It is utterly amazing to me that I have been back in L.A. for almost the amount of time I lived in Ireland.

I feel like I did so much when I was there (though it didn't feel that way at the time), yet since I've been back I've accomplished so little.  I emailed Anita and Charlie, but I have yet to send out the mass email with a link to my work ( Read more... )

If I had made a different decision on (or around) October 10, at this very moment I would be just returning from what would have been a six-month stint in Ireland instead of a four-month stint ( Read more... )

Took them around Dublin, then headed over to Galway, where we are right now. We all love it. Spent the day at Inis Mor, the biggest of the Aran Islands, and went on a great 10 euro bus tour. They leave for ( Read more... )

So a garda officer went to talk to them last night, and Sinead told them that I never paid a deposit, and that she doesn't owe me any money.  Lying to the cops.  Great.  And since I didn't sign anything, there's no proof either way.  Fantastic.  So on top of the 450€ I lost when it was stolen, I'm also out my €450 deposit, along with ( Read more... )
