Every season, there's a new song that I become obsessed with, just because it's so catchy. I can't help but feel irrational love for these songs. What was Outkast's Hey Ya and Kanye West's Gold Digger, is now Shakira ft. Wycelf Jean's Hips Don't Lie. Ridiculously good. There's a woman I work with at the International Institute that's always ( Read more... ) -
Leaving Dublin...
“There is a good time coming be it ever so far away.” -Sign outside Doyle’s, Dublin 2, Ireland -
Somethings don't translate well...
So, I've been seeing this Italian guy Alon a few times now, and it's mean, but his texts are are hilarious to me. Example:
"I hope we will have some time to be on our own together. I'd love to hug you. Hope you have the same desire."
Hug me? Euphemism? Who says that? But, oh, I have the desire. -
Time is running out
Oh God, Oh God. Less than a month left before I leave Dublin. So much work to do for finals. Not ready to go home. Apparently, there's no such thing as an illegal American alien in Ireland. Hmmmm... -
Only in Ireland

After spending a lot of time yesterday figuring out how the hell to get to the Ballsbridge section of Dublin 4, I made my way over there today. I got off the bus, and went down ( Read more... ) -

Tonight, Oli and I and a bunch of UCD students went to a club called Glitz upon which the men (the gays) bought me free drinks and showered me with teddy bears. All in all, a good night, although I should update when I'm not as inebriated. I managed to not take a taxi home ( ( Read more... ) -

Back in the computer lab
We (Oli, Cathy, and I) went out last night just as the bars were closing, which seems to be 11:30-12ish, drank a quick pint and searched for places that were still opened in this city (which isn't very much in comparison to American cities). We ended up at a place called Sin. It had a fare share of Eurotrash dancing, expensive drinks, and chatty ( Read more... ) -
The Rhode Island connection is worldwide
Ok, so for orientation and registration we have to go departmental/academic meetings with other JYA (junior year abroad) people and sign up for classes. I go to the meeting for politics, and who do I see at the other table? A redhead who looked like vaguely familar to someone in high school. As we go around the room introducing overselves, our ( Read more... )
