s Labyrinth yet? If not, off you go and watch it. If yes, isn’t it great? I hadn’t intended to go yesterday, but then I spotted a quick mention of it over at Fatmammycat’s and so wandered in[7] Tis great.[8] Bloody and violent and whimsical and fantastical and just plain great. An-mhaith ar fad.

- Point the first:
Conferring was yesterday, so that meant a half-day off work. And I’ve another half day today. Yay for half days. Plus I’ll be taking the 23rd off, and maybe the 24th, so November is a great day for its lack of work. Plus Christmas holidays start on the 20th of Dec till Jan 3rd. Which is nice.
- Uimhir a dó:
Went to see Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan last night. That is some pretty fucked up shit and no mistakes. Hilarious, but fucked up. And in case you’ve seen it and are wondering what is real and what isn’t Salon have a guide so you don’t have to do any work of your own.
- 3:
I’m turning into a racist, or maybe just a poster-racist. Honestly. Seeing all those Polish ads up with no word of English is starting to bug me. Not as much as the dud who scribbled “Write in fucking English” on the Polish note[1] in out apartment block.
- Point the 4th:
It felt really Christmassy yesterday. But I still haven’t bought any presents yet.
- FIVE:
Those Brian O’Driscoll posters[2] on the sides of Dublin Bus look shockingly bad.
- Point the 6th:
The end.
