gosh, i just hate seeing "last updated 3 days ago" when i log into livejournal. three days is a lot of news to have to re-cap, especially when i went home for the weekend.

lordkilljoy and i drove down to cork on friday evening. i got to see penelope_stone for a few hours that evening - we had turkey dinner at home; it was delicious.

ok - this post isn't going to be the most coherent thing i've ever written. i'm just home from my first day of work - like 10 hours on my feet in 2 inch heeled boots, and trying to learn all the products in the shop and how things around the till work. i feel more tired than i have since the day we walked around bangkok for 13 hours straight with about 2 10 minute breaks. i don't think anything would ever make me as tired as that again, and i don't have the blisters to contend with. no - compared to that day, i'm just peachy. but i am tired and i think if i went to bed right now i'd be asleep in minutes.
but i'll go to bed after i post this - i have to be up at 5:30 or something. buh.

anyway - the weekend. saturday night was goldsoundz. it was so great. the liquid lounge is a nice enough venue - smallish, but the crowd was just the right size. they played excellent music. me and lordkilljoy and jaarius drank cocktails while we were there. they make some excellent ones. so delicious - definitely to be tried again.

sunday was taleweavers. it was great to see the lads again. we actually got loads done, nearly everyone had work to show; it was great.
but i had to leave early to get the bus back up to dublin, and home to an apartment on my own! heh - no, it was fine. i got in at 7:20 and raced across the city to catch the train out to maynooth at 7:30 and made it (it kinda helped that the train wasn't actually until 7:39).

i'm playing "the world ends with you" on the ds at the moment. it's interesting. kinda fun and the main character, neku, reminds me so much of cloud strife. actually the 2 of them shiki and neku remind me of tifa and cloud. it's a little annoying, but i'll get over it. the only other thing that bothers me is that combat is impossible.
i also tried drawn to life for a bit - i love the drawing parts. the actual game play is kind of platformer standard, nothing really intriguing. but it was fun. except that i was playing on the bus and trying to draw was somewhat difficult. but i think i managed quite well. when i saw my cloud in the game, i was like "woah - that's kinda good looking" but i love drawing clouds.
and i also tried my hand at puzzle quest, but am woefully bad at it. it's kind of a visual recognition game where you have to get 3 colours in a row, but i just go for the first one i see and think little of strategy. you get "training" - basic and advanced. i passed the basic, because you play by yourself, but the advanced i had to try 4 times because the game kept killing me. oh well!

emmm, so yea. i had work today, i woke up to the sound of cars and was like "where am i? why can i hear cars going by outside? this isn't right." eventually i woke up enough to remember that i wasn't in cork. it was very odd.

and if i haven't mentioned: work is fine. nothing too stressful - just helping people find things in the shop mainly. except that i don't know where anything is yet. but that'll come with time.
i'm so tired though. i really have to get to bed. i think i'm going to crash out tomorrow night the second i get home.
