Hello World
So tell me, what do you crazy kidz do for fun these day?
I'm trying to come up with exciting things to do for two or more people other than going to the pub. This is the capital city! There has got to be more do to in the evenings other than the same old cinema/food/pub/gig thing.
Anyone got ideas? |

A guy I work with (quite possibly the soundest man in the universe) is running a bike maintenance course in April. Anyone who cycles should definitely check it out. Having a basic idea of how to fix your bike can help prevent bike disasters but it's mostly just fun being able to fix mechanical things yourself. A first for me. :)

Date: Saturday 21st April 2007
Time: 2pm to 5.30pm
Location: Courtyard (or Shop if wet weather)
Cost: 15euro 12 for members/ and an option to join The Dublin Cycling Campaign for half price.

Purchasing the right bike
Cycling Safety
Bike accessories/ essential kit
Dublin Cycling Campaign – Campaigning to Make Dublin a More Bicycle Friendly City
Practical Session:
Basic tools
Basic Ongoing Maintenance

So along with the rest of the universe, I went to see Pirates of the Caribbean at the weekend. Very disappointing.
My favourite ninja sums it up perfectly: reeeeeview |

Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce Tamago Aisu, or Egg-shaped Ice Cream.
Genius! It's basically a balloon filled with chocolate ice cream.
Hmm, that looks a bit dodgy. How are you supposed to get the ice cream out? Wait, handy instructions are on the back.
Um..now what?
Suck it like you did yo momma! |

Saturday July 23rd.
Barbeque.
Be there!
(More details as they arrive.)
There will vegetarian stuff provided for those on diets or who get off on that kind of thing, so no excuses, people! Mark your diaries, iCal's, PDA's, or old-skool paper notebook's NOW!
Looking forward to seeing y'all. :) |

I bought a PSP for my future flatmate five days ago. (No study for me next year!) I have thus far resisted opening it. I don't think this period of abstinence is going to last beyond tonight.
In other news, four books I heartily recommend:
* The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay (Michael Chabon)
* A Scanner Darkly (Philip K. Dick)
* Enduring Love (Ian McEwan)
* Middlesex (Jeffrey Eugenides) |

Went hiking in the Rokko Mountains on Sunday. The Japanese make the best signs ever.

Rare KitKat alert!
Bought for me by my friend Amye in Nagoya. Not available in Osaka! Wow. Nagoya is famous for producing apples and so they have their very own KitKat flavour. |

[May. 4th, 2005|11:57 am] |
If I were to buy a psp for someone, and then bring it home in July... it would work on games bought in Europe, right?
On a related note, only 50 working days left in japan! If anyone wants anything brought home, get your orders in now.
See all y'all in July! :) |

There was also a chocolate pliers, but I forgot to photograph that. :)
