Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I think this will be my last post for a while. I'm officially moving to my new house. We're working on getting the internet there but pobably won't be up until next month. I'm moving the last of my stuff now (ie, my computer).

The Paddy's day festivities have begun. I attened the parade this morning and will post pictures later. I have a few more plans for the weekend so we'll see how they pan out.

Where have I been?

Looking for a hew home, that's where. And I finally found one! I was concentrating my search on the south side becasue I feel like I am really familiar with the north side having lived up here for 7 months. So I went to lots of interviews for lots of overpriced rooms. There were a few good ones, but they always went to someone else quickly. So I broadened my search, and waddayknow? I found a place just up the street from where I am now. It's exactly what I was looking for, except for the location. But the price, people, room, neighborhood is worth it. Here's a map to help out:


I will be moving from Stoneybatter to Phibsboro this coming weekend. It's still the old part of dublin. My new house is an old georgian house, three stories, large living room and kitchen. I'll be sharing with 3 other housemates; Donnchadh (who owns the house), Kieran, and Tanya (who I have yet to meet!). Both the boys seem great though. Oh, and my room is the attic and has it's own bathroom!


So now that I have a house sorted out, I can turn my attention to making plans some holiday called "St. Patricks Day," whatever that is...

They followed me home, can I keep them?



From the BBC, "A pair of Sumatran tiger cubs and a set of young orang-utans, all abandoned at birth, have become inseparable after sharing a room at an Indonesian zoo."
