Well another weekend bites the dust. Today as the weather was nice and Im sick shit of cooking I decided we should head out for Sunday lunch. Off to Carrigaline tried 2 places (one being a hotel) and feckin nothing. No food period. To top this off the traffic was mental, so after a visit to Woodies via Belgooly (dont ask) we made KFC. At least we had chicken, granted it wasnt roasted. Saturday night I was left on my tod as herself had some birthday party to go to, so experimenting I went. Rock Shandy and Tia Maria = Vics Liquid Orange Chocolate. The absolute job. Im wondering now if I mixed it with Cidona would I get a toffee apple like cocktail.
Managed to take in Assault on Precint 13 on Friday night as well as nearly dying for stuffeditis from a Chinese. All in all gritty and gorey and that was just the Chinese, the movie was good too. The fish have almost being cleared completley of whitespot, granted theres one more treatment to go tomorrow and thats it then. Big purchase of fish on Friday next.
This is it for today as I can hear the KFC knocking to come out!

Fishy probs
I wake up at 12 this afternoon. Turns out the missus turned the heating on at 6 in the morning, so Im in a heat and sweat induced coma. I struggle down stairs to feed the fish and notice something that I thought that would go away. Tiny little white spots (its a disease thats normally associated with new tanks) appearing on 2 fish now. It will eventually kill them if left untreated, so a journey is called for to the fish shop.
6 Euros later and a Big Mac Im at home, adding 9ml of this blue dye thing into .5 of a litre of hot water. I take 3 attempts, as the instructions say wait for it to disolve while stirring. Now I have a strong wrist (right only) and Im sitrring the shit out of it for 4 minutes, and nothing. So its gone into the tank now and it will have to get a second dose on monday and then after that, sorted........hopefully. You can see a pic of the tank in a previous pic, and Ive had to remove a big ol stone I had in it as this cure will stain it. God help the fish anyway. It now looks like I have a rockery under the tank.
Last show of the week and its been a good week. I gave away 5 pairs of Aslan tickets last night and normally we spin the oul roulette wheel and get people to identify a piece of music. If they guess it correct, they get the tickets. Red is a Top 40 station so for the best part there are no obscure unrecognisable tracks in our archives. The amount of people that got it wrong last night staggers belief. Maybe its easier for me just sitting on my hole. But cmon, Cork people dont know the Frank and Walters......arrrrrrrrgggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I was planning on heading to the flicks tomorrow to break up the day but theres absolutely feck all in. Roll on Sin City on June 3rd, granted its out in August on DVD in the states. Yeah, its pre ordered. Im really trying to lay off the credit card which is proving more difficult every day. The better halfs birthday is next month so I can use that as an excuse.
I could go on and say the price of bread is terrible and the weather is unsettled, but you dont give a shit, do ya....................see, just what I thought.
Keep the hand off it!

Now you can see how shit my camera phone is. Well at night anyway. Just 2 pics of the journey home. If you squint and hit yourself in the nose you can just make me coming out of the Jack Lynch Tunnell. Before the safety people come down on me, it was a passenger that took the pics.
Ive been up since earlier (Dahhhhhhh!) as I have a meeting to get to later on and Im penciled in to interview Christy Dignam from Aslan for tonights show.
The toast and ketchup reciepe for this mornings breakfast isnt sitting too well for some reason or other. Im not even beginning to think how Im going to shift it (I said SHIFT) but Im sure itll come up or go out one way or another.
My list of movies to watch is growing ever larger, with Appleseed just after smashing through the letterbox. Im not a big manga fan (Akira and thats it) at all but after looking at a trailer for this, I couldnt resist. Roll on War of the Worlds anyways, looking forward to that.
Im only talking shite now as theres not much else going on. The weather is absolute rubbish and Ill be firing up a Lasange or mexican rice thing for dinner. I Sky +d Inside the Playboy Mansion the other night and Im only getting round to watching it now. Its like an extreme version of Cribs. The missus thinks hes a bit of a dirty ol man but in all fairness....fair play to ya Hef. Now wheres my invite. No doubt if I managed to get into the mansion and their infamous grotto, everyone else would leave. At least Id get to take home some underwear, theres bound to be loads of it lying around.

Picture(9).jpg
Finally a use for my shitty camera phone. Just found flickr.com and it allows you to post photos from your phone directly to your blog. Thanks to silentbobspeaks.com for the inspiration. Heres one of the hobbit, just for a test. God only knows what will appear here. Ill try and get a photo up here every day. Arent you all so lucky.
The quality from my camera fone is shit as far as Im concerned. The missus phone does it far better. Im a huge fan of Sony products but their phones just aint great. Why did I ever change from a Nokia!
Where people get "it" on never suprises me. Given the list of places people, as some said last night, got their freak on its no wonder Stan Collymore was caught in the act. Just a bit of harmless fun and a good text topic to boot. No doubt someone somewhere got offended, I guess Ill find out later.
Im a bit later than usual today, too much clowning around on the net took up more time than I expected. Just being going through a little bit of TV on the Sky + since last night. Ive been totally addicted to American Chopper for the last 2 years with no sign of it ever stopping. Between that and the mexican flavoured pot noodles life couldnt be better. My old film days are calling to me again, come to think of it theyve never stopped calling me. Im contemplating doing a little short for some of the festivals later on in the year. I guess I need something to get me through the weekends, even after all the takeaways and booze.
The fish are on day 3 and all seem to be well, granted I convinced one of them is on its last legs. Maybe that should be fins. The hobbit is in bed, our bed at that too. Hes been there all morning and theres no sign of him moving his hairy hole. Although he did venture outside to drain himself against the shed (again). Sometimes I wonder why he hasnt got an external bladder tied on behind him as he pisses like a herd of camels. It could be worse I suppose, dont ask me how it could be.
I got my letter about my alleged speeding today, so €80 and 2 points are in the offing. Cant wait. I spend so much time on the show talking about penalty points and like a clown I was caught, granted a few kilometers over the limit but thats no excuse. A mate of mine is contesting his but at this stage Ill just pay the fine. I havent went 1 k over the speed limit since I was stopped. So it does work.

Back to the stone that grinds. Ive been up a few hours and after an injection of coffee, things dont seem to bad. Im still suffering the little bit of block when it comes to the monologues and celeb surveys, but Im sure it will pass.
A month on and Im still waiting for a particular supermarket to refund our Laser card. Yet another phone call this morning proved a bit more promising. Only time will tell, and if it doesnt my bad ass stick weilding legal team will be getting medievil on some holes.
The aquarium, feck it...fish tank (aquarium sounds like Im charging to get it in, and we have this underwater tunnell with a great white chewing on the glass) is doing fine. All 6 fish have survived since the weekend and are eating and doing what fish do. Im looking forward to filling it up with more fish, but a week or 2 will have to go by before then.
I sat down to watch Chasing Amy last night as for some reason, I convinced myself I never ever saw it before. Of course I did, but we left it on none the less. Great ol movie. Kevin Smith could well be Jesus reincarnated. Cmon, hes got the beard and a kind of modern Jesus style hair do. After a few glasses of Tia Maria, twas time for bed but of course the lure of the PC took me away from that. 2 hours and a load of porn later Im in bed going through my twisting and turning.
Im feel the need now for more twisting and turning, looks like the Sunday dinner is looking to depart!

Last night off and the last few days off have really flown by. I got a few fish for the aquarium yesterday, I have to keep the numbers down for a few weeks while the tank climitases to fish shit and so on. I have to admit the last few days or even nights, have been great. More relaxation than anything. I also had to satisy my creative urges, hence the newish look to the blog.
I spent some of today and a bulk of yesterday trying to spend a voucher in Virgin, that I got for my birthday. Its amazingly difficult to buy anything, so the voucher will be stuck in my wallet for at least another week. In ways I think itll be good to get back on the air tomorrow night as Im feckin bored outta my mind right now. Im going to take another day or two here or there, but this break has been the longest so far this year. All work and no play can make one a rather tainted and grumpy muthafucker.
So tomorrow morning itll be back to the ol routine of getting up and writing shit for the show and racking my brains.
