what do you call those?!?

Hello my blog readers Christie here with some several day updates. So today is Friday which means that tomorrow is Friday in working measures. The big circus is this weekend, and i am off on sunday so when i wake up at the crack of noon i will be going to Temple bar for some genuine circus/acrobatics action. so Here's the craic here in dublin...first of all it's said crack, like the drug which is slang that means what's going on and it has another meaning but i can't remember what it is. so on Tuesday i went to work and i think my ATM card came, woo hoo. Wednesday, it was hotter then a cat's flannel pajamas. And since we didn't have AC in the shop you can bet the health food store had had better smells then that day. I met someone from Chicago so we chatted about the MN hip hop scene and Del the Funky Homosapien, so that was the excitment aside from Fransesca coming home from Italy in the evening, she was glad to be bed but her Grandmother is sick so she felt really horrible leaving. She is waiting for the call from her mother telling her, her grandmother has passed. I know how she feels with all my fun family stuff so I could totally understand how she felt, and she said "i am so lucky to have you as a roommate for being able to understand the torn feeling i am feeling." what a sweetie. we also practiced our irish, none of which i remember but perhaps i will put the effort in saturday after work. Thursday was movie day. I went with my two coWorkers to Ruth's house, one of my coworkers, for dinner (chickpea potato curry, Ruth made it Yum) and then we went to Superman. It was a pretty good movie considering the farcity of it, why can't they figure out that Superman is Clark Kent, is it that hard? but it was good to hang out with other people, and surprisingly we didn't talk about work at all, i think everyone had, had enough, it is so miserable and hot we just don't want to think about it! oh yeah, on thursday the store reached an all time high of 85F, inside the store, it was cooler outside, nice. so not so much work got done and there were lots of giggle fits by the three of us. i got to see another suburb in the north of the city where Ruth lives. She lives in like a 2 story/3 bedroom condo type thing, with her husband Ruth, as the irish say "it was just lovely". And Friday, well we worked and it was pretty uneventful in the store, just Ruth, myself, and Eamon. So here's a funny story for you I was instructed to go and pick up my boss's perscription at the chemist's (pharmacy) i love the strange adventures of the Down to Earth, my boss was also singing the Teddy Bears picnic song written by Jerry Garcia, and i told him this and he said oh it's just a children's song, and i said i know it's a Jerry Garcia song and the book with CD was just released last August, i had no idea that i had that stored in my memory, isn't it strange how things are triggered even though it was over a year ago that i thought and read about that. strange. then i went home and a beer with my flat mate paul, he just got a job in his profession, woo hoo for him. he will be working with at-risk teens at a sort of retreat camp, so he's pretty excited but raises a whole bunch of things like, getting 4 wheels instead of 2, 1 hour commuting each way, what to do about the drug volunteering at the methadone clinic across the way. so that's the word here in dublin, tomorrows friday (saturday) then it's circus day.

xoxo,
