Pub and Apt

last night, Suzi, Kathleen and i went out to this nice pub near the USIT center (Messrs Maguire) and made buddies with the bartender, Derek. he was cool, but he probably thought we were annoying tourists. ha. i tried one of their home-brewed beers, Weiss, which was good, but had a weird aftertaste. but i got used to it. we asked Derek why they weren't playing Irish music, and he said that Irish people think that Irish music is annoying. as if playing Spice Girls and TLC isn't. ha! and then we got some delicious Irish chocolate for free, that were meant to be for customers who ordered coffee or cappuccino. haha oh well. after we finished our pints, Derek asked us if we wanted another, but we thought he asked if we wanted more chocolate, so we said yes! he came back with two Weisses, and we were like, "uhhh...... i thought you meant if we wanted candy!" haha! he gave us a look and poured the two perfectly tapped beers down the drain. we felt soooooooo bad, so we left a nice tip for his troubles. haha.





this morning I finally moved in to the apartment! Susan is super nice to me now, haha. i think the first time she saw me she was just upset because of the drama between her and Kathia and the other girls who lived there before me. i don't know. anyway, all is good now. i bought a new duvet cover for 6 euros ($9)! yay! they're pretty :) i'm living with an Italian girl (Daniela) and a Swedish girl (Klara).

today, i tried going to the social welfare building again to get my PPS # (which is equivalent to the SIN number in Canada, for work). apparently, the utility bill i brought in as proof of my address wasn't good enough, since the bill wasn't in my name. it sucked. now i have to go there again tomorrow. bah.

in the afternoon, i walked by Trinity College again, and took some pictures. found their soccer field and saw some students playing cricket! i've never seen cricket in real life before! it was cool. had an amusing conversation with a woman sitting on the bench where i was, while watching cricket. and then La Creme called me for a job tomorrow! yay! but only tomorrow. haha.. damn. but better nothing!







just before wandering back to the apartment, i came across this little indie cinema called the Irish Film Institute. yeah! I LOOOOVE indie movies! (Princess Cinemas in Waterloo?) anyway, so i took some brochures and hopefully I'll have some time next week to see something good.

anyway, us 3 (me, Daniela and Klara) hung out for a bit once Klara moved in. Daniela cooked us all dinner. mmm pasta! it was really nice of her, and delicious! now, Klara's out at some concert with her friends, and Daniela and i are home just hanging out. well.... i'm blogging. haha. but yeah, i'm gonna sleep soon. i have a bunch of errands to run before work. so.....ta-ta!
