Stop me if you think you've heard this one before

I think I have. Mark Ronson is this english music producer and he has come up with some amazing tracks. I can't wait for his 2nd album to come out.

Spring is officially here. The clocks go forward an hour tomorrow morning, or today actually. Which means we lose an hour, but the evenings will be much brighter. That's good I suppose. I love when it's 9 o' clock and bright outside. I suppose I am just a bit grumpy that I will lose an hours sleep.

Decisions and Possibilities

What's the saying?
When life hands you an opportunity you grab it with both hands.

So why am I not doing that. I haven't really been given many opportunities so far. With a good friend living in Australia for a year, one would think it was a given that I would visit. I have been thinking about it more and more and I think I might do just that.

One really does get the travel bug around this age. Though I think I've always had it.

Rugby, St Paddys Day and Mothers Day

Well, the day is finally here. Ireland Vs Italy in Roma. At this moment in time I can't remember how many points we have to beat them by to win. It also depends on how France do in their match.

As I type this, I'm watching the Parade on the telly. Last year I spent the day in Cork. The parade there was so tiny compared to the Dublin one. This Paddys day I have no money. I won't be getting legless in town with the rest of Ireland. Which is a good thing because the liver needs a rest.

With it being Mothers Day tomorrow (and my still having no money) the mother has requested I cook her a full meal tonight. She's providing all the ingredients so I can't really say no.

On a completely unrelated topic, my addiction to Grey's Anatomy (McDreamy in particular) is getting out of control. I found a website that shows all of the 3rd series. . .Ok, so it's not good quality and yes it sort of defeats the point of waiting to watch it on tv, but when a programme is this good, how am I expected to wait?

neon bible When I heard that (The) Arcade Fire were releasing a new album this year, I was a bit anxious. Funeral was so good and such a milestone.... it seemed kind of impossible to top. Then came the rumours and the leaks....
Intervention was the first song I heard. After the second play I was hooked. I bought the album on Friday (can someone please explain why albums come out in Ireland before they do anywhere else?!?) and haven't stopped listening.
It's amazing, each song holds its' own. With my recent loss (the death of my ipod) the only cd in my discman (!) this week has been this brilliant sequel.
Yay for the Arcade Fire. I am immensely ecstatic to see them at Oxegen!
