So I’ve been pretty much drunk all weekend but between two pints I managed to do some things, I think. As the weather was particularly pleasant on saturday (early in the day), I went to Killiney/Dalkey for a walk on the beach and an early lunch in Finnegan’s. I enjoyed free wireless connection on my new Nokia N770 and sent a message on MSN to a friend, just cause I could. Pretty lame eh? I don’t mind. Went to 92 for the night and met a couple of friends there. Pretty cool night, which ended in Goatstown at one my friends’ friend’s home, around 5am.

Been sleeping a bit on sunday, went for food shopping. Had a pizza then went to Bolands around 5pm. Met a friend there who was watching the Liverpool/Manchester game (was it Liverpool? can’t remember to be honest). We moved to Galloping Green around… I don’t know, maybe 8pm or something and stayed there until midnight. Going back to his gaf, we stopped for a pint at some pub whose name I forgot, somewhere near Dean’s Grange. I think we watched a Muey Thai related movie with his mates afterwards then I went back home walking. At some point, my nose decided it should bleed, so I’ve been walking 25 minutes with my hands covered in blood. Sweet. Back to bed.

Ok, it’s monday, I’ve been driking all weekend, I’m off the booze until next friday. Or maybe I’ll get one tonight, just to end the weekend properly. Such a bad idea… Met a some friends in Bolands and drank 5 pints in the end…. Great weekend, can’t wait for the next one!

On a different matter, I’ve seen Transformers and 300 lately, those are two really nice movies (if you haven’t seen them already). I’ve also had some really nice food. I’m 25 and I feel like I should cook a bit more often (if only to learn how to cook properly), so I prepared a tartiflette (which you can see here) and spaghetti alla carbonara. Should definitely eat such food more often…

I don’t think I spent so much time watching TV since I left France, which in itself is a good thing. There were news then this documentary about the football game between Ireland (ROI) and England in Lansdowne Road on the 15th of February 1995. Great documentary, most of the interviewees were speaking Irish, which was unexpected but cool.

Anyway, commercial break, there come some images of people in a tower, then the screen reads “9/11, the day the world changed”. WTF! The world didn’t change for me on that day. Maybe it did for a lot of people in the US, but not for me and probably not for most people in the EU (or outside US I should say).

What has changed lately is the whole passport with RFID thing, the new rules at the airport. If you haven’t been in an airplane lately, it sounds like that: “Yeah, you can take your toothpaste in a plastic bag we’ll give you, but omg wtf is that thing? deodorant? Is that more than 100ml? Yes? OMGLOLWTF you can’t take that with you in the cabin, who knows what’s in there? Yeah, you can buy some at the duty free, and don’t miss our promotions on Whiskey bottles.”

Some weeks ago, I’ve been refused to take some dumbbell weights in the cabin. Ok, that may seem a bit weird, but I didn’t want to pay for luggage, so I decided to take them with me in the cabin (ryanair policy: “we’ll charge you 12 euros if you need to have luggage”). Security check told me that I couldn’t take them with me as they could be used like a weapon. Yeah right, those 2kgs weapons I was trying to smuggle were no good, but nobody cared about that 4kgs laptop. Morons.

My life didn’t change because of 9/11, it changed because of stupid morons in the US administration.

It’s been raining like piss almost non-stop for the past few weeks. This is getting really frustrating. I’m trying really hard to find occupations to keep me (mind and body) busy.

I’ve signed up for a gym club (after a long period without doing any intense physical exercise) as I may have already written on this blog. Going there three to four times a week has been a real challenge so far (doing 40 minutes cardio then quite a few resistance exercices everytime) but I’m usually fucked when I come back, so I’ve reduced substancially the time I spend in pubs (which can be considered a good or a bad thing). Today was pretty busy, which means even more gorgeous girls (that helps forgetting about the weather too).

Went to Tesco to buy a bottle of Sauternes to drink with the foie gras I brought back from France last week. Flatmate wasn’t in the mood of eating such food tonight so it’s postponed, but I had a piece nonetheless. I‘ve been thinking about dinner all day, there was no way I’d just forget about it.

Well this is the case tonight, but at least I won a free pint at the (real) Bolands quizz in Stillorgan tonight! 19 good answers out of 20, woot!
