Make people happy

Okay finally a new update. Jill got mad and said I had to post something new because the Aussie Oy was pissing her out. Fine. Hope shes happy.

Been depressed actually. Coming back to Ireland after being in Sydney got me depressed, Sydney was just too good. Plus the days are getting shorter. Plus its starting to rain more. Plus I seem to be getting more and more sniffles, culminating in me getting dog sick flu plus fever on Monday. I HATE taking care of myself when Im sick!!! I wanted my mommy.

And I had to fight this flu quick, cuz I had a meeting / day trip to Manchester two days after (today actually) that I had to go to. Bad bad timing. So I slept. Lots. All day Monday and Tuesday, and during the taxi ride down to the Hotel on Tuesday nite (very key and valuable lesson from Noli to all, if you have a early morning flight before 7AM, book a nite at a Hotel near the Airport the night before. Must be done, the added comfort and convenience, its blows the mind.) Id have to say, its was the quickest recovery from a fever Ive ever done, I just got back from Manchester 2 hours ago, all safe and sound. Loads of effort though, and I was hopped up on so many drugs that I would of definitely been stripped of a gold medal if I were in the Olympics (Water Polo, beeyatchh). Anyways Id never do it again if I didnt have to, Id always prefer someone taking care of me instead. Without a doubt, there is nothing worse than having to prepare your own soup when youre out of your mind feverish. Might as well build a house with big heavy stones.

So there you go... lack of blog activity due to melancholy and phlegmy delirum. I still owe alot here too... 3month late on Open of the French photos... and now add Sydney to the list. Im digging myself a hole.

Obligatory Pop Culture reference:

one of my favorite songs this summer was ' Young Folks', by Peter, Bjorn and John (what a brilliant group name, just use your first names. Like Peter Paul and Mary, why fool with a good formula) Great tune, cute in a way thats its sung off tune, and I absolutely loved the lyrics..

"If I told you things I did before,
Told you how I used to be,
Would you go along with someone like me?
If you knew my story word for word,
Had all of my history,
Would you go along with someone like me?"

It just sounds so adorably desperate... like me... but its mojo got wrecked a little bit though when I heard today that its the new song for a Budweiser Advert. Shit....
