passport

so, despite my eruption on twitter the other day (wwaaaaaaa..... the price of getting a new passport went up since last month. i'm just not in the mood for this right now. it's so expensive.) i sent off for my new passport today. it took 2 hours of cycling from one end of the village to the other and waiting around for the garda station to open. but in that time i got to go in around the castle (i'd only ever walked around the grounds before). it's kinda cool inside - they have an informative exhibition; i never guessed how many battles this place was involved in, or how much power it held between 1200 and 1500.
so my new passport should be here the second week of september. and then me and lordkilljoy can go on a last minute holiday to the sun and hopefully the temperature will have dropped a little.

mmm, muesli bar and yoghurt with honey for lunch. yummy. i don't really have any other news.

i moved my keyboard receiver around a few weeks ago, but now if i have it on my lap i have to go far away from my desk or i start loosing letters. it's a little annoying.
