Day 16,17 and 18: Baile Atha Cethan

Pages: 432

Random Observations on My Weekend.
  • The train to Dublin arrived early. Impossible to tell if it's a good omen or not.
  • I realise that every opera song I've heard of comes from Carman. (By the way, the song I thought had like lyrics that sound like "Hey Figgro, Ay figroll, da da da" (turns out the actual lyrics don't match remotely) is about love being like a bohemian child)
  • Despite it being abridged and with subtitles above the stage, I don't really know whats going on in Carmen...
  • ...other than Carman should cut down on the violent suitors.
  • The french film, Tell No One, may be the greatest ever, totally on the fact It's the first film I've seen with people playing Pro Evo in it. (the old "You gave me the broken joypad excuse"
  • Whoever was playing Smalltown Girl in their car, has impeccable taste.
  • Shopping Centres in Dublin are frightening places
  • Hybrid cars are much bigger than you would think.
  • You can say "Shite" on Irish children's programming on Sunday mornings. (Disgrace, I remember when B*witched were banned for life from Nicklelodeon for saying "Feck Off" on air. They truly were the Sex Pistols of the mid nineties girl band scene)
  • I'm far too tired to describe more
  • Oh I actually read something on the train....
  • ...but the book isn't on the list.
Line of the Day:
I was looking for an answer, not a song. (Carmen)
