where am i? what am i doing? what have i done?

so.

I was in Sweden 2 weeks ago. Main reason for the visit was to see my girlfriend. She had moved back home at the end of November, which sucked, so in mid December I got flights. The flights were a bit annoying. As she is now living in the south of Sweden in Malmö it turns out it is a little difficult to get flights to and from there during the winter months from Dublin. The same also applies to Copenhagen which is right beside Malmö. But i was able to find flights from Stanstead, ryanair flights ensue followed by easyjet to bring me to Copenhagen and then a train to Sweden. not a bad amount of travel just timing of it all was a bit crap. the ryanair flight out of Dublin was at 7 in the morning and i was in Stanstead by half 8 or something to that effect. My easyjet flight wasn't for another 6 hours! the train i was lucky, I got off the plane, through passport control and got a train ticket and the train arrived. Love good public transport.

So Sweden is awesome, I have been there a good six times by now. The food is tasty, the people are really nice, there is always a house party before you go out! Copenhagen is pretty also. I was there last year when i was at Roskilde, we headed into Copenhagen the day before the festival started. Danish is a strange language but everyone speaks English which is handy but I would feel better if I actually knew some Danish, like enough to show them that I'm trying! all i know is "farvell" which Calrsberg thought me.

When I got back, I flew into Dublin at 7.30am and then was in work for 1pm till 10pm. that was fun! pretty much had to work for six or seven days in a row as we were preparing for Inventory (stock take), a lot of people hate inventory because it is tedious. Personally I don't hate it, I don't love it but it does keep my mind occupied on the fact that i haven't been paid since before Christmas! I get paid Wednesday, January is officially the longest month EVER!!!

In other news, I'm moving out of my house in Dundrum. This makes me sad. I really really love living here. It is a class house and my landlord is amazing! I would love if someone i knew would take the lease over cause i don't want my landlord not have a tenant. At the moment it is just me in the house. since the end of December it was myself and one of the girls I was living with. My girlfriend moved back to Sweden and the girl she moved over here with 4 years ago moved in with her boyfriend in town. Myself and my housemate decided that we should move out since we had one couple interested in the spare room in two months. So I'm moving back home. I haven't lived at home for the last three years, i will also be driving my sorry ass to and from Dundrum for work which is going to suck. I reckon that I'll save some money in regards rent and bills versus petrol and parking. I'll probably move back out when the rents drop with this recession we're having!!

Also I am going to DisneyWorld and Miami next month. It should be awesome as my girlfriend is coming over here for a few days and then we all(my family) are going to Florida. I love traveling but I am slowly developing a hatred for airports.

Today I have some fluy cold thing that one of th lads in work had two days ago. not fun. I hate being/feeling sick! For a good part of today, around lunch time, all i could smell was wet dog. Not good when you are trying to enjoy a cajun chicken panini.

AND... the Prestige is going well, we have a third guitarist and he is awesome! We should play a show. Soon. I hope. Maybe. Record something. Possible. I hope. Maybe.

Later Mang!!

making use of time

I have about 5 mins before I have to go to the bank before going to work. So happy new year and I hope everyones Christmas was amazing. 2008 was really good, 2009 should be better!! My blog is a year old, go me! I'm going to Sweden for the weekend which is going to be class except for the 6 hour stay in Stanstead airport on the way over and back.

Awesome!
