My New Album

This is kind of fun.

1 - Go to Wikipedia. Hit “random”

The first random Wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.

2 - Go to Quotations Page and select "random quotations"
or click http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four or five words of the very last quote on the page is the title of your first album.

3 - Go to Flickr and click on “explore the last seven days”
or click http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days
Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

Here's what I got:

Bono? Really?

So last night after work (well I guess it was really this morning at 5ish) Meg and I obviously needed a taxi to get home. It normally takes 25-30 minutes to get home after work, so we're with the taxi driver for a while. Some of them are... interesting, some are really nice, some are really talkative. Well the guy that we got last night (Gerry) was incredibly nice and talkative. He was telling us that he lives up near we do, so he was probably going to go home right after he dropped us off. He was also saying that it's been his dream to drive across the US, but could never find anyone to go with him. All in all it was a great conversation, and he's still on the old taxi rates so it ended up being cheaper than most other taxis. Oh yeah, he also told us that we were sitting in the car where Bono's been on many occasion. At hearing this, Meg and I both said, 'No way!' He was giving us this epic tale about all things U2 when he asked if we wanted to see Larry Mullen's house. So we were like, 'psh heck yeah.' Haha, so if last night wasn't interesting enough working at a night club on Valentine's Day, the trip home added to the interest. It made our night that much better.

Needless to say we're going to be calling Gerry on every occasion where a taxi is needed.

Incredible

Incredible, that's all I really can say about these.




And this is just plain old cute. I still want one. (Yes, a whistling puppy)

Buck Whaleys

I finally have a job. I work at Buck Whaleys with Meg. She originally got the job first, but since they were just opening up they weren't fully staffed, so, I got hired as well. It's an interesting place. There's a night club downstairs with two bars, and a piano bar upstairs. Meg and I are floor staff downstairs which means we just basically make sure everything is clean throughout the night. It's a fairly easy job, and well, it's a job. I'm still looking for something else where I can make more money during the day, then work at the bar at night. It feels good to finally have a job, but strange as well. I think it's mostly because it's a very new experience. Both Meg and I are not used to the night club scene in Ireland and dealing with drunk Irish people all the time. But hey, it's worth it, if only for the stories I'll bring back home (oh, and the money).

Other than that nothing much has been happening. We've been getting home around 4:30 or 5 in the morning and sleeping most of the day. Right now we're watching the Ireland-France rugby match for the Six Nations and Ireland's winning. It's going to be interesting going to work tonight with all the French and Irish people clashing/drinking/celebrating/moping. Wish me luck.

Beds Aren't Only For Sleeping

This is my new favorite thing.


As is this.


I like the simple things in life. I lead a simple life, that might have something to do with it.
