As I said before I got my copy of Rilo Kileys new album last week. The reviews are not great. I really like a few tracks and really DON'T like a few of them. I love Jenny Lewis' voice though, I could listen to it for hours.
Finding suitable accommodation in Cork is proving quite difficult. Of the apartments we viewed the other day, there were certain qualities I'd take from each one, but nothing that really stood out. One really reminded me of the layout of a certain quayside apartment in a French city we all know and love.
If this doesn't work out, I think I'll be working for a few months here and prepare myself for Paris. When people ask me who I'm going there with and I reply 'myself', I get looks of shock, awe, admiration, fear....
I honestly don't feel any of those things, I'm excited for this adventure to begin. If it fails, then so be it, but I won't know until I try.
I can't wait, knowing that a good friend will be a few hours away rather than days away will also hope!

In other news, I was eating ice-cream in a restaurant the other night and there were shards of glass in it! I was crunching the chocolate chips when I realised it was something other than chocolate. Luckily my mouth wasn't cut and they took the price of the ice-cream off the bill. Next time I'm eating ice cream I'll be on the lookout for this kind of thing. I've eaten far too much of it this summer. In Greece I had about 3 a day, eventually my friend had to limit it because I was becoming obsessed with it. Right now I wouldn't say no to three boules of violet ice-cream from Regal Glace..... YUM!!!

One song that I've been listening to a lot is There Is A Light That Never Goes Out - The Smiths. It's one of my top ten songs of all time...... Give it a listen if (shock horror) you haven't heard it in a while. Add Do You Realize - The Flaming Lips to that list.

And a bit of celebrity news: Apparently the reason Britney shaved her head is because K-Fed told her that if a drug test was done, traces of marijuana would be found... I want to love the girl, I really do, but she seems to be getting crazier every day. She's meant to be doing a "surprise" performance at the VMAs in two weeks, if this is the case I think it'll definitely make or break the rest of her career.
Lohan is going to jail for her (multiple) DUIs..... for one day. I'm sure that will really help. She's put out a statement acknowledging her addiction, at least she's admitting her faults (take not Britney/Paris..etc). Nicole Richie is already out of the slammer after her lengthy 82 minute sentence. I guess now that she's with child she can't drink for the next while anyway.
These people never seem to learn... but I love the gossip!
