A week of disappointments it has been I'm afraid. Couple of things went on, some big, others not and some a little less impressive than others. There is some good news in the middle of it all, so bare with me.
Firstly I applied for an internship with some Senator or other which obviously didn't go through but sure what can you do. The lack of working in a Senator's office will look well on my CV I'm sure. I'll put it down beside the list of jobs I already have:
July - August 2009: worked in Senator Blogg's office. Oh wait, no I didn't. Balls.
Went to a few gigs last week one of them being Dara O'Briain. Now I've seen him before, twice actually. I happen to have quite a high opinion of the guy, or at least I did right up until Friday night. It's not that the show was bad, and most people seemed to enjoy it and laughed along. I felt it was a little forced. Awful lot of 80s references which although understood, didn't feel very relevant to me. I would barely get a handshake let alone a hug from Calvin Harris for being born so late in the 80s. And there was this huge section on parenting and pregnancy which I wasn't feeling at all. Diamonds in there, but none seen.
I watched the World Cup Final there. Needless to say I'm disappointed for the Netherlands because I thought based on their previous performances, they could have played a lot better tonight. For once Dunphy had it right though: illness in the game. I'm not a football fan generally, my family aren't either but all of us could tell that it was a disgraceful game.
Civil Partnership Bill became Act. That'll teach those protestors outside the Dáil. Absolutely delighted with the outcome. Ireland can overcome the Catholic Church and it will with time.
Listening to this track at the moment by One Night Only. Now I interviewed their frontman, way back when, he's not the greatest of guys. And being honest, I thought him a cut-paste of Luke Pritchard from The Kooks. Still it's not a bad track. Thought I'd send it on.
