tips and tidbits

new rule. when i make a tip i'll use that tip to get on the internet. today i made nearly €4 in tips. that'd give me four hours, but really .. who needs that much time to get over new emails, facecrap, upload pictures, faceblast, new blog post and change my status on foolsbook?

apparently me.

so it's november, eh! my goodness how the time flies. i have to start saying i've been here for a while instead of a few weeks, as well that i am staying until august, not for a year.

i've posted a few pictures that i've taken over the past several weeks. most of them are from the guinness storehouse and i promise to explain why i went trigger happy capturing images of the tourist practicing their gaze, but for now simply enjoy the candid shots, appreciating them for what they are: the tourist in it's natural habitat. as well, take a few moments to explore my favourite photoblog - photographing the photographer.

matty has supper ready, so i'd best be off before he eats it all. he's pretty excited about it too because he's been marinating the pork bits for two days.

can't wait! mmmmm

as well, stay tuned for a happy story about the jazz weekend. i feel i owe you something less morbid after the last post was so upsetting. it'll be about the Bartenders Ball and how the past few days have shown just how much fun i had. until then i leave you with a picture of the dogpark a top st patricks hill.

Hey Brad; if you do make it to Galway you should definitely stay at the Eyre Square hostel because it's cheap and dirty, if you need to use the internet go to the place on shop street. You'll see a person wearing (it's the person wearing the sign; not holding one) an ad for phone services. That's the cheapest internet in town.

If you come to France where would you go? If you want to head south for a couple of days I'll be close to Carcassonne for a couple of weeks in a couple of weeks.

Anyway, even if I don't see you have a great time. I kind of miss Ireland since I've been gone.

mano,

i'll be in paris this weekend, which doesn't work at all with your plans. but i'm going because i want to be at vimy for nov. 11. i'll be there for a few days, but work is calling me back for the following weekend.

thanks for the galway tips, i'll keep them in mind. matty and i are thinking of moving to galway in the new year ... but just thinking.

cheers,
