Weekend

Well, this weekend wasn't very productive as far as my trip to Ireland is concerned. My mom did buy me a couple of travel books, though! She got me a Lonely Planet one on Dublin and another book on Ireland.
Most of the weekend was spent at Hollywood Video, which I'm not really complaining about, but I would have liked to spend more time with my cousins. Luckily they ended up staying an extra day on Sunday. I watched a lot of movies over the past few days. I saw Wild Hogs, Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Film for Theaters for DVD, and The Transformers along with a few I've already seen a bajillion times. In my next post I'll have my thoughts on all of them. It was nice getting to catch up on some films that I wanted to see, and some that I didn't know I wanted to see. Tonight I'm going to see Rush Hour 3 with Mr. and Mrs. Nies. I haven't gotten to hang out with them in a while, so this should be fun!
Tomorrow after working at St. Vincent's I'm going to call my Irish family since Elizabeth still hasn't not gotten back to me about the email address I requested. I'm very excited to speak to them, but I'm also kind of nervous. I'm not sure what about. I guess probably a little nervous that they won't like me, but my excitement overshadows any apprehensions.
I will most definately have a post on that conversation. And that's it for this one...

Just thought that your in dublin, you'd want to know about some nice Indie Hang-outs they're not that easy to find (which is the way it should stay)

coffee shops in dublin:
Simons: Number 1 indie coffee shop in dublin it's off Georges Street, in the Georges Street Arcade. GREAT food, coffee and company

if simons is closed (ie Sunday)

Café Irie is your next stop, it's in temple bar, near the central bank, cunningly hidden above a cloths shop, VERY good food, little more pricey than simons.

i'll leave it there hope this is useful.
