so after thursday's post, I walked with Harris to the petrol station because he wanted cigarettes and I wanted an apple and some ice cream - they have this fruit ice pop/creamsickle/twisty thingie, I don't know, but it's the best ice cream I have ever had haha. Then we walked back and as soon as I got back Robert said he was taking the bus home so I packed my stuff and went. Most people went to Limerick but I stayed home and took a nap and did some work and then woke up from my nap after Amber and Harris and Franz and Beki got back and we hung out in the kitchen and talked forever about funny stories about our cities.
Friday we had another field trip. We went to the Natl Park. It was cool but very rainy and windy. and the bus started to reek. We stopped to get coffee and tea and then came home. I went home and took a shower. After the guys/girls got home from the studio, Amber and Beki walked me to Franz and Harris's cuz I thought they were going to the New Hotel, but they wanted to go to Logue's for some reason, so we went and as soon as we walked in they decided they didn't wanna be there after all so we left to go to the New Hotel like I had wanted to in the first place. Aiden was there and we hung out with him and talked about American politics and how you have to have your pet in quarantine for 6 months if you were to move here.
Aiden wanted to go get Amber but we said we'd walk home. Amber was asleep in the living room. A bunch of people were over watching a movie. We played card games for awhile which was fun. I went to close one of the windows and accidently stepped on Tyler's glasses and the lens fell out and then almost started crying cuz I felt so bad but he keeps telling me not to worry cuz he was gonna get new glasses anyway, and we superglued the lens back in. Today we went to Gort and I bought him cookies. :(
But yeah, we went to a food store that was like Save-A-Lot in Baltimore, except without the bums. Haha. I got a loooot of food. Hopefully I won't have to go foodshopping again till next month. We went to Harris and Franz's cuz I picked up some groceries for them since they didn't get on the list to go to Gort. We dropped them off and watched some ridiculous movie that was on tv and drank coffee. Then we went back to our house and I took reference photos of Amber for her to draw from. They turned out really well I think, and I will post one. We walked to school which took forever, and I discovered that messenger bags here on 40 minute walks are no fun and hurt. So Amber is going to let me use her backpack on the way back.
Anyway after foodshopping we dropped our groceries off in Robert's shuttle and then walked to O'Sullivan's Hotel Lounge or something like that and met Brian Kelly for lunch. He went to the Burren a couple years ago but currently lives in Dublin. He was in Galway last night for a gallery opening he had work in so he stopped through Gort to meet up with us before he goes back to Dublin. He was pretty cool. Amber, Beki and I got chips and coffee.
Tonight is Laura, one of the girls who works in the school cafe,'s half-birthday and there's going to be a musician in the New Hotel so we will prolly go there. Chris Attenborough said he had to go to Mikey's tomorrow to drop off a christmas present from Tom so he is going to take me with him to meet Mikey, who is a local farmer. Hopefully I can take some portraits of him since Martina said I have to focus on just one person (GRR).
I am talking to Brian on iChat right now. He is in Kentucky on tour and apparently it's pretty snowy.
I am eating "Madonnas biscuits (cookies) with hazelnut cream filling" and they are delicious.
The Amber-ism of the day:
"People have been drinking beer for like millions of years."
