Over and over

Finales are crazy. All the networks fighting for the highest viewership, squeezing as much as they can out of old storylines.....
Gossip Girl was good, Desperate Housewives was amazing but I'll always have a soft spot for Meredith & Derek!!
Great music (as usual) in Grey's finale.

can't sleep. cramps cause pain. drugs don't work.

current mood: GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

15 days and counting!

There are many things I want in life, one of which is a custom made Philip Treacy! I love this Acorn one!

Seriously. Cyclones, Earthquakes, at least 50000 people wiped out in a week. Maybe even an entire generation?
It's times like these when it's hard to have faith.

Reading List

The stack of books beside my bed waiting to be read include:

Got this on Friday.
Completely forgot it was coming out.
Liking what I hear so far!

In one of my dreams last night I was in a boxing match and I won. When I woke up this morning, my arms were quite stiff! So I must have actually been boxing, makes sense. I talk a lot in my sleep too. Often my dreams are so long and involved I wake up feeling exhausted from them.
Maybe I should start boxing again, it does wonders for the upper body and that's the part I need to work on most.
Adding to my list of things to find in Paris... cheap boxing classes!




The heat is gone but the sun is still here!
Lunch is salad...... mmm mmm mmm!

In Coldplay news (WOOO!) I really like the new stuff,
it's different but not too different. Viva La Vida is gorgeous and the strings are amazing!

Chris Martin can do no wrong - amazing music, hot wife, cute kids, cool friends....
yet still raises awareness about matters close to his heart.
Some of his peers should take a leaf out of his book.

i love him!

drink is evil

I walked about 3 miles last night, in 4 inch heels. Ouch. There's some crazy people out there. I had a long conversation with an American girl about the election, I counted to ten in italian, for Italians, and they cheered. I spoke Portuguese (at least the words I learned from Aureilia in Love Actually).
The weather has been sunny and dry for 5 days straight now, not to mention hot.... for Ireland. It's so nice! I want it to keep up but I know that's not how Irish weather works.

I'm officially...... knackered.
Brown Thomas are having a 3 day sale...... I think I'll see if there's any Marc Jacobs bags calling my name.
I can't wait til the next Gossip Girl, I'm truely hooked. It's trashy but classy, perfect combo!

Sunny sunny day!
Sunglasses. Coke Floats. Cucumber Salad. Sunscreen.
I can smell all the blossoms as the gentle sea breeze kicks in. May bank holidays are always sunny!
I'm going to the beach tomorrow for ice cream & fish and chips!
